IF YOU FIND that a spectacular goal or two can bring a bit of warmth to a cold afternoon in February, it might be time to start watching more third-tier football from France.
At the weekend, AS Lyon Duchère and Entente SSG played out a 2-2 draw in the Championnat de France National, which is the next step on the French football ladder below Ligue 1 and Ligue 2.
Two of the goals scored in the game were particularly special and, thankfully, The Guardian managed to get their hands on the footage.
Take a bow, William Sea and Matthieu Ezekian.
Sea produced a sublime bit of technique for Entente with an overhead kick on the half-hour mark which cancelled out Farez Brahmia’s 22nd-minute opener for the hosts.
In the final seconds of the game, Entente were 2-1 up after Hamidou Ba put them ahead in the 74th minute. But with four minutes of additional time played, Ezikian connected with a corner on the volley and everyone associated with Lyon Duchère went suitably ballistic.
