VIDEO: Winger scores 25-yard screamer in Ligue 1

The 19-year-old picked up the ball on the left wing and darted inside, beating two players, before unleashing a powerful effort into the bottom corner

We've already had a number of contenders for Ligue 1 Goal of the Season this weekend, with Ismaila Sarr's second-minute strike for Metz up there with the best.

The 19-year-old picked the ball up in the opening phases of play during his side's league meeting with Saint-Etinne on Sunday, initially in the wide-left area.

With a dip of the shoulder, Sarr then drove inside and let loose from well outside the penalty box, leaving Saint-Etienne goalkeeper Stephane Ruffier no chance of keeping the ball out, such was the pace of the strike.
