Dimitri Payet goal vs PAOK - Deserves the award PUSKAS 2022

►The GOAT: Strong Legs, Clear Mind
======================================

Former West Ham star Dimitri Payet rolled back the years in a goal of the season contender for Marseille but the Ligue 1 club had to settle for a 2-1 win over Greeks PAOK in the Europa Conference League quarter-finals.

In the first leg of the third-tier European competition at the Stade Velodrome, the winger set up Gerson to put OM in front in the 13th minute before drilling home a second on the stroke of halftime.

There have already been widespread appeals for the goal to be nominated for the Puskas award for goal of the season in world football.

It was the 35-year-old’s 12th goal of the season, keeping him on track for his most productive scoring year ever.

Moroccan Omar El Kaddouri pulled one back for PAOK early in the second half to leave the tie in the balance ahead of the return game, while Gerson was sent off in injury time.

The match was marred by some ugly clashes between supporters outside the stadium before kick-off.
