VINE: Carlos Tevez does a great Pirlo impression from free-kick

The bearded one is passing on his knowledge

He never did this for West Ham

Andrea Pirlo makes scoring from free-kicks ridiculously easy. His languid style and no-fuss demeanour means when he spins the ball to the back of the net it’s all the more remarkable. Well it seems he’s been passing on a few tips to some of his Juventus team-mates after this lovely effort from Carlos Tevez last night.

The Old Lady of Turin and Roma clashed in a top of the table clash last night’s Serie A action at the Stadio Olimpico, but it wasn’t until this sweet strike that the game livened up a bit.

Vassilis Torosidis received his second yellow card for a foul on the edge of the box after 64 minutes and to add insult to their reduced numbers, Roma conceded from the subsequent free-kick taken by the Argentine.

Roma did manage to equalise  through Seydou Keita but it means they are still nine points behind the league leaders after Tevez scored his first ever free-kick for the champions elect at this stage
