Watch Chelsea's Thibaut Courtois score a wonder free-kick!

Chelsea's Thibaut Courtois might be one of the Premier League's top shot-stoppers but it turns out he's got an eye for goal, too.

The 24-year old swapped his goalkeeping drills for some set-piece action at the Blues' Cobham training ground - and he was captured scoring a pearler of a free-kick. 

Courtois used his left foot to bend a ball from around 25 yards out around a row of dummies and into top corner via the underside of the crossbar.

"Sometimes I score too!" he wrote on Twitter after showing his team-mates how it should be done.

Courtois has played a key role in Chelsea's title charge this term, starting every Premier League game and keeping 11 clean sheets for the leaders.

Declaring that Antonio Conte's 3-4-3 has been key to the Blues' resurgence, he recently told the Times of India: "The system is our secret; it not only gives cover for the goalkeeper but it's a good system for the team in general. 

"With the current run of wins, we can say we are doing better than expected after a bad season last year. We are top of the league with far more points than we had at this time last year, or even two years ago when we were champions in the end. So that says we are doing well.
