Jack Wilshere's last-day strike against West Brom - his admittedly scrumptious thunderbolt of a strike - was voted Match of the Day goal season but we've been wondering if it was just a reaction to the day.
The Arsenal midfielder buried the sweetest of strikes on Sunday to send the Gunners into the FA Cup final on a high but he romped home in the Match of the Day poll with over a third of the votes.
He beat Charlie Adam's halfway line strike, he hammered Juan Mata's bicycle kick against Liverpool.
We bloody love this effort but goal of the season? A bit rash. Let's relax and think about it.
But, still, it was good enough that it merited going through it step-by-step. Even if Wilshere only touched the ball once in the move. But that was enough.
