Robbie Brady may not have secured the Premier League move he would have wanted on transfer deadline day, but he didn’t let it get him down.
The Norwich man will remain so in spite of interest from Leicester but he showed just why he was being linked with a switch to the Premier League champions with a trademark free kick.
Starting for the Republic of Ireland against Oman, Brady stood confidently over the dead ball and breathed life into it with his wand of a left foot.
07: Goal!
Ireland 1-0 Oman.
What a strike from Robbie Brady! #ThanksRobbie https://t.co/2XZrEnzE9t— eir Sport (@eirSport) August 31, 2016
The wall didn’t jump and was sorely punished as the ball nestled in the net.
And everybody made the exact same joke on a night when captain Robbie Keane bids farewell to the national team.
Wrong Robbie.
