Remember the Puskas Award nominee happened in a game

The Argentinian defender copies the Roche goal with the overhead flick from one foot to another but Stephanie’s is still better

After what is best described as a shaky start to his career at Manchester City, Martin Demichelis has settled down to become a virtual ever present in Manuel Pellegrini’s defence.

However, after seeing this in training, we wonder will the Chilean push his fellow South American closer to goal. In preparation for their FA Cup tie with Sheffield Wednesday, the centre half pulled off a Stephanie Roche-esque goal in training.

Demichelis has the flicks down, and the finish isn’t bad either, but as Stephanie’s goal came in an actual game, she still gets vote for us. Speaking of votes, if you haven’t already, get in here to vote for Stephanie’s goal for the Puskas Award.
