Nicola Sansone scored a fantastic goal from the halfway line for Villarreal as they beat Real Sociedad 2-1 in La Liga

Villarreal forward Nicola Sansone scored a stunning long-range strike during his side's 2-1 win over Real Sociedad on Sunday.

Alexandre Pato missed a penalty after a quarter of an hour for the Yellow Submarine before Sansone opened the scoring with a cool finish from Roberto Soriano's disguised pass.

And he added a second with a 60-yard strike that caught Real Sociedad goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli off his line in the 25th minute.
