Video: Put a sock in it – a back-heeled goal from the Austrian league, minus a boot

Thierry Fidjeu put the boot into the opposition at the weekend with a classy finish, with his own boot in his hands.

Thierry Fidjeu put the boot into the opposition at the weekend with a classy finish, with his own boot in his hands.

Last Friday night in the Austrian second division, St. Polten eased to a 5-2 win over Horn – no need for the sniggering – but the visitors took an unlikely lead in the fifth minute.

Cameroon born Fidjeu lost his boot in a challenge, but rather than put it back on, the striker realised that a goal-scoring opportunity could present itself and made his way into the box with the shoe in his hand.

His senses proved correct as he met a cross with a back-heel, all the while with his boot in his grasp.

You might say the shoe was on the other foot.
