GIF: Nicklas Bendtner finally hits the target, albeit in a game of red-arse

The man you'd bank on missing actually nails it

All Nicklas Bendtner had to do all along was visualise a bent-over man on the goal line.

The Dane struck the most accurate shot of his (seldom) hot and (almost always) cold career when he took part in a game that we all remember from our youth.

The former Arsenal forward’s striking was questioned by Danish talk show host Anders Breinholt whose challenge was accepted by Bendtner.

And the Wolfsburg man nailed it to be fair.

But, when you take a gander at the longer video. It unsurprisingly took Bendtner more than one chance to hit his man.
