While nutmegs are great to watch, a goalkeeper attempting one can have serious consequences if it goes all wrong. Christoffer Källqvist showed outstanding composure to take a back-pass and put the ball through the legs of the onrushing striker.

The BK Häcken net-minder was clearly pleased with himself afterwards, with his opponent graciously high-fiving him for his piece of skill.

Even Zlatan himself would have to acknowledge the balls shown by Ekenberg, metaphorically speaking of course, when the easy option was just to punt the ball downfield.
