Ayoze Perez scores outrageous backheel goal at Newcastle training

Perez was on top form last season, scoring six goals in the last eight Premier League games.

He's looking sharp at training for the coming season too.

Perez scored with a sneaky backheel in training, which took goalkeeper Rob Elliot by complete suprise.

The attacker jokingly asked the club on Twitter if the goal would could in the goal of the season contest.

He wrote on Twitter: "When you gotta find new ways to score... @nufc, Does it counts for the goal of the season contest? @the_dilsh, next time maybe you can save it"

Despite his fine form at training, Perez was unable to score in Newcastle's preseason victory over St Patrick's Athletic earlier in the week.

Perez has has a variable season, with goal droughts at times, but his form at the end of the season should help his confidence for Premier League kickoff.

Newcastle's next warm-up game is away to Hull next week, with a match against Porto the following week.
