Watch Gonzalo Higuain’s stunning opener against Roma

Rafa Benitez's job might be on the line at home against AS Roma Saturday afternoon, and Gonzalo Higuain is doing all he can to keep the Spaniard employed. Just three minutes into the match, Napoli's No. 9 came up huge with this impressive strike.

Not only was the finish acrobatic and gorgeous, but the timing of the run Higuain made was just short of amazing. It’s tough to get that free while staying onside. There won’t be too many goals more impressive than this one scored this weekend.
