Bicycle Kick

An overhead kick where the player throws themselves backwards into the air and strikes the ball with a scissoring leg motion. Also called a scissors kick or overhead kick. The most spectacular way to score a goal. Rooney against City. Bale in the Champions League final. When one goes in, everything stops for a moment.

"Bicycle kick from the edge of the six-yard box. It's flown into the top corner. That's goal of the season."
