Counter-attacking football has long been a popular weapon for the Davids seeking to topple the Goliaths — and the catapult goals such as Anthony Elanga’s are its crowning glory.
Elanga raced 85 yards in nine seconds, breaking clear from a defensive corner and dribbling from inside his half to score a thrilling winner for Nottingham Forest against Manchester United on Tuesday.
Twenty four hours later and Marcus Rashford scored the opener for Aston Villa at Brighton, bursting out from a defensive corner and latching onto a long pass from Morgan Rogers.
