Channeling his inner-Cristiano Ronaldo, Bebe lashed the ball past the goalkeeper and into the top corner of the net with a surefire goal of the tournament contender.

While there were doubts over the goalkeeping of Mozambique's Ernan Siluane, there's no doubting the quality of the strike.

While Bebe is a top star for Cape Verde, he's best-known for his ill-fated spell at Old Trafford.

The winger moved to Manchester United in 2010, aged 20, after being raised by the church having been abandoned by his parents as a young child in Portugal.

After nearly representing Portugal's national homeless squad, Bebe joined Vitoria de Guimaraes before signing for Man United for a fee of £7.4million, reportedly rejecting moves to Real Madrid and Benfica.

The move reportedly came by after Carlos Queiroz recommended him to then-boss, Sir Alex Ferguson.

Bebe was limited to just seven first team appearances for the Red Devils, enduring a number of underwhelming loan spells before joining Benfica.

However it was a move to Spain in 2018 that saw him kickstart his career, with Bebe - now 33 - currently playing for La Liga side Rayo Vallecano where he's scored four goals already this term.

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

Image
http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
