In the 56th minute of this evening’s Europa League Final between Eintracht Frankfurt and Rangers, the deadlock was broken as Joe Aribo pressed the Bundesliga side into making a costly mistake.

After the Scottish side launched a ball forward, one Frankfurt player headed the ball backwards, leaving Aribo to chase defender Tata like a man possessed, ultimately leaving the Frankfurt man to tumble to the floor and setting Aribo through on goal.

The 25-year-old showed excellent composure as he tucked the ball past Kevin Trapp with a tidy left-footed finish.

Aribo has etched himself into hero status with the Ibrox faithful with tonight’s contribution.
