Juan Mata finished off a sumptuous move in some style as Manchester United beat Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield on Sunday . The Spanish midfielder latched onto Angel di Maria 's lofted pass , and twisted his body to volley a spectacular effort past despairing goalkeeper Simon Mignolet . We 're not calling it an 'overhead kick ' , but his finish was sublime . So , what other scissor kicks have we seen over the years ? Juan Mata fires home a spectacular effort for Manchester United against Liverpool on Sunday . The Spaniard 's goal was the second of his double and secured a 2-1 victory for Louis van Gaal 's side . Paolo di Canio ( WEST HAM vs Wimbledon , 1999 ) As casual as it was genius . When Trevor Sinclair lifted the ball into the box , he would not have imagined the enigmatic Italian forward would have executed the volley to find the corner . Di Canio 's scissor kick flew past Wimbledon goalkeeper Neil Sullivan , and deservedly won West Ham 's player of the season award . His goal of the season gong for 1999/00 in the Premier League was no surprise , either . Paolo di Canio watches on after guiding home a wonderful scissor kick for West Ham against Wimbledon . The Italian forward 's strike was named goal of the season in the 1999/00 Premier League campaign . Gus Poyet ( CHELSEA vs Sunderland , 1999 ) Di Canio 's effort was n't the only scissor kick of that particular Premier League season . On the first day of the campaign , the Uruguayan midfielder sprinted to meet Gianfranco Zola 's lofted pass and spectacularly volleyed home . His goal was one of four at Stamford Bridge against the hapless Sunderland . And that was n't the last time Black Cats fans would lose their cool with Poyet . Guti ( REAL MADRID vs Villarreal , 2001 ) Guti 's scissor kick was one that we had n't seen before , and have n't seen since . Standing upright , similar to Di Canio and Poyet , the Real Madrid star side foots his volley into the top corner . The Bernabeu faithful have seen several special players this century , but not many goals as unique as this ( 3minutes , 10 seconds ) . Mark Hughes ( WALES vs Spain . 1985 ) Wales 3-0 Spain . A day that will long live in the memories of Welsh supporters , thrashing the Euro 1984 runners-up in Wrexham . And not only was it an historic day for the team , Hughes ' goal in his hometown will never be forgotten . The ball spins back to the now-Stoke manager who acrobatically fires it home from shoulder-height , thundering into the top corner . Mark Hughes ' spectacular strike helped Wales to a emphatic 3-0 victory against Spain in 1985 . Dennis Bergkamp ( INTER MILAN vs Rapid Bucharest , 1993 ) Arsenal fans will have seen many special Bergkamp strikes in England over the years , but this effort in Italy may have gone under the radar . In the last 32 of the UEFA Cup , the 24-year-old Dutch striker showed incredible technique from the edge of the box to divert this wayward pass into the bottom corner . Luis Suarez ( BARCELONA vs Levante 2015 ) The former Liverpool striker has now forged his legacy at Barcelona with the winner in El Clasico on Sunday night , but as recently as last month , Suarez was struggling to hit top form at the Nou Camp . This effort after Lionel Messi 's dinked cross in a 5-0 victory helped things though , and he has scored seven goals since . Luis Suarez bends back to fire home a scissor kick during Barcelona 's 5-0 victory against Levante last month . Sebastian Coates ( LIVERPOOL vs QPR , 2012 ) Coates has endeared himself to Liverpool fans defensively , and is now struggling on loan at Sunderland . So this acrobatic attempt against QPR certainly came out of the blue . His first goal for the club , the centre half jogged up for a corner and his volley flew past Paddy Kenny in goal . However , his flaws at the back were later highlighted as the hosts at Loftus Road came back to win 3-2 . Sebastian Coates netted his first goal for Liverpool against QPR in 2012 - a stunning volley past Paddy Kenny . Yann Kermogant ( BOURNEMOUTH vs Ipswich , 2014 ) Down to the Championship now , and with runaway leaders Bournemouth . Four months ago , the Cherries took just 111 seconds to net first against Ipswich . French target man Kermogant lashed home a magnificent scissor kick , sending the Goldstands Stadium faithful wild . Peter Crouch ( LIVERPOOL vs Galatasaray , 2006 ) The scissor kicks of all scissor kicks . Crouch 's semi-overhead effort defied belief . It was his 10th goal in eight starts for club and country , as Liverpool hung on to a 3-2 victory against the Turkish side in the Champions League . Steve Finnan will take credit with the assist ... Peter Crouch uses his large frame to execute a perfect scissor kick against Galatasaray in 2006 . The Liverpool striker and team-mates could barely believe it after his stunning goal at Anfield . Manuel Negrete ( MEXICO vs Bulgaria , 1986 ) It does n't get much better than scoring at the World Cup finals . After taking two touches to bring the ball down , Manuel Negrete fed Javier Aguirre and then met the quick return pass with a mesmeric left-foot volley which had the host nation in raptures .
