FORMER Aston Villa youth star Jaden Philogene looked to have scored the “goal of the season” – but will not be credited with it.
The playmaker was sold by Villa to Hull City last summer and Philogene is enjoying a breakthrough season with seven goals in 17 games.
But no goal was classier than the one he looked to have scored in Hull’s 2-1 win at Rotherham.
Philogene picked up the ball in the box before twisting and turning, sitting Oliver Rathbone down on his backside.
He then flicked the ball towards goal with a stunning rabona and his effort sensationally lobbed keeper Viktor Johansson.
Fans went wild as one said: “Goal of the season and nothing will ever come close.”
Another added: “Stop that Jaden Philogene-Bidace.”
One hailed: “That’s one of the best goals I’ve ever seen.”
Another gushed: “Give Puskas to him already.”
Despite the wondergoal, Philogene’s attempted cross actually took a deflection off Cameron Humphreys and was credited as an own goal.

Hull later sealed all three points with sub Noah Ohio’s 75th-minute winner.
Despite Philogene being brutally denied the goal, his manager Liam Rosenior had nothing but praise for the player’s quality.
Rosenior said: “His ability is something we’ve missed for a long time and he will only get better with the games he plays.
“It’s not the goals and showreel moments but the energy levels he gives the team.
“He has a belief he can be a top player. His goal changed the momentum.
“I thought our performance was top. The players fought, it’s such a difficult place to come and full respect to their performance.”
