Gary Neville praised Alejandro Garnacho for his incredible and enchanting bicycle kick during the match against Everton.

Before the match, a lot of the conversation centered around Everton losing 10 points and Erik ten Hag choosing to let teenager Kobbie Mainoo start in the Premier League instead of Marcus Rashford.

However, Garnacho from Manchester United caused a stir with a goal that possibly has the potential to be the best of the entire season.

Diogo Dalot passed the ball from the right side of the field and Garnacho executed an amazing overhead kick, reminiscent of Rooney's move during the Manchester derby from a decade ago.

Garnacho quickly noticed the chance, positioned himself appropriately, and jumped high to strike the ball flawlessly towards the upper corner, leaving no chance for England's goalie, Jordan Pickford, to block it.

During a Sky Sports commentary, Gary Neville expressed his astonishment towards Garnacho's incredible overhead kick goal. He shared that he was surprised by the feat and hadn't witnessed another player pull off a strike as impressive since Rooney's in the Manchester derby. Neville described it as a magical moment and an outstanding display of skill.

Garnacho did a fantastic job and copied Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic 'siu' celebration to honor the moment. It will be hard to forget such a unique way of celebrating his first goal of the season.

John Murray, who was speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, expressed his thoughts by saying: "There are some amazing memories to reflect upon, specifically some remarkable goals we have witnessed. I’m pondering amazing goals scored by Mark Hughes, as well as Wayne Rooney's stunner in the Manchester derby - that particular goal was definitely one of the best."

"That was quite an impressive feat! In my opinion, it stands out as one of the most outstanding goals I've ever witnessed firsthand."

During half time, Roy Keane expressed that the goal scored was excellent.
