If ever there was a way to impress your new club - this is it!

After being released by West Brom at the end of last season, Liam Ridgewell headed Stateside and to the MLS with Portland Timbers.

And during his side's clash with New England Revolution, the 30-year-old delivered a sensational solo goal.

With the Timbers trailing 1-0, Ridgewell - who also played for Blues and Villa - picked up the ball on the half-way line, sliced through the opposition defence and fired low into the bottom corner.

His bizarre celebration shows he even took himself by surprise and no wonder - in over 70 appearances for the Baggies he scored just twice.
