Florian Lejeune was not a renowned set-piece specialist during his injury-hit spell with Newcastle United. However, the Magpies defender has surprisingly opened his account at new club Rayo Vallecano with a free-kick.
Lejeune netted the equaliser in the 75th minute during the La Liga side's eventual 2-1 defeat at Osasuna on Sunday. The centre-back was handed dead-ball responsibilities for the free-kick close to the left corner of the penalty area.
Lejeune's strike looked to be heading for the centre of the goal, but moved right and bamboozled goalkeeper Sergio Herrera, who had taken a step in the opposite direction. The 31-year-old was mobbed by jubilant team-mates, but Osasuna had the last laugh as Ruben Garcia netted a winner in the 90th minute.
