Granit Xhaka scored a fantastic goal in Bayer Leverkusen’s match against Mainz.

On the back of the in-form Alex Grimaldo’s deflected cross, the former Arsenal midfielder found the back of the net with ease from an effortless volley.

The Swiss international has enjoyed a spectacular season at the top of the Bundesliga under Xabi Alonso’s brilliant side.

The number 34 celebrated in style, pretending to injure his hamstring, which alarmed Alonso, who had begun to prepare the medics on the sidelines.

Much to Alonso’s amusement, he soon realized it was a joke as part of Xhaka’s celebration, telling his medical team to stand down.
