Englishman Jaden Philogene completed a sumptuous sequence on Tuesday evening with Hull City.

“We have the Prize Puskas of 2024 from February. » According to several Internet users, one of the goals of the year was scored Tuesday evening. And it’s not that of Brahim Diaz with Real Madrid, even if it is magnificent. It is from the Championship, the second English division, that this pretty candy came.

We can thank Jaden Philogene for this offering. The Hull City winger produced a superb sequence: ball recovered in the opponent’s area, small bridge, unstoppable hook and, in the process, a scarf shot from nowhere. The ball then went to lodge itself in the top corner of the Rotherham goalkeeper.

Unfortunately, it’s a CSC

Unfortunately for Jaden Philogene, he will have very little chance of obtaining this famous Puskas prize. For a simple reason, it is that the goal is not attributed to him. Looking carefully, we see that his scarf shot is slightly deflected from the head by a defender, which gives him this inward trajectory towards the opposite post. Officially, the scorer is Cameron Humphreys, against his side.

Too bad for Philogene, who unofficially succeeded in “best assist of the season”, according to the Championship account. The 22-year-old winger is generally having a superb season. Trained at Aston Villa, and sold to Hull this summer, he compiled 7 goals and 5 assists in 17 days of English D2. And not counting his stroke of genius on Tuesday evening.
