Michael Obafemi scored an 89th minute winner for Swansea in their 2-3 defeat of West Brom in the Championship earlier today.
It was far from a tap-in as well as the Irish striker had to take a controlled first touch away from the defender, before turning and firing an unstoppable shot past David Button.
Obafemi began the game on the bench, before being brought on in the 62nd minute, after his much publicised mini-spat with his manager Russell Martin.
The striker appeared to want out of Swansea during the transfer window, but, after failing to secure a move away, it left Obafemi in an awkward spot with Martin and the club's supporters.
However, following his heroics today, fans took to social media to forgive the forward.

Earlier this month, Martin gave an insight into the controversy with his striker and explained why he had left Michael Obafemi out of Swansea's match day squad against QPR.
"He obviously had the turbulent few days over the transfer window. After that, it’s down to him to put himself back in, to show us that he’s in the right, to show us that he's in the right place to contribute to the team, to the group. As soon as he is, he’ll be back in and ready to go.
"He’s been fine, but there’s a group of players who won the game against QPR. Michael has to compete with those guys, and give us a decision to make for the squad ahead of [Tuesday].
"I would say he is getting there, slowly but surely. We’re in a better place than we were a week ago and, that’s for sure, and that’s all we can ask."
