Jairo is, quite simply, a better finisher from his backside than most upright strikers.

The Mainz forward scored two in his side’s 3-1 away victory over Hamburg but it was his opener that stood out most.

It looked for all the world that his chance had gone when the Spaniard slipped over when trying to play a ball into the six yard box.

But Jairo is made of more determined stuff and, from his arse, he caught the defender’s clearance on the volley and dinked it over Jaroslav Drobný in the Hamburg goal.
