Mateo Kovacic is not a player who scores many goals, let’s be honest.
But the Croatia star hasn’t missed out on his chance in this international break, and the confidence of scoring one clearly made him believe in his ability to shoot from outside the box – not something he’s not known for usually.
Let’s hope he can carry this upsurge in goalscoring form back to the Premier League this weekend. It’s going to be a weird, post-international gameweek, and we may need something special.
