Hernandez collected the ball from his goalkeeper Mike Maignan’s roll out just before the half-hour mark in today’s Serie A clash.
The pink-haired Frenchman then burst into a marauding run, sprinting past Sergej Milinkovic-Savic with ease.
He then motored into the Lazio half and raced towards the goal, drifting infield.
After steadying himself in space, Hernandez picked his spot and let fly with his left foot into the top corner from 25 yards out, giving Ivan Provedel no chance in the Lazio goal before performing a celebratory dance.
The finish put AC 2-0 up at the San Siro, with Ismael Bennacer opening the scoring on 17 minutes.
And that is how it finished in a major boost to the Rossoneri took a big step towards Champions League qualification.
Supporters watching on from home were in awe of the wondergoal from Hernandez – which was very similar to his superb effort against Atalanta last year.
One said: “Theo Hernandez is insane, what a goal. Best left-back in the world.”
