Claudio Riano tries to one-up Wayne Rooney in the golazo department

Wayne Rooney's overhead goal to beat Man City has already been declared the goal of the season by many hyperbole-happy Premier League fans, but Claudio Riano and the Argentine third division would like to remind you that the season isn't over yet.

In a match between Tallares Cordoba and Alumni on Monday night, Riano managed to control a cross into the box and juggle the ball a few times before launching an overhead kick out of the goalkeeper's reach and off the crossbar to score a spectacular goal. That made it a 1-1 game and Riano's Tallares would go on to win 3-2.

So is it better than Wayne's overhead volley right off the cross? It really doesn't matter. Just enjoy the artistry of them both. Unless you're a Man City or Alumni fan.
