Maxi Rodriguez's chest down and volley for Argentina to beat Mexico in extra time in Leipzig at the World Cup in 2006 was some goal. Cristiano Ronaldo's flashing volley to score against his old club Manchester United for Juventus in the Champions League was in the net before you could blink. But I think I'll go for Gareth Bale's overhead kick for Real Madrid against Liverpool in Kiev. To score a goal like that in the Champions League Final - wow.
There was early use of the review when Bournemouth had a Josh King effort in the 22th minute chalked off after VAR ruled that the ball had struck Philip Billing's arm in the approach.

United coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer suggested he had been man of the match and credited his growth on a consistent spell in the team where he has formed a good understanding with another maturing midfielder - Scott McTominay.

That could offer an opportunity for Mauriss' camp to capitalise should the bid fall through. So, in the meantime, it is all eyes back on Premier League chief executive Richard Masters and its board. It will make the call on whether the prospective owners have broken any laws and meet the required standards to protect the league's reputation and image. Sources have said that although Bin Salman is the chair of PIF, he is not involved with its day-to-day running, so questions about Saudi Arabia's human rights record are not relevant to the bid.

Nantes were in a sticky patch over October and November with just one league win across the two months but they have managed to get into the festive spirit with two wins in their last three games. One of them came last week as they edged Dijon 1-0 in a tight battle at home.

He has had a lot of money to spend but it's been like running in quicksand. It's not going to get any better. The one thing he can't complain about is he's had the money to spend, he's brought players in and he's had time to mould his side. It's the manner of the loss at the weekend. It was Sam Allardyce football - desperate stuff. I can understand the Everton fans who are saying we have had enough and if you carry on we could really be in a relegation scrap.

Expect open game for goal more. GL
We sort of feel that our backs are against the wall," Rose told the BBC. Conversations were being had before people outside of football were commenting. I've been on the phone to (Liverpool captain) Jordan Henderson and he's working so hard to come up with something. It was just not needed for people who are not involved in football to tell footballers what they should do with their money.
He knew the squad needed strengthening to challenge properly. Video - 'Most challenging time at Tottenham' - Lloris01:11 So they turned to Mourinho, a man who always causes massive problems.

The tournament, played every two years, was switched to June-July last year when it was played in Egypt, avoiding disruption to the European club season but provoking concerns about high temperatures.

I lost weight and then later on I lost my hair, my eyebrows. I started painting my eyebrows - my daughters were helping me to do that. When you meet people you don't want them to look at you and say 'poor you'. I just wanted to be treated like a normal person. I wasn't fighting a battle with cancer because cancer, in my opinion, is too strong an enemy. I felt I was on a journey with an unwanted travel companion.
Media playback is not supported on this device 'One of those awful afternoons' - Steve Bruce on Leicester loss The Magpies have been left short defensively, which will not help here, and they are going to find it tough if they try to rest too many more players at Spotland (also known as Crown Oil Arena), because it is a tight little ground and it feels like the crowd are breathing down your neck. Rochdale had a scare themselves in the second round, where they needed a replay to beat non-league Boston, but they held Tottenham here in the fifth round a couple of years ago and they will be confident of doing the same on Saturday, and securing another pay-day with a replay.

Sheffield United moved up to fifth in the Premier League after fighting back to earn a dramatic win over Bournemouth in blustery conditions at Bramall Lane. The Cherries took a deserved lead when Callum Wilson reacted quickest and swept home the rebound after Harry Wilson's effort had been blocked. The hosts responded well and Billy Sharp scored from close range in first-half injury time after a sustained spell of pressure.
Wolves are a team capable of upsetting anyone in the league but there was nothing in the impressive swatting aside of Leicester that suggests Liverpool are about to stumble. They have the joint biggest lead in top-flight history at this stage of the campaign and no team has ever failed to win the title with an advantage of this size.
The home side welcome their opponents after an entertaining game last week saw Wolfsburg emerge victoriously. But the 2-1 deficit that Malmo have to overcome won't daunt them, even if they are slightly rustier than Wolfsburg. The Swedish Allsvenskan runs from April to November so Malmo are at a disadvantage in terms of match fitness.

The whole evening was shrouded in an unreality that made even reporting on it an occasionally bizarre experience. Sometimes a look up from a laptop is prompted by a roar from the crowd - this time it was as a result of a raised voice on the pitch or an increase in volume levels from the players.

Leicester stay third, six points ahead of Chelsea who now have a game in hand. Unmarked defender Lewis's swerving strike was the Canaries' first goal in open play since New Year's Day, or more than 700 minutes of action. The clean sheet was also only the home side's second of the season.
