Retired Dean Ashton scored an incredible overhead kick in West Ham's testimonial match for Mark Noble at Upton Park today.

Ashton, who was forced into calling time on his career at the age of just 26 in 2009 after failing to recover from a long-term ankle injury, rolled back the years to score the acrobatic goal (watch below).

Now 32, Ashton can often be found co-commentating on matches for ITV.

Ashton's name soon began trending worldwide thanks to this stunning goal.

The testimonial was a hugely entertaining contest, which West Ham eventually won 6-5 against their opponents, the West Ham All-Stars XI, featuring Paolo Di Canio, Julian Dicks, Rio Ferdinand, Yossi Benayoun and David James to name a few.

The teams then had a penalty shoot-out after the game, which ended 7-7.

Noble will be in competitive action for the Hammers on Saturday, at home against Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
