Video of the Week - Figueroa scores from midfield

And you thought only David Beckham did this. On Saturday against Stoke, Wigan's Maynor Figueroa scored a brilliant free-kick from his own half. Figueroa's awareness here was impressive, but the precision of this strike has to be seen to be believed.

Though the wondergoal gave Wigan a 2-1 lead, Ryan Shawcross leveled two minutes later. When Hugo Rodallega had his 90' PK saved, the teams were destined to finish level. Nevertheless, even though Wigan has been forgettable this season at 14th position in the table, this strike is destined to live on in our collective memory for far longer.
