'Are you watching Arsenal?': Swedish ice hockey star pulls off brilliant HEADER

Swedish forward Max Friberg has urged Premier League side Arsenal to watch his header, as he produced a flick on that most Premier League centre-forwards would be proud of in his side's 3-2 victory over Latvia at the 2022 Winter Olympics.

The Frolunda winger, who was drafted by the NHL's Anaheim Ducks back in 2011,  jumped up and headed the puck to dump it across the blue line in the Group C qualification match.

Friberg was the furthest player forward for Sweden with 11.33 minutes remaining of the second period when the puck was launched forwards.

It was too high for the 29-year-old forward to bring down with his stick, so he rose up to get the puck back on the ice, and help his side defend their lead as Latvia made a comeback.

A brace from Lucas Wallmark and a goal from Anton Lander gave the Swedes a commanding 3-0 lead, but they were pegged back by goals from Renars Krastenbergs and Nikolajs Jelisejevs.

Friberg posted in response to his header on Twitter, by saying: 'Are you watching Arsenal?.'

Fans were also compared his header to Alan Shearer and another was keen to put him on Burnley's radar who recently lost target man Chris Wood in a £25million transfer to Premier League rivals Newcastle United.

One fan tweeted: 'Has Sean Dyche seen this.'

'Alan Shearer like flick on that,' another tweeted.

Another fan questioned Friberg's decision, by saying: 'Looks good but he could’ve just used his hand and guaranteed possession for Sweden.'

Back in 2015, when Chicago Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw tried to score the overtime game-winner by deliberately heading the puck into the net against the Anaheim Ducks, there was a lot of confusion when the goal was ruled out.

In ice hockey, the rules state if the puck is directed by a helmet or any part of an attacking skater's body the goal will not count, however that doesn't mean a deflection off a body part unintentionally.

There is also nothing stating you can't head the puck anywhere else on the ice, other than making an attempt on goal.
