WATCH: Riyad Mahrez Scores Stunning Free-Kick For Algeria

Riyad Mahrez's sensational year isn't just confined to club level, as the PFA Player of The Year spectacularly proved during Algeria's African Cup Of Nations qualification victory over Lesotho.

The Leicester City winger netted a brace during the 6-0 thumping but it's safe to say this beauty was comfortably the more spectacular of his two strikes, as Mahrez effortlessly clipped a delightful free-kick into the top corner of the net, far beyond the reach of the helpless goalkeeper.

Arsenal fans must be watching that with a longing sense of what might have been.
