#2 Sofiane Boufal v West Brom (2017)

Moroccan international Sofiane Boufal may have missed out on selection for the World Cup but he sure electrified fans at the St.Mary's Stadium in October 2017 after a brilliant individual goal. He had struggled to get regular playing time but reminded the manager of his genuine quality.

This time, he came on as a substitute for Dusan Tadic to score the only goal of the game as it ended 1-0. He picked the ball from the midfield area, turned Allan Nyom inside out before initiating a surging run forward.

He then skipped past Jack Livermore, danced past Craig Dawson who subsequently clashed with the back tracking Nyom. He then cut to his right to create room for a shot and fired past the hapless Ben Forster in goal.
