Video: Martin Skrtel dribbles from own half to score fine solo goal
The stopper scored a fair few goals from set-pieces during his time at Liverpool – but not like this.
Fenerbahce lost 3-2 to Konyaspor in the Turkish Super Lig on Friday evening, but Skrtel had given his side hope after making it 1-1.
Picking the ball up well inside his own half in the 20th minute, the Slovakian defender found space in front of him... and then kept finding it.
After his mazy run he decided to take a chance on himself from 25 yards – a decision which proved a good one as his strike evaded goalkeeper Serkan Kirintili and nestled into the bottom corner.
