The Premier League never ceases to amaze the audience. In the first game of the current season, Liverpool went to the Emirates and were a goal down as they earned a free kick almost 30 yards out of the goal.

The Reds’ little magician took it upon himself to get his team back, and he did it in the most spectacular way possible. Scoring a goal that his former captain Steven Gerrard would be proud of, the Brazilian’s kick saw the ball easily beat the wall and even the brilliant Petr Cech was left stunned as he could not reach it in time as the ball buried itself into the top left corner.

Coutinho is a master of long rangers, but even he would place that goal somewhere in his top 3 hits of all time. A brilliant goal to watch, this was easily one of the best free kicks of the year and the fact that it beat a legend between the posts makes its value higher.
