Mateo Kovacic makes a habit of scoring unusual goals, and this one might top them all.
Following on from his standing volley against Man U last season, he’s just belted in a kind of instep curler, striking a tackled ball first time.
Really, you have to watch it to get your head around it. But it’s given us the lead against a really good team who are playing at home. What an effort.

A worldie out of nowhere…
