Pogba does his best Zizou impression with brilliantly-taken volley

The young Juventus midfielder will be doing well if he can achieve half the success his fellow Frenchman did.

PAUL POGBA OPENED the scoring for champions and current Serie A leaders Juventus, as they beat Rafa Benitez’s Napoli earlier tonight.

The 21-year-old midfielder showed terrific technique to volley a half-clearance beyond goalkeeper Rafael after 29 minutes.

Napoli did equalise through Miguel Britos after 64 minutes before Martin Caceres and Arturo Vidal ensured the three points went the way of Max Allegri’s side.

And while we will be the first to admit that Pogba’s goal doesn’t come near Zinedine Zidane’s winner for Real Madrid against Bayer Leverkusen in the 2002 Champions League final, it is slightly reminiscent of the former France and Juve magician’s strike.
