Usually the only videos that go viral on the Internet are those that feature a cat doing something crazy, Taylor Swift singing about her 732 ex-boyfriend or an absolutely incredible feat of sporting skill.

We’re delighted to say that Peamount United Ladies’ Stephanie Roche’s amazing strike has been nominated for the prestigious Puskas award.

Take a look at some of the other contenders that Stephanie is nominated alongside.
