The Spaniard’s stunning strike – a thunderous drive that flew into the top corner from 25 yards against Everton – came in the 55th minute of a 3-0 victory at the Etihad.
It was a goal that also finished third in Match of the Day’s Goal of the Season competition last weekend and was also one of seven he scored during an excellent campaign.
