I did not see it properly at first and wondered why the commentators were so amazed, but then saw the replay and realized he never hit it with his Right foot he somehow managed to hit it with his Left foot
It's 1st of all shocking to even attempt that. Only acceptable in training perhaps, in a non competitive match.
Seriously though that is actually world class. The technique of how he got such power and accuracy from that stupid little "I'm a tosser" manover, is really impressive.
If Ronaldo or messi done it....it would be more believable.

written in the exact way as boring Milner off twitter
Watching it on TV, It seemed to me that all players stopped momentarily thinking the previous challenge prior to Lamela's goal was a foul. I believe it was just a casual way of show-boating rather than a deliberate effort to score.
All very spectacular, but the miserable sod in me can't help thinking they'd be better overall players if they spent more time practicing with their weak foot and less time practicing a trick you can maybe use twice a season.
I can remember Stuart Leary passing the ball like this back in the 50's. He could pass the ball quite a distance with this method. What a great player he was and a good all-rounder at cricket too (KCC); I wonder if there is any old film out there showing him in his football playing days?
A 9 year old tried it at my sons training this morning, didn't work, so the idiot manager made him sit out of the session for a couple of minutes as a result!

Would also prefer to cross like that than with my left.
Yes, my left foot is shit.
As I type, shows how weak the attempt to use his right foot to curl it in just before he whips in a left foot volley.

I guess they may now call it a Lamela.

....absolute worldy, to even get that on target is impressive.
That worked out well!
