Ex-QPR winger scores unreal backheel goal as commentator shouts ‘look at that’
Former QPR winger Yeni Ngbakoto scored a stunning highlight reel backheel having swapped European football for Australia’s A-League – now starring for Western Sydney Wanderers.
Ngbakoto was on hand to equalise for Mark Rudan’s men against Central Coast Mariners and expertly guided home a cross into the box to earn rave reviews.
The 31-year-old DR Congo international has now scored twice in seven appearances in Australia having played for Guingamp, Panathinaikos and Nancy since leaving west London.

On his latest strike, the Aussie commentator said: “And it will sit for him… LOOK AT THAT! LOOK AT THAT FROM Yeni Ngbakoto!
“That is just magic. The back heel that he had no right to do given his body position.”
His colleague in the booth then said: “The touch, the back heel is pure finesse, that is class and there is nothing that Danny Vukovic. That will be on the highlight reels for weeks to come.”

Ngbakoto moved to the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium in 2016 and went on to play 35 times for the club and scoring twice before moving to Guingamp.
One of those five goals included QPR’s goal of the season in a 30-yard free-kick against Birmingham in a 4-1 victory.
One fan said in the comments: “Birmingham away freekick still holds a place in our hearts!”

“I was filled with enthusiasm by the sound of the project at the Wanderers as soon as my agent told me about it,” said Ngbakoto in the summer.
“I had spoken to players who played and are still playing in the A-Leagues who had told me good things about the competition.”
Ngbakoto plays for Wanderers alongside former Manchester United midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin as well as ex-Newcastle man Romain Amalfitano.
