He's Just 20 And He Hurt A Club's European Dreams

Espanyol played the role of a spoiler tonight against Celta de Vigo. Celta are plying for a spot in Europa League and their chances took a hit today when Marco Asensio scored an amazing half volley from 25 yards out. The 38th minute equalizer was beautiful as the forward controlled a clearance and fired home. Espanyol currently sit at 15th in the La Liga table and Celta will need to starting earning three points instead of one if they want to make it to Europa League.

This Absurd Goal Totally Explains Why PSG Are So Dominant

Snodgrass Curls In Last Gasp Freekick to Lift Hull City Over Wolverhampton Wanderers

When it is potentially the last kick of the match, you need to make the most of it and Hull City's Robert Snodgrass took advantage of a prime freekick opportunity. In the 4th minute of stoppage time, the scored was tied at 1. Hull's faint hopes of automatic promotion to the Premier League were on the line. Snodgrass stepped up in a big moment, curled the freekick off the bar, hitting Wanderer's keeper, Carl Ikeme's back and into the net. While it will go down in the post match report as an own goal, Snodgrass's curling effort was simply spectacular.

Filthy Finish By Marcus Rashford

When you are 18-years-old and you play for arguably the most noticeable club in the world, you're not supposed to score 6 goals in your first 11 games. But that's what Marcus Rashford has done since LVG called his name to the first team. Rashford kicked off the scoring against West Ham in the FA Cup quarterfinals. The youngster received the ball at the edge off the box after a West Ham turnover and then showed off his footwork before burying a shot off the upper 90 crossbar. So smooth, so pretty.

Kagawa Receives A Backheel Then Gets Cheeky

You know when you're ballin' with your mates and you execute the perfect pass, or a sweet dummy but they mess it up? That isn't what happened here and we thank our lucky stars for that. Moritz Leitner fed Shinji Kagawa a beautiful backheel and he Japanese international lofted a beautiful 18-yard chip past the Schalke goalkeeper. It was swaggy and it was smooth. Dortmund have a big Europa League match coming up this week in Anfield and are 7 points behind Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. It's going to be a tight finish for Thomas Tuchel's bunch. 

This 18-Yard Backheel Volley Is The Definition Of Cheeky

Jordan Blondel is a 23-year-old midfielder for US Avranches in the Championnat National, the French 3rd tier. He may have just scored an early contender for goal of the month with this cheeky backheel volley from 18 yards out.

Dimitri Payet Is The Free-Kick King

Dimitri Payet has 13 goals in all competitions this year. Five of them are on free-kicks coming off of his golden right foot. Sure, there are a lot of amazing free-kick takers out there, but I'm going to go ahead and just give Payet the title of "Free-Kick King". His right footed curling rockets have been giving goalkeepers fits since his return from an ankle injury in January and he's been key in keeping West Ham in the hunt for a top four finish.  Go ahead a watch all of his golazo's from set peices this year. The best one, probably his rip from 30+ yards out against Russia.
