Enner Valencia is a certified Ecuador legend, as well as one of those cult hero footballers, particularly among West Ham fans.
His latest strike for his country might just be the best of the record 44 he has for them in total.
Just seven minutes into the game, the Lionel Messi that seemingly lies within Valencia awoke, and saw the 35-year-old cut through Colombian defenders with ease, before curling home a delightful left-footed finish.
Woke up this morning to discover that not only is Enner Valencia still playing, but he’s morphed into Lionel Messi.
Football is a crazy world.

South American defenders must be beyond sick of the sight of the great Argentinian at this point, so they’ll be hoping this is a one-off from Valencia!
