Watch: You think Garnacho's bicycle kick was goal of the season, then think again

After watching this, it's arguably fair to say that Garnacho's sublime strike wasn't even the goal of the weekend!

It's Tuesday afternoon and people are still talking about THAT goal scored on Super Sunday.

And rightly so. Alejandro Garnacho's incredible bicycle kick against Everton, which set Manchester United on course for an important victory, is still being marvelled over and is now being compared to the greatest overhead kicks ever scored.

Was it better than Wayne Rooney's against Manchester City? Maybe. Was it better than Christian Benteke's against Manchester United? Certainly. But was it actually the best goal scored over the course of the weekend? Potentially not.

It will take something special to stop Garnacho from landing the Premier League's goal of the season award but his strike may well have been bettered by a footballer much further down the football pyramid on Saturday.

With a few names in contention for MOTM, it wouldn’t be right to give it to anyone bar H. Short with this outrageous attempt for his first to open his account for the Rawlin, scoring two on the day 👏⚽️

Step forward Cwrt Rawling FC's Harry Short.

Short scored twice for the side in the seventh tier of non-league football in Wales and not only was his opening goal his first for the club, it was an absolute stunner.

As you can see in the clip above, not only was he approximately 40 or so yards out but he also produced a stunning bit of technique to volley the defender's clearance back over the keeper and into the far top left corner.

It may not qualify for Premier League's goal of the season award but it could in contention for the Puskás award which is "awarded to the male or female judged to have scored the most aesthetically significant, or 'most beautiful', goal of the calendar year," according to FIFA.

Better luck next year then, Alejandro!
