Deadly indeed.
Paulo Dybbla bags his 14th goal of the season as Juventus edged out Roma 1-0 to win their 11th Serie A game in a row.
Paul Pogba picked out Dybala with a fine pass before the Argentine takes one touch then finishes from a tight angle. Watch Dybala’s goal in the video below.
"Deadly Dybala does it again!" @paulpogba feeds in @PauDybala_JR, who finishes in style for @juventusfc. #JuveRoma https://t.co/IJol7Kl1A0

Angel Di Maria lashes home a superb volley as PSG somehow manage to squeeze past Angers in a tightly contested 5-1 rout.
A goal that is sure to ‘Angers’ Manchester United fans who probably won’t want to see their former winger producing such a fine volley on a day when their side put on another snore fest, losing 1-0 at home to Southampton when a mouse on the pitch was the most exciting thing on display.
Di Maria has now notched 11 goals this season for PSG, along with 9 assists.
"That's the best of the lot!" Angel Di Maria's sumptuous volley rounds off a magnificent display by @PSG_inside. https://t.co/XbU7YIIyQE

Go on then, tell me what you’ve seen this weekend that’s better than watching a slow-mo of Jurgen Klopp celebrating to the theme of Baywatch?
Ok, I might be getting a bit carried away with this very indulgent Jurgen Klopp love-in. It was only Norwich after all. That said, it’s definitely an improvement on the original, as per below.

HT to LFCMostar for the fine work.

It looks like Manchester United’s recruitment policy has taken to drastic measures to find an exciting winger with blistering pace.
The Old Trafford mouse was said to be terrorising the Southampton full backs all afternoon.
You’re welcome.
When it comes to celebrating goals and expressing ones emotions on the touch line, Jurgen Klopp might just be setting the standard. However, following the madness that was Liverpool’s 5-4 win over Norwich at Carrow Road on Saturday, Klopp might have just outdone himself celebrating the winner.
Having comeback from 3-1 to make it 4-3 to the Reds, the game looked like it was going to finally settle on what would have been a deserved draw for both sides thanks to Bassong’s injury time goal that made it 4-4. However, Liverpool somehow managed to knick the win with pretty much the last kick of the ball thanks to Adam Lallan’s bouncer of a volley only seconds later.
Spark the wild celebrations, as Klopp went full Klopp celebrating with his Liverpool players on the pitch.
Watch Klopp’s epic celebration below.

A new football league has been launched aimed at those who might be carrying a bit of extra timber since the last time they kicked a ball.
The initiaitive was started by 37-year-old Andrew Shanahan who wanted to offer an alternative to those Jan Molby’s out there looking to shed some weight. Shanahan himself can no longer compete in the league, which has a minimum BMI requirement of 30, after he dropped considerable weight while playing in the league.
“I started Man V Fat two years ago because I was morbidly obese and experienced first-hand the difficulties men face during weight loss.” said Shannan, adding “I was 17 stone in 2013 and now I’m just over 12 stone, but I was shocked at how little support blokes get for weight loss. There was no help for me, and all the classes seemed tailored to womens’ needs.”
The league is free to join and is funded and based in Solihull. I’m putting my hot tip behind ‘Inter Pies’ to take the title.
Barcleona have released some rare footage of Lionel Messi as a young pup, proving that even back then as a 17-year-old he could effortlessly run past defenders as though they’re not there.
It’s well worth watching the whole clip during which Messi bags a superb assist and a goal in a Barca B derby vs Espanyol. The highlight though? Probably watching Messi drop the shoulder on a couple of defenders before one decides he’s had enough and unceremoniously chops the teenager down. Even then, they couldn’t stop him.
Watch the quality footage below.
Spurs eased past Leicester City and into the next round of the FA Cup following their 2-0 replay victory at the King Power Stadium on Wednesday night.
Son Heung-min gave Spurs the lead just before half time with a rocket of a strike, before Nacer Chadli sealed the deal.
Watch Son Heung-min’s fine strike in the video below.
Goals from Joe Allen, Joao Carlos Teixiera and Sheyo Ojo ensured Liverpool blushes were spared after they progressed to the next round of the FA Cup, on the second time of asking during their replay with Exeter.
Once again, lumbering centre forward Christian Benteke struggled (you know it’s bad when even Micky Owen is piling on!) and his ineffectiveness was only hightened by the apparent ease in which youngster Ojo took his goal.
Cutting in on his left foot, Ojo found a pocket of space in the Exeter box, got his head up then nonchalantly curled it into the top corner. I hope you are taking note Christian.
Watch Ojo’s sublime curler below.
