West Ham United's Enner Valencia netted a brace in a 3-1 victory at the Vitality Stadium, one of which was a brilliant free kick. Teammate Dimitri Payet had scored one in the same game, and Valencia bettered it.

It was from a position from where many would have whipped a ball into the box. But Valencia deceived goalkeeper Artur Boruc. He got it over the wall with ease and rendered Boruc helpless. The angle was tight, but he made it look easy.

The technique was top class, reminiscent of a David Luiz free kick. Valencia, however couldn't produce such moments consistently, which led to him leaving West Ham for Everton.
