‘What a goal!’ Van Persie hails Russian footballer after he scores PERFECT recreation of Dutchman’s iconic World Cup goal (VIDEO)
As praise for headed goals goes it doesn’t come much higher than from the man behind one of most iconic efforts of all time – but that’s what one little-known Russian footballer has received from Dutch legend Robin van Persie.
Van Persie famously scored a ridiculous headed goal for his country against Spain at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, when the flying Dutchman met a cross from Daley Blind, athletically looping a header from 15 yards out over the head of Spain ‘keeper Iker Casillas and into the net.
This is one of the most iconic goals of this decade. Robin van Persie's outrageous header against Spain in the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Incredible.
