There were also a handful of solid bicycle kicks in this month's selections, but this one stands out for its distance and placement. Sigurdsson drops deep to receive his teammate's cross, and takes his time to set up the perfect bicycle kick from outside the box. He then sends the ball neatly into the corner of the net and out of the goalkeeper's reach.

It was hard to choose the best skill move-based goal this month, as many of the final selections featured jaw-dropping technique. But Nani's effort was probably the finest, thanks to the variety of moves he uses to fluidly beat three defenders en route to a one-on-three showdown in front of goal. The finish looked simple, but his ability to squeak it in between the goalkeeper and a defender makes this all the more notable.
For the most part, a goal itself is the impressive part of a highlight-reel. Other times, an assist takes center stage. But rarely are the assist and goal equally spectacular. Here, Mkhitaryan starts with a deft touch to loop the ball over his head and force the defender to miss his tackle and open up space. The midfielder could have brought the ball to the ground and played from there, but he chose to let it bounce so that he could tap it high again and make yet another defender blaze past him and miss the tackle. That ball then falls for Lukaku, who volleys it with his first touch, curling it into the top corner from way outside the box.

Ronaldo displays another perfect use of FIFA 18's signature skill as he dribbles to the edge of the box and puts his back to the defender, who thinks he's in control of the situation. The Portuguese superstar effortlessly utilizes El Tornado to set himself up and separate from the defender's press, before launching a slick volley into the top right corner away from the goalkeeper's reach.
