This is the “insane” finish which thrilled Albion fans.
Former Benfica starlet Jeremy Sarmiento produced this stunning strike for the under-23s as they beat Leicester 2-1.
He controlled a pinpoint pass from James Furlong with his right foot and, without breaking stride, instantly whipped home a half volley on the left.
Albion went on to win the game deep in added time through Andy Moran.
Industrious target man Lorent Tolaj was involved in both goals.
Sarmiento, 19, dazzled for the first 20 minutes or so at Walsall in the recent Papa John’s Trophy game before going quiet.
He also produced some highlight moments in the senior side’s 2-0 win over Swansea City in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

The fact he was taken off at half-time last night will heighten expectation he could be involved in the matchday 20 as Albion take on Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Monday.
Jurgen Locadia played the first hour for the 23s, sending a couple of efforts off target, as he builds his match fitness.
