Felix Nmecha reacts to Dortmund bicycle kick: 'A bit of childhood'

Felix Nmecha has described his spectacular bicycle kick against Paderborn as “a bit of childhood” after scoring twice in Borussia Dortmund‘s 3-0 victory.

BVB had led since the early stages after Fabio Silva‘s opener, before Nmecha put the contest beyond doubt with his two late goals.

Asked whether his second, an overhead effort, should be considered Goal of the Month, Nmecha was happy to leave the judgement to others.

“You have to decide that,” he told DAZN after the win.

“But maybe it was a little bit of childhood. It was very nice. Those are the kinds of things you always tried as a kid,” he added.

“And then when it works, you’re happy.”

Nmecha’s late double ensured Dortmund made it three Bundesliga wins from three, with Kovac’s side level on nine points with early leaders Freiburg.
