A Graziano Pelle Moment Of Genius Ends Jim McGuinness' Chinese Winning Run

Jim McGuinness' Beijing Guoan have finally failed to win a match with the former Donegal manager on the sideline.

Since leaving Celtic to head to the far east in late June, McGuinness has seen his side win four games on the bounce. That was until Saturday morning, when they drew 2-2 with Shandong Luneng Taishan in the Workers' Stadium.

Shandong's star striker is no other the former Southampton player Graziano Pelle. The Italian moved to China last summer, and he showed on Saturday morning, why he was paid so much to move from the Premier League.

With a flick of the ball off the knee, Pelle then lobbed the ball over Beijing's Yang Zhi. From his reaction it was pretty clear, he hasn't scored many goals like that in his career.

While goals in the Chinese Super League may not be the highest of quality, his goal is certainly a Goal of the Season contender.

Southampton's fans must be asking why he didn't do that at St. Mary's.
