Stoke City manager Michael O'Neill was probably pretty happy with his goalkeeping situation to begin the season. Adam Davies won the starting job at the end of last season and was impressive.

Tuesday was a day of wacky celebrations to be sure. Myrto Uzuni mocking Cristiano Ronaldo’s signature celly was absolutely ridiculous. The question is, was Uzuni’s move as dramatic as this reaction to perhaps the easiest goal ever in the Polish Ekstraklasa?
