David De Gea’s typically superb penalty save to deny Lukaku in the Fa Cup
It wasn’t Everton striker Romelu Lukaku’s day against Manchester United as his side slumped to a 2-1 defeat in the semi-final of the FA Cup at Wembley on Saturday.
Having missed a hat-trick of chances, Lukaku was given a golden opportunity to finally get on the score sheet when he stepped up to take a penalty after Fosu-Mensah was harshly judged to have fouled Barkley in the box after appearing to get a toe on the ball.
However, Manchester United fans needn’t have worried. David De Gea who has been imperious in goal for his side this season, pulled of a stunning save, getting a strong arm to thwart Lukaku’s effort.
Watch De Gea’s quality save below.
Best in the world?@D_DeGea superbly denies @RomeluLukaku9 from the spot to keep @ManUtd in front.#FACupSemiFinal https://t.co/sMspEdH2Db

It’s raining beach balls as Charlton fans protest club ownership
In case you’ve missed it, Charlton Athletic fans are really pissed off with their absent millionaire owner Roland Duchâtelet.
Under Duchâtelet, the Addicks have seen a host of managers come and go in short succession, including the reappointment of a manager previously given the axe by the Belgian owner.
With the club in disarray, Charlton Athletic fans have staged several protests including a mock funeral last month.
The relegated Championship club, provided a less somber protest today by disrupting their game against Brighton by covering the pitch with hundreds of beach balls – Pepe Reina’s nightmare imagined!
Watch the protest footage below.

Yes, you absolutely do need to watch AC Milan “perform” a pre-match Haka
So, here we are, witnessing AC Milan, one of Europe’s greats, roped into performing the Haka before they kicked off their Serie A clash with Carpi.
And, the most appalling thing about it, is not just the ill-advised appropriation of culture, but that the appropriation was done in the name of advertising. Yes, Milan are willing to trade their dignity to hawk a bit of product. Or, at least, some actors decked out in a Milan strip are willing to do so.
Oh Milan, what have you become?? Well, on the plus side, at least they’ve taken a break from the sexist overtones that normally feature in their ads.
Watch the footage below, and get ready to cringe.
What the fuck has my club come to? pic.twitter.com/OX2bGLa92L
