Steven Naismith gives “going for the ball” a whole new meaning in tussle with Daryl Janmaat

Throughout his career, Steven Naismith has always had an eye for the ball.

He may not have been banging the goals in every week during his time at Goodison Park, but the Scottish striker was still able to get his hands on the odd record. Now at Norwich, Naismith finds himself in the middle of a relegation battle as the Canaries took on fellow strugglers Newcastle United on Saturday. As the former Everton forward awaited a corner in the first half, he tussled with Magpies defender Daryl Janmaat in the box as they jockeyed for position. With so much on the line, Naismith decided to use the Dutchman to show off his famed ball control skills. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
