3. Emil Forsberg (Sweden)

Forsberg capped an excellent team move with a sweet strike to put Sweden ahead against Denmark.

Jimmy Durmaz found himself in space on the right touchline, and with right-back Mikael Lustig over-lapping him, Durmaz took the ball back towards his own goal, before back-heeling a delightfully weighted ball into Lustig’s path. The full-back was able to advance into the area before pulling the ball back to the on rushing Forsberg, who fired the ball first time across the keeper, onto the post, and into the net.

Sweden secured a 2-2 draw in Copenhagen a few days later to put the disappointment on missing out on the 2014 World Cup behind them.
