Porto full-back scores with luckiest lob of the season

He didn't know too much about this one

Gareth Makim

Fortune favours the brave, they say.

We’re not sure if Porto’s Alex Sandro was necessarily brave but he gets ten out of ten for persistence, scoring his first goal of the season in the most fortuitous fashion.

After nutmegging his man, Sandro charged into the penalty area but couldn’t reach the ball before the covering defender. Luckily for Sandro, his clearance caromed against him before looping over the hopelessly stranded goalkeeper.

We see that sheepish grin on your face, Sandro, we see you.
