Rumours of Robin van Persie’s demise have been exaggerated.
The Dutchman hasn’t been enjoying the best of times since trading Manchester for Turkey, but his dead-ball prowess has not deserted him.
Van Persie’s free-kicks have served him well in big games in the past, and this strike for Fenerbahce against Kayserispor is no exception.

You can see from the celebration how much the goal meant to the former Manchester United and Arsenal striker, who scored an own goal as the Netherlands missed out on a Euro 2016 berth in midweek.
It was his fourth goal for Fener, and he will hope it propels him to greater things as the season progresses.
