Free-kicks are about 'confidence' - Irankunda

Watford forward Nestory Irankunda is clearly enjoying life in the Championship, having scored another jaw-dropping free-kick in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Southampton.

That effort followed a high-quality set-piece strike to open the scoring in the 1-1 draw at Swansea City the week before.

But for 19-year-old Irankunda, it was just another day in the office.

"I've done it before and I'm very happy to get the goal," he told BBC Radio 3CR.

"It's about the confidence to be able to step up for the team and be able to do it in the moment.

"[It's] something I've worked on my whole career. I don't practise them as much as I used to but I've learned the technique."

Irankunda has been called up to the Australia squad ahead for September's internationals and is hoping to feature in the two upcoming friendlies against New Zealand.

"My main priority is to perform here and then build the confidence to hopefully go to the [2026] World Cup," he added.
