Xherdan Shaqiri once again displayed his impressive talent, netting a backheel to leave the opposition goalkeeper stranded.

The Swiss sensation, who scored a World Cup hat-trick against Honduras, netted twice in a 4-0 rout of Lithuania.

Shaqiri’s Switzerland are in England’s Euro 2016 qualifying group, but the victory only takes them up third, six points behind the runaway Three Lions.

The 22-year-old also scored a header from close range, following up an own goal and a strike from defender Fabian Schar.

Shaqiri has made no secret of his openness to consider offers away from Bayern Munich, after failing to hold down a regular starting spot in the side.

The Metro reported this week that Tottenham Hotspur were ready to make a £20 million offer for the midfielder, who has previously been strongly linked with Liverpool.

The versatile midfielder would be a real asset to Spurs, but his arrival would signal the need to have a clearout of several fringe players who already struggle for first team football.
