Arsenal superkid Joel Campbell scores wonder goal against Spain

Arsenal whizkid Joel Campbell scored a spectacular goal in Costa Rica's friendly win over Spain.

The striker, 19, joined the Gunners in the summer before being loaned to French side Lorient after failing to earn a work permit.

His displays for Costa Rica at the Under-20 World Cup earlier this year impressed Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.

And he scored a brilliant long-range effort for the senior side to put the minnows 2-0 up against the world champions.

Spain eventually fought back to draw 2-2 thanks to goals from David Silva and David Villa.
