Tarik Cohen’s ridiculous return, flying goalkeepers and derby clangers | Classic YouTube

1) Tarik Cohen sends the 49ers’ entire pack chasing after the wrong fire with this ridiculous punt return. Oh, and here he is catching a ball while doing a backflip.

2) Trailing 2-1 against Milan and having failed to win a point all season, up trots Benevento’s goalkeeper Alberto Brignoli in the 94th minute to score a stunning flying header to earn a 2-2 draw and join an exclusive club of five goalscoring Serie A keepers. Only 130 more to match Rogério Ceni, though, Alberto.

3) High school basketball player falls over, steals ball, scores while sitting down.

4) When Zinedine Zidane had hair and played for Bordeaux he did this.

5) It’s the Merseyside and Manchester derbies this weekend. Here’s some retro action from Liverpool 0-2 Everton in February 1986, including a Bruce Grobbelaar clanger and some lovely football from the Toffees, while Manchester United played out a furious and filthy 2-2 draw with Manchester City in the same season that included a glorious Arthur Albiston own goal. Will we see similar ineptitude this weekend?

6) It turns out the notoriously decrepit Pontiac Silverdome in Detroit was built of sterner stuff than many imagined. Here it is refusing to fall after being hit with multiple explosions in its attempted demolition.

And then finally being reduced to rubble after a few more sticks of dynamite were slotted in a day later. Some extraordinary events have been witnessed at the venue – not least when the Detroit Lions’ game against the New York Jets was stopped because of crowd noise in 1997.

1) Golazo, by one-time Arsenal midfielder Conor Henderson.

2) Fifty-five hardy souls take on the Antarctic Ice Marathon.

3) The tale of Felix Wiedwald.

4) And an emergency fourth official.
