Christian Benteke scored his team-leading fifth goal of the season on a sensational bicycle kick and streaking D.C. United pulled away to a 3-0 victory over visiting Charlotte FC on Saturday night.
Taxiarchis Fountas also scored from the penalty spot for his second goal in as many games as D.C. (4-4-2, 14 points) won its third straight and its first at home since the opening weekend of the season.
Last Sunday, Newcastle humiliated Tottenham 6-1 with Joe Willock providing one of the best assists of the Premier League season for his side's fourth goal, finished by Alexander Isak.

We all have a reason to hate VAR: its stupid nano-sized offside lines, seeing penalties nobody else sees, the time it takes from the game to review plays — you name it. However, there are times when you wish the technology was around.
Or at least you entertain the idea after seeing how unfair life was with Spanish goalkeeper Manu García last weekend.
St James' Park was reveling in a glorious attacking display with the atmosphere inside the ground turning into a carnival — every completed pass was greeted with an "olé" while the crowd bellowed "shoot" at goalkeeper Nick Pope whenever he took possession.
We still had 60 minutes to play.
I don't know if Deiry Ramírez is going to become the next Mexican superstar or not. However, whatever happens with her career in the future, nobody can take away the fact that she once lived the dream. She scored a bicycle kick in her first-ever professional game at just 16 years old.
In doing it, she also became the youngest player ever to score in Liga MX Femenil.
Deiry entered the field for the last half-hour of the game and scored the goal that sealed Tigres' 5-0 rout over Mazatlán only 13 minutes later.
Otro capítulo memorable en el Clausura 2023.
La J15 regaló varios partidos inolvidables – excepto por el Querétaro vs. Tigres – y recargó emoción de cara a las últimas dos jornadas de la fase regular del torneo.
Con excepción de Mazatlán – último, pase lo que pase –, el resto de los 17 equipos de la división tienen algo que pelear, ya sea el liderato de la general, los puestos de clasificación directa a los playoffs o agarrar un boleto para la ronda de repechaje.
Quizás el mundo no necesite un ránking de goles de Santiago Giménez en Feyenoord. Sin embargo, la campaña del mexicano en el equipo neerlandés al menos merece ser celebrada.
Al delantero mexicano le costó un poquito carburar el motor y adaptarlo al ritmo del fútbol neerlandés, pero una vez que puso velocidad crucero, los goles no paran de caer. Tanto que los 18 que lleva están a un paso de superar el récord de más goles de un jugador mexicano en su primera temporada en Europa, una marca que hoy comparten Luis García y Javier Hernández con 20.
An Erling Haaland bicycle kick goal vs. Southampton during Manchester City’s 4-1 victory on Saturday silenced his haters who claim he doesn’t score any quality goals.
Every player has their fair share of haters, it’s natural. However, Haaland’s haters are a particularly interesting group of people. They despise Haaland, a striker whose sole purpose is to score goals, for scoring goals.
LONDON — Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane struck a late winner in a fiery 2-1 home victory over Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday to boost his side's hopes of a top-four finish.
Son Heung-min's 100th Premier League goal, a superb curler in the 10th minute, had given Spurs the lead against the run of play.
HEUNG-MIN SON WITH A SCREAMER FOR HIS 100TH PREMIER LEAGUE GOAL!
Para Luis Olivas, joven canterano de Chivas, seguramente no fue fácil pasar del primer equipo del Rebaño a ser relegado al Tapatío CD, la filial del club en la Liga Expansión MX.
Sin embargo, el defensor de a poco levanta la mano para volver a formar parte del plantel estelar gracias a sus buenas actuaciones y el infernal golazo que convirtió este jueves ante Dorados de Sinaloa.
