AFTER ZLATAN IBRAHIMOVIC’S astonishing goal against England was followed by this equally incredible effort by AC Milan defender Phillippe Mexes, we thought we’d bring you seven more out-of-this-world overhead kicks. Enjoy.

Any other memorable overheads we’ve left out?
Thought i knew which Van Basten goal it was going to be. Early days of the Champions league Vs Goteburg he scored all 4 goals for AC past crazy Thomas Ravelli, the last being a great overhead from the edge of the area. Remember Serie A used to be exciting!
Mauro Bressan’s effort is the only one to match the sheer audacity of Zlatan’s, though Mexes did a good job during the week.
