Portsmouth left-back Nat Chioma scored a spectacular goal-of-the-season contender in only his second senior appearance while on loan at Poole Town. The 18-year-old struck a 25-yard left-footed shot in the 78th minute on Tuesday night to put Poole Town 2-1 ahead at Chertsey Town, eventually securing a 3-1 victory that lifted the club into fifth place in the Southern League Premier South.
