In his close circles, they simply call it ‘The Jamie Gittens Goal’. The one they’ve seen so many times. Where the 20-year-old Englishman feints to the left before driving to the right and curls the ball through a crowded box and into the back of the net.
When he did it again for Borussia Dortmund last Saturday against Borussia Monchengladbach, the Dortmund social media account posted the ‘I am inevitable’ quote from supervillain Thanos in the Avengers movies, with the caption, ‘Jamie Gittens whenever he cuts in on his right foot’.
For those who haven’t seen it yet, think of Arjen Robben cutting in and scoring - just from the other flank.
