Watching the Rome derby live. Roma have taken the lead in the past few minutes. Just seen a first - one of the Lazio subs has just been sent off. Yes, he wasn't playing tat he time. One of the Roma players threw water in his face when he was on the line. He reacted and pulled his shirt and got sent off. Roma just gone 2-0 up.

Yes, that's a really weird one - so he just pulled the shirt of the guy that splashed water in his face to provoke him?

Yes. Roma scored, as they were celebrating, one of their players got a bottle of water at the line and proceeded to squirt the water in the face of one of the Lazio subs. He lost the head and pulled the shirt of the guy who squirted the water in his face who then proceeded to drop as though he was hit by a ton of bricks. This resulted in a mass brawl between all 22 players and both benches. The guy who squirted the water got a yellow and the sub was given a straight red. The first time I have ever seen a sub not on the playing field sent off.

On another note, I see Getafe have won their last two games away at Cordoba last week 1-3 and at home to Sevilla on Friday night 2-0. They now sit in the play off spots in fourth place. Love to see Ale get promoted to La Liga with them.

Yes, since your visit, that seems to have inspired them, I've been following the Getafe results and they are doing really well - Ale's name was not on the teamsheet for the Cordoba match, perhaps he was nursing an injury?

Cordoba 1 Getafe 3
But I see he was back as a sub for the Sevilla match which is good news:-

Getafe C.F. 2 Sevilla AT 0

Fantastic display by Bournemouth to come out 4-3 winners, after being 2-0, then 3-1 down - Klopp must be doing his nut - if only we could demonstrate that kind of gutsy determination to overcome adversity in our matches. Along with the lucky Boruc today, a very dodgy Liverpool keeper.

Robbie Savage quotes:-

Liverpool need to buy goalkeeper in January !

If I was klopp I'd go for hart and van dijk in January ! Would city sell hart to a rival ??

Klopp was laughing at the end.
 
Maarten Stekelenburg adds to the growing list of weekend goalkeeping bloopers.

At least Artur Boruc ended the day with a smile on his face.

Phil McNulty - Some terrible goalkeeping this weekend - and Stekelenburg's effort right down there.


Gary Lineker - Lovely finish from Ibrahimovic but why do Keepers come out under those circumstances? Creating a chance for the striker out of nothing.

Robbie Savage - I have no idea why Stekelenburg rushed out. He made Ibrahimovic's mind up for him.

Callum Anderson: A bizarre goal by Zlatan! An absolute aberration by Stekelenburg though

Dental Mental: Stekelenberg what on earth are you doing

Matt Chapman: Yes it's bad from the keeper but Funes Mori just ambles back towards the line - he could have prevented the goal easily

GOAL - Everton 0-1 Man Utd
Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Incredible! Our first shot on target finally arrives - and it leads to our opening goal.

Anthony Martial lumps forward a hopeful ball from inside his own half, drawing Maarten Stekelenburg out of his goal.

But the Everton keeper is beaten to the ball by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who lobs his former Ajax team-mate and - via crossbar and post - drops the ball into the net.

Great finish. But what was Stekelenburg thinking? Perhaps he was just bored.

As long as you don't go via Southend, I'm game. From here, flight to Dusseldorf and a train to Dortmund. March/April would be my preferred time.
