WATCH: Eric Cantona eat your heart out! Glenavon midfielder scores wonderful lob

The midfielder put his side ahead in the Northern Ireland Football League Premiership match against Glentoran.

Joel Cooper conjured a moment of magic that Eric Cantona would be proud of in Glenavon's NIFL Premiership clash against Glentoran.

Cooper, who is a Northern Ireland youth international, evoked memories of the Manchester United legend's sublime strike against Sunderland with a wonderful lobbed goal.

The 20-year-old midfielder cut inside before switching back onto his right foot and his subsequent chip left Glentoran goalkeeper Dwayne Nelson stranded.

Watch Cooper's goal below!

Just like that!
