Merson in awe of wonder goal from Arsenal star Ramsey

Former Arsenal star Paul Merson was stunned by Aaron Ramsey's wonder goal against Galatasaray last night.

As the Turkish defenders headed an Arsenal corner clear in the first half, the Welshman ran to hit the ball, with his left foot on the half-volley.

"I've never seen anything like it in all my years. It was phenomenal," enthused Merson.

Manager Arsene Wenger revealed he was unimpressed when he saw the midfielder taking aim, but was impressed with the end result.

"When he took the shot I thought that's maybe not the best of ideas," he told Sky Sports. "But the way it went in was absolutely unbelievable."
