Joselu’s overhead kick secured a pre-season win over Manchester United in Houston.
The Spanish forward added an acrobatic second for Real Madrid, after an early goal from Jude Bellingham which should’ve been ruled offside.
It was a great goal from Joselu, to be fair. It was have Stoke City fans scratching their heads wondering where he kept that level of brilliance during his time at the Britannia Stadium.

Brandon Williams looks guilty for not getting closer to his man, but we’re not going to lose any extra sleep over conceded goals in pre-season matches.
While the Spanish giants were slicker in the first, United played with more tempo after Erik ten Hag made nine changes.
It’s a defeat in Houston for United, but ultimately it means more minutes in the tank for some of our key players.
We hope Kobbie Mainoo’s injury isn’t serious (the same applies for Scott McTominay who took a knock late on).
