Check out the triple dummy... is this the most outrageous goal from a corner ever?

It's the sort of fixture that you are likely to find on Eurosport and will only watch if the TV remote is more than a foot away or you just watch any football that comes on the box.

But if you was lucky enough to catch the highlights of Moldova's Under 17 match with Serbia, you would have witnessed one of the more amusing set-pieces seen in recent times.

From a corner kick, Serbia played a short pass to the edge of the penalty area, which resulted in three attackers performing dummies before Andrija Zivkovic buried his first-time strike into the bottom corner.

Three players performing the distraction seems a bit excessive, and the statue-like defending as well as the Moldovan keeper being anchored to the spot only aid the eventual goal.
Still, it beats your over-paid Premier League right winger delivering yet another corner to be easily headed away at the near post and credit must be given to Zivkovic.

The pass to the forward took a ridiculous amount of bobbles before he found the sweet spot, making him a handy option for a number of Premier League sides facing tricky FA Cup away trips to the lower leagues in a few months' time.
