Fulham brought on Tom Cairney. He looks like a professor who forgot his glasses. Then he played a perfect pass. A delicious pass. It split the defense like a hot knife through butter. 8/10 for artistry, 0/10 for looking like a footballer.
Middlesbrough’s Riley McGree came on and tried a backheel. It hit the wrong player. A Boro coach’s dog started barking. I’m not making this up. Quirky fact: McGree has now attempted 47 backheels in his career. Four have worked. He gets a 5/10 for effort.
