It was certainly noticed on Twitter that there were some similarities between this goal and the one when Karius gifted the opener to Karim Benzema in the Champions League final vs Real Madrid:

It would be fascinating to watch him try and explain this one to his teammates afterwards, it’s impossible to figure out what he saw and why he thought that was a good throw to make.
