Inglewood United’s Shubham Mokala sent his side into raptures after a deflected wonderstrike found its way into the back of the net to cap off a miraculous comeback 3-2 win in the opening round of the NPL WA men’s season.

Inglewood looked gone for all money after two first-half goals to reigning champions Floreat Athena.

Mokala made it a little easier with his first goal shortly after the break, before a crisply-executed set piece drew the sides level before the hour mark.

At the 68-minute mark, Mokala struck again.

The Inglewood hero took possession at the edge of the box, spun out of trouble and let fly with his left foot.

The Floreat-Athena keeper looked pretty well across it until a deflection nudged the ball outside of his reach and into the top of the net.

The comeback win proved to be some consolation for Inglewood after losing the night series grand final the previous week.
