Espanyol B striker scores with a tremendous backheel over his own head

During a match against Montanesa in the Spanish fourth division, 24-year-old Espanyol B striker Bubacar Njie Kamba (known as Bacari) pulled off a beautiful variation of the backheel you don't often see.

Bacari made the most of a pass that came in behind him as he made his run into the box by flicking his leg up behind him and getting off a shot that floated over his head, over the outstretched keeper and landed gently in the goal. Whether it was luck, skill or some combination of both, Bacari deserves all the credit for getting such a reflexive behind-the-back shot to take such a perfect trajectory. And judging by his celebration it seems like he knew he would pull it off.

Bacari has made one appearance for Espanyol's first team this season, but after this, they might give him another chance.
