Wow!

As far as designing goes, this edit of Mohamed Salah’s brilliant goal against Porto should be considered as pure art.

An extremely talented graphics designer and also a Liverpool fan, @UKILFC went viral on Twitter after his design and interpretation of Salah’s goal in the Champions League received a number of retweets and likes.

The Merseyside club has been on a roll lately and signaled their intent for the rest of the season with a 5-0 thrashing of Porto last week.

An absolutely sick edit from a very talented designer, who is probably inspired by the team’s performance on the field.

Check out @UKILFC‘s work below –

The Rafalution continues as Newcastle United moved up to the second place in Championship with a fine 3-1 win over Brentford. All three points secured by the Geordies, thanks to two goals from Dwight Gayle and one from Ciaran Clark.

Besides the goalscorers, the main man (as usual nowadays) was Jonjo Shelvey with his two assists. The former Liverpool & Swansea man was provided space & time by the Brentford defence and the midfielder took full advantage with a pin-point long distance pass for Ciaran Clark to head it in.

Perhaps the best player in the league currently, watch Shelvey’s assist for Newcastle’s first goal below!

Simply stunning goal from the 36-year-old, who is making his A-League debut in the currently ongoing Melbourne derby at the Etihad Stadium.

The Toffees legend, with less than 30 minutes on his debut, controlled the ball and let off a mammoth 30 yard half volley to put Melbourne City 1-0 up. City lead the game 2-0 in the first half, with Bruno Fornaroli scoring the second goal.

Absolute belter and still definitely got it, watch the sensational strike below!

Despite Leicester City’s remarkable success last season, the Premier League campaign drifted by with little excitement, drama, controversy, and more than anything, quality.

Arsenal under-performed dramatically after Christmas, with Manchester City failing to reach their high standards, Manchester United struggled to come to terms with Louis Van Gaal’s philosophy, and champions Chelsea finished in a miserable mid-table position.

However, the arrival of Pep Guardiola, Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte into English football are just one of a number of reasons as to why the upcoming season is already showing more promise for supporters.

A much bigger task certainly awaits. for Guardiola in City after a successful period in Germany with Bayern. After finishing fourth under Manuel Pellegrini last time around, City will be hoping to once again battle it out for the biggest prize of all. After under-performing last season, City look set to invest heavily in their playing squad this summer, with Ilkay Gundogan and Spanish winger Nolito already having secured moves to the Etihad. For those of you who fancy Guardiola to bring immediate success to City, the latest odds are up at bookmakers Betway, with Aguero and Co the 9/4 favourites for the title.

On the other side of Manchester, Jose Mourinho will be eager to erase the memories of Chelsea’s struggles from last season, as he embarks on life at Old Trafford with the goal of returning the club to the pinnacle of English football. The introduction of Zlatan Ibrahimović among others should certainly bring the excitement back to Old Trafford if nothing else.

As for Mourinho’s former club Chelsea, the shrewd appointment of former Italy boss Conte has given the Stamford Bridge faithful renewed confidence. With a home draw to London rivals Tottenham the high point of their season last time around, a lack of European football means that Chelsea will be expected to throw everything at a charge for the title. The arrival of N’Golo Kante from champions Leicester could well turn out to be the signing of the summer. Conte is 6/1 with Betway to win the Premier League at the first time of asking.

If you thought Norwich City’s latest kit was ugly, think again!

Spanish club located in Huelva, Club Deportivo Pinzon have put forth their contenders for the worst kit of the season as they revealed rather ‘fruity’ looking home and away kits for new season.

Plastered with strawberries & blueberries respectively, the home & away kit launch took place in a five-star hotel which was attended by club officials, local dignitaries and fans.

The club released the following statement explaining the design of the kits.

The clothes presented by the D.C. Pinzon has been very well received as they are innovative and different from what the club has been wearing in recent years . The moment of greatest excitement was when two players D.C. Pinzon came out dressed in the uniforms , because nobody expected this design and has attracted much attention. The first kit is composed of a shirt with the bottom of strawberries, which is the flagship product in the fields of Palos de la Frontera , and the second kit it is with the bottom of blueberries, which is another fruit that is booming in the fields palermos .

Check out more pictures of the kits below!

 

Spain have appointed former Porto manager Julen Lopetegui as Vicente del Bosque’s successor and it would be fair to say that the decision isn’t exactly filling the La Roja fans with confidence.

A really interesting appointment as Lopetegui wasn’t exactly great, rather quite abysmal during his time as Porto manager. Some of his team selections still give nightmares to the Porto fans.

Although his time with the Spanish U21 side and the football they played was quite impressive.

Bizarre team selections isn’t the only thing Julen Lopetegui is famous for, as the new Spain boss quite hilariously passed out when he was commenting on national TV during the 2006 World Cup.

Priceless, check out the incident below!

The never-ending saga i.e. Paul Pogba’s apparent transfer from Juventus to Manchester United received another twist as agent Mino Raiola took to Twitter with the latest information.

Bad bit of news for Man Utd fans. Though, the popular notion seems to be that Mino Raiola is holding everybody to ransom until his fee is paid.

Juventus & Manchester United had reportedly agreed a fee £92m(€110m) for the Frenchman. But the Italian club are asking the English counterparts to pay their part of Raiola’s fee. Something which is being refused by United and as a result Raiola isn’t happy.

Take A Bow Son!

The 2016/17 season hasn’t even started and the goal of the campaign might already have been scored.

Playing for Brighton U21s, former Real Madrid youngster Jack Harper struck an outrageous solo goal last weekend.

The 20 year old Scottish forward destroyed 3 players on his way to score an absolute beauty. His first goal of the season as well.

You won’t see a better a solo effort than this for a long-long time. Watch the goal below!
