Fans say ‘this guy’s an absolute monster’ as Celtic outcast Tomoki Iwata surpasses his Hoops goals in just TWO games
TOMOKI IWATA had the likes of Tom Brady and David Beckham applauding his debut goal for Birmingham City.
And the sublime strike from outside the box against Wrexham was also watched by co owner of the Welsh side, Rob McElhenney.
The Japanese midfielder was snapped up after just 18 months at Parkhead, spending a lot of time on the bench under boss Brendan Rodgers.
But he has started life in League One in scintillating form after scoring his second goal for his new club, almost emulating his first screamer.
The Blues headed to struggling Rotherham with hopes of maintaining their unbeaten start to the season.
And just 14 minutes into the hame the ball broke nicely for Iwata just outside the box.

He had time to run onto the ball before smashing it into the bottom corner, a screamer that was similar to his debut goal.
And fans took to social media to commend the player's talent after his great start for the club.
