'That's football.' After a typically Gallic shrug, that was what Karim Benzema offered as an explanation for his audacious - deep breath - no-look, backheel, nutmeg assist as Real Madrid limped to a 1-0 win at Espanyol. In an otherwise unremarkable contest, Benzema's spark of ingenuity lit up a rather lacklustre performance from the visitors. No-look backheel nutmeg assist.

Pogba is back in action...

When considering the ability of a wide player, football fans will usually look towards a player's goal contribution statistics. Take Jadon Sancho for example, one of the most exciting and talented forwards in world football right now, with his 20 goals and 20 assists this season seeing him linked with a £100m+ move elsewhere. But it shouldn't always be about the statistics. Dwight McNeil has been a regular for Burnley A winger can still be instrumental to a side while not having the best...

30 November 2019 - Chelsea were poor, sloppy and wasteful as they fell 1-0 to Manuel Pellegrini's West Ham United. It meant back-to-back defeats for Frank Lampard and pretty much sparked the inconsistency which has plagued the Blues' season. For West Ham, it marked the end of a seven-game winless run and proved that the Hammers do actually have the talent to hang with the best, even if they like to keep that talent hidden deep down a little too often. The two sides will meet again on Wednesday...
