VIDEO: Obafemi Martins finishes after jaw-dropping 360 move
Obafemi Martins' bid for this year's Golden Boot award is going rather well.
The Nigerian forward already holds three goals to his name through the opening four fixtures of the Major League Soccer season, the most impressive of which came in the Seattle Sounders' 1-0 win over the Houston Dynamo on Saturday.
After the Dynamo coughed up possession in their own half, Clint Dempsey fed the ball to Martins, who proceeded to shake off Jermaine Taylor with a phenomenal 360 move before slotting a shot past Tyler Deric.
Backflips ensued.
It's looking like 2015 will mark another MLS campaign where Martins and Dempsey tear apart the league's backlines.
21 - @Obafemimartins and @clint_dempsey have scored 21 of @SoundersFC's last 32 regular season goals in @MLS. Duo.
