Brighton midfielder Diego Gomez scored from the halfway line against Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
Diego Gomez scored from near the halfway line in the seventh minute of Brighton's Premier League match against Crystal Palace at Amex Stadium on Sunday. The Brighton midfielder advanced just into Crystal Palace's half before launching the ball over goalkeeper Walter Benitez and into the net.
Gomez's strike revived memories of David Beckham's famous goal from a similar range, struck for Manchester United against Wimbledon on the opening day of the 1996-97 Premier League season. Beckham's goal remains one of English football's most celebrated strikes and brought him global recognition.
The goal put Brighton 2-0 ahead, and the team went on to score again three minutes later to make it 3-0 against what the reports describe as its biggest rival.
