Today, Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla celebrates his 32nd birthday - many happy returns Santi, from us at Football FanCast.

The Spanish international has become a fan favourite at the Emirates Stadium following his move from Malaga in 2012, going on to dazzle, excite and enthral us with his supreme technique and ambi-pedal ability.

Injuries have limited his participation over the last few seasons, managing just 23 Premier League outings since the start of 2015/16 and only seven starts so far this term.

But goals against big teams, in big moments and on the biggest stage have ensured Cazorla's cult hero status in Gunners folklore, so what better way to celebrate the attacking midfielder's big day than a look back at his five greatest ever strikes for the north London outfit?

Which goal is your favourite? Have we somehow missed a Cazorla classic? Let us know in the comments section below!

Manchester United - 2012

In November 2012, criticism that fell upon Arsene Wenger was amongst the most intense the Frenchman has suffered during his tenure in North London. Defeat to Manchester United infuriated the supporters like never before as Robin Van Persie scored against his former club.

The one shining light during the contest was the performance of Santi Cazorla, although his goal at Old Trafford prove little more than a consolation.

His great footwork and incredible finish started the love affair between him and the Gunners supporters.

West Ham United - 2012

Very similar to his goal at Old Trafford, Cazorla showed nimble footwork and creativity to find space between the Hammers' midfield and defence.

His powerful shot found it's way past Jussi Jääskeläinen in the West Ham goal to send the Gunners supporters into raptures.

Cazorla's bond with the Arsenal supporters only increased further following this strike at Upton Park.

Tottenham Hotspur - 2014

There's nothing more satisfying for an Arsenal fan than overcoming Tottenham in any competition.

In January 2014, the duo were drawn against each other in the third round of the F.A. Cup, but Arsenal had home advantage over their bitter rivals.

Much to the joy of the Arsenal supporters, Cazorla opened the scoring with a trademark strike. It wouldn't be the last contribution the Spaniard had on the Gunners' cup campaign.

Hull City - 2014

It's arguably the most important goal Cazorla has scored in an Arsenal shirt, and potentially his best.

His stunning free-kick against Hull in the 2014 F.A. Cup final gave the Gunners the opportunity to break Hull's 2-0 lead.

Arsenal went on to win the final at Wembley in extra time and end their nine-year wait for a major trophy.

Everton - 2015

If ever there was a goal to sum up the ability of Santi Cazorla, it would be his strike in the Barclays Asia Trophy Final against Everton in 2015.

It may not have been the most spectacular of strikes or the most flamorous of occasions but Cazorla's nimble movement and almost ballet-like dribbling on the edge of the box was beyond mesmeric.

To the joy of Arsenal supporters, Cazorla fired a low firing shot to add to Arsenal's advantage.
