Bayern Munich's Brazilian star Douglas Costa decided to turn on the skills this week in training, as he lashed home a top corner effort from the penalty spot... using his heel.
The winger uploaded a video to his personal Instagram account showing his sublime effort which left substitute goalkeeper Tom Starke helpless.
Known for his adventurous trickery and jaw-dropping skill, Costa had clearly pulled off the feat before as he picked out the top corner with expert precision.
Costa has only featured twice for Bayern so far this season, as the Bavarian giants have made an unbeaten start to their Bundesliga season.
The Brazil international is finding it difficult to establish a starting position in manager Carlo Ancelotti's match day squad as a result of the wealth of talent Bayern have at their disposal.

French duo Franck Ribery and Kingsley Coman currently occupy the wide positions in the Bayern starting XI, while striker Robert Lewandowski leads the line centrally.
The skilful Brazilian has also suffered from a series of injuries since his arrival in Germany, halting his progression with the Bavarian side.

Costa signed for Bayern in a deal worth £21million from Ukrainian outfit Shakhtar Donetsk in July 2015.
Since then, Costa has made 29 appearances in the red shirt of Bayern, scoring on four occasions for the club.
Costa's most recent appearance for the German side came in last weekend's 3-1 victory over FC Ingolstadt 04.
The winger came on as a half-time substitute for Frenchman Coman, but saw his evening cut short after pulling his right thigh muscle and was himself replaced on the 83rd minute by Jerome Boateng.
