Pinned to the touchline, with his back to goal and a defender breathing down his neck, Ben Doak seemed bereft of options. Ten seconds later he had the ball in the net.
It was a jaw-dropping solo goal conjured out of nothing. A drop of the shoulder, then another. A dart into the box and a glide past three blue shirts. Then a sublime, curling finish into the far corner with the outside of the boot.
The exquisite strike settled a seven-goal Uefa Youth League thriller in 10-man Liverpool's favour against Rangers. It also neatly encapsulated why Doak is the most exciting Scottish attacking talent to emerge in years.
