Watch: Players concede penalty kick by picking up ball in their penalty area TWICE in same game

If an award was given out for “strangest soccer moment of the year” then we have a winner. On Sunday two penalty kicks were awarded for players picking up the ball with their hands during the 2. Bundesliga game between FC Magdeburg and SpVgg Greuther Fürth.

The madness began in the 13th minute when Fürth defender Gideon Jung thought his side had a goal kick. Jung’s goalkeeper rolled the ball to him and when he picked it up, he realized to his horror that it was an actual pass… not to take a goal kick.

Watch: Spurs keeper Guglielmo Vicario gets away with blatant handball outside of box

Watch: Declan’s Rice red card vs. Brighton is as comical as it controversial

The Declan Rice red card from Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Brighton on Saturday was one of the more bizarre moments you’ll see in a Premier League game.

Rice received his first yellow card in the 42nd minute for a tough challenge on Joël Veltman. Nothing crazy there.

It was the 25-year-old’s second yellow card that baffled fans everywhere.

In the 49th minute Rice fouled Veltman again deep in Brighton’s territory. The Arsenal man lingered around a little too long and when Veltman tried to take the free kick quickly he ended up cleaning out Rice.

Watch: Brenden Aaronson scores late equalizer then misses golden chance to win the game

United States men’s national team and Leeds United forward Brenden Aaronson had himself a day in the EFL Championship opening weekend on Saturday. The American scored a 95th minute equalizer to draw Leeds level at 3-3 with Portsmouth.

Aaronson was brought on as a substitute in the 72nd minute with the score tied at 2-2. It looked like the opening game would end in disaster for Leeds when Portsmouth scored in the 92nd minute to take the lead.
