AS Monaco striker Radamel Falcao scored a David Beckham-style goal from 40 yards in a French league cup match against Caen on Tuesday.
Monaco already had a 1-0 advantage thanks to a Guido Carrillo goal in the first half but Falcao doubled Monaco's lead in the 85th minute.
Falcao received a short pass from teammate Kévin N'Doram just outside the centre circle. He took one touch, spotted Caen goalkeeper Brice Samba off his line, and then fired an opportunistic long-range strike beyond Samba's reaches and into the net.
