Santi Cazorla rolls back the years to recreate Arsenal trick with moment of genius

Santi Cazorla may be in the twilight of his career, but he showed there is still some of the old magic in his game.

The 37-year-old is now plying his trade in Saudi Arabia, having earned a cult following during his time with Arsenal and Villarreal.
