2) Splendid goal against Sporting Gijon, 3rd December 2011
It was the time when Jose Mourinho picked out di Maria as his starter over Ozil and Kaka, and he lived up to the expectations.
In the match against Gijon, di Maria set up Ronaldo before scoring his own marvelous goal from an almost impossible angle. It was typical di Maria, constantly troubling the defence with his pace and dribbling skills. He got close to scoring twice, but Juan Pablo managed to sabotage the opportunity.
