The Puskas is awarded to the player who has scored the "most beautiful" goal in a calendar year.

In 2014, Irish striker Stephanie Roche finished runner up in the Puskas. She lost out to Colombia's James Rodriguez.

Flores wasn't the only scorer of fine goals last night.

Ireland international Jack Byrne scored the winning goal with a sweetly struck effort from 20 yards.

The @SSEAirtricityLg at it's brilliant best.
