Positioned just outside the box, he feigned a shot with his right foot but cleverly passed the ball with his left, catching the Feyenoord defense off guard.
The move drew comparisons to Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, who was the last player to execute a similar trick in mainstream European football.
Hargreaves Praises Boniface
Hargreaves, speaking on TNT Football, praised the Nigerian forward’s ingenuity. “Great work, proper, if he did that in training people would be going mad, but to do that in a game, that’s brilliant,” he said.
He also addressed skepticism about Boniface’s intent, adding, “Some people think that he didn’t really mean that, but it’s honestly just a touch of class. Really, really cool.”
A Rising Star
Known for his dribbling and technical ability, Boniface continues to establish himself as one of Europe’s most promising strikers. If he maintains his form, a move to a top club could be on the horizon.
