ALFIE MAY scored TWO goal of the season contenders in Cheltenham’s 3-0 thrashing of Peterborough.
But one outrageous effort in particular will live long in the memory.
The result moved Cheltenham seven points clear of the relegation zone and dealt Darren Ferguson’s side another blow in their play-off ambitions.
And it was May stole the show with a pair brilliant strikes.
The best of them came completely out of the blue – a long throw down the line was flicked on to the striker, who took one touch before attempting an outrageous effort on goal.
From just inside the Peterborough half – and all the way over on the touchline – May struck the ball perfectly on the volley.

His team-mates and whole crowd then watched in disbelief as it floated towards the net.
The ball looped over Posh goalkeeper Will Norris – who had been on the edge of his box – before bouncing into the back of the net.
Norris desperately tried to claw at it but couldn’t stop the ball crossing the line.
And May wasn’t done there, despite scoring the goal of his life.

May himself was delighted with the effort, hailing it a “crazy” goal.
