Boy’s Got Skills: Southampton starlet Javen Siu

Here at Shoot!, we are always looking at ways to brighten up your day or even your week, and we reckon that a stunning goal or a wonderful piece of skill could do the job!

Radamel Falcao’s exquisite chip over Manchester City goalkeeper Willy Caballero on Tuesday night was certainly one of those rare moments of pure brilliance, and one of many excellent efforts over the last few days.

Yet, Southampton youngster Javen Siu produced some magic for the Saints’ Under-18 side against their Brighton counterparts on Wednesday afternoon.

The 17-year-old, who is a full-back by trade, picked up the loose ball on the edge of the Seagulls penalty box, and then unleashed a beauty into the top right corner past the despairing dive of the visiting goalkeeper Tom McGill.

Siu, who had already scored three times this term, netted the opener in a 2-0 victory for the Saints, who in turn move above their opponents into ninth place in the Under-18 Premier League Group South table after back-to-back wins.
