The Premier League returned today (Saturday) from the long hiatus, when Beitar Jerusalem dismantled Maccabi Netanya 3:6 and the focus was, of course, Ion Nicolescu, the host’s striker who starred hugely on the turf at the Teddy Stadium with a crazy foursome and a goal, but the striker was also at the center of things on the defiant side of the match In front of the diamonds.

Nicolescu, who completed a quick double within 10 minutes of the start of the game, scored a rather unusual goal to say the least. After passing the goalkeeper Itamar Nitzan, the striker who was left alone on the goal line waited a little before rolling the ball in as a disrespectful act and later after scoring he also celebrated in front of the stands of the visiting team from Netanya with an imitation of Leo Messi’s celebration from Argentina’s game against the Netherlands in the World Cup.
