    Amazing backheel goal – fluke or flair?

    You may need a couple of looks to appreciate the genius of this goal from Baku's Shahriyar Aliyev.

    Baku trailed 2-1 at city rivals Inter Baku in an Azerbaijan Cup match when a free-kick was swung into the box.

    Aliyev appeared to have overrun the ball, but produced an incredible flick to loop the ball over the keeper and into the net.

    Did he mean it? We're going to be charitable and say yes, even if the placement was a little fortunate. But as the cliche goes: "If Messi had scored that, we'd never hear the end of it."

    The match finished 2-2, making the tie 3-3 on aggregate - Aliyev's piece of inspiration took his side through on away goals.
