Brazilian winger Fernandinho showed all the flair and dynamism we’ve become accustomed to with South Americans after scoring a brilliant solo goal for Chongqing Lifan on Saturday.

The goal came just after the break for Jordi Cruyff’s side and was enough to claim all three points against a poor Tianjin Teda side.

The 26-year-old wide man latched onto a loose ball on the half way line before twisting and turning his way through a horde of bodies and rounding the keeper to tap home, reminicent of Maradona’s 'Goal of the Century' against England at the 1986 World Cup.
