Two players for Wythenshawe's two non-league football teams scored incredible long-range goals on the same day. In remarkably similar strikes just minutes apart, Wythenshawe Town's Jordan Burton and Wythenshawe Amateurs' Arron Hevingham both lobbed the goalkeepers from just inside their own half on the first day of the new season.
Burton's came in his side's 3-1 away win at Irlam at FC in the North West Counties League Premier Division on Saturday. The full-back, who came on as a substitute, hit a beautiful half-volley that began outside the post before curling in.
On footage of the strike, shared on the club's social media, a teammate can be heard shouting ''Oh my woooooord" as it flies over the goalkeeper's head and into the net, sparking wild celebrations.

Afterwards, his manager James Kinsey said: "When the ball sits to him, I'm not just saying this, out of anybody in the team, you want it falling to Jordan Burton because his technique and his control is unbelievable.
"Goal of the season on day one. Absolutely unbelievable, he's caught it perfect. Made up for him."
Fans and fellow players also showered him with praise on social media. "Some technique on that", Ryan Johno said on Twitter. "Goal of the season in first game., awesome finish," John Sandiford said.
"Foot like a traction engine!" said Rob Beal - a nod to Alan Partridge's now legendary comedy football commentary.
Greg Hall said: "Take a bow young man!! #tekkers." Mackenzie Smallman said it was "incredible" with Danny Duncan adding it was a "sublime goal." Burton himself replied to the club's vide post with a blue love heart emoji.
Amazingly, an equally spectacular goal was scored back in Wythenshawe for Wythenshawe Amateurs, known as the Ammies, who play one division below Town in the North West Counties League Division One South.
He capped off a man of the match performance in their win over Alsager Town with the strike, which came after winning a scramble in the middle of the pitch and spotting the keeper marginally off his goal line before lobbing him to make it 4-0.
"The 4th goal from yesterday and what a goal…contender for goal of the season" the club said on Twitter. "Great goal", Paul Brooks said
