Watch this ridiculous lobbed volley goal from Jose Callejon

Napoli are up 1-0 over FC Midtjylland thanks to this spectacular goal from Callejon.

Napoli are struggling to get traction in the early stages of the Europa League match against Danish side FC Midtjylland. The partenopei were struggling to hold possession effectively and link up with their front line, so Kalidou Koulibaly decided to try something different and launched a deep ball up the pitch. Then this happened:

Ho. Ly. Crap.

First of all, fantastic ball form Koulibaly. But the adjustment from Callejon to get to it, and the control to weight that volleyed lob so perfectly despite being outstretched is just... just... holy crap. You just don't do that. Lionel Messi would struggle to score that. And yet, Callejon made it look easy. Just a fantastic goal, and one that really helped Napoli kick-start this match, because they've been much better since scoring that.
