Watch Joe Aribo Finish Like A Striker To Score For Rangers In Europa League Final Against Frankfurt

Watch the moment Joe Aribo scored a goal for Rangers to put them ahead in the 2022 UEFA Europa League final after starting up front against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Joe Aribo was asked to do his best impression of a striker in the Europa League final.

He did a rather good job.

With Alfredo Morelos injured and Kemar Roofe not fit enough to start, Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst deployed central midfielder Aribo as his center forward.

That decision looked like a very good one when Aribo scored to give Rangers a 1-0 lead over Frankfurt after 57 minutes at Seville's Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.

Aribo latched onto a misguided Djibril Sow header then capitalized on a slip from center-back Tuta before finishing cooly with his left foot.

But Rangers only led for 12 minutes before Rafael Santos Borre leveled for the Bundesliga outfit.

The game was eventually decided by a penalty shootout as Frankfurt prevailed 5-4 to win their first European trophy in 42 years.

Nine of the 10 takers converted their spot-kicks but Rangers substitute Aaron Ramsey was denied by Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp.
