Match: Barcelona v. Celtic
Competition: Champions League group stage, match day six
Ground: Camp Nou, Barcelona, Spain

Tiki-taka at its best, right here. A series of one-touch passes is capped off with the over-the-top ball, which beats the offside's trap, and ends with Neymar passing the ball into a wide open net.

Match: Everton v. Fulham
Competition: English Premier League match
Ground: Goodison Park, Liverpool, England

Leon Osman isn't exactly known for his goal-scoring prowess, but any good footballer is ready to pounce when presented with the opportunity. Besides, the way Everton are flying right now, any outfield player looks more than capable of putting it into the back of the net at any time. Great side-footed finish from the long time Blue.

Match: Atletico Madrid v. Porto
Competition: Champions League group stage, match day six
Ground: Vincente Calderon, Madrid

It's that man, again. This time, Diego Costa is wonderfully picked out by Oliver, before he controls the ball with his head, rounds the keeper, and finishes from a tight angle. Atleti just keep on ticking.

Date: 12/14/2013
Match: Bayern Munich v. Hamburger SV
Competition: Bundesliga match
Ground: Allianz Arena, Munich

With nine goals already this campaign, Pierre-Michel Lasogga finds himself just two goals off the lead for the Bundesliga golden boot. Here, the Frenchman does ever so well to place this one into the top corner, leaving Neuer rooted to his spot.

Match: Barcelona v. Celtic
Competition: Champions League group stage, match day six
Ground: Camp Nou, Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona ended the group stage by walloping Celtic, 6-1, and this neat finish from Tello gives a glimpse into why the Spaniard had been linked with so many sides this summer. He does ever so well to control the ball on the edge of the area, before wrong-footing Forster for the finish.

Date: 12/11/2013
Match: Napoli v. Arsenal
Competition: Champions League group stage, match day six
Ground: San Paolo, Naples, Italy

Despite finishing the group stage on 12 points, same as Arsenal and Dortmund, Napoli failed to qualify for the knockout stages of this year's Champions League. However, this deft chip from Jose Callejon had the Italian side in prime position to advance, if Dortmund hadn't come through late.

Date: 12/15/2013
Match: Tottenham v. Liverpool
Competition: English Premier League match
Ground: White Hart Lane, London

It just wouldn't be a weekend in football without a sensational display from Luis Suarez. The Uruguayan filled in as captain for the injured Steven Gerard, and put on another masterclass performance. This deft chip over an on-rushing Lloris was Suarez's second, and one of Liverpool's five on the night.

Date: 12/14/2013
Match: Osasuna v. Real Madrid
Competition: La Liga match
Ground: El Sadar, Pamplona, Spain

This is a cracking finish from Isco, but just take a moment to marvel at the moves and the assist from Cristiano Ronaldo. This man is absolutely playing out of his skin. Madrid needed the best effort from all their players to rescue a point, after falling behind 2-0, and losing Sergio Ramos to a sending off.

Date: 12/14/2013
Match: Bayern Munich v. Hamburger SV
Competition: Bundesliga match
Ground: Allianz Arena, Munich

Cool as you like it. Mario Gotze makes it look so easy, as he takes the pass with his back to goal, and sets himself up on the turn to volley home.

Date: 12/14/2013
Match: Rennes v. PSG
Competition: French Ligue 1 match
Ground: Route de Lorient, Rennes, France

Usually it's the likes of Cavani and Ibrahimovic, who represent PSG in the top goals category. However, this fantastic move and finish from Thiago Motta is every bit as deserving of the praise those two normally command. Motta was integral in the 3-1 victory for the league leaders.

Date: 12/15/2013
Match: Tottenham v. Liverpool
Competition: English Premier League match
Ground: White Hart Lane, London

It proved a memorable day for Liverpool in many ways after their 5-0 thrashing of Spurs at White Hart Lane, but perhaps the best moment of the match came from young Jon Flanagan. The full back, and Liverpool native, fired home his first Liverpool goal, a half-volley that left Lloris with absolutely no chance. The goal was Liverpool's third on the night, and firmly put the contest to bed.

Date: 12/14/2013
Match: Manchester City v. Arsenal
Competition: English Premier League match
Ground: Etihad, Manchester, England

You simply cannot give a player of Fernandinho's ability that much time and space on the ball. With that said, it's still a fantastic finish from the Brazilian. This was just one the many times Arsenal's defense was breached during Saturday's 6-3 defeat.

Date: 12/14/2013
Match: Chelsea v. Crystal Palace
Competition: English Premier League match
Ground: Stamford Bridge, London

This fantastic right-footed effort from Ramires left the Palace keeper rooted to his spot. The Brazilian's effort proved to be the winner for Chelsea, who picked up valuable ground on first-pace Arsenal. Watch out, Torres.

Date: 12/11/2013
Match: Atletico Madrid v. Porto
Competition: Champions League group stage, match day six
Ground: Vincente Calderon, Madrid

Wam, bam, thank you...Porto. Raul Garcia calmly takes the pass with his back to goal, frees himself up with one touch of his left boot, and fires it in first time off the underside of Helton's crossbar.

Date: 12/11/2013
Match: Barcelona v. Celtic
Competition: Champions League group stage, match day six
Ground: Camp Nou, Barcelona, Spain

Ladies and gentlemen, Neymar. Watch again, and again, as the Brazilian leaves Efe Ambrose for dead before finishing with class. That is how you cap your first Champions League hat trick.

Date: 12/14/2013
Match: Manchester City v. Arsenal
Competition: English Premier League match
Ground: Etihad, Manchester, England

What a fantastic curling effort from the speedy winger. Walcott does very well to keep himself in line with the City defense, before he deads Ramsey's pass, and fires past the giant Pantilimon.

Date: 12/12/2013
Match: Tottenham v. Anzhi
Competition: Europa League group stage, match day six
Ground: White Hart Lane, London

Lewis Holtby pulled off one of the goals of the Europa League group stage, with this stunning effort against Anzhi. Watch carefully, as Holtby takes the pass and sets himself up for the audacious finish, all without letting the ball touch the ground.

Date: 12/15/2013
Match: Wigan v. Bolton
Competition: Football League Championship match
Ground: DW Stadium, Wigan, England

We see you down there in the championship, Nick Powell. The on loan Manchester United man scored this fantastic bicycle kick goal, which proved vital in Wigan's 3-2 victory over Bolton. Think Moyes could use his services at Old Trafford?

Date: 12/10/2013
Match: København v. Real Madrid
Competition: Champions League group stage, match day six
Ground: Parken Stadium, Copenhagen, Denmark

How about this for a thumper from the former Spurs man? Modric does well to lose his defender, and create the space to fire into Wiland's top corner. This match was a mere formality for Los Merengues, who were already assured of a place in the last 16 of the competition.

Date: 12/15/2013
Match: Norwich City v. Swansea City
Competition: English Premier League match
Ground: Carrow Road, Norwich, England

Here it is, folks. The individual goal of the Premiership round goes to Gary Hooper of Norwich. The former Celtic man chests the ball down and fires a sensational first-time volley over the head of Michel Vorm. This is certainly one to savor, over and over again.
