David Beckham scored his first goal for the LA Galaxy last night during a home game in Carson, CA. The goal secured his team’s place in the SuperLiga finals.

It was the first time David had been included in the starting line-up since the Beckhams much-hyped move to America. He had played just 37 minutes in two previous games since he joined the Major League Soccer team on July 13 because of a nagging left ankle injury.

He had even missed two games prompting boos from fans hoping to see the former England captain and world’s most famous footballer actually play.

The 32-year-old England midfielder, who was named captain for the match, curled home a trademark free-kick after 28 minutes to give the Galaxy the lead.

Cue wild celebrations with Beckham mobbed by team-mates including goalkeeper Joe Cannon, who ran across more than half the pitch to hug him. Blue, gold and white confetti fluttered through the air, as Beckham waved to the crowd in acknowledgement.

Beck’s oldest son, Brooklyn, went wild in the stands after his dad’s goal, while wifey Victoria clapped politely.
