Garnacho wins Budweiser Goal of the Season award


 Argentinian's incredible overhead kick against Everton voted the best of 2023/24

Alejandro Garnacho's incredible overhead kick against Everton has been voted the 2023/24 Budweiser Goal of the Season.

Garnacho produced a sensational acrobatic finish to open the scoring in the third minute of Manchester United's 3-0 win at Everton, running away from goal to meet Diogo Dalot's back-post cross with a mid-air finish that flew into the top corner. It was one of the best Premier League goals of recent memory, and one that drew incredible reactions from Garnacho himself and people across the world.

"I can't believe it to be honest," Garnacho said after his goal. "I didn’t see how I scored. I just listened to the crowd and said, 'Oh my god.'"

he Argentinian's strike received the most combined votes by the public and a panel of football experts, topping a shortlist that featured each of the season's Budweiser Goal of the Month winners, plus one standout strike from May.

His goal beat those of Kaoru Mitoma, Bruno Fernandes, Saman Ghoddos, Alexis Mac Allister, Oscar Bobb, Kobbie Mainoo, Marcus Rashford, Cole Palmer and Moises Caicedo.

It is the first time a Man Utd player has won the award since its inception in 2016/17.

England's semi-final referee is a convicted bribe-taker and was called out as a 'match-fixer' by Jude Bellingham - but is still eligible to ref at Euro 2024 after taking two months off after the row

Image
The referee of England’s Euro 2024 semi-final is a convicted match fixer who was slated by Jude Bellingham after taking control a controversial Bundesliga match. Felix Zwayer, who will oversee Wednesday’s Three Lions’ fixture with the Netherlands, was banned for six months after being found to have accepted a €300 (£253.82) bribe from fellow referee Robert Hoyzer in a 2005 scandal.  And, after he oversaw Borussia Dortmund’s contentious 3-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in 2021 then Dortmund star Bellingham, who will play on Wednesday night, hit out at his appointment and was subsequently fined. ‘You can look at a lot of the decisions in the game,’ Bellingham said in a post-match TV interview.  ‘You give a referee, that has match-fixed before, the biggest game in Germany. What do you expect?’ Bellingham was subsequently fined €40,000 (£33,843) and even investigated by German police, while Zwayer took a two-month break from officiating.  Mail Sport has contacted UEFA for comment ...

Football agents accuse clubs of double standards over player contracts

Image
Agents have accused clubs of double-standards over two of the biggest deals this summer, with pressure piled on players to move to a different club before the end of their contract. Conor Gallagher has agreed a move to Atletico Madrid in Spain after it was made clear he risked being left out of the first-team squad if he did not sign a new deal, with a year remaining on his existing terms. Manchester United’s Leny Yoro, meanwhile, moved from Lille after the French club’s president described the youngster as having an “exit voucher” this summer due being in the last year of his contract. That effectively ruled out waiting for a dream move to Real Madrid in one year. Several intermediaries have spoken to Telegraph Sport over the power being in the hands of clubs when it comes to keeping and selling players even when they are tied to contracts. One leading agent said: “Everyone is brought up to honour contracts and when a players signs a deal they intend to see it through. “But clubs are ...
