My
commitment to this frivolous weekly feature knows no bounds. The third
instalment of Crap Goals is here – and what a selection of tedious nonsense I have
for you this week.
Last week’s winner was Alexander Semadov for Dinamo Moscow, masterfully hitting the top corner accidentally. But who will reign victorious this week?
Desperate
defending usually makes for a scrappy goal, and that’s exactly what we get here
with Sturridge giving Chelsea the lead in their 4-2 win over Aston Villa. The
defending, it has to be said, is superb, at least in a last-ditch sense, but an
unmarked Sturridge fires in from close range after Fernando Torres is denied to
give this week’s proceedings a solid start.
A
mixture of dreadful goalkeeping, poor defensive positioning and excellent
poaching, here, as Llorente set everyone’s favourite set of Basque players on
their way to a 4-2 away win against Schalke.
To
the Scrappy Premier League, now, where Rangers continued to stop the inevitable
Celtic title win from happening for another week with a late win at Motherwell.
From a long, hopefully throw-in, the ball somehow managed to get the better of
two Motherwell defenders by bouncing. McCulloch pounced expertly, earning his
side the three points.
The
gap at the top of Serie A is now just two points after Juventus beat Napoli to
keep the heat on AC Milan. To get their 3-0 victory underway, Bonucci used his
knee to divert a shot from Mirko Vucinic – which he’d somehow managed to dig
out with the ball under his feet – into the top corner.
A
first for Crap Goals of the Week: women’s football! Imagine that! Or click
below to see Kinga bundle in from close range to give Japan the lead against
America. Alex Morgan equalised late on to earn the US a draw in the Kirin Cup.
