📸 Sarapii pulls Kean’s hair, he reacts: 🟥 red card only for the striker

Fiorentina kicks off its season with its debut in an official competition, facing the playoff that grants access to the next edition of the Conference League.


Pioli's team, at the end of the 1st half, leads by two goals. Almost at the whistle of the first half, an incident forces the team to play the second half with a numerical disadvantage, with Moise Kean as the protagonist.


🟥 Kean, straight red for reaction

At minute 44 Moise Kean loses his head after a contact with Sarapii: the Polissya defender provokes him by pulling his hair and the Italian striker reacts with a violent swing that hits him in the back. The referee has no hesitation and shows the direct red card.

The Fiorentina bench protests erupt, convinced that the Ukrainian player also deserved the card for the unsporting gesture. An ugly incident to see, which leaves Fiorentina with a numerical disadvantage and some doubts about the referee's judgment (along with the VAR) towards Sarapii.


⚽⚽ Own Goal+Gosens, Viola ahead by two

Fiorentina unlocks the match already at the 8th minute with a flicker from Kean: the striker receives on the three-quarters, widens to the left, wins a contrast and returns on the right. His conclusion from outside hits the post, bounces on Kudryk's back and ends up in the net, with a bit of luck that rewards the stubbornness of the Viola's number 9.

Shortly after, at the 32nd minute, the doubling comes: Kean breaks through on the right and puts a poisonous cross in the area, Gudmundsson only touches but on the second post Gosens appears. The German controls with coolness and releases a right under the crossbar, closing a perfect choral action.


🤯 De Gea #1: what a save he made!

At the 23rd minute, De Gea confirms himself to be among the best goalkeepers around, with a truly miraculous save.

Andryievskiy draws a perfect cross in the area for Filippov's head, who escapes Pongračić and hits on the run directing the ball to the corner. It seems like a done goal, but De Gea stretches out with an extraordinary reflex and flies to deflect saving the Viola's goal.

Eagles coach calls out star player for being out of shape: ‘Both he and I have talked about that’

https://ift.tt/5x1sACw PHILADELPHIA — Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter is still not in his best form yet. After getting ejected before the first snap in Week 1 for spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott , Carter made his season debut in Philadelphia’s Week 2 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. As one of the best defensive tackles in the NFL, Carter is expected to take over games, but that didn’t happen against the Chiefs. “He had some good rushes, but he needs to round into better shape,” Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said on Tuesday. “Both he and I have talked about that. He readily admits that. I think we’ll even get more (out of him). For everything that has gone on in his world, I thought he played pretty good.” Carter amassed two tackles and three quarterback hits, while playing 80% of the snaps. He has the talent to be more productive. Last year, Carter became an unstoppable force after ...

Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane ready to take on English rivals in Champions League

https://ift.tt/SwpIz0O Bayern Munich star Harry Kane cannot wait to hit the grass at the Allianz Arena to face off with Chelsea FC in the Champions League. “We back ourselves to beat any team at the Allianz Arena. It’s up to you [journalists] and fans to decide who are the favourites. We’re feeling very good right now. If we want to beat Chelsea, we have to perform at our peak. It will be a tough and great game. Chelsea did very well at the Club World Cup and right now in the Premier League,“ said Kane (as captured by @iMiaSanMia ). When asked about the statement made by Uli Hoeneß, Kane respectfully disagreed. “A club like Bayern always expects to win every competition. I wouldn’t say we’re underdogs, even though we’re playing against the best teams in Europe. Now begins a long journey, hopefully until May. I don’t want to look too far ahead. We want to be as high as possible in the league phase table. It all starts tomorrow,” Kane said. Harkening back to last season’s Champions...
