Souleymane Doukara scored a stunning goal for Leeds United last night. Here’s a look at it from the stands.
Leeds United’s Souleymane Doukara scored a superb volley last night to seal the team’s win over Nottingham Forest.
The striker had just come on as a second half substitute when he rifled home a corner which had been cleared to him on the edge of the box.
Souleymane Doukara celebrates Leeds United’s second goal
It was a special moment for the 25-year-old, who is in his third season at Elland Road.
The goal had shades of ex-Leeds striker Tony Yeboah’s memorable efforts, and while it did not rattle the crossbar on it’s way in, it was struck just as ferociously.
The video above shows the goal as seen side on from the crowd at Elland Road, an angle the television cameras could not provide, and another view of the spectacular goal can be seen here.
Doukara had been dropped for the fixture after a disappointing display against Barnsley at the weekend, and his goal showed just what an unpredictable player he can be.
18 months it had seemed as though he could be on his way out of the club, but he has battled back and established himself as a valuable squad player. Last night was his best moment in a Leeds shirt yet, and could inspire more.
