Nigerian star Austin Amutu was outstanding in the Egyptian Premier League after scoring a spectacular goal for El Masry in their 3-2 defeat to Zamalek.

The 28-year-old forward gave the fans something to cheer for despite losing the game after scoring a bicycle kick considered to be better than that of Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale.

Amutu was already waiting in the 18-yard box when Karim El Eraki delivered a cross in the direction of the Nigerian who waited for no one before making the move and eventually scored.

Emeka Christiano Eze gave the guests the lead just after minutes of action but his goal was cancelled out by Mohamed Abdel Ghani's 29th-minute effort.

Achraf Bencharki handed the home team the lead for the first time on the hour mark while a spot-kick from Ahmed Sayed in the 90 plus eight minutes sealed the victory for Zamalek who are log leaders with 54 points after 24 rounds of top-flight games this campaign.

The former Warri Wolves star became the talking point after the game with his fantastic goal.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Nigerian star Kelechi Iheanacho has continued to rack up recognitions and awards after an impressive 2020-21 season.

The 24-year-old Super Eagles forward helped Leicester City clinch the Europa League spot after narrowly missing out on the Champions League qualification on the last day of the league.

He scored 12 goals and two assists after 25 English topflight appearances for the Foxes in the recently concluded season.
