Stoke City boss Mark Hughes hailed the quality of Mame Biram Diouf's winner at Manchester City.
Diouf ran from deep inside his own half to nutmeg Joe Hart and hand the Potters 1-0 success over the Barclays Premier League champions at the Etihad Stadium.
It was a brilliant first goal in Stoke colours for the former Manchester United forward, who was signed on a free transfer from Hannover in the summer.
Hughes said: "We are really pleased for Mame. He is a striker and when you come to a new club you want to make an impression as quickly as possible and that means scoring goals.
"We could see he was going to give us something we didn't have last year, which was pace and power on the break.
"It was an outstanding goal and I hadn't realised until I saw it again how deep he picked the ball up.
"He kept on going and you always sensed he was going to go all the way and get a shot off. Thankfully there was enough power on it to beat Joe. It was fantastic goal to win any game."
