Amad Diallo once again brilliant but I stand by it... Muric is the worst keeper in the division (bar Alex McCarthy lol).

Not the worst error in the world there but yet again he's caught out by his poor judgement

Two ways to make penalties way more interesting in football.

1. Player who was fouled/last touched the ball, has to take the penalty.

2. Play who takes the penalty isn't allowed to score the rebound.
