Striker nails outrageous back-heel goal

Striker nails outrageous back-heel goal

Everyone loves the subtle skill of a back-heel on the football paddock, be it for a through ball or goal.

But Perugia striker Francesco Nicastro has lifted the bar for everyone.

There is not other way to say it other than this is an absolute peach of a goal.

In his team’s Serie B clash against Ternana, Nicastro got airborne and while spinning with his back to goal managed to time it off the heel perfectly.

It flew past the keeper, who was rooted to the spot unable to do anything about it.

And Nicastro went suitably wild.
