African youths with unbridled talen cut a picture of sheer enthusiasm while celebrating a goal during a street-style soccer match in the hood.

The unique display on dusty turf unexpectedly climaxed with one of the players being turned into a skipping rope.

"I have no idea what I just watched, but that might be the best goal celebration of all time."

After seeing the theatrics on display, it would be remiss not to agree it was the best goal celebration in the history of goal celebrations.

The 57-second clip starts with a large group of children playing soccer. But it quickly becomes apparent that this was no ordinary game.

One player is seen mock-deceiving three players and getting to the goalmouth, where he also pretends to gear up to kick the ball twice — sending the goalie diving both ways — before cocking the gun and firing the third time.

That sparked the euphoric celebrations, with the two biggest boys taking the smallest one by the hands and feet and lifting him into the air.

They then began swinging him like a skipping rope, and in succession, three of them jumped over and below him 18 times between them.

The routine ends with the young boy thrown backwards to a group waiting in the wings behind them - perhaps the best part!

He twists in the air two-and-a-half times, landing safely in their arms. They all break into a funky dance afterwards, concluding the colourful circus.
