KAORU MITOMA'S stunning individual goal against Wolves has left fans in disbelief.
The Brighton winger turned into Diego Maradona to give his side the lead on Saturday.
His solo strike even had Gary Lineker hailing the goal as a "thing of beauty".
Mitoma opened the scoring at Molineux after collecting the ball on the left touchline.
He cut inside before skipping past four Wolves defenders as he raced towards goal.
Goalkeeper Jose Sa was then powerless to deny the Japan international as he slotted the ball into the bottom corner.

The 26-year-old scored seven goals and added six assists in the league to help Brighton finish sixth in the Premier League.
