George Boyd is nicknamed 'the white Pelé' by Peterborough United fans, but he outdid the Brazilian with a wonder goal against Huddersfield Town on Tuesday night.
The Posh, second from bottom, recorded their third win in five Championship games thanks to a double from the 27-year-old winger at London Road.

But the importance of the victory faded into inconsequence when Boyd smashed in a 35-yard volley for his second of the match after just 24 minutes.
"He has had a little look, spotted their keeper off his line and executed his shot brilliantly. If Lionel Messi had done that you would be seeing it over and over again," said manager Darren Ferguson.
The victory was Peterborough's first at home all season.
