Former Preston North End, Bradford and Wrexham striker proves he’s still got it following goal of the season contender
Former Preston North End favourite Louis Moult demonstrated at the weekend that he’s still got it.
The 31-year-old has returned to his goalscoring best this season, bagging 16 goals in 33 appearances for Dundee United as the Scottish Championship leaders bid to return to Scotland’s top flight. But the striker demonstrated he doesn’t have to be in the opposition 18-yard box for his eye for goal to automatically kick in.
Indeed, playing against Inverness Caledonian Thistle on Saturday, Moult showed he can be lethal even when he’s standing in the centre circle. That’s where the former Motherwell and Wrexham goal-getter found himself when he instinctively thought ‘goal’ when he outmuscled his opponent and the ball bounced kindly for him. Home keeper Mark Ridgers was conveniently off his line after punting the ball forward from the edge of his box – and the rest is history as the ball flew into the roof of the net.
The goal has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times on social media, with many considering the strike as goal of the season. Moult has clearly enjoyed the ovation he’s received since, with the front man liking and reposting footage of his ‘rabbit out of the hat’ moment. Meanwhile, it demonstrated why he’s been a much-sought-after commodity during his near 14-year playing career.
