Erik Lamela, Christian Benteke Scored Brilliant Bending Goals in the EPL Today
By Mike Cardillo
Curling, bending goals have been the order of the day so far this round in the EPL. Aston Villa’s Christian Benteke offered up this excellent curled strike with his left foot inside the box to beat David De Gea. Later, in the Tottenham-Burnley match, Erik Lamela scored a similar goal, albeit from further out. Saturday’s goal by Lamela — his first in Premier League play for the club — certainly had a lesser degree of difficulty than his rabona earlier this season.
So … which was a better goal? An arbitrary question like that certainly deserves an equally arbitrary poll, right?
