The Best Thing We Shared

Sometimes being a goalkeeper is a thankless task. Not last night for Partizani Tirana’s Alban Hoxha who took the phrase penalty shoot-out heroics to new heights as he saved three spot kicks after nervelessly dinking in a Panenka of his own.

On The Record

The NRL could have suspended Corey Norman for any part of that paragraph.
