Maidenhead might play all the way down in the sixth tier of English football – the Vanarama National League South – but that hasn’t prevented this outrageous Dave Tarpey finish from grabbing everyone’s attention.
With the ball nodded onto him, Tarpey sticks out a leg to control the ball, and the rest as they say, is history.
It's 11.43am and have already watched this goal about 20 times this morning…

Not bad, huh? It’s a mixture of Dennis Bergkamp and Matt Le Tissier, and we dare say both Premier League legends would have been delighted to have scored one like this.
Maidenhead are top of the league, nine points clear of closest rivals St Albans City, and with a striker in the form Tarpey is showing, it’s not hard to see why. This goal was one of four he netted in his side’s 5-0 win.
????@09tarps has scored 4 times in a game during 2016 on 3 occasions

All the best to the rest of the division – you’ve a non-league Cristiano Ronaldo to contend with by the look of it.
