A nutmeg AND THEN a rabona to score? From that angle? That’s world class talent right there.
Unfortunately, there will always be “Johnny Rainclouds” on the internet and fans pointed out that a deflection off Rotherham’s Cameron Humphreys was the reason the ball went in, and the goal was awarded as an own goal.

Dream over. No Puskas award for Philogene… or is the dream over?
On Wednesday the EFL stepped in and ruled the goal DOES go to Philogene. The deflections might take a little away from the goal, but thankfully Philogene will get credit for the magnificent move.
The EFL have ruled that Jaden Philogene did score Hull City’s equaliser at Rotherham last night ⚽✅

Time will tell if FIFA are forgiving and nominate him for the goal of the year award.
