That clearance was (I believe) the greatest of its kind I have ever seen at this club. It was art, dance, gymnastics and sex all at once.

Agreed. It was immense! But how many thought straight afterwards "that's the hamstring gone!"

vicario did a couple of good saves - but he was easily the poorest of the lot too
how did he fail to deal with this one

That goal-line clearance might be up there with Ricky Vila in terms of THFC cup final folklore.

The way he moved his body and the way he fell....i honestly thought that would be the end of his match.

Legendary stuff

football.london asked Van de Ven what was going through his head in that moment and how much the landing in the goal clearly hurt.

“I can tell you it was painful! Vic came out, the ball bounced on his head. I don’t know how to be honest. The ball came to Hojlund and I was like 'I need to go to the goal line because if he heads over Vic, that’s going to be a goal'," said the centre-back.

“I saw the ball coming and to be honest the ball was high and I was like 'I don’t know how I’m going to do this', but I just tried everything I could and I saved it. It was all worth it because we kept the clean sheet. Some back issues afterwards but it’s all worth it!"

If people haven’t noticed just how COYS this is, it’s a perfect homage to Peter Crouch.

Solanke fouled him, should have been a FK.

Because we kept the clean sheet.
Not because we won, not because it made us champions, but to keep the clean, that's the mentality monster right fudging there.
That's what we have been missing for years, probably since ledders.
