Dimitar Berbatov returned to north London and showed that whilst still looking incredibly lazy, maintains an eye for goal.

The former Tottenham striker capitalised on a Per Mertesacker mistake to score Monaco's second goal of the night in the Champions League Round of 16 first-leg tie against Arsenal.

His away goal (one of three), by a player who admitted prior to the match he would have liked to have played for the Gunners, could prove crucial in deciding which team advances to the quarter-finals.

Following his coolly taken strike, the internet went into meltdown. Here's some of the best reaction...

Monaco won the match 3-1.
