Chelsea midfielder Oscar has posted an entertaining video to his Twitter account where his agile skill moves prove to be too much for the linesman, who stumbles to his own feet while trying to keep up with the slick Brazilian.
The 25-year-old completed his move to the Chinese Super League side Shanghai SIPG this January with a staggering £60m transfer fee, a price that became a new club record for the Blues to sell a player with.
He scored on his debut game in a friendly match against Arabian Premier League side Al Batin, and continued his solid start with his new club on the competitive stage.
In last night’s AFC Champions League clash against Sukhothai the ex-Chelsea ace scored a tidy finish on the 34th minute of the game, before showboating with some lovely dribbling skills, which were too much to stand up for (no pun intended) for the nearest linesman in the 3-0 win for the Red Eagles.

Could this be a proof of the quality the Chinese Super League encapsulates? Perhaps not. In the end he’s just a linesman who isn’t used to such pace on the ball.
