That is outrageous.

“The free-kick, it doesn’t matter who you are or who you are playing for, that is a world-class moment to execute it in that style,” Gerrard told reporters, per The Guardian, after the match. “It was a superb bit of magic.”

Remarkably, Tavernier - who, we’ll say it again, is a *right-back* - now has 17 goals in all competitions for Rangers this season.

In 27 matches, the 29-year-old has also registered 13 assists. That’s 30 goal contributions in 27 games from a right-sided full-back. Extraordinary numbers.

Tavernier is currently outscoring many of Europe’s most revered players.

At the time of writing, he has scored more goals than Tottenham duo Harry Kane (15 goals) and Son Heung-min (13 goals), Juventus superstar Cristiano Ronaldo (14 goals), Barcelona legend Lionel Messi (eight goals), Paris Saint-German ace Neymar (nine goals) and his teammate Kylian Mbappe (12 goals).

Tavernier has even scored more goals this season than Bayern Munich’s prolific centre-forward Robert Lewandowski (16 goals).

At this rate, the European Golden Shoe could be heading to Ibrox at the end of the season!
