Ezekiel Imoh scored his ninth goal of the season for Belgian Pro League club, Standard Liege in their 6-1 success against Charleroi SC on Friday.
In freezing conditions at the Sclessin, the 19-year-old scored inside the first three minutes, prodding past the Charleroi keeper, Parfait Mandanda.
The goal did not count however as the referee called back the play to award Standard a penalty and sent off the Charleroi defender, Elvedin Džinic who had fouled the Nigerian just before the goal.

Ezekiel eventually got his name on the score sheet in the 65th minute as side ran out emphatic 6-1 winners.
