Fernando Torres has just scored an overhead.

They are words few would expect to read in 2017, but here we are.

The Atletico Madrid striker did this against Celtic Vigo on Sunday night in the La Liga game:

Seven years ago, when Torres was in his prime and scoring goals for fun at Liverpool, this wouldn’t have been a surprise,

But in 2017, few expect to see the 32-year-old striker do something like this.

The same can’t be said about Torres’ next involvement. The Spanish striker had the chance to put Atletico in-front from the penalty spot.

Somehow, after scoring such a great goal minutes previously, Torres missed.

Luckily for Torres and Atletico, Antoine Griezmann won the game late-on, with his goal making it 3-2.
