There was some cracking goals both in the Premier League and the League of Ireland this weekend; notably this absolute pearler from Dundalk's Ciaran Kilduff and Benteke's wonder strike for Liverpool.
Let's put those to the side for a moment though and take a look at the 5 best goals from around the rest of Europe. Goals from Germany, France, Italy, Portugal and Poland make the cut!
1. Anderson Talisca (Benfica v Belenenses)
The 21 year old Brazilian scored his side's 6th goal with an incredible strike. Watch it from every angle.

2. Mauricio Pinilla (Atalanta v Sassuolo)
A beautiful finish from the Chilean as he gently guides the ball into the bottom corner with an overhead kick.
3. Fabian Lustenberger (Hertha Berlin v Stuttgart)
The ball fell perfectly to Lustenberger after a free kick wasn't cleared and he duly smashed it into the corner of the net. Great technique.

4. Jaroslaw Fojut (Pogon Szczecin v Piast Gliwice)
Oh Bolton, you were fools to let him go! Former Bolton Wanderers youth prospect Fojut saw the goalie off his line, took the free kick quickly and lobbed him from the halfway line. (Skip to 1:04 in the video for the best view)

5. Benjamin Mendy (Marseille v SC Bastia)
There are shades of Whelan v Italy about this one! A short corner is laid off to Mendy who guides it perfectly into the net via the crossbar while somehow leaving the goalie completely powerless to stop it.
Benjamin Mendy! So similar to Diarra's strike last fortnight. Another well worked short set piece! 😍 #TeamOM http://t.co/L4Zx6r9IBg
