Italian striker Ciro Immobile has lived up to his country's footballing reputation as the masters of drama after making a miraculous recovery from injury to celebrate a team goal.
Competing in the European Championship quarter-finals against Belgium, Immobile went to ground in the Belgian penalty box and looked to be in considerable pain after a challenge for the ball with Jan Vertonghen.
As Immobile lived up to his name and Vertonghen protested his ministrations, Nicola Barella took possession of the ball and beat two men to fire home a goal across the face of Belgian keeper Thibaut Courtois.
As Barella sprinted to the crowd to celebrate what was the opening goal of the match, Immobile suddenly realised what had happened and burst to life to join his teammates' revelry.
