Hay Video: Así Fue El Primer Gol De Santi Muñoz Con El Newcastle Sub 23

Tardó siete meses, pero al final llegó: Santi Muñoz convirtió su primer gol vistiendo el jersey del Newcastle Sub 23, en la victoria 4-3 sobre el West Bromwich Albion. 

El delantero mexicano aterrizó en las Urracas con bastantes expectativas mediáticas, debido a la similitud de su nombre con la del ficticio Santi Muniz de la película "Goal!", quien en busca de la gloria mundial empieza su carrera europea, justamente, en el Newcastle.

It's 2022 And Goalkeeping Stats Are Still Stuck In The Dark Ages

Ever listen to a pundit or so-called football expert talk about goalkeepers? It's usually pretty evident with their first few sentences that they have no clue what they are talking about.

Their understanding of technique is minimal, and if you hear any mention of saves made, save percentage or any similar stat, you might as well stop listening (or reading).

The tweet below is a perfect example of a stat that seems useful but doesn't reveal much about the quality of a goalkeeper:

Cloud Over Chelsea Momentarily Lifted By Kai Havertz's Heavenly First Touch

Chelsea played its first home match since owner Roman Abramovich was sanctioned by the UK government and disqualified by the Premier League — leaving the club in limbo and immediately needing a new owner — on Sunday, and it was fittingly against Newcastle, which has been steadily climbing the table since its own new owners flexed their financial might in the January window.

Would Everton Be The Most Talented Team Ever Relegated From The Premier League?

A handful of times during the season, there are results that can only cause one reaction among neutral fans: laughter. Such matches are rare because they usually involve a larger club losing in embarrassing fashion. Arsenal's 5-0 loss to Manchester City in August certainly falls in this category, as does Manchester United's 5-0 defeat to Liverpool and 4-1 loss against Watford.

From Kepa To Krul: A History Of Goalkeepers Subbed In For Penalty Kick Shootouts

Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel's decision to bring on Kepa Arrizbalaga late in the 2022 EFL Cup Final was not unprecedented — both for Chelsea and the footballing world. Kepa had replaced Mendy in the waning moments of extra time in the UEFA Super Cup against Villarreal earlier in the year, saving two penalties in Chelsea's shootout victory.

In fact, the Spaniard is an above-average keeper in his career when it comes to saving penalties. 

Christian Eriksen Makes His First Professional Debut 250 Days After Collapsing On The Field During Euros

Christian Eriksen made his first professional appearance on Saturday for Brentford eight months after collapsing from a cardiac arrest during the Euros. In the 52nd minute of Brentford’s game against Newcastle the entire crowd inside Brentford Community Stadium stood on its feet to welcome Eriksen back to the field.

Premier League’s Title And Relegation Battles Are Actually Getting Good

A month ago, Manchester City's trip to Everton on Saturday looked like a game which would just be one more step on Pep Guardiola's side's inevitable march to the Premier League title.

But a series of results in recent weeks makes the game not only a vital one for City, whose lead over Liverpool has been cut to just three points, but also has left Everton in desperate need of points in their battle for top flight survival.

The Numbers Don't Lie When It Comes To Ranking Premier League Goalkeepers

Thinking back over the first six months of the Premier League season, it has seemed like an unusually poor year for goalkeepers. This has been evident from the opening weekend, when a plethora of minor goalkeeping errors led to a forgettable start to the season.

David de Gea has been sensational, but aside from the Man United keeper, who has stood out between the posts this year?

I Cannot Stop Watching Joelinton Crack A Shot Into His Own Face

As a Newcastle United supporter, you might be curious (you're not) who my favorite player is. It's a tie between Allan Saint-Maximin and Joelinton. 

ASM represents everything that's beautiful about this game. He's a wizard on the dribble, capable of conjuring something out of nothing and always worth tuning in for. 

Big Joe isn't really any of those things. He's all heart, perseverance in the face of unmitigated failure and the inventor of the $54 million striker-turned-inside-midfield-destroyer position.
