Any time your team scores a go-ahead goal in the Champions League, it's a moment worth noting. When you score a goal off an assist like the one Manchester United attacker Juan Mata just provided, though, you stand up and applaud.

Look. At. That. Flick. Mata just lifts his leg up and flips the ball over his shoulder like it’s no big deal, and of course it drops in perfectly between the defense and goalkeeper for Smalling to tap in. You can’t defend against that. It’s just not fair.
