AS Monaco striker Radamel Falcao scored a David Beckham-style goal from 50 yards in a French league cup match against CAEN on Tuesday.
Monaco already had a 1-0 advantage thanks to a Guido Carrillo goal in the first half but Falcao doubled Monaco's lead in the 85th minute.
Falcao received a short pass from teammate Kévin N'Doram just outside the centre circle. He took one touch, spotted CAEN goalkeeper Brice Samba off his line, and then fired an opportunistic long-range strike beyond Samba's reaches and into the net.

Falcao's goal sealed a 2-0 win for Monaco and guaranteed the team's progression into the quarter-finals of the tournament.
The 31-year-old was recently named one of the most in-form centre forwards in European football this season, according to research conducted by Swiss-based think tank CIES Football Observatory.
The Colombian's must-see goal was his 19th of the season.
