Incredible Free Kick Is Amplified By Beer-Chugging Celebration

The legend of 37-year-old Swedish midfielder Kennedy Bakircioglu grew today after the Hammarby IF legend hammered a free kick in the 79th minute of a 3-0 victory over Goteborg before celebrating by catching a beer and chugging it.

What’s incredible is that the goal is every bit as good as the celly. What a hit.

His afternoon also saw him join a select group of Spaniards to have made 250 appearances in England’s top flight — only Chelsea’s Cesc Fabregas, goalkeeper Pepe Reina (now at Milan) and current City assistant coach Mikel Arteta have accomplished the same feat.
