In a delightful blend of football glory and playful banter, Alejandro Garnacho's astonishing bicycle kick goal for Manchester United against Everton sparked widespread acclaim and a lighthearted exchange involving ‘Prison Break' star Dominic Purcell. The TV star is a Liverpool fan, but didn’t hesitate in appreciating that moment of genius. The remarkable strike that saw the ball sail past goalkeeper Jordan Pickford earned Garnacho accolades, with pundits like Gary Neville hailing it as the Premier League's finest goal.

Dominic Purcell, known for his role as Lincoln Burrows on ‘Prison Break,' found himself tattooed on Garnacho's arm, alongside characters from the hit TV series. Taking to Instagram, Purcell humorously seized the opportunity, expressing his delight at being imprinted on the young winger's skin. “Well, if my face – let’s be real, Lincoln Burrows' face – is tattooed on someone, I’m humbled it's yours,” Purcell shared, teasingly adding, “Can I dare say I was there by default when Alejandro scored one of the greatest goals ever witnessed in the English Premier League. Any chance of a transfer to Liverpool?” accompanied by laughing emojis.

Garnacho's phenomenal goal resonated far and wide, even earning praise from unexpected quarters like Roy Keane, who commended the 19-year-old for his “brilliant goal.” The youngster received the Man of the Match award for his spectacular performance, culminating in a crucial victory for Manchester United.
