Manchester City fullback Leroy Sane was overjoyed with his free-kick against Hoffenheim on Wednesday night.

The German secured a come-from-behind 2-1 win over the Bundesliga side with two goals, including a stunning free-kick, which he says was a product of efforts on the training pitch.

Speaking to Manchester City's official website following the game, Sane said: "After training I practise a lot and try to score some free-kicks. Today I just thought we had this moment, and I just tried it."

Asked if it was the best free-kick he had ever scored, the 22-year-old added: "Yes, I think in my professional career I've never scored a free-kick, that was the first one, so it was the best."
