PSV star Johan Bakoyoko was left in speechless after his team-mate Sergino Dest produced a stunning nutmeg against Arsenal.
Both sides ensured their respective places within the Champions League knockout rounds after playing out a 1-1 draw on Tuesday night.
Eddie Nketiah opened the scoring for the Gunners in the first-half before Yorbe Vertessen found an equaliser for the hosts shortly after the break.
However, one of the most notable incidents in the match came in the dying moments when PSV’s Dest produced a sensational bit of skill.
The Barcelona loanee did a ‘flip flap’ nutmeg on his Polish counterpart, as he silkily slid the ball in-between the legs of the Gunners defender.

The incredible skill was enough to send the PSV bench into mayhem – with young star Bakayoko leading the hilarious reactions.
The 20-year-old – who played 74 minutes of the match – looked stunned as his jaw dropped and he grabbed onto his team-mate on the bench.
Some of the other substitutes also looked on in awe, with one player putting his hands behind his head after the outrageous bit of skill.
After the game, Mikel Arteta revealed that he is willing to use Declan Rice in defence as an ’emergency’.
Rice has been one of the signings of the season in the Premier League after joining the Gunners for £105million from West Ham.
‘We are very short at the back and I really wanted to try if something happens, how we’re going to resolve that situation,’ he said. ‘I thought he was really good.
‘He has played there before. We have to try as if we have an emergency we have to understand and to be sure that we can fill that gap in the right way.
‘He has a lot of composure on the ball, he wins a lot of duels for a player of his size and he has done it in the past. He is a good option.’
Rice played half an hour at centre back for Arsenal against PSV, coming on as a substitute for William Saliba with the group already won before the game.
