very classy second.
He hit the post twice in this match as well
Got a good shot on him
Interesting. I always used to wonder if players saw the gap and deliberately put the ball between goalies legs. Then two years ago I took up football again in the form of Walking Football and at over 60 I quickly found that you could spot the goalie or defender with his legs wide open ,slot the ball through and score. While there will always be a degree of a speculative shot , if my old brain can spot the gap I'm now convinced that these younger, sharper well trained players do regularly mean to do it when they score between goalies and defenders legs.Clever shot between the goalies legs for the 2nd goal. Most goals scored between goalies & defenders legs are speculative, and commentators don't know the
difference.
There was a GK ( can't remember his name) said to,Brian Clough " I know boss I should have closed my legs" to which Brain Clough replied " I know son, pity your mother didn't.Interesting.

Don't recall Nigel Clough ever playing in goalThere was a GK ( can't remember his name) said to,Brian Clough " I know boss I should have closed my legs" to which Brain Clough replied " I know son, pity your mother didn't.

And what a coincidence that Clough knew his mother.Don't recall Nigel Clough ever playing in goal![]()
DCL has a bit of Kane in him imo - not saying he'll turn out as good but plays a similar style.DCL looks like a man playing against boys there. Lookman is the player that excites me most going forward though, he could be a bit special this lad.
