From Olivier Giroud to Henrikh Mkhitaryan, there have been some world-class volleys in the Premier League this season, but arguably none of them hold a candle to this effort.
In an under-9s game against Derby, this young Everton magician stunned everybody with the sort of touch you might sooner expect from Zinedine Zidane.

An out-swinging corner is cleared from the box, right into the path of the star of the show.After that it’s just a simple case of taking a touch on the volley, teeing the shot up, and volleying the ball into the goal off the post.
@Everton @dcfcofficial A brilliant strike! So many excellent goals but this was ??????

The fans obviously loved it, with some even going as far as to suggest the goal-of-the-season winner for the senior side’s game at Arsenal on Sunday.
@Everton @dcfcofficial Start him against Arsenal at the weekend!
