Hardly what you might call his stock-in-trade, Martin Skrtel scored a superb solo effort in Fenerbahce’s Friday night Super Lig outing against Konyaspor.
Picking the ball up in his own half, the ex-Liverpool centre-back embarked on a powerful charge up-field, bursting past two or three defenders before lashing a shot past the goalkeeper from 20 yards…
Turns out there really is a first time for everything.
Unfortunately, Skrtel’s heroics couldn’t prevent Fener from sliding to a 3-2 home defeat, leaving them a full 10 points behind league leaders Besiktas.
