Sam Merson, son of Arsenal legend Paul, scored an incredible goal on Tuesday that has since gone viral on social media.

Paul enjoyed an illustrious career for the Gunners, scoring 99 times in 417 games, while he also represented the likes of Middlesbrough, Aston Villa and Portsmouth.

The former forward won 21 caps for England and netted 154 times across his time in the game.

However, none will have come close to the goal that Sam, 29, struck for eighth tier Hanworth Villa last night.

Sam, 29, has enjoyed a career exclusively in non-league which has seen him previously represent the likes of Biggleswade Town, Redditch and St Albans City.
