It’s hardly a surprise for anyone that FIFA named Hirving ‘Chucky’ Lozano as one of the top ten young soccer players of the year. Having scored 11 goals in 16 matches playing for Dutch club PSV Eindhoven, the 22 year-old Mexican international is off to a blistering start to his European career.
“I used to try to look at the ball and when I’m looking at that ball, I’m trying to see who is moving where and how to make sure I can plan my goal. Sometimes it’s instinct. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not going to lie — sometimes it’s an instinctive finish. But most of the times, you see a lot of strikers in one-on-one situations or when the ball is traveling, losing their way in what they’re trying to do because they’re thinking about it while they are doing it.
We demand more Friday night lights at the Emirates. After the Gunners opened the season in August with a wildly entertaining Friday night win over Leicester City, the Arsenal vs Liverpool match in North London was arguably even better to start the festive fixtures on Friday. Liverpool scored the first two goals before three goals in five minutes from Arsenal, only for the Reds to equalize in a fantastic 3-3 draw between two of the best clubs in the English Premier League.

Alberto Moreno, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino are all having fine seasons for Liverpool, but that has pretty much nothing to do with this video, which depicts the trio engaging in the BLOODSPORT OF MINI GOLF.
Ah, we jest. Mini-golf is not a blood-sport. It is not even a regular sport. It is quite fun though.
Alberto Moreno is OK at mini-golf. The other two are just awful. Firmino especially. The man shot a 10 on the first hole. I wouldn't think that was possible for a coordinated human adult if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.
Liverpool crushed Bournemouth 4-0 on Sunday to get back to their winning ways and move up to fourth place in the EPL table. Three of those goals illustrated why Jurgen Klopp's team is one of the deadliest attacking units in the world.
First up: Coutinho. The little Brazilian received the ball from Andy Robertson, humiliated the whole right side of Bournemouth's defense and coolly finished at the near post.
