Known for his swash-buckling antics on the left flank, Antonee Robinson has emerged as one of world football's better left backs in recent years.
On Saturday, the United States Men's National Team defender showed why. Facing off against the mighty Germans in the U.S.'s final tune-up match before the World Cup, Robinson dazzled, slaloming beyond the likes of Joshua Kimmich and Leroy Sane to power the Americans' upset efforts.
In the latter stages of the first half, Robinson got his just rewards for a fine performance, bursting the net with a fiery volley from well outside the box.
Here's what you need to know about Robinson's eye-catching goal against Germany.

Antonee Robinson goal
The Americans leveled things up at one with a stunning strike from Robinson in the 37th minute. The left back caught a hold of a bouncing ball, whipping the lofted effort above Oliver Baumann's outstretched arm.
It was Robinson's second goal in as many international matches. He found the target in the USMNT's 3-2 win over Senegal on May 31. The fullback's teammate couldn't help but show their delight with his finish, greeting Robinson with hands on their temples and mouths agape.

Robinson rounded off his fifth international score in style, completing a backflip that was eerily reminiscent to efforts from the likes of Mary Lou Retton and Dominique Dawes. Suffice to say, his celebration had the soccer world talking.
Who does Antonee Robinson play club for?
Robinson plies his trade for Fulham at the club level. A Milton Keynes, England native, Robinson settled in White Plains, NY and later became a citizen.
