Scorpion kick? Diving back-heel? No idea.

Let's imagine for a moment that you're already up 2-0 against one of the big clubs in your elite league. Let's also imagine that you scored those two goals, so you're on a hat trick. What do you do when a player serves you a brilliant cross as you race towards goal?

1. Casually slot it home. (ho hum)
2. Score on a diving header. (yawn)
3. Dive under the ball and kick it in with your back heel / leg. Enh, I guess that'll work. 

Lost in this is the excellence of the two passes that lead to the goal. The two touches before the goal make this possible, and they were superb.
