It may be just a few weeks into the Serie A season, but Fabio Quagliarella may have already scored the goal of the year.
Things were already going well for his Sampdoria side against visitors Napoli, as a first-half brace from Gregoire Defrel had the hosts up 2-0.
Quagliarella, who assisted Defrel’s second, put an exclamation point on the victory in the 75th minute of the contest.
Off a free-kick that was sent off the wall, defender Bartosz Bereszynski decided to drive a hard low cross into the area. Quagliarella, with his back toward goal, managed not only to get to the cross but also turn it into a magical finish.
