Football GIFs: Gareth Bale Scores Two Sweet Doppleganger Freekicks vs Lyon
By Chris Wright
Lyon and coach Remi Garde did an absolute number on Gareth Bale last night, playing deep and dense, shutting him down quickly and suffocating the Welsh whippet in open play – yet he still managed to come away with two goals, thanks to a duo of deliciously dipping doppleganger freekicks.
Uno…
Two…
That’s some mighty fine trajectory you got there Gareth m’lad!
While we’re on the subject, Lyon’s goal – an angled rasper from 19-year-old left-back Samuel Umtiti – wasn’t half bad either…
Yowser! With contact that clean, we bet he didn’t even feel that one leave his foot. Lovely strike.

All 3 goals were terrific.
lol at the 4th?/5th?/6th? official takin a dump at the end of the vid.
I think Umtiti’s goal absolutely eclipsed Bale’s. It’s the best strike I’ve seen all season, shame everyone’s got Bale boners at the moment, or this would have been the one to grace the front page.
