FANS have all been praising Chelsea transfer target Josko Gvardiol after he scored for Croatia in the World Cup third-place playoff.
The defender netted with a leaping header after Luka Modric’s cross to put his side in front against the African nation.
Croatia faced Morocco in the clash after both sides lost their World Cup semi-final matches against Argentina and France.
Despite taking the lead thanks to Gvardiol’s goal, it was quickly cancelled out as Moroccan defender Achraf Dari scored just less than two minutes later.
Gvardiol has been one of the stars of the tournament with his impressive performances in the back line.
The 20-year-old RB Leipzig star was already a wanted man, and his goal is a reminder of how good he can be.
