A lot of Leeds United fans are in awe of Luke Ayling’s superb goal during the Whites’ 5-4 win over Birmingham City.
Ayling was shaky at the back for the third game in a row but made up for it with an assist and a stunning goal as well as forcing the own goal at the end of the match.
Was this one of Leeds' best goals this season?
Yes, quality goal by Ayling
No, good strike but the Whites have scored better
The 28-year-old picked up a cross field ball from Ezgjan Alioski and drifted inside of Jeremie Bela, and as space opened up, he hit the ball with the outside of his right boot, and the ball curled into the top corner.
This caused Ayling to run off and perform one of the weirdest celebrations of the season, but it was a fantastic goal.
The strike went down well on Twitter with many Leeds fans.

Its notable Leeds do everything quickly in every goal. Could be another development from last season.

Other Whites supporters love how pained the Birmingham City commentators sound.
The salt content of the commentator has been categorised as unsafe for human consumption.

What do we think?
The commentary over the video is amusing as the two Birmingham City commentators grudgingly accept that Ayling’s goal was good.
This was the former Bristol City man’s first goal of the season and his third overall for Leeds and though he was exposed on a few occasions to be directly involved in two goals and then play a big part in the winner means that Ayling deserves credit.
In recent weeks he has received some criticism, but this was a big performance from Ayling, and he will be hoping that he can build on this in the next few games.
