He did very well to create the chance especially so late on

On FIFA he could’ve cut it sideways to the other oncoming attacker to slot it in an empty net, or did one of those clever turns on the ball (not a Cruyff turn) where he ends up going at 90 degrees to the keeper to take him out the game then slotting it into the empty net again

But much easier said than done in reality
