Player scores from halfway line...

[rcgills]

... for the 2nd time this season

This weekend:

Couple of months ago:

Both excellent goals and hit with power too (more so the second one) not just a long range lob over the keeper, the way he's hitting them I wouldn't be suprised to see him get more.

 

[Punter]

Class.
I agree, he'll surely be looking to get a hatrick of them now.

 

[rcgills]

You'd have to think opposition keepers will be under orders to stick close to their line at all times now though when they play against Real Sociedad

Just seen he also scored this beauty at the wrong end this season for Spain U21s. Quality backheeled lob over De Gea from 30 yards

 

[Punter]

He couldn't do that again if he tried a thousand times.

 

[slick]

He doesn't do things by halfs does he, well i suppose he does but you know what i mean.

It must be neigh impossible for a keeper to stay on his line I'd say as they have to be alert to everything just like Reina was yesterday covering sloppy back passes and covering any balls played in behind the defenders, but I suppose as soon as he picks the ball up near the half way line then there's no reason the keeper shouldn't take a few backwards steps' just in case' but the thing then is he's leaving a wide open space which the player can knock the ball into for a forward to run onto, he could be caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.
