DERBY County's Simon Dawkins scored twice in the Rams' 5-2 win at Fulham in the Capital One Cup.
His second was a stunning backheel volley to wrap up the victory at Craven Cottage.
And the forward has scored a similar goal for Jamaica.
Watch the videos of both Dawkins' goals, for the Rams last night and for Jamaica against Egypt, below.
AFTER reading "Threat to cut pensioners' Universal Benefits" in Mature Times, which refers to TV licences and winter fuel payments that could be stripped from hundreds of thousands of well-off pensioners to subsidise bus fares for under-21s, we are all disgusted about what the LibDem leader is proposing to do if he gets in next year.
With Labour, we are not saying that the well-off do not need it, as they can say they do not need it and give it back, but remember that pensioners have worked hard all their lives and have given a lot more than the 16-21-year-olds have given.
LibDem did not keep their word to students, so this is to try to keep them sweet so they will vote for them again, by taking off the elderly and disabled, to give to the young, healthy and capable.
So, we are hoping the 16-21-year-olds will think hard and deep, to where they put the X when voting.

IS IT too much to ask those celebrating festivals such as Diwali and bonfire night to think of children, pets and those of us who go to bed at a half-decent hour?
Can we dispense with the nightly noise that scares animals and plays hell with a good night's sleep?

POLICE are appealing for help in trying to find Craig Morris who left his home in Long Eaton on Monday night or Tuesday morning
Officers said it is "totally out of character" for him to go missing from his home in Bridge Street.
He was reported missing to police today. They said he used the Co-op store on College Street yesterday morning and walked towards Canal Street.
A spokesman for Derbyshire police said: "He is described as being white, 6ft 4 ins tall, with short blond hair and a tattoo on the back of his neck.
"He wears glasses and was wearing blue jeans and a long white or cream hooded cardigan.
"Mr Morris or anyone who has seen him should contact the police on 101."
POLICE divers have recovered a body from the River Derwent in Derby.
The body of the man was pulled from the water close to Exeter Bridge at 12.45pm today.
Members of Nottinghamshire Police's water search team made the discovery following days of investigation.
A police spokesman said: "Although the body is yet to be identified, we do not believe it is Ricky Hill, who has been missing since late September, or Lubomir Sana, who has been missing since October 10."
Following today's discovery, a white forensics tent was erected on the path that leads from the bridge to the River Gardens and a police cordon stopped people from getting close to the scene, which is overlooked by Derby Council House.
Ruth Jackson was walking home to Mayfield Road, Chaddesden after going shopping in the city when she saw police activity.
The 37-year-old full-time mum said: "It is quite shocking to see, really.
"I started walking over the bridge and a policeman told me I needed to cross over but wouldn't tell me why, then I saw the white tent and put two and two together.
"It is not the sort of thing you expect to see on a Wednesday afternoon when you are walking home."
Unemployed Rupert Jenson, of Brighton Road, Alvaston, was another passer-by to come across the sight of the white forensics tent.
The 30-year-old said: "I was jogging along through Bass's Rec and into the Rover Gardens when I saw the police cordon.
"I asked the officer what was happening but he said he could not tell me and told me I needed to find another route.
"I have seen water rescue teams here the past couple of days and I had heard that someone had jumped from the bridge at the weekend.
"It is very said and my thoughts go to his family."
For the past two days, a search has been carried out by Derbyshire charity Watersafe UK, which has been using underwater cameras to try and locate a missing person.
On Saturday evening, members of the public called police to reports of a man seen jumping from the bridge and into the river.
Rolls-Royce worker Robert Spencer, of Chester Green, said he was not surprised a body had been found as he had seen water rescue teams at the site since the weekend.
He said: "It is very sad to hear that they've found someone but I was expecting to hear the news or read about it online at some point.
"I feel for his family and I suppose they can at least be put at ease knowing he has been found."
The identity of the body found will not be released until next of kin have been informed, police said.
Online readers of the Derby Telegraph and our Facebook page also expressed their shock at the discovery of the body.
Rebecca Ireland said: "It's been a sad week for Derby, my heart goes out to all the families RIP to all 3 people."
And Adam Kent said: "I wondered what they were doing earlier with the scuba diving stuff. A real shame, thoughts to everybody who knows him."
Anyone who witnessed a man jump from the bridge into the river on Saturday evening is asked to call 101.
A DERBY firm has helped Donington Park celebrate a new sponsorship deal that will help the circuit to run like clockwork.
Clockmaker Smith of Derby, based in Alfreton Road, was called upon to create a 2.5 metre-diameter clock to mark the signing of a deal which sees luxury British watch-maker Bremont become the circuit's official timing partner.
The Bremont-designed double-faced clock, which overhangs the pit lane, was unveiled this week.
Bremont based the design on its Solo range of watches and enlisted Smith of Derby, which has a long history of making iconic clocks around the world, to build and install it.
The deal between Bremont and Donington Park will run for eight years and is another major boost to the Castle Donington circuit, which has re-established itself over the past four years as one of the UK's premier motor racing circuits.
Today, the circuit is the home of the Formula E race series and next year the British Motorcycle Grand Prix – Moto GP – will return.
Christopher Tate, managing director of Donington Park Racing, said: "The entire team at Donington Park is delighted to have Bremont as our new watch partner and we thank them for their provision of this wonderful new pit lane clock."
Giles English, co-founder of Bremont, said: "This is a very exciting, long term partnership for Bremont and one that further builds on our ties within the automotive world having collaborated with the likes of Jaguar and Norton.
"Donington Park is an iconic British venue with international acclaim, which has a huge history.
"Bremont is now incredibly proud to be a part of this new chapter at Donington and we were delighted to be working with Smith of Derby on the project."
Martin Butchers, technical sales engineer, Smith of Derby, said: "The design of the clock incorporates aircraft-style fixers around the drum and bezels to reflect Bremont's aviation DNA and the support bracket of the clock was designed to emulate the wishbone suspension of formula racing cars, to reflect its location.
"We are delighted that it will be seen and enjoyed by race goers around the world."
In 2009, Donington Park closed after its bid to host the Formula One Grand Prix failed and the company running the circuit went under.
Since Donington Park Racing began running the circuit in 2010, its fortunes have turned around.
IF David Cameron now acknowledges that the British voters are his boss, how come he doesn't do what most people want?
It would appear that the majority of people are asking for an immediate In/Out EU referendum and action on curbing the escalating immigration problem. Instead, we have been left dangling at the end of a very long rope.
The time for action is now, not sometime never in the future.

AN emotional witness told today how he helped comfort a young man fatally injured in a road accident.
Last night the 18-year-old rider had still not been officially identified by police.
The accident happened at around 6pm on Tuesday at the junction of Abbey Street and Mercian Way.
Yesterday, a close family friend, who did not wish to be named, said that she had only seen the victim less than an hour before his death.
She said he was "one of those people who could always make you laugh.
"He would come out with most random things but they couldn't help but make you smile.
"I only saw him at 5pm, just before it happened.
"I can't believe that he is gone.
"It just shows you how you can be there one minute and gone the next.
"His family was incredibly important to him and he always did the best for them and his friends."
The witness, a van driver who saw the collision, said he tried to comfort the cyclist before paramedics arrived.
The driver, who said that he was "just a few hundred yards from home", said he held the cyclist while waiting for the emergency services to arrived and saw that he was still breathing.
The man gave a statement to the police at the scene of the collision on Tuesday night and called the Derby Telegraph after reading online reports of the incident.
Legal reasons mean that the Telegraph cannot reveal all of the details discussed.
However, the man did say: "It all happened so fast.
"I was the first person on the scene.
"I was sitting at the red light at the junction of Mercian Way and Abbey Street and saw the collision.
"I pulled my van over to the central reservation and ran out while calling the police.
"All I was trying to do was my best for the lad.
"I couldn't sleep that night and went to work but was sent home."
The cyclist died yesterday morning in the Royal Derby Hospital.
The driver said: "I read the reports on the internet and Facebook and wanted to tell people what I saw.
"To hear that the boy has died is absolutely heart-breaking.
"My thoughts go out to his family."
We want to know where you think is the best kennels in Derbyshire.
Is the place so good your dog views it as a second home? Let us know either in the comments box, below, on our Facebook page or via Twitter (@DerbyTelegraph).
We will then compile a list of the most popular kennels and publish the results next week.
I WOULD support those on-line posters who said that Ian M Thorpe's 'rant', "Why are we paying so much for staff pensions" (October 21) about pensions for city council employees, was misguided. The council scheme, being a 'final salary scheme', will have employees' own contributions of at least 5-6% of earnings.
If it is a ring-fenced scheme, then compulsory membership should maintain its ability to pay benefits promised. Migration of members/reduction of, through leaving service or redundancy, reduces the scheme's ability to meet its benefit targets. The current low yields on investments will affect their funding requirements to meet benefits. Inevitably employers will have to increase their own share of contribution or their employees will. Today's current life expectancy of men retiring at age 65 is well over age 85 now, meaning a bigger drain on accumulated pension funds. When many of the current public service final salary schemes were introduced, over 50 years ago, that life expectancy was 10 years less. From my experience, a well designed scheme with a positive yield of 2% per annum and a compulsory membership of all who joined, would in the old days have enabled the actuaries to meet pension liabilities for those retiring from existing members' contributions. But a combination of Gordon Brown's short-sighted abolition of advance corporation tax relief on pension scheme investments, the Tories' move to make membership of occupational pension schemes a choice, plus the disappearance of high-yielding Treasury Bonds, has led to problems today with maintaining final salary related schemes.
But, as I have mentioned on this page before, high earners get twice as much tax relief (40%) on their own contributions than lower paid members. Is that fair in today's economic climate?

AN award-winning Derbyshire playwright and drama teacher is in the limelight with her work being showcased at two London arts events.
Tina Jay, who lives in West Hallam and teaches at Trent College in Long Eaton, is having a new play, Back, performed at the Greenwich Theatre on Saturday.
The play was specially written for Vertical Line Theatre's Lineup evening.
From Monday, Ms Jay's play Walking, a winner of the Kenneth Branagh Award for New Drama Writing three years ago, is being shown as part of So And So Arts Club's week-long One Act Festival at Ophelia at Lift 574 in Dalston.
Ms Jay, who first started writing poems and short stories as a child, has penned eight full-length dramas and a large number of short plays.
Her first full-length play, Rotten Apples, was written in her final year at university and won the International Student Playscript Award, judged by Sir Alan Ayckbourn. The play was then performed at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester.
With two new productions looming, she is looking forward to the buzz of opening night.
She said: "For a lot of writers, the actual performance night is quite tense and often quite difficult to enjoy, wondering how an audience is going to react to the piece, so I probably feel the most relaxed on seeing a play developed in rehearsal. However, there is nothing like the thrill of actually seeing your work performed, even with the tension.
"A lot of theatre companies are really keen for writers to be involved in the production process, which is great.
"I find it really interesting and helpful to listen to feelings and input from actors and to see the characters from their viewpoints.
"Likewise, actors will often find it helpful to be able to ask the writer further questions about the piece in developing their character and writers can equally learn from how an actor perceives the character and displays their characteristics."
She is now working on a number of new pieces, including a play of Against The Law, about the life of the journalist and gay rights campaigner Peter Wildblood.
DERBY County's Capital One Cup quarter-final against Chelsea will be shown live on Sky Sports.
It will take place at the iPro Stadium on Tuesday, December 16 (7.45pm).
The two sides met in the FA Cup third round last season, the Blues winning 2-0 at the iPro.
Steve McClaren's Rams booked their place in the last eight with a 5-2 win at Fulham on Tuesday night, while Chelsea beat Shrewsbury Town 2-1.
STEVE McClaren says Derby County's Capital One Cup quarter-final tie against Premier League giants Chelsea is "a great draw for the club, the fans and the players".
The Rams will take on Jose Mourinho's men at the iPro Stadium on Tuesday, December 16 (7.45pm).
The match will be shown live on Sky Sports.
Chelsea visited Derby last season in the FA Cup third round and ran out 2-0 winners.
"It's a great draw for the club, the fans and the players," said Rams head coach McClaren.
"It is exciting but we will keep our feet on the ground.
"We will put it to bed and look forward to it in six weeks' time.
"We gave them (Chelsea) a good game in the FA Cup in January and came out of it with credit.
"Hopefully, we will give Chelsea a game again."
POLICE in part of Derby are appealing for information following a number of thefts of and from vehicles.
Sometime between Saturday and Tuesday, twelve vehicles were entered across Chellaston, Alvaston and Boulton and items such as iPods, money, clothing and a sat nav were stolen.
Overnight between Sunday and Monday, a motorcycle was stolen from outside a house in Shakespeare Street, where thieves used a bolt cropper to remove the steering lock.
The same evening saw a moped stolen from a driveway in Westminster Street.
Sergeant Simon Hawley, manager of the safer neighbourhood teams in Derby East said: "Clearly an effort was made to take the motorcycles but last weekend saw a large number of vehicles left insecure and for this reason it was much easier for thieves to gain entry and steal the contents from within.
"We appeal to home and vehicle owners to take extra care when securing their property or vehicle.
"We ask that neighbours keep alert to any suspicious behaviour or activity in their area and to call the police when it is taking place.
"If this is not possible please call us as soon as you can with a description of the persons or any vehicles or bikes they may be using.
"If you use CCTV please check it and report any suspicious behaviour."
Crime prevention advice includes making sure that all windows and doors are properly secure before cars and vans unattended; keeping any valuables out of sight and, if motorists have a sat-nav, wipe the windscreen after they have removed it so there is no mark where the holder was placed.
Drivers are also advised to park in well-lit, overlooked areas where possible.
Anyone with information on any of the incidents should call Derbyshire police on 101.
SANDY Ryan is to get her biggest chance yet to prove her Olympic credentials after being named in the Great Britain squad for the Women's World Boxing Championships in South Korea.
It is a tremendous show of faith by the GB Boxing selectors in the 21-year-old from the One Nation Pegasus club in Derby, who sees the call-up as a potentially "life-changing" opportunity.
But it is also a much-deserved reward for Ryan, who has faced every challenge set her since being involved in the GB squads and has shown a boundless appetite for wanting to improve. It also follows her gold medal in the Queen's Cup in Germany last week.
"This is a massive step for me, to get picked for the World Championships this early on in my career," she said.
"I was really made up when they told me I would be going. A medal at the World Championships can change my life."
Ryan stepped up from lightweight to light-welterweight for the tournament in Germany and is to stay at the heavier weight in the World Championships, which will be held in Jeju City from November 13-25.
A LORRY and two cars collided in an incident at Markeaton roundabout.
