Nestory Irankunda brought his goal scoring form, and his eye-catching celebration, back to England with him as the 20-year-old scored the equaliser in Watford’s 1-1 draw with Charlton Athletic.
Irankunda raced past Charlton’s defenders to get on the end of a through ball and drill an all-important goal into the far corner of the net.

The Australian unleashed what has become a trademark backflip celebration before once again adding some Michael Jackson moves to his routine.
Irankunda went as far as donning a white glove like the King of Pop in Melbourne when he scored a brace last week in the Socceroos’ 5-1 win against World Cup-bound Curacao.
He did not call for any props this time, simply adding a kick and spin move to his celebration.
The winger could have busted out even more moves as he threatened earlier in the game with a long range effort slamming into the crossbar.
He also teased scoring a winner but was denied by an impressive save from Charlton goalkeeper Will Mannion – who won player of the match honours for making nine saves as Watford registered 31 shots.
The goal was Irankunda’s fourth of the Championship season, in his maiden campaign for Watford, who sit seven points off the playoff places in the English second tier.2

In similarly promising news for the Socceroos’ firepower at this year’s World Cup, Mohamed Touré provided two assists as Norwich defeated promotion contenders Millwall 2-1.
Touré came off the bench and change the game in just his second appearance since recovering from the groin injury which forced him to miss the recent international window.
The 22-year-old made a stunning impact after joining Norwich during the January transfer window, scoring five goals, including a hat-trick, in his first three outings for the Canaries.
But on Easter Monday, he showed he can also play the role of provider as Norwich ruined Millwall’s chance to go second on the table.
Touré played in teammate Pelle Mattsson for the equaliser before breaking forward and dishing off to Oscar Schwartau to score the winner from close range.
Alex Robertson also got his name on the stat sheet as he scored a half-volley in Cardiff City’s 1-1 draw with Peterborough.
The 22-year-old midfielder returned from Socceroos duty as a second half substitute to score his sixth goal of the League One season, and his fifth since the New Year.
Also in England, Cameron Burgess’ Swansea dented Riley McGree’s Middlesborough’s hopes of earning automatic promotion with a 2-2 draw.
Burgess played the full 90 minutes, while McGree was substituted after 67 minutes.
A win for Middlesborough would have moved them to second in the Championship with the top two at season’s end put straight up to the Premier League.
The Boro appear destined for a playoff battle, however, as they are now winless in their last five matches.
McGree’s side sit level on points with second-placed Ipswich Towns, but the Tractor Boys have two games in hand.
