The former Manchester United striker curled his effort over the wall and into the far corner.

After footage of the goal went viral on social media, fans went into meltdown.
One said: “Worldie of a free kick there.”
Another added: “What a player!”
And one Twitter user asked: “Cracking finish… but why was the keeper standing behind his wall?”
Former United team-mate Rio Ferdinand tweeted: “Wazzzaaaaaaaa.”
