You might want etch this time and date, as we witnessed a very rare moment of honesty in football this week, committed by Manchester United loanee Adnan Janazaj no less.
Playing during Dortmund’s 7-1 thrashing of Paderborn in the German Cup on Wednesday evening, Janazaj skipped free down the right wing only to be legged up by a covering defender. Now, when almost any other player would have taken the dive there and then, and rightly earned himself the free kick, Janazaj – in what seemed like slow motion – hits the deck twice like a new born deer getting his footing, but refuses to go down.
Fortunately, Janazaj is rewarded for his honesty and eventually the referee rightfully pulls it back for a free kick.

Middlesbrough will face Everton at home in the quarter finals. -

Juventus’ poor start to the Serie A season looks to continue after falling behind at Sassuolo thanks to a gorgeous top corner free kick by Nicola Sansone.
To make matters worse for Juve, defender Giorgio Chiellini has managed to get himself booked twice just before the half time break, meaning his side will have to battle from a goal down with 10 men for the second half. -
