Charlie Patino scored a cheeky flick for his first goal on loan with Swansea City on Saturday, helping them to a 3-0 win.
After he was rested in midweek for Swansea City’s match against QPR, Charlie Patino returned to the starting lineup for the weekend fixture against Sheffield Wednesday, and he made the most of his opportunity back in the side.
With Swansea having just gone 2-0 up in the second half, Sheffield Wednesday were pushing to try and get back into the game.
But in the 67th minute, Arsenal loanee Patino raced onto a through ball from Jamal Lowe, before chipping the Wednesday goalkeeper to make it three and kill the game.
The goal is certainly worth a watch, with various angles of the finish available on social media.
Charlie Patino’s 1st goal for Swansea was a beaut. Charlie takes the ball in stride and chips the keeper with his weaker right foot. Classy finish. pic.twitter.com/CAa1cVp9qj

Patino celebrated with a knee-slide, coming off seven minutes later with the three points all but secured.
After six games, Saturday’s goal was Patino’s first in Swansea colours, but he had already provided three assists in the previous five matches.
Next up, Swansea travel to Millwall, which will give Patino the chance to reunite on the pitch with fellow Arsenal loanee Brooke Norton-Cuffy.
