Nick D’Agostino scored a double including a spectacular overhead bicycle kick in Norway, while Josh Nisbet hit the winner for Ross County in Scotland.
In Norway’s Eliteserien, Nick D’Agostino grabbed a brace after coming on at half-time in Viking’s 5-1 win over Haugesend.
D’Agostino had only scored twice in 15 league appearances all campaign but came to life after a sensational goal put his side ahead 2-1 in the 55th minute.
Lars Jorgen Salvesen’s looped header from a right-wing cross offered little to D’Agostino but he found a pocket of space and produced a remarkable right-foot volley into the bottom corner for one of the goals of the season.
Four minutes later he had another, ghosting into space in the box and heading home Josh Urbancic’s left-flank cross.
Those goals make it three goals in five games for D’Agostino who spoke post-game about his magical strike.
