VIDEO: Thomas Muller sets up Mario Gotze's goal with brilliant flick

Reuters

Newly-promoted SC Paderborn came into today's match against Bayern Munich as the feel-good story of the Bundesliga, sitting atop the table after the opening four matches.

Thomas Muller needed just eight minutes to crush that spirit, setting up Mario Gotze with a deft little flick that completely bamboozled the Paderborn defense.

GOAL! 1-0 Bayern. Götze.

Muller is thought of by many as a somewhat mechanical player who is clinical in front of goal but not among the most technically brilliant members of his team.

Those sentiments are well off the mark.
