Definitely one that bears repeat viewing, here’s Ukraine winger Yevgen Konoplianka’s absolutely supersexy opener against boring boring England (just about the only thing worth recounting from the entire game) available to view on infinite loop again and again until the giant sentient salamanders that live in the Earth’s core finally rise to the surface and destroy mankind with their toxic mind bullets…
Oh yes.
Love how the ‘Townshend & Tyldesley’ axis forlornly tried to write Konoplianka’s missile off as an anomalous fluke which only found the top corner due to Steven Gerrard ‘not getting out there quick enough’. Pound to a penny they’d have been fudding themselves cross-eyed if Jimbo Milner had’ve lashed it in at the other end.
