Diaz is seen gaining control of the ball near the halfway line following which he runs amock. The young footballer dribbled past five defenders, beat the goalkeeper and faked past another defender to score a goal for his side.

The strike, which fans on social media called 'Maradonian', was not decisive though as the visitors went on to lose 3-2 to the hosts Santander.
