A lot of Leeds United fans were stunned by a video shared by Graham Smyth, showing Luke Ayling’s wonder goal in just the third minute of the Whites’ 2-0 win over Huddersfield Town.
The footage shows Jack Harrison running down the left with the ball at his feet (0:02); he then pings a cross to the back post where Ayling has made a run. (0:04)
Was this Luke Ayling's best goal for Leeds?
Yes
No
The 28-year-old then meets the cross with a stunning volley that smashes off the bar and bounces into the net to spark wild scenes at Elland Road. (0:06)
Ayling then unties his hair and charges towards the bench where his jubilant teammates mob him. (0:10)
It was some goal, and it has deservedly received a great reaction on Twitter from these Whites fans.

What do we think?
This was Ayling’s third goal in five games, but we doubt any of them were better than this one.
The former Bristol City man could not have made a better connection, and it gave the Whites the perfect platform to build off.
Patrick Bamford added a second and Leeds held on to move seven points clear of third with just nine games to go.
