London: David Beckham brought back memories of his heyday with a trademark wonder goal from fully 70 yards on Monday. The American players and fans were surprised to see the wonder goal.

The LA Galaxy star let fly with Kansas City keeper Kevin Hartman caught upfield looking for a last-minute equaliser. Beckham took a couple of touches before belting the ball with his incomparable right foot into an empty net to seal a 3-1 win.

The goal brought back memories of Beckham’s 50-yard wonder strike for Manchester United against Wimbledon in August 1996.

LA striker Landon Donovan said: “I can’t imagine anyone else scoring that kind of goal.”

“He does it 10 or 15 times a day in training,” The Sun quoted Galaxy pal Chris Klein as saying.

England midfielder Becks, who is likely to face the USA at Wembley on Wednesday, loves scoring long-range goals.
