A Sunday League player has caught the attention of football legend Robin van Persie after scoring a remarkable volley, drawing comparisons to the Dutchman's own playing style.
The goal, which was shared by Sunday Shouts FC on social media, showcased the player's exceptional technique as he struck the ball first time from the edge of the box. Van Persie, who has experienced success with both Manchester United and Arsenal, expressed his admiration for the goal with emojis, highlighting the quality of the strike.
Van Persie, now 40, retired from professional football in 2019 after a storied career that saw him win the Premier League Golden Boot with both Arsenal and Manchester United. He is currently contributing to the development of young talents as a co-head coach for Feyenoord's U18 side.
