Christian Benteke's BICYCLE KICK goal leads Wayne Rooney's DC United to third straight win as they defeat Charlotte FC 3-0

Christian Benteke doubled DC United's lead Saturday night in acrobatic fashion, converting a bicycle kick against Charlotte FC as the team won at home.

The goal came in the 75th minute after teammate Andy Najar lumped a ball into the box and Derrick Williams won a header towards Benteke.

Charlotte's Harrison Afful got to the ball first, but his header went barely ahead of Benteke, and the former Crystal Palace striker adjusted his body to get in the air and score with the overhead kick.

Benteke's goal came between finishes from Taxi Fountas and Jacob Greene in the 34th and 95th minute respectively.
