Subri's stunning free-kick wins FIFA Puskas Award

Malaysian attacker Mohd Faiz Subri has won the FIFA Puskas Award for 2016.

The 29-yaer-old's winning goal was scored in February for Penang against Pahang in the Malaysia Super League, an unstoppable free-kick which swerved incredibly and flew into the top corner.

Subri was named as the winner at Monday's ceremony in Zurich, beating fellow finalists Marlone and Daniuska Rodriguez, with Brazil legend Ronaldo presenting the award.

"Honestly it never crossed my mind that I would be at this level and be able to stand with world-class players," said Subri.

"I would like to say thank you to my team, my coach, my family, my father, my mother and all the people who voted me - thank you very much.
