Inigo Calderon delighted his legions of fans at the Amex tonight - by scoring with his beard.
The popular Basque followed up a drive by Beram Kayal which came back off the keeper as Albion beat Leeds.
The ball smacked into Calderon's face and hit him on the right cheek - well protected as ever by those trademark thick whiskers - before flying into the net.
That bizarre finish rewarded Calderon's desire to get into the goalmouth and gave the Seagulls their killer second in a convincing 2-0 success.
He saw the funny side as he ran to the North Stand slapping that side of his face, then shared the joke with team mates after his third goal in front of the North Stand in four days.
Calderon later tweeted: "Yes, it counts anyway!! Lol"
