Heading is clearly a huge part of the modern game, both on the back-foot making vital clearances with the likes of John Terry or Vincent Kompany or utilising the heads of strikers who have become heading-specialists like Radamel Falcao or Fernando Llorente. However, when youve been on the receiving end of a headed hat-trick from Sebastian Giovinco you do have to start contemplating that maybe those brain-boxes over at EA Montreal have placed slightly too much stock in the power of the head. The headed goal can be a thing of true beauty but witnessing a player like the aforementioned Sebastian Giovinco and his 53 frame leap like a salmon out of water over the back of 66 Brede Hangeland to head the ball in really does leave you scratching your head. Rather than just repeatedly smacking the shoot button after deploying a tasty looking ball from the win you should instead have to time the jump of your forward to make things slightly more demanding.
