#2 Two beautiful free-kicks, two breathtaking saves
Trending
In an age where goals from direct free kicks are becoming rarer by the day, we almost saw two this game – both in the exact same corner of the same goal – one in each half. The first half saw Fabianski turn Yaya Toure’s attempt around the corner with a stunning dive, leaving the Ivory Coast star with an incredulous expression on his face.
Gylfi Sigurdsson targeted the exact same spot in the second half from an even tighter angle and Caballero was lucky to see the ball out for a corner – his initial save having struck the post and rebounded off his glove again.
In a game with lots of attacking intent but little goal-mouth action, these stood out as shining lights.
