Abeg make we hear word

NO PLAYER HAS EVER SCORED THIS KIND OF GOAL IN EPL

I bet u havent seen Thiery Henry Goal against Manchester United over 10 years ago

What about Didier Drogba against Everton (Joseph Yobo was the defender that was marking him) almost the same season with Henry

superb performance.

My God!

See goose pimples all over my body! This is the baddest stuff I've seen in football in a long time!

Had to watch it three times to be sure I'm really seeing what I'm seeing. You don't get this even in Europe!
