Zlatan Ibrahimovic Scores a Sensational Acrobatic Volley to Secure a 2-1 Win for Turkish Side
- 6 months ago
On loan Southampton striker Paul Onuachu channeled his inner Zlatan Ibrahimovic to score a sensational acrobatic winner for Trabzonspor in their league clash with Konyaspor on Friday.
Onuachu joined Trabzonspor in September after failing to register a goal or assist for the Saints.
The six-foot-six inch striker was signed from Belgian side Genk for £18m by former Saints boss Nathan Jones but failed to make an impact on the south coast.
With current Southampton boss Russell Martin signing Ross Stewart from Sunderland and retaining the services of Che Adams, Onuachu was permitted to leave the club.
Since then Onuachu has thrived scoring six goals in eight games, and he struck twice in Trabzonspor's 2-1 win over Konyaspor, including an incredible winning effort.
The Nigerian striker opened the scoring for Trabzonspor but it was his second goal that stole the show.
The ball was crossed into Onuachu in the middle of the area, and the striker managed to pull his leg up to chest height and backheel an astonishing volley past goalkeeper Paul Bernardoni.
Onuachu wheeled away in celebration and delivered a brilliant backflipping celebration after the wonder goal.
Comparisons can be drawn with a couple of remarkable goals that Ibrahimovic netted in his remarkable career.
The Swedish forward looped a spectacular backheel volley past Italy's Gianluigi Buffon while playing for his country at Euro 2004.
He also scored a brilliant flicked volley in PSG's 4-0 win against Bastia in the 2013-14 season.
