Benzia’s goal has been called ‘art’ by fans[/caption]

Benzia’s team were a goal down when his acrobatic heroics levelled the game.

Monsef Bakrar dribbled down the wing, chopping inside before poking the ball to his 29-year-old team-mate.

The pass was slightly behind Benzia, who improvised brilliantly flicking the ball up above his head.

He then performed an overhead kick with his weaker foot that flew beyond the goalkeeper.

The goal will surely be in with a chance of winning Fifa’s Puskas Award for best goal of the year.

Fans loved the unbelievable piece of brilliance from Benzia, with one saying: “This is art.”

Another added: “Bro brought Fifa skill set to real life.”

A third reacted: “The flick and overhead combo is class.”

Having failed to make the grade at the French giants, he went on to play for the likes of Lille, Fenerbahce and Olympiakos.

The attacking midfielder now finds himself at Azerbaijani side Qarabag.

He has scored 13 goals in 41 games this season, including two in the Europa League.

Benzia has been capped four times by Algeria.
