Some lovely strikes in Europe this week, including two in the one match at Camp Nou as Barcelona overcame Villarreal.

5. ADLI IS WORTH WATCHING

The 19-year-old Bordeaux playmaker is one of the most eye-catching developing talents in Ligue 1, and his two strikes against Amiens were worth watching on repeat. His second was a free-kick whizzed into the corner, but his first was a cultured curling shot into the top corner.

4. SANTI STILL GOING STRONG

It's a minor miracle that Santi Cazorla is still playing football, let alone playing at such a high standard. He continues to put his injury torment behind him week after week, and his stunning swerving shot put Villarreal back in the game in an entertaining match at Camp Nou against Barcelona.

3. HERNANI SANTOS' ANGLED VOLLEY

Levante may have went down 3-1 at Real Betis, thanks in no small part to the genius of Joaquin, but Santos' goal will be the moment most remembered. The ball rolls through onto his left foot and as the angle gets tighter he lashes his shot across the goalkeeper and right inside the post. A superb finish.

2. GOLOVIN COMES GOOD

Alexander Golovin cost a lot of money to Monaco and he finally seems ready to prove his worth in Monaco team that desperately needed a victory. His first goal in an impressive double against Nice was excellent striking play. Following a neat short corner, the Russian cuts inside and lashes into the top corner with his left foot.

1. Arthur'S SWEET STRIKE

Arthur is continue to develop and find his place in this Barcelona team and his wonder strike that rocketed into the top corner against Villarreal will go some way to ensuring his regular integration into what is a competitive midfield.
