10. Munas Dabbur (Grasshoppers) vs. FC Sion
1 of 10Grasshoppers went 2-0 up in their Swiss Super League bout with FC Sion on Sunday thanks to a piece of individual magic from Munas Dabbur.
The Israeli forward bamboozled the Sion defence with a series of close control tricks before burying the ball in the net.
Unfortunately, the goal wasn't enough to secure any meaning as Sion went on to score three unanswered goals of their own.
9. Steven Fletcher (Sunderland) vs. Newcastle
2 of 10
Sunderland earned their their first win of the season when they beat local rivals Newcastle for the sixth successive time on Sunday.

8. Paulo Dybala (Juventus) vs. Atalanta
3 of 10Juventus' return to domestic form continued with a 2-0 home win over Atalanta on Sunday.
Summer signing Paulo Dybala opened the scoring in style with a perfectly hit left-footed drive.
7. Alexandre Pato (Sao Paulo) vs. Coritiba
4 of 10The spectators who turned out at Coritiba's Major Antonio Couto Pereira Stadium for their clash with Sao Paulo on Sunday were treated to two fine golazos.
Luis Carcares sent a rocket into the net seconds before the break for the home side, but his effort might have been eclipsed by what turned out to be the winning goal from Alexandre Pato.
The former Milan forward found the ball at his feet on the edge of the box and launched a pinpoint left-footed shot into the top corner.
6. Domenico Berardi (Milan) vs. Sassuolo
5 of 10Sassuolo's visit to the San Siro to face Milan on Sunday ended with a 2-1 defeat, but the visitors took away the consolation of a beautiful free kick.
In the 53rd minute, Domenico Berardi struck a perfect dead ball past the Rossoneri's 16-year-old debutant goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
5. George Thorne (Derby) vs. Huddersfield
6 of 10There's nothing quite like a long-range golazo to win a game.
Derby County are well aware of this, after midfielder George Thorne earned them three points on the road at Huddersfield with a brilliant 25-yard strike.
4. Marlone (Sport Recife) vs. Palmeiras
7 of 10Sport Recife's 2-0 victory over Palmeiras in the Brazilian Serie A was notable for a beautiful strike from Marlone.

3. Nolito (Celta Vigo) vs. Real Madrid
8 of 10Real Madrid found themselves at the summit of la Liga on Saturday after a 3-1 victory over second-placed Celta Vigo.
The goal of the game, though, was Nolito's 85th-minute consolation for the home side, which thundered past Keylor Navas from outside the box.
2. Lucas Silva (Cruz Azul) vs. Santos Laguna
9 of 10Cruz Azul leapfrogged over Santos Laguna at the bottom of the Liga MX table on Saturday thanks to a 2-1 victory.
The winning goal was a sensational volley from Lucas Silva, who punished a poor defensive clearance with a worldie of a volley.
1. Gregory Pujol (Gazelec Ajaccio) vs. Nice
10 of 10At the 11th time of asking, Gazelec Ajaccio notched their first-ever Ligue 1 win on Saturday by sinking Nice 3-1.

Route one play at its finest!
