Salford midfielder Dennis Politic scored a goal David Beckham would have been proud of as the former England captain watched the National League club for the first time since becoming a co-owner.

The 18-year-old, who is on loan from Bolton, took aim from 45 yards to lob Dover Athletic goalkeeper Mitch Walker in a style reminiscent of Beckham's goal against Wimbledon in 1996.

Although Politic had given his team a ninth-minute lead, Beckham's presence in the stands didn't inspire a Salford victory, with National League outfit losing 3-1 at home to Dover.
