Jamie Carragher reacts to Jack Colback's unstoppable strike for Nottingham Forest

Jack Colback's wonder strike was the kind of goal that players dine out on for the rest of their lives and can earn them the kind of national attention they never dreamed of.

The Nottingham Forest man's short throw-in to Brennan Johnson on the left wing came back to him immediately. Without hesitation he swung a leg at it on the volley and it somehow ended up in the net.

The swerve and trajectory of the ball completely fooled David Button in the West Brom net, giving him zero chance of getting a hand to it. Simply unstoppable.

GOLAZO: A goal to go down in legend from Jack Colback as Nottingham Forest bounce back in style

ANALYSIS: Nottingham Forest give the perfect answer to important question with crushing West Brom win

It was a real rocket of a hit, as Jamie Carragher would agree. The former Liverpool and England defender tweeted his reaction to the goal during the game, simply tweeting the player's name next to a rocket emoji. No more need be said.

The debates will rage over his intention with the strike. Was it a cross? Was it a shot? Only Colback will know while we guess away.

But let's be real for a second: who genuinely cares whether he meant it or not? It was a ridiculous strike, the type of which you very rarely see. Jack Colback likely won't score another like it for the rest of his career. So just drink it in.
