Juan Mata rolled back the years with two sensational finishes - including a 40-yard stunner - for A-League side Melbourne Victory. The former Chelsea and Manchester United man, 37, is enjoying something of a renaissance in Australia having won the top flight's Player of the Month for January. However, he fell out of favour under Jose Mourinho and moved to Man United in January 2014. Mata made 285 appearances for United, scoring 51 times and assisting 44 goals for his team-mates. The Spaniard won the 2012 European Championships with his nation, and last played for the country in 2016.
