Attendance for superbowl champs Eagles: 85,870. That is the most ever for an NFL game at Wembley Stadium in London, but that certainly doesn’t shock us. #FlyEaglesFly

Paul Pogba: Man Utd midfielder takes 26-step penalty against Everton

It brought back memories of Simone Zaza's bizarre penalty miss for Italy at Euro 2016.

Paul Pogba's eventual goal in the victory over Everton came after a staggering run-up which took 26 steps. His penalty was saved, but he stuck in the rebound.

Someone on social media pointed out that Pogba's little trot from start to finish took more time than Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt takes to run 100m.

"I was lucky," Pogba said after the game. "The important thing is it went in and I scored the goal - good for us and me. After we carried on and had other chances, the most important thing was the win."

Here is a look at his penalty stats for this season:

Number of steps Result
v Leicester 17 Scored
v Brighton 8 Scored
v Burnley 18 Saved
v Young Boys 23 Scored
v Everton 26 Saved, scored rebound

Pogba has taken a total of 92 steps across his five penalties this season - that's an average of 18.4 steps per penalty - and seen two of them saved.

Just seen the Willian incident...he clearly dived!
Difference between the two is Xhaka put his leg out to play the ball but took the man, Burnley guy doesn't put his leg out at all and Willian decides to go down (I guess in anticipation that the defender would put their leg out)

Anyways he performed really well and scored a good goal

On a separate note, my boy Lewis is putting his foot on F1's neck!

I reading F1 sfans try and diminish his achievements saying it's the car not him that causes the success. If it was that easy Bottas would be his chief rival. Like Schumacher's car wasn't by far the most superior in his era. In fact i stopped watching F1 during that time because it was so uncompetitive. They hate to see a cocky black man achieving on his own terms

Hearing some great stories about Vichai, he sounded like a really dope human also really involved in the club as a fan, hanging around and knowing the day to day goings on and all the staff, shame not all owners have the same motives... RIP...
 
Also whats dope about Hamilton is I believe he personally handles most of his own business... Like he doesnt have a manager, agent, media person etc its all him, he negotiates all his contracts...
