Lorenzo De Silvestri gave Serie A fans a rare treat by scoring a header from outside the penalty area, something not seen for over a decade.
The Bologna full-back was in the right place at the right time to pounce on a poor Stefano Turati clearance and find the empty net from the edge of the D against Frosinone.
He became the first player to score a header from beyond the limits of the box in Serie A since Gennaro Gattuso in May 2011 for Milan against Cagliari.
How many of those do you see…?! 🤩
