A LAW UNTO ITSELF
Wednesday night delivered plenty of Cup drama around Europe. In the Carling, there were a couple of notable upsets – West Ham beat a soggy burrito of an Arsenal side lacking Rice in the middle, while Manchester City’s reserves stunned former Premier League winners Blackburn, and plenty of their own fans, with a 2-0 home win. And that was about it. No, we said upsets. The biggest shock of all, however, came in Germany’s DFB-Pokal, where the third-tier side sent Bayern Munich crashing out in the second round. The fact they did so despite going a goal down, then fighting back and scoring an added-time winner on the break as Harry Kane sat dumbfounded on the bench, only makes their victory more impressive/amusing.
