Hatem Ben Arfa was released by Newcastle exactly one year ago and has started to rebuild his career with Nice this season. 

The 28-year-old was in action for Les Aiglons' French Cup clash with Rennes on Monday evening, during which he nearly scored a stunning goal with some very impressive dribbling skill. 

Evidently, the internet was pretty impressed:
