WATCH! The penalty jewel from Russia takes internet by storm again

Bengaluru, October 7: Four years after his first effort, Russian footballer Norik Avdalyan has made the keyboard warriors busy again, after scoring a somersault penalty -- an encore of his own viral 2018 effort -- when he played for Rubin Kazan's youth team.

This time, he completed the feat with Russian amateur outfit Nefis Kazan.

Avdalyan took a couple of steps before kicking the ball, but in the momentum of him trying a back flip.

Though the ball went in the centre of the net, the goalkeeper had already dived the wrong way.

The commentator could not hide his disbelief as he let out a "wow."

The video of his penalty has been widely circulated on social media, with fans saying that they have not come across such goals in football matches.
