Loan update | Vuskovic scores sensational scorpion kick

Luka Vuskovic scored a superb improvised finish in Hamburg's dramatic derby victory over Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga on Sunday.

The 18-year-old centre-back was making his 11th consecutive league start and his acrobatic attempt put HSV in front as they came from a goal down to secure a 3-2 home win.

Earlier, Jens Stage had given Bremen the lead on the stroke of half-time before Albert Sambi Lokonga equalised in the 63rd minute to restore parity for the hosts.

Then, 12 minutes later, Luka produced a moment of magic to stun his team-mates when he backheeled in Fabio Vieira's free-kick to give his side the lead at Volksparkstadion. The Croatia international wasn't even looking at the ball when he instinctively produced a standing scorpion kick to find the back of the net.

That setup a frantic final quarter-of-an-hour as his effort was cancelled out by Justin Njinmah just three minutes later before Hamburg hit back with an 84th-minute winner through Yussuf Poulsen to come out on top in the Nordderby and secure back-to-back league victories.

Luka's stunner was his second for his loan club - having scored against Heidenheim earlier in the campaign - and has made 13 appearances in all competitions to date. The north German outfit sit 13th in the top flight after 13 matches.
