Millwal's Mihailo Ivanovic scored one of the weirdest goals you'll ever see in the FA Cup clash against Dagenham & Redbridge
English football has seen some incredible headers over the years, but the one young Mihailo Ivanovic of Millwall netted on Monday night in the FA Cup is probably the most weird and fabulous at the same time.
The Lions celebrated a routine 3-0 victory against Dagenham & Redbridge to progress to the fourth round of the world's oldest still-running football competition, and Ivanovic's opener made it much easier for them to pass this obstacle.

Interestingly, Elliot Justham, the Dagenham goalkeeper, did well to save his side in the occasssion. However, the 20-year-old Serbian striker executed a magnificent piece of improvisation, hitting the ball with his head while still lying on the ground.
"I just saw the ball staying there and was like: 'For this club, I would throw myself and shoot it with my head.' I tried and succeeded," said Ivanovic, who joined Millwall from Vojvodina, the Serbian top-tier side and Collins Sichenje's current club.
