LEVERKUSEN, Germany, Dec 13 : Bayer Leverkusen substitute Martin Terrier staked a claim for goal of the season on Saturday when he scored with a stunning mid-air backheeled volley to help his team to a 2-0 victory over Cologne in the Bundesliga's Rhine derby.

The 28-year-old broke the deadlock in the 66th minute, connecting with Arthur's cross, which was behind his back, to score with a backheeled scorpion kick.

Cologne found themselves 2-0 down six minutes later before they had any time to recover, with Robert Andrich powering in a header from a corner.

The win lifted Leverkusen to 26 points in fourth place, with leaders Bayern Munich, on 37, in action against Mainz 05 on Sunday.
