Joel Yakubu Tears the Defence Apart! 🔥 ⚽️🇳🇬
Joel Yakubu (2006) • Right Winger
About this Short
Joel Yakubu receives a forward pass with his back to goal and a defender tight behind him. Using his low centre of gravity superbly, he shrugs off the first challenge and then, with pressure coming from both sides, suddenly cuts sharply inside with his left foot and bursts between the defenders.
Still under heavy contact, he keeps his balance and control before producing a second quick change of direction, this time with the outside of his left foot. He slips through once more and, without breaking stride, finishes calmly left-footed into the bottom-right corner.
At just 169 cm, it is a brilliant display of strength, balance, close control and explosive change of direction under pressure.
