Christian Benteke Bends Aston Villa To Early Lead

Christian Benteke shows off some nasty skill with this curling goal to post Aston Villa to an early 1-0 over Manchester United.

Christian Benteke put Aston Villa up 1-0 in the 18th minute against Manchester United with the flash of skill you see above. Fabian Delph earned a free kick and hit a good ball in to the penalty area that Benteke settled with his chest. After gaining control, he worked his way slightly to the middle of the area and found a lane to curl this wonderful strike through and into the far corner. David de Gea couldn't do anything but watch and hope it went wide.
