A FIFA 22 glitch has gone viral after a Career Mode player took a free-kick INSIDE the box, with the opponent's wall behind the net.
EA Sports' title is currently in early access and fans can play 10 hours if they're signed up to the EA Play subscription service.
Due to the game being in early access, there are a number of glitches being found across various modes. Step up, @dannywardbfc.
In a clip shared to Twitter, Blackpool's Luke Garbutt manages to score a 'no-look' free-kick from the strangest position.
Revolutionary scenes at Colchester as I win a free kick after getting taken down in the box which doesn't make any fucking sense, Colchester place their wall behind the goal completely and Garbutt does a smooth no look goal pic.twitter.com/9mhA3CtpAC

Danny says he was fouled by Colchester United's goalkeeper inside the box but was given the free-kick instead of a penalty.
What then followed was Colchester's defenders deciding to form a wall... miles off the pitch.
Poor Shamal George had no idea what to do.
If that wasn't weird enough, Garbutt stepped forward and managed to lash the ball in with his heel.
Sadly, Blackpool still bowed out of the Carabao Cup via penalties.
Gamers have reacted to the glitch and they think it could be the strangest so far.
See the new FIFA has been drastically improved... https://t.co/gnebH9DTwS
