Leeds have been all over Roy Hodgson’s Crystal Palace in the first half and Brazilian winger Raphinha has just twisted the knife into the defence as he completely embarrasses Gary Cahill with this piece of skill.
Dribbling with the ball just outside the right hand side of Palace’s box, he turns and flicks the ball with his heel through veteran defender Gary Cahill’s legs and Gary had no choice but to pull the skilful player to the ground to slow down play.
Former Leeds player Jermaine Beckford who played 147 times for the club filmed the piece of skill and his reaction is similar to anyone who has watched this. Gary was absolutely destroyed and we’ve all been there.
There is no better feeling than nutmegging an opponent and no worse feeling than getting nutmegged around your own box.
Is this the dirtiest nutmeg we’ll see this season?

Raphinha is electric and an amazing addition to Bielsa’s squad, hopefully he produces more pieces of skill like this through the season.
