Stoke winger Xherdan Shaqiri provided a timely reminder of his talents on Monday when he scored a stunning goal in the Potters' Premier League clash with Everton at Goodison Park:

Shaqiri started the game still looking for his first Stoke goal, but a first-half brace soon saw to that. The second, in particular, was something special:

"

"

Though not everyone appreciated it:

"

This guy looks like he is about to go and lock Shaqiri's kids in a basement somewhere in the slums of merseyside pic.twitter.com/t2Bjw4ADMu

Some doubted whether he actually meant it:

"

"

Oh. My. God... Not 100% sure Shaqiri meant that but it was incredible...

And then there were the predictable jokes:

"

Shaqiri, those chips don't lie #stoke

"His chips don't lie." Beautiful lob from Shaqiri. #BBCFootball

"

Shaqiri's chips don't lie.

Did anyone do a Shaqiri "Chips don't lie" joke? #EFC #COYB

It's probably safe to say the goal was better than the resulting jokes.
