Former Premier League star Jonjo Shelvey scores wondergoal just like David Beckham and Harry Kane while playing for Turkish side Caykur Rizespor

  • Jonjo Shelvey scored his first goal for Turkish club Caykur Rizespo on Sunday
  • The 31-year-old scored from the half way line in the first five minutes of the game

Jonjo Shelvey scored his first goal for Turkish club Caykur Rizespor on Sunday afternoon and it was certainly one he will remembers.  

The former Liverpool midfielder scored from inside his own half to give Caykur Rizespor the advantage over Istanbulspor in the fifth minute of the game. 

Shelvey received the ball from his Mithat Pala inside his own half, took a touch and realised Istanbulspor goalkeeper David Raagaard Jensen was off his line. 

The 31-year-old took his opportunity and went for goal from distance – finding the back of the net from inside his own half. 

The goal drew similarities to the time David Beckham scored for Manchester United from the halfway line at Wimbledon on the opening day of the 1996-1997 season.

England captain Harry Kane also scored from inside his own half during Bayern Munich’s 8-0 victory over Darmstadt in October.

Shelvey put pause on his time at the City Ground in September – having only arrived at the club in January this year, after pleading with his former boss Eddie Howe to allow him to leave Newcastle.

Reluctantly, the English manager permitted Shelvey to leave St James’ Park, with the midfielder having only amassed three appearances for the Magpies at the start of the 2022-23 Premier League campaign.

He had hoped for a ‘fresh start’ at Nottingham Forest but again he struggled to get game time under Steve Cooper, making eight appearances for the first IX.

His absence from the side came after reports suggested that he had been left unhappy with the manager’s decision to drop him from Forest’s visit to Liverpool last season.

He was told to ‘stay at home’ by the Garibaldi boss, who was unimpressed by his attitude and performances in training but afterwards quashed any claims that there was ill feeling between the pair.

Shelvey notably did not travel with Forest to their pre-season training camp in Spain earlier this summer, and decided to play out the remainder of the season with Turkish side Rizespor who currently sit 10th in the Super Lig. 

The 31-year-old took his opportunity and went for goal from distance – finding the back of the net from inside his own half within the first five minutes
