Phoenix Rising's JJ Johnson scores overhead kick wonder goal

With player-owner Didier Drogba away at the World Cup on punditry duty, Phoenix Rising FC did their absent boss proud by thrashing Tulsa Roughnecks in the USL on Saturday evening.

The goal of the game came mere minutes before half-time when JJ Johnson put Phoenix 2-0 up with an absolute scorcher of an overhead kick.

In fact, the goal was so good that his club felt the need to pay homage to the Jamaican striker on social media.

Sensational technique!

Phoenix went on to register a convincing 3-0 win over Tulsa that keep them within three points of the summit of the USL table.

He may well be 6,000 miles away on the other side of the world, but Drogba will no doubt be beaming with pride.
