You got that right.

Just seen Erik Lamela score an absolutely incredible goal.....

The commentators were saying how great a strike it was - and I thought they were being somewhat over the top. It was a good, curling shot from just outside the box - but nothing more. Then they kept showing replay after replay - still the commentators were waxing lyrical.... strange.....

...then, at about the 8th replay - from another angle - I understood what they had seen and what was so special.

Lamela was side on to the goal and seemingly about to curl the ball with his right foot. No. He somehow stepped over the ball with his right foot and struck it with his left!! How the hell did he get such power, curl and precision with his left foot planted on the floor and his right leg over the ball????

Astonishing [X(]

[warspite1]

Big game today - Man Utd and Chelsea - should be worth a watch!
