Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho has clinched the 2024 FIFA Puskás Award for his extraordinary overhead kick against Everton, beating out Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu’s sensational flying backheel for Trabzonspor.
The award was presented during the FIFA Best Player of the Year ceremony in Doha, Qatar, where Garnacho’s magical moment stood out among contributions from nine other nominees, including Federico Dimarco and Mohammed Kudus.
Garnacho’s strike in the Premier League match at Goodison Park left fans and critics in awe.
The 20-year-old flawlessly connected with Diogo Dalot’s lofted cross, executing a perfectly timed acrobatic effort that stunned Everton’s Jordan Pickford.
Onuachu, despite his own spectacular goal for Trabzonspor, has struggled for form at Southampton this season.
However, the recognition of his brilliance serves as a reminder of what he’s capable of, encouraging him to reignite his performances in the Premier League.
