Any time a player “kung fu kicks” an opponent, we are reminded of Nigel De Jong’s famous assault on Xabi Alonso in the World Cup final.

Today is no exception, with AS reporting that “Borja Gomez does a De Jong on Diego Buonanotte,” following the incident in last night’s La Liga match.

Gomez produced his flying kick on Buonanotte in the 31st minute of Granada’s 2-1 win and was hugely fortunate to get away with just a booking.

Footage of Broja Gomez’s kung fu kick is on this video.
