Watch this fantastic chip from Israel's Tal Ben Chaim in their 3-1 defeat to Italy

Italy's legendary Gianluigi Buffon was beaten by a fine chip from Israel's Ben Chaim as the Azzurri won their World Cup Qualifier.

The Maccabi Tel Aviv winger - who adds a 'C' to the start of his surname to distinguish from fellow countryman and former Portsmouth defender Tal Ben Haim - caught the Juventus 'keeper off-guard as his side lost 3-1 against Italy. 

After some poor clearing from Giorgio Chiellini, Brighton's Tomer Hemed headed the ball into the path of his team-mate who raced to the top right-hand corner of the box and hit a delightful chip over the top of Buffon.

It was a bad evening all around for Chellini who was sent off for two yellow cards in the 55th minute, although on the replays, it looked like a harsh decision from the referee and the defender will now miss the key clash with Spain in Turin next month.

Elsewhere in the game, Graziano Pelle's goal and Antonio Candreva's penalty had Giampiero Ventura's visitors two up after half an hour of the Group G clash.

Ciro Immobile, a second-half substitute, then sealed the victory with an emphatic finish seven minutes from time.
