Fulham boss Jol: Kasami goal just like Van Basten's

Fulham boss Martin Jol hailed Pajtim Kasami's stunning goal in victory against Crystal Palace.

Kasami hit a screamer in the 4-1 triumph.

Jol said: "It was a fantastic Kasami goal, with his wrong foot. It was unbelievable because I haven't seen him do it before.

"I think it's probably better than people feel or think because he had to control the ball on his chest, then with his wrong foot in the other corner. It was a real good goal from a talented boy."

Regarding comparisons to Marco van Basten's volley for Holland in the 1988 European Championship final, Jol said: "That was totally different, you can't compare the two, but this was better!

"With Van Basten, that was one touch, but I think he (Kasami) sprinted 30 yards, then controlled the ball and to score the goal like that was probably even better. It could be one of the goals of the season."
