Manchester United loanee Hannibal Mejbri has picked up Birmingham City’s Goal of the Season award.
The Tunisian fired home a clever free-kick after spotting West Brom goalkeeper David Button standing slightly off his goalline. He struck the ball straight past the wall and found the back of the net to mark his first-ever senior goal.
It opened the scoring in a home clash with City’s fellow Midlands rivals at St. Andrew’s Stadium, helping the Blues on their way to securing all three points.
Outrageous, Hannibal! 😮💨

Hannibal readying United return
Hannibal has made 40 appearances across the campaign, scoring just the one goal but assisting a further six. He may feature in City’s final game of the season on Monday when they take on newly-promoted Sheffield United before returning to Old Trafford for the summer.
Erik ten Hag will then have to make a decision on the 20-year-old’s future and whether to send him out on another loan spell or keep him at the club.
