GIF: Cameron Jerome refuses to celebrate scoring audacious backheel golazo

Too easy

Ben Kiely

Cameron Jerome scored perhaps the cheekiest goal of the weekend, not that you could tell by his celebration.

Norwich City secured a comfortable 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest in the Championship yesterday.

Irish fans will be happy to see Wes Hoolahan on the scoresheet for converting a spot-kick but by far the most memorable part of the game involved former Stoke City striker Cameron Jerome.

Jerome bagged his 19th goal of the season for the Canaries after getting on the end of a Martin Olsson cross from the left flank.

The ball landed perfectly at Jerome’s feet, which allowed him to pull off an exquisite, first-time backheel that went sailing into the net. However, his extremely reserved celebration wasn’t really fitting for such an extraordinary goal.
