Arsenal youngster Joel Ideho took inspiration from David Beckham by scoring a wonderful long-range goal in a pre-season friendly against St Albans City.
Ideho was playing for Arsenal ’s Under-23 side against the National League South team on Monday. The 19-year-old enjoyed a good day out, scoring the game’s only goal in a narrow 1-0 win – but it was the nature of the strike which caused a stir online.
He won possession on the left side of midfield with a strong tackle before cutting inside and beating two St Albans players to open up some space by the centre-circle. Ideho took one look up, and rather than pick out a team-mate with a pass, he decided to try the audacious.
