Alessia Russo's audacious skill in the Women's Euro semi-final saw her join the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane in scoring with the dazzling trick - so which other players have scored cheeky backheel goals?

There's something special about a backheel.

With so many goals coming from the laces or instep, it takes a sizeable amount of bravery to try a flick with your heel, knowing how silly it could look if it goes wrong.

That makes the times when it does go in even more special, showing your opponents you can beat them with your back turned, the ultimate in cheek and audacity.

The fact England striker Alessia Russo also nutmegged Sweden goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl as she pinged a backheel into the net in the Women's Euro semi-final on Tuesday makes it even more dazzling.
