5. Mesut Ozil (Arsenal) vs. Dinamo Zagreb
Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil, as has been the case all season, stole the show for the Gunners on Tuesday night, helping the club keep its Champions League hopes alive with a comfortable win over Dinamo Zagreb. On this night, it was the Chilean who turned provider, as Ozil, the Premier League's assist maestro, finished off a slick move with a perfect header - with some help from an intelligent run by Olivier Giroud to pull the defender out of the way.
4. Danijel Milicevic (KAA Gent) vs. Lyon
This goal, the opener in Gent's stunning 2-1 victory over Lyon, is noteworthy as much for the finish as it is for the unusual free-kick routine. Straight from the training ground.
3. Fabian Johnson (Monchengladbach) vs. Sevilla
Bend it like ... um, Fabian Johnson?
2. Luis Suarez (Barcelona) vs. Roma
Anybody interested in learning the technique required to execute a perfect volley needn't look anywhere else, as Luis Suarez's goal in Tuesday's 6-1 thrashing of Roma was about as textbook as it gets.
