Robert Earnshaws free kick

Thu Sep 24, 2015 4:51 pm

Is this free-kick by Cardiff City hero Robert Earnshaw the worst ever taken?

It looked ambitious with Robert Earnshaw not even in the shot when he ran up to try his luck from miles out from a set piece for Vancouver Whitecaps.

And so it proved with the former Cardiff City favourite producing an effort that would have been more befitting of Twickenham on Saturday night than the MLS.

The 34-year-old certainly got enough power behind his shot... but lacked a little direction.

It resulted in a comical free-kick that finished with fans at the back of the stand at CenturyLink Field where the Seattle Sounders defeated Earnshaw's Whitecaps 3-0 in the CONCACAF Champions League clash.
