Take a bow, Simone Zaza.
The Italian striker, often criticised for his failures in front of goal, made it two goals in two matches when he fired Valencia into the lead against Real Madrid on Wednesday with a thunderous strike just four minutes into the fixture.
He didn't appear to have many options when he received the ball in the box with his back to goal, but Zaza took advantage of the limited space before firing a volley into the top corner.
