Never one for the mundane, Paul Pogba collected a long ball with a cushioned backheel and ripped a shot off the bar — so very nearly a goal-of-the-season contender. [Source: Gfycat]

On his Roma debut, Stephan El Shaarawy pulled off an audacious backheel flick to help his new side top Frosinone 3–1. [Source: Streamable]

Keep an eye on Mainz goalkeeper Loris Karius, whose hell-bent dash across the goalmouth denied Raffael’s point-blank attempt. It was a crucial stop — Mainz went on to win 1–0. [Source: Streamable]
