Among the five goals scored at the University of Bolton Stadium last night, it was Luiz's incredible if not outrageous goal which gained traction.

The Brazilian, who has been on the fringes since the start of the campaign, was handed his first start in the Carabao Cup game against the League One side.

And the former Man City midfielder repaid the confidence reposed in him by underfire manager Steven Gerrard with his 'Puskas award' worthy goal.

In a video posted on Twitter, seen by Sports Brief, Luiz pulled parity for Villa in spectacular style as his corner from the left flew over Bolton goalkeeper Joel Dixon and into the net.

Separate footage shows Luiz had actually rehearsed his goal against Bolton at training prior to the fixture.
