Ireland striker Sinclair Armstrong scored one of the goals of the day, as he opened the scoring for QPR in their FA Cup clash with Bournemouth.
The 20-year-old Dubliner already has a cap for the senior Ireland team, and has been a star for a strong U21s side in recent months.
Unfortunately QPR would lose out 2-3, after going 2-0 ahead in the first-half, but the nature of the goal showed some of the skills that have been missing for Ireland over the past few years.
Sinclair Armstrong Scores FA Cup Cracker For QPR
A big fan of the solo finish was Sky Sports' Paul Merson who was mid-waxing lyrical about the goal before Lyndon Dykes doubled QPR's lead:
It's Armstrong who scored, whose an absolute hand full, he's got pace, strength and he gets down the left hand side with Senesi running on him and he just does an Henry on him.
Just goes past him and then comes back on his right and bends it in the far corner by the keeper. It's a real, real good finish, he's a real handful. He's a bit hit and miss every now and then.
Dykes shoots, Dykes scores!!
