Birmingham City: Lukas Jutkiewicz receives a lot of love from these fans

Birmingham City striker Lukas Jutkiewicz can be absolutely lethal with his head when the ball enters his vicinity in the box.

Seeing the 30-year-old rise above one or more defenders at the back post, before powering the ball into the net, has become a familiar sight for Bluenoses.

It turns out they have seen it 16 times since the man nicknamed ‘Juke’ joined the club in 2016:

16 headed goals was the answer to today’s #TuesdayTrivia question.

There’s no beating @Lukeyjuke in the air!

This means that just short of half of Juke’s Blues goals have come from headers, with Transfermarkt showing that he has got a total of 34 in 129 Birmingham matches.

The focal point of the Blues’ attack, Jutkiewicz has played in six league games so far this season, scoring three goals, as per WhoScored – and perhaps unsurprisingly, all three of those finishes have come with his head.

A selection of Twitter reaction to the video, including posts from loving Birmingham fans, can be seen below:

If the ball comes into the box I feel sorry for the defenders

Juke is pound for pound the best striker in the Championship if not most of the Premiership

Best 1 million ever spent his head alone is worth 8 million who’s better at heading than the almighty juke?
