Chair-way to heaven

He has a very distinctive moniker in the first place - but Ilias Chair seems hellbent on making a name for himself this season. 

After sealing a deadline day loan to Stevenage, the QPR man has delivered a series of stunning performances and jaw-dropping goals in League Two. 

Eight goals in four League Two goals tells its own story, but the quality of Chair's strikes have been breathtaking. His most recent, versus MK Dons last Saturday, underlined how deadly Chair is from distance - and earns him this week's Playmaker 'Goal of the Week' award. 

Here's what happened. The 21-year-old picked up the ball in the middle of the opposing half with little on and seemingly little danger in the air. However, a quick shift onto his right foot saw Chair fix his sights firmly on Lee Nicholls' goal, and a split-second later a low fizzing effort had sped past the Dons' number one and nestled in the net. It was an outlandishly good strike that deserved to win any game - but didn't, thanks to Chuks Aneke scoring a late equaliser for Paul Tisdale's hosts. 

The third recipient of Playmaker's prestigious 'Goal of the Week' award, Chair follows in the footsteps of Aston Villa's Jack Grealish and Brentford's Said Benrahma - which makes him the first League Two player to get his hands on the honour. Good on him. 

Chair looks a serious talent and, rather ridiculously, his award-winning goal isn't even that good by his lofty standards...check out the goal he scored against Swindon a week ago today!
