The story

Football fans were treated to some remarkable goals in both European and African cup competitions over the weekend. 

Orlando Pirates' Thalente Mbatha once again proved why he's only scores screamers after another long-distance strike in the Buccaneers' CAF Champions League win over CR Belouizdad.

Mbatha's effort proved to be the winner as the Soweto giants overcame their Algerian opponents, 2-1 on Sunday, going on to qualify for the quarter-finals of Africa's premier club football competition.

FC Barcelona put on a dominant display by dispatching rivals Real Madrid 5-2 in an action-packed Spanish Super Cup Clasico final in Saudi Arabia on Sunday evening.

Goals from Barca captain Raphinha, teenage sensation Lamine Yamal, talented full-back Alejandro Balde and veteran striker Robert Lewandowski was enough to see off a hapless Los Blancos.

Kylian Mbappe's opener and Rodrigo Goes' consolation strikes were among the standout goals on the evening, up there with Balde, Yamal and Raphinha's goals.

Ruben Amorim's Manchester United outfit progressed to the fourth round of the FA Cup on Sunday, seeing out Arsenal 5-3 on penalties after playing out a 1-1 draw in normal time at the Emirates Stadium.

Mikel Arteta's Gunners were unable to make the most of a man advantage for over an hour, following Diogo Dalot's sending early in the second half.

Bruno Fernandes fired United in front with a glorious curler in the 52nd minute, a stunner of a goal that was thwarted by Dalot's receiving his marching orders and Gabriel Magalhaes' equaliser.
