Ashley Young rolls back the years with milestone free-kick 🎯

Take a bow, Ashley Young.

The Premier League legend has taken it upon himself to put Everton in the driver’s seat against Wolves on Wednesday.

In a true blast from the past, the Englishman stepped up to a dead ball from outside the box and found the bottom right corner to beat goalkeeper Jose Sa for 1-0.

This means Young is the oldest player in Premier League history to score a direct free-kick (39 years, 148 days).

It was also his 50th goal in the competition, and he is the fourth-oldest scorer in the English top flight.

Like fine wine.
