Arsenal v Chelsea - Premier League
Marcos Alonso possesses a lethal left-foot

Since arriving at the Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2016, Marcos Alonso has developed a reputation as one of the deadliest free-kick takers in European football. The Spain international is a regular set-piece taker for the Antonio Conte’s side and has scored some stunning goals with his magical left-foot.

The Chelsea left-back/wing-back has scored 4 goals from direct free-kicks in 22 attempts, which comes down to a stunning conversion rate of 18.18%.

The double he scored against Tottenham Hotspur at the start of the 2017/18 season was simply an outstanding effort. He hoodwinked one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League, Hugo Lloris, twice in a game.
