It was in the 19th minute that winger Taarabt, who now plays for Benfica, dragged the ball back away from and past a flummoxed Aubameyang – who has vowed to change the image fans have of him after his Gabon exile.
And fans of the former Prem star were loving the moment of magic – despite Morocco going on to lose 3-2.
One said: “Taarabt just sent Aubameyang back to London.”
Another wrote: “Aubameyang is finished.”
One comment read: “Saucy, what a baller.”
A fellow user posted: “Don’t worry about it @Aubameyang7 it happens to everyone.”
Some picked up on an important distinction, though.
Taarabt’s showboating is not actually a nutmeg.
One eagle-eyed viewer said: “Missed the nutmeg but burned him nonetheless.”

Another posted: “I so wish that was a nutmeg.”
Aubameyang – who did not score in the friendly – will have some time to recover from the humiliation, at least.
Unai Emery’s side are not back in action until Monday, when they travel to Sheffield United.
