Pictures: Manchester United's Nani and the Top 10 acrobatic goal celebrations

Nani did it again on Saturday against West Brom - no, not scoring for Manchester United but throwing himself into a gravity-defying hands free cartwheel.

The Daily Mirror's Bradley Ormesher captured this spectacular sequence of the winger in action...

And this shot of Nani's more usual cartwheel twisting backflip last season helped win him the Sports Photographer of the Year award.

But are the Portuguese rising star's acrobatics the best in the business? Here are a few other contenders for football's gymnastics gold medal.

1) Robbie Keane delighted Liverpool fans with his first goal in a Reds shirt - then with his cartwheel forward roll finger shooting celebration.

2) Team mate Ryan Babel has been known to get some air in his time too - these are Bolton backflips.

3) Robert Earnshaw prefers a somersault. Nottingham Forest will be hoping the Wales striker gets the chance to show it off again soon - stuck at the bottom of the Championship they are badly in need of some goals.

4) Another man currently lying on the treatment table rather than flying through the air is Sunderland's Kenwyne Jones who stunned Manchester United in the FA Cup in January 2007, first by scoring against them, then by going flipping crazy. Team mate Grzegorz Rasiak looks fairly impressed too.

5) Reading centre half Andre Bikey is a surprising acrobat - although it is always pretty surprising when he scores a goal, let alone celebrates.

6) Fulham brought in Zoltan Gera from West Brom in the summer - and as well as his football trickery, they landed his acrobatics. Provided he scores of course...

7) This picture may bring a tear to the eye of Newcastle fans as they think back to the good old days of the 1990s - Toon were riding high playing fantasy football with Kevin Keegan in the dugout and Tino Asprilla celebrating some fantastic goals with some fantastic acrobatics.

8) The Magpies do still have a current goalscoring acrobat in Obafemi Martins - and they will be hoping to see a bit more of his celebrations in the weeks to come. Or in fact to see a bit more of him since he had only made two league appearances before last night's game against Manchester City.

9) Lomana Lualua, formerly of Newcastle and Portsmouth, goes for the spectacular backflip option (the more the better) - a celebration also favoured by ex Wigan player Julius Agahowa though sadly never seen in the Premier League before he was moved on to Turkey.

10) A late (and somewhat dubious) entry is Steven Gerrard against Belarus, turning his knee slide into some kind of improvised shoulder roll after he discovered the pitch was somewhat lumpy. Still more impressive than Alan Shearer's taxi-flagging celebration.
