One-step run up to a penalty is not a thing you’ll get to see very often in a professional football game.
Still, it’s exactly what happened in Spain this weekend as Athletic Bilbao forward Aritz Aduriz tucked it in audaciously against Valladolid.
Aduriz is a sort of a penalty specialist who bagged 21 spot kicks in La Liga since 2012 which is the most for any played in top 5 European leagues since that time.

With Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake finally looking like it’s within touching distance, Square Enix is continuing the rollout of new details on the RPG to continuing generating excitement in the lead-up to its November launch. Alongside revealing new gameplay footage and details through previews, the company has also offered a look at the remaFree Bonus on Registrationke’s take on the protagonist.
Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake will, just as the original game did, allow you to play as one of two different variants of the protagonist, Erdrick. Though the original tied them to choosing your gender, the remake will not, instead simply calling the two options Type A and Type B. Square Enix ha…
Back when Microsoft Flight Simulator launched for PC in 2020, it was, without question, one of the most demanding and graphically intensive games available on the platform. It’s no surprise, then, that its upcoming successor once again has incredibly demanding system requirements on PC.
Microsoft has revealed the specs for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 in a recently published official FAQ, and they get increasingly bonkers as you go up the specs, to an almost ridiculous degree. On minimum settings, the requirements are relatively reasonable, with players needing either a Ryzen 2600X or an i7-6800K, along with either a Radeon RX 5700 or a GeForce GTX 970 (with 4 GB of VRAM), and a 16 GB RAM.
On recommended settings, meanwhile, y…
According to a recent report from Bild, Fortuna Dusseldorf have held a meeting with Watford in order to try and secure a permanent deal for Dodi Lukebakio. The 21 year old has been on loan with the German club since last year, and has enjoyed a successful spell thus far. As a result Dusseldorf are very interested in trying to make the deal permanent, although they aren’t the only club that are interested.
Borussia Dortmund and Borussia Monchengladbach have also made it known that they want to take the winger off the hands of Dusseldorf, which could lead to something of a bidding war.
Watford are currently riding high in the Premier League, but it’ll be interesting to see whether or not they try and keep hold of him in the wake of all this interest.

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 and 2 Remastered is set to bring Crystal Dynamics’ acclaimed action-adventure series back from the dead imminently, and though it will obviously deliver visually enhanced versions of the original classics, it’s also set to bring additional content that fans of the originals in particular will likely want to check out, for which the remaster’s developer Aspyr has revealed new details on the PlayStation Blog.
Specifically, Soul Reaver 1 and 2 Remastered will include four Lost Levels, which are areas that didn’t make it into thesports betting original game, but have been restored through the joint efforts of Crystal Dynamics, Aspy…
Free-scoring Manchester City added to Crystal Palace s mounting misery with a 5-0 win at the Etihad Stadium, a result that sent Pep Guardiola s men top of the Premier League.
Palace are the only team without a goal in Europe s five major divisions this season after a sixth straight top-flight defeat, and the scale of the task facing the recently appointed Roy Hodgson is thrown into a stark light by a fixture list that places Manchester United and Chelsea next on their agenda.
Contrary to the final scoreline, Hodgson s men acquitted themselves well in the first half and should have led through Ruben Loftus-Cheek before a splendid opener from Leroy Sane arrived a minute before half-time.
Raheem Sterling s quickfire second-half brace put the result beyond any sembla…
Erling Haaland has suggested the €175million fee it might take to prise him away from Borussia Dortmund would be too much to spend on one player.
That figure has been floated as a potential benchmark in Chelsea s bid to sign the Dortmund sensation.
Haaland has previously been linked with several of Europe s top clubs, but finances are tight at Barcelona and Real Madrid while Manchester United and Manchester City seemingly have their eyes set on alternative targets.
It leaves European champions Chelsea as the striker s most likely destination if he leaves Dortmund, yet Haaland s comments on Tuesday did not indicate an imminent move.
Before yesterday I hadn t talked to my agent in a month – you have to tell me [about the reports], he told the media.

The 2020/21 campaign in the UEFA Nations League is set to begin on Thursday evening, and one of the opening matches on the menu is the one Russia will be playing against Serbia at the Central Dynamo Stadium in Moscow in League B Group 3. The other match of the group will be played between Turkey and Hungary in Sivas, Turkey, at the same time, and whoever finishes top of the table will secure promotion to League A.
Russia
In 2018/19, Russia competed in the Nations League Group B2 against Sweden and Turkey, and lost out on the top spot and consequent League A promotion on mere goal-difference. They beat Turkey away by 1-2, then drew 0-0 at home against Sweden, beat Turkey at home by 2-0 and lost away to Sweden by the same scoreline. They…
Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard concedes that the departure of striker Didier Drogba will leave a massive hole in the Blues team.
The Ivorian forward announced on Tuesday that he had decided not to extend his contract beyond the current season and would seek a new club.
Drogba capped off his eight-year spell in west London by scoring the equalising goal and winning penalty in the Champions League final on Saturday, and Lampard hailed his former team-mate as one of the best the Premier League has ever seen.
I didn t see Didier get too many mentions when they were voting for the Premier League team of the past 20 years, Lampard told The Sun.
Maybe that s because people like to make a fuss about the other side of his game. But having played with him for …
Napoli have secured the services of Piotr Zielinski from Udinese for a fee believed to be in the region of €15 million.
The 22-year-old underwent a medical on Thursday before signing a five-year deal.
The midfielder had previously been linked with Liverpool and seemed set to continue his career at Anfield, but the Premier League side refused to meet Udinese s valuation of the player and he has now moved to the Stadio San Paolo instead.
Zielinski joined Udinese from Zaglebie Lubin at the age of 17 and made his debut for the Stadio Friuli side in November 2012. He was unable to secure regular first-team football at Udinese, though, and spent the past two seasons on loan Empoli, where he did enough to earn himself a move to Napoli.
