As Alan Shearer said on Match of the Day after seeing Dimitri Payet's Rabona assist against Watford, the piece of skill was "sexy".

Unfortunately for West Ham, Payet's move would be followed by a concession of four goals but up to that second goal which he set up for Michail Antonio, all had been looking rosy.

The Rabona, where the ball is kicked from behind the standing leg, is spectacular when it comes off.

Paris Saint-Germain's Angel Di Maria has had a penchant for them in the past.

Not so very long ago, another Argentine, Erik Lamela scored one for Tottenham in the Europa League.

Over in Serie A, where Lamela used to play for Roma, AC Milan's Carlos Bacca notched one on Coppa Italia duty in January. 

In Chelsea's recent match against Burnley, Eden Hazard tried a rabona cross with the Blues coasting to victory. He already had form for trying it out.

And here he is again almost getting an assist from a Rabona. Unfortunately Chelsea era Fernando Torres was the target.
