Philippe Mexes Bicycle Goal vs Anderlecht

Philippe Mexes scored a sensational overhead kick as AC Milan advanced into the knockout stage of the Champions League with a 3-1 win over Anderlecht in Belgium. Stephan El Shaarawy scored a wonderful goal himself just minutes into the second half before Bram Nuytinck was shown a straight red card for a professional foul on Alexandre Pato.

Mexes then produced a wonderful acrobatic effort, similar to that of Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s fourth goal against England last week, to double his side’s lead. This stunning Philippe Mexes goal vs Anderlecht ( VIDEO BELOW) reminded one and all of Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s incredible goal for Sweden against England. Mexes, like Ibra, scored a spectacular long range overhead kick, but while the Swede is a striker, Mexes is a centre back by profession, making the goal even more remarkable.
