Andrea Belotti is not generally mentioned in conversations concerning the elite strikers in Europe, but it is looking more and more like the Torino man should be.
Belotti hopped on his bike Sunday against Sassuolo and scored a goal for the ages.

Hirving "Chucky" Lozano continues to prove he is having no trouble adapting to European football. The 22-year-old former Pachuca winger made it three goals in his first three Eredivisie matches with a tap-in against Roda JC Sunday.
If Lozano continues to play like this, he will be a lock for Russia 2018, and Juan Carlos Osorio will be hard-pressed to keep him out of the starting lineup.

After a long footballing period consisting of nothing but transfer market hell and the Gold Cup, it’s permissible that you’d forgotten the real meaning of the beautiful game. It’s totally normal to have watched an inning or two of MLB on the TV, to have spent an inordinate amount of time discussing which Game of Thrones characters and story arcs you vaguely remember.

Everton held a narrow 2-0 advantage heading into their second leg Europa League qualifying playoff against Hajduk Split in Croatia. After Josip Radosevic narrowed the advantage to 2-1 with a 30-yard rocket in the 43rd minute, Everton came out for the second half knowing that their Europa League participation was well and truly in the balance.
But less than a minute after the restart, the 35,000 packed into the Stadion Poljud in Split were silenced by what could be the best goal in the competition all season.
