Mikel Arteta played ball boy in the lead up to Gabriel Martinelli's wonder goal against Watford as he provided a helping hand to the Arsenal forward.
The Brazilian finished an outstanding team goal to give the Gunners a 3-1 lead - as the visitors secured a 3-2 victory at Vicarage Road - and the Arsenal boss played a huge part in how the goal came about.
The ball went out of play on the right-hand side for an Arsenal throw-in and the Spaniard rushed out of his dugout up the touchline to give the ball to Bukayo Saka quickly so the visitors could spring a quick attack.
And it worked to perfection as Saka got the ball back in play quickly to Cedric Soares who played it inside to Martin Odegaard.
It was all one-touch stuff from that point on as the Norwegian then found Alexandre Lacazette who laid it off for Martinelli who rifled it into the top corner past the helpless Ben Foster.
Arteta's quick thinking was praised on social media as Gary Lineker praised the Arsenal boss' involvement in the goal.
He said: "Another beauty from Arsenal. Not often the manager plays a part in the move."
Add the Match of the Day present was correct on both accounts - it wasn't the only excellent goal Arsenal scored against Watford.
Odegaard opened the scoring with a brilliant strike into the bottom corner five minutes into the match, assisted by Saka.
The England international then got in on the act himself as he brilliantly dispossessed Watford at the back before his effort nestled in the top corner to give Arsenal a 2-1 lead.
Those two goals meant Saka now has the most league goals and assists of any U21 player in the Premier League.
Watford arguably scored the goal of the game, however, as Cucho Fernandez's acrobatic finish levelled things up in the first half after Odegaard's opening strike.
Moussa Sissoko would grab one back for Watford but Arsenal would see out the victory and seal a vital three points in the top-four race.
And Roy Keane reckons they are favourites to qualify for the Champions League and a proving they are not a "soft" team, something they have been widely criticised for in recent seasons.
He told Sky Sports: "It’s been an amazing turnaround considering where they were at the start of the season, and now they’re probably favourites to finish in the top four."
"We’ve always questioned whether there’s a bit of softness to them but they’re in a good moment and they’ve always had that quality.
"Against Wolves they found a way to win the football match, they kept going and grabbed a late goal, that’s the key to success, you can have your off days but you find a way to win and it was a huge three points for them."
