1) It’s time to give the goalline clearance some love after this belter from Russia, in which FC Rostov’s Evgeny Chernov makes one remarkable save and then somehow throws himself backwards and twists his body to avoid handballing on the line to make another more extraordinary one. David Luiz might not be performing heroics for Arsenal at the moment, but he has done for Brazil over the years. How did he get this over the bar? If it’s athleticism you appreciate most in a last-ditch clearance, see Kyle Walker and Sven van Beek. Meanwhile, this defender put so much effort into his clearance that he broke the goal in Brazil. Oh, and brilliant goalline clearances are not always performed by humans, either, as this stray dog showed in a third-tier match in Argentina.

2) College football is properly back with a … well, just watch this.

6) Don’t grow marijuana on rooftops along the Vuelta route.

1) Bury at Bramall Lane in 1902.
