Leganes' Gabriel scored an incredible effort from the halfway line as the La Liga club edged their way towards safety

Leganes midfielder Gabriel scored a stunning goal from the halfway line as his side beat Real Betis 4-0 on Monday.

The La Liga club edged themselves closer to safety from relegation with the victory, and it included a moment of magic from the Brazilian.

He stole the ball back just inside the opposition half before going for goal, hitting a fantastic effort that curled through the air before beating Real Betis goalkeeper Antonio Adan.

It led to wild celebrations from the home fans with scarves waving in the air as Gabriel went over to celebrate with them and blowing kisses towards the camera.

Leganes were already 2-0 ahead in the match before the midfielder scored in the 65th minute, with Alexander Szymanowski and Nabil El Zhar netting early in the first half.

Szymanowski netted the fourth in the 80th minute as Leganes went six points clear of the drop zone with two games of the La Liga season to play.
