Stoke City midfielder Joe Allen laid the hammer to a loose ball outside the 18 in Wales’ World Cup qualifier at Austria on Thursday.
The former Liverpool and Swansea man, 26, made his second international goal a beauty with this rip, and Wales led twice.

Allen, however, didn’t have a terrific game despite the goal. Potters teammate Marko Arnautovic twice leveled things for Austria, including one-off an Allen-inspired turnover.
The midfielder came out of the match injured in the second half, with the score 2-2.
What a rip, though.
What a hit from Joe Allen for Wales' first goal of the night. #WCQ https://t.co/CuXclD2JOi
