#1 Van Persie\'s flying header against spain

Almost every time an attacker dives, it is to authenticate his penalty claim, but the Manchester United man had another reason, which made him an overnight hero.

The Dutch superstar perfectly headed home the cross from the left wing back, Daley Blind as Casillas stood motionless, watching the ball gracefully sail into the net. It was the beginning of a dream start for his team in the World Cup campaign after falling behind against Spain early on.

They went on to dismantle the defending champions by a margin of four goals. This humiliating 5-1 defeat was the beginning of the 'end of a golden era' as La Roja went on to lose against Chile, marking their World Cup exit in the group stages itself.

This stunning goal has reserved him a place in the pages of history. No wonder he is the 'flying Dutchman'.
