Pedro Goncalves scored a wonder goal from the halfway line as he brilliantly lobbed Aaron Ramsdale in the Europa League on Thursday night.
Sporting were level just after the hour mark and in remarkable circumstances as the Portuguese attacking midfielder spotted the England goalkeeper off his line.
The wondergoal proved crucial as Sporting survived an onslaught from the Gunners in extra time before winning on penalties to reach the quarter-finals and dump Arsenal out of the competition.
Goncalves joined Sporting in the summer of 2020 after a season at top-flight side Famalicao.
The 24-year-old had a two-year stint at Wolves from 2017 to 2019, joining Nuno Espirito Santo's side when they were in the Championship.
And fans were quick to react with one saying: 'I'm not blaming anyone in the team for that goal.
'Pedro Goncalves is not sane, he is not normal. He is insane. Insane. Wow.'
Another commented: 'Pedro Goncalves showing David Bentley how to do it. Speechless.'
Elsewhere, a Twitter user shared a picture of one fans awestruck face and said: 'This guy's face says it all. What a goal!!!'
Another joked: 'Pedro Gonçalves wasn't good enough for wolves uno.'
Sporting were reduced to 10 men in the closing stages of extra-time as Manuel Ugarte was shown a second yellow card for clattering into Bukayo Saka.
But it mattered little as Sporting triumphed on penalties to ensure they will be in Friday's quarter-final draw.

it is ok. Actually Arsenal prefers to concentrate on the league. Just look at arteta's lineups. 2:2 no advantage and he is still keeping star players on the bench
NA LIE, YOU ARE NOT UP TO THE STANDARD OF EUROPEAN FOOTBALL YET.

arsenal will focus on the league but will lose at the end. Arteta won't be able to go past his old boss
