Brighton starlet Julio Enciso scores superb equaliser against Manchester City

Julio Enciso scored a superb equaliser for Brighton at home to Manchester City, with Jamie Redknapp describing the strike as ‘Ronaldo-esque’.

After Phil Foden had given City the lead, Brighton pulled level in the 38th minute through a brilliant strike from Enciso.

The hugely talented youngster went for goal from 25 yards out and managed to find the top corner, prompting Redknapp to compare the strike to goals scored by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Enciso has made a major impact during his first season in the Premier League and has now scored four goals in the division. His strike against Chelsea was also from a significant distance. 

Speaking on Sky Sports, Redknapp said: ‘This is why it’s so important you’ve got a goalkeeper who can play out from the back. That is Ronaldo-esque, it’s such an amazing strike, it’s as good a strike I’ve seen in the Premier League for so long. The goalkeeper is missing it by five yards, what technique.’
