Riccardo Calafirori’s rocket against Manchester City is a contender for the Premier League’s Goal of the Month award for September.
The Italian defender marked his first start for us in sensational style, as he netted a wondergoal to pull us level at the home of the reigning champions and help us secure a battling 2-2 draw to maintain our unbeaten start.
Riccardo’s magical moment came in the 22nd minute at the Etihad Stadium. Thomas Partey played a quickly-taken free-kick down the left channel for Gabriel Martinelli to race onto, and he edged into the area before pulling the ball back to the Italian defender.
