You’ve probably all seen it already, but why not relive Kepa Arrizabalaga’s dreadful penalty that gifted this year’s League Cup to Liverpool. Not only did the Blue to get near a single penalty to save, the reason he was subbed on, he proceeded to sky Chelsea’s 11th penalty into the stands. Absolutely shocking stuff.
Finland’s women beat Scotland this week with a very dramatic late winner in the 95th minute from Amanda Rantanen. Making her debut for the national side, the 22-year forward was overcome with emotion and/or pain as her breakaway goal secured victory for Finland in the European Championship qualifier.
Did you think somersault thrown-ins were a thing of the past? Well think again, as it’s all the rage in the Iranian Premier League. Peykan FC deployed it to hilarious effect this week against Gol Gohar’s rather hapless looking goalkeeper.
There’s always been a certain something special about Brazilian football, and even when it comes to clangers they somehow manage to pull them off with more panache, too. This passage of play from Corinthians versus São Paulo has a little bit of everything for the discerning #ICYMI devotee – a ludicrously over-confident goalkeeper coming a cropper, an outfield player falling over for no reason, and some ropey finishing, all topped off with that trademark excitable Brazilian commentary.
Brest goalie Gautieur Larsonneur started 2021 off in eccentric style as he almost scored what would have been one of the worst/best own goals ever to grace the #ICYMI archives. The standard for the rest of the year has been set high.
