Federico Dimarco scored an outrageous goal of the season contender for Inter Milan on Sunday after opening the scoring on the stroke of half time against Frosinone.
Inter reclaimed their place at the top of the Serie A standings after winning 2-0 and it was Dimarco’s sensational strike that sent them on their way to victory.
The Italian defender had only scored eight goals in over 100 appearances for Inter prior to his weekend strike that will easily be the best pick of the bunch.
Dimarco’s opportunistic effort caught Frosinone goalkeeper Stefano Turati off guard as the long-distance strike sailed over his head and into the back of the net.
The build-up to the goal was kick-started by former Man United and Arsenal midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan who after winning possession back inside Inter’s half played a through ball for Dimarco to run onto.
He did exactly that and after letting the ball run into the opposition half, looked up to spot the goalkeeper back-pedalling and decided to unleash an incredible first-time shot.
The 26-year-old watched as the ball sailed almost the entire half of the pitch, over the head of a diving Turati and nestling in the back of the net to send the home supporters wild.
Home fans went crazy after witnessing the stunning goal, while players and Dimarco himself led celebrations on the pitch in response.
Inter goalkeeper Yan Sommer cut a stunned figure as he placed both hands on his head and walked around the penalty spot while his team-mates gathered at the other end of the field.
Meanwhile, Dimarco made his way to one of the corners of the San Siro stadium where he was mobbed by team-mates who were celebrating emphatically.
Social media marvelled at the Italian’s goal, but many comments tried to explain that the effort was actually a mistaken cross that was shanked into the net.
One critic posting on X said: That’s never been a shot! Full on shank after trying to find the striker who was goal side at the back post!
Another added: ‘He was defo trying to whip the ball in behind the defender.’
However, others attempted to credit Dimarco for his brilliant strike with one post simply stating: ‘One of the best goals I’ve ever seen.’
