(Reuters) - Porto striker Mehdi Taremi clinched UEFA’s 2020-21 Goal of the Season award on Thursday for his outstanding bicycle kick against Chelsea in the Champions League.

The Iranian guided an unstoppable injury time effort into the top corner from 12 yards to clinch a 1-0 quarter-final second leg win away to the eventual winners, but it was not enough to prevent a 2-1 aggregate defeat.
