    Anyone see the game between Atletico Madrid and Recreativo last night? Atletico won 2-1, courtesy of one of the cheekiest goals you will ever see. Striker Sergio Aguero blatently hit the ball into the net with his hand at the back post from an Atletico corner.

    Go to around the 2-minute mark in the video. Amazing stuff.

    Ha ha what a sham of a game. The two penos were blatant dives to start with then that happens. Although as Maradona said, if you can get away with it it's not cheating.

    Hes a superb player, seemingly the reason they quite happy to sell Torres.


    Real and valencia lost only Barca and Athletic won from top 5.

    Yeah, they were bad as well! Not one of the ref's better nights I imagine!

    I recall Morten Gamst Pederson doing something similar against Newcastle last season, but don't think it was that blatent.

    How do you figure? Cheating is cheating regardless of whether you are caught. Thats like saying hammering down the M50 at 150mph isnt speeding unless theres a cop there to catch you.

    Yeah and if a tree falls in the woods and there's no one there to hear it does it make a sound? You can apply it to anything. The point is that he tried it and got away with it. Doesn't make it right but I doubt he's gonna come out and plead that the goal be taken away.

    After all this time, it's hardly Hand of God Mark II...

    It's a British media rant phrase, and sure didn't England cheat their way into Euro92 with a handball goal by Dennis Wise in Turkey?

    I just watched the clip there. 2 of the most blatant dives i've seen in a while Ronaldo would be proud :D .

    The handball was classic, i love the way he dipped his head to try disguise the action! How the lines man didnt see it is crazy. I can understand the referee having a problem cause he was behind the player and had restricted view.

    On a side note it still suprises me that they dont position 2 lines men either side for corner kicks it would provide more coverage to see incidents like this.
