VIDEO: Vintage Ruben Neves! Ex-Premier League midfielder scores long-range stunner reminiscent of Wolves days to help Al-Hilal ease into AFC Champions League quarter-finals

Saudi Pro League

Al Khaleej

Al Hilal

Neves' long-range strikes have become something of a trademark, particularly in his time at Wolves, and he repeated the trick for Hilal on Thursday evening, against Iranian side Sepahan en route to a 3-1 win. Neves took aim from distance, as he chested a clearance into the air, and unleashed a superb volley that flew into the top corner.
