Incredible.
Juan Mata pulled off one of the best assist you’re likely to see this season as Manchester United beat Wolfsburg 2-1.
The Spanish playmaker set up Chris Smalling with a wonderful, reverse backheel pass, catching out the entire opposition defence.
Let’s just take a moment to appreciate a wonderful piece of skill and vision from the Mata.
(The finish from Smalling wasn’t bad from either).Dennis Bergkamp would be proud that.
Mata had earlier equalised for United from the penalty spot, after Daniel Caligiuri gave Wolfsburg the lead.
Meanwhile, it might be time to bring the Spaniard into your Fantasy Football team.
