I am sure Rayan Cherki did countless rabonas on the five-a-side and cage football pitches in his home town of Lyon when he was a kid, but to see that superb skill being performed at the top level, with amazing accuracy was something special.

His pinpoint cross to Phil Foden, with the kicking leg crossing behind the back of his standing leg to set up the third Manchester City goal, was the highlight of what felt like a significant win after Arsenal dropped points.

Interestingly Pep Guardiola seemed to downplay Cherki's skill in his post-match interviews, saying: "He does that [rabona] and makes a bad cross I don't like it. I never saw [Lionel] Messi doing these kinds of things.

"The simple things Messi does perfectly."

So managers may not be huge fans of players trying street skills like that and risking losing the ball, but as spectators we absolutely love it.

Imagine how many youngsters have been trying to copy Cherki since that goal?

In fairness to Guardiola, he also praised Cherki, highlighting his "special, unique quality" and if the Frenchman keeps putting in influential performances like that, he'll not only be a key player for City in what's now becoming a dramatic title race but he'll also be a fan's favourite.

I'm certainly not getting tired of watching the replays of that skill on the BBC Sport website. A special moment.
