Juninho-esque.

Over the years we've been treated to so many sublime set-piece goals from some of the all-time greats.

Roberto Carlos scored some absolutely belting free-kicks, including that famously ridiculous swerving strike against France in 1997.

David Beckham was also an expert as well and curled in so many beauties in his illustrious career.

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo aren't too shabby at them either, especially Messi with his recent efforts.

And of course we cannot forget Juninho Pernambucano , who made his name in football by scoring stunning free-kicks from all sorts of angles and distances for the likes of Lyon.


He is widely considered to be the greatest free-kick takers of all-time and and a free-kick scored in a A-League match in Australia had shades of Juninho.

Melbourne Victory were 3-0 up when Brisbane Roar midfielder Dimitri Petratos produced an rasping strike into the top bins, reducing the deficit as the visitors looked to mount a comeback in the game.

To generate such power and dip at some 30 yards is out is absolutely outrageous and he hits the ball with such venom that it nearly bulges the net.

Lawrence Thomas in the Victory was completely rooted to the spot and even he would have sprawled across goal to try and save the free-kick, there was no chance of him keeping it out.

You can watch the stunning strike as many times as you see fit here:

Take a bow son. Juninho would be proud.
