Now, you're not going to believe this after watching his goal from tonight, but Jeison Murillo is a defender.

He really is, we promise. Can defenders score unstoppable bicycle kicks of the Andy Carroll variety? Yes. Should they even be trying to do so? Well that's a different argument altogether. Murillo, a 24-year-old Colombian who joined Internazionale from Granada in 2015, had yet to score all season when Stefano Pioli's team welcomed Bologna to the San Siro. Such a statistic might deter some players from trying speculative efforts on goal. Certainly it might deter a centre-back from letting rip with a first-time bike from around the penalty spot. Well, aren't you grateful it didn't? https://twitter.com/slimanebelharet/status/821457986778517507 His full-throttle overhead was a sight to behold but it was dangerously close to his man-markers head. This might stand in Serie A but, as Zlatan Ibrahimovic discovered, does not in the Premier League: To say people were stunned would be an understatement. https://twitter.com/KristAdelMihajl/status/821487606500392960 https://twitter.com/_JamesGomez/status/821461279634325505 Simply outrageous. Over to you, Andy Carroll. Catch up with this week's episode of Football Friday Live:
