Watch: All the angles of Gareth Bale’s outrageous goal
Here’s Gareth Bale doing Gareth Bale things.
The Wales star scored a simply outrageous goal to add to his sublime collection rolling back the years in LAFC’s 4-1 victory overnight.
With a goal reminiscent of his famous run and finish for Real Madrid against Barcelona, he picked the ball up on the wing just over the halfway line, hit the accelerator pedal and coasted past a shocked defender to score a stunning goal.
Bale notched LAFC’s fourth goal after coming up on a second-half substitute in the 60th minute of his club’s away trip to Real Salt Lake.
To say that the Welshman is having the time of his life Stateside would be an understatement.
This was his second goal for the club and another wonderful strike.
Full of confidence and getting back to full fitness, Bale reminded everybody that he will be handful for anyone both in MLS and the forthcoming World Cup.
Enjoy all the angles of Bale’s beautiful goal…

I worry that playing in the USA is not ideal preparation for the World Cup.
It is 30-32 degrees out there as compared to 35 in Qatar and 25 here and at least he is getting some game time in. Better than sitting on a bench in Madrid.
There’s always a risk that he’s too good for that league and won’t get the class of opposition that he had playing in Spain. On the other hand, he’s got the opportunity to put himself about a bit and learn new kinds of magic between now and November. And he looks totally mentally unencumbered since he got away from the arrogant sods running Real madrid. His goal against the Salt Lake City team was a beautiful thing to behold.
Bale scored in the 87th minute, and today Ramsey scored in the 78th minute for Nice.
