What. A. Goal.

Andy Carroll is not usually known for his world-class strikes, but he silenced his doubters on Saturday with a sensational bicycle kick against Crystal Palace.

Carroll scored the second in West Ham’s 3-0 win, acrobatically putting the ball past Wayne Hennessey to meet Michail Antonio’s cross.

The goal was widely hailed on Twitter, with many claiming it was better than both Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Olivier Giroud’s scorpion kick strikes.

Great goal by Andy Carroll. Goal of the season so far. Edges out Mkhitaryan and Giroud.

Carroll's goal is definitely better than Giroud's. An overhead kick with THAT much power and placement? Got to be.

Andy Carroll just stole Giroud's goal of the month ???

Carroll goal> giroud goal.
What a conscious goal unlike giroud's fluke.

With this Carroll goal, Arsenal fans just realized that Giroud ain't winning goal of the month.

Debate all you want about goal of the year. I'll take Andy Carroll's ten times out of ten over Giroud. #PremierLeague

Andy Carroll deserves to win December Goal of the Month for that finish. Unbelievable.

— Adam Sweeney (@AdamWSweeney) January 14, 2017

Carroll's goal was a country mile better than those Giroud or Mickey 'scorpion kicks'

Giroud scoring scorpion kicks, Andy Carroll scoring bicycle kicks. What's next, Marouane Fellaini scoring with a rabona?

— Paddy Power (@paddypower) January 14, 2017

Best thing about Carroll scoring that madness is that giroud can't now get goal of the month lmaosndbdbdvdvd

Forget winning Goal of Month over Giroud.. Carroll hit something of Puskas level.
