There was everything in this goal: lightning speed, excellent skill, and even a little bit of luck before the ball hit the back of the net.

The story begins on the touchline, with some superb play from Allan Saint-Maximin. Skill that was as beautiful as it was effective, given that it allowed the winger to take 3 opponents out of the game under the watchful eye of Lucien Favre.

In one touch, Wylan Cyprien then Mika Seri made their contributions to the goal. Before Mario Balotelli found “Saint-Maximus” with an excellent pass with the outside of his right foot.

Damien Da Silva, who could only slow the ball down with his heel, was then terrorized by a devastating touch from Saint-Maximin. Your Young Player of the Season took it upon himself to finish the job, under the bar before dancing in front of the Sud.

This masterpiece, scored during the last home game of the season against Caen, is your favourite goal of all of the 72 scored by the Gym during the 2017-18 season. It beat Super Mario Balotelli‘s goals against Rennes (0-1 win) and Marseille (1-2 defeat).
