🥶 Unfazed by criticism, Schalke striker bags a brace

The criticism surrounding Schalke striker Moussa Sylla has grown louder in recent days and weeks. After scoring on matchday 1, the 25-year-old went about 685 minutes without a goal. But that’s over now!

Sylla needed less than three minutes to put the Blue and Whites ahead against Hannover 96. The striker turned impressively and slotted the ball into the net. But that wasn’t all. By the 14th minute, Sylla struck again, heading in a flicked-on corner.

And the criticism? He just lets it roll off him coolly, as his celebration also shows.

Thanks to their eventual 3-0 victory, Schalke now sits—at least temporarily—at the top of the table, while the currently rather inconsistent Hannover side is losing touch with the leaders.
