The commentator, 'El Bambino' Pons, is renown for his unique style of describing football matches, with an eccentric demeanour that always leaves fans on social media in stitches.

The Magpies took the lead through Alexander Isak, who expertly cut inside Jarrad Branthwaite before slotting past Jordan Pickford, per the BBC.
It almost looked like Eddie Howe’s side would walk away with the victory, but Everton were offered a way back into the game late on as referee, Tony Harrington, gave Everton a penalty late on as Paul Dummett was adjudged to have wrestled veteran, Ashley Young, in the box.
Calvert-Lewin stepped up and slotted home, earning Everton a crucial point with his first goal in 22 games.
The England international’s goal seemed to have thrilled ESPN commentator, Pons, who spoke a long goal chant before breaking into song.
According to Goodison News, the song was an Italian folk tune called Bella Ciao, which was specially edited by the commentator to incorporate Calevrt-Lewin’s name.

Pons’ hilarious commentary was an instant hit on social media, as fans joked that Calvert-Lewin had finally found a chant specially made for him.
Calvert-Lewin will be hoping his goal-jinx is finally broken since prior to his strike against Newcastle, he had gone more than 1,300 minutes without finding the back of the net.
Sean Dyche will likely rely on him for goals in Everton’s next Premier League game, which is against Burnley at Goodison Park on Saturday, April 6.
