VIDEO: Netbusting goal of the tournament contender from Radja Nainggolan opens scoring for Belgium

Lad’s got a strike on him!

For all the Chelsea fans thinking that all they had been chasing was an eccentric with a mohawk, it turns out that Radja Nainggolan is a hell of a player.

The Belgian midfielder already scored one cracker from outside the box in this tournament, a late winner against Sweden in the group stages.

But Nainggolan’s unstoppable thunderbolt against Wales in the quarter-finals may well be even more impressive.

After a frenetic opening from Marc Wilmots’ men, Belgium decided to catch their breath with some patient build-up play on the edge of the Welsh box.

But just as Wales had been lulled into a sense of security, Wayne Hennessy found himself picking the ball out of his net as the Roma man let fly with a downright ludicrous wallop into the top corner.
