Bayern boss takes a tumble
Arjen Robben’s winner for Bayern Munich against Werder Bremen was so good that coach Louis Van Gaal felt the need to run headfirst into the ground. Luckily they didn’t add a fourth and the Dutchman didn’t get the opportunity to inflict further self-harm.

Why didn’t Maradona finish the dribble against England with a backheel?
