Strahinja Pavlovic's goal against Torino was a 30-yard half-volley that crashed in off the bar, making it a strong contender for goal of the season.

When Demetriou, the then Walsall defender, scored the only goal of his 51-cap international career to put Cyprus 2-1 up in Israel, the small but raucous red corner of the Bilino Polje Stadium burst into scenes of pure elation.

You have to take it step by step to achieve big goals. I look up to Rodri [Hernandez Cascante] a bit in that respect; for me, he was one of the best for a long time. Training and playing alongside players like Joshua Kimmich, [Harry] Kane, and others every day is unique.

Before his injury, Luciano Spalletti had put Vlahovic back at the centre of his plans. This confidence may change his mind, while the striker - with his professionalism and sense of belonging - has impressed the management. The central issue remains his salary. Juventus are open to discussing a new deal, but on a different financial basis than in the past.

Manchester United, the spotlight of this report, is currently placed 5th in the Premier League and has appointed Michael Carrick to coach the team till the end of the season after sacking Ruben Amorim. Usually, few clubs rival Bayern Munich when it comes to changing coaches as if they were used underwear, but Manchester United can give them a run for their money. Unfortunately, changing coaches has never seemed to fix what seems to be more of a systemic issue in Manchester.

The Croatian manager has had a mixed spell at the German club, and a report from Fichajes claims he is on Manchester United's shortlist. The Premier League side is considering multiple options, and it will be interesting to see whether they decide to make a move for him. Michael Carrick is currently the club's interim manager and is likely to be shown the door at the end of the season.

After completing the signing of Niclas Füllkrug, the AC Milan management are carefully planning how the attack of the future might look. As Tuttosport report this morning, Füllkrug has so far made a positive impact. The 32-year-old has adapted well, having made his debut against Cagliari on January 2, and then having performed well off the bench against Genoa (could have won a penalty) and Fiorentina (should have had multiple assists). Most recently, he scored a game-winning header against Lecce less than two minutes after coming on. It's still unclear whether the former West Ham player will get a chance to start in Rome on Sunday evening, but his contribution will be needed nonetheless. Milan are greatly appreciating how the German has embraced this adventure, with his spirit, enthusiasm and dedication. Füllkrug is surprising everyone, and if he keeps going this way then buying him permanently for €5m could be a given, especially with Champions League football.
