REAL MADRID star Federico Valverde scored an incredible long-range goal in his side’s win over Sevilla.
The Uruguayan midfielder was outside the box on the right-hand side when he received the ball from Marco Asensio, took one touch and fired into the top corner from distance.
Valverde’s right footed strike left Sevilla goalkeeper Bono rooted to the spot as he scored the last goal of the game making it 3-1 to the LaLiga holders.
The win extended Real Madrid’s lead at the top of the table to six points but second place Barcelona have a game in hand.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side are undefeated this season and it’s not the first time they have been helped by a Valverde screamer.
The 24-year-old is in fine form scoring seven goals this campaign and he has netted a number of powerful long shots.
