10 days ago BBC

Jordan Kirkpatrick will go down as the man who gave Darvel the biggest and best night in their 134-year existence. The goal hero's response to how he would celebrate what is arguably the biggest Scottish Cup shock since the competition began in 1873-74 spoke volumes of the contrast between Darvel and Aberdeen.

Sheffield United 2-2 Norwich City: Teemu Pukki scores twice but misses penalty for Canaries

Last updated on .From the section ChampionshipTeemu Pukki charged down Adam Davies' attempted clearance for Norwich's opening goalTeemu Pukki scored twice but saw a late penalty saved as Norwich and Sheffield United had to settle for a point each at Bramall Lane. The Canaries, beaten in their previous three matches, went in front when goalkeeper Adam Davies was slow to clear a backpass, allowing Pukki to close down the space - and the ball rebounded off him into the net. Pukki added his second - and his seventh of the season - as a kind deflection off defender John Egan gave him enough space to angle a shot across Davies and into the far corner. United raised their game after the break and Ben Osborn and Oli McBurnie pulled them level, before Davies atoned for his earlier error by saving Pukki's spot-kick after he had been fouled in the box by John Egan. The Blades remain fourth in the Championship, four points behind the top two, QPR and Blackburn, with Norwich sixth, a point further back.

will Dominic Calvert-Lewin achieve World Cup dream?

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored one goal in two Premier League starts this seasonA knee injury has troubled Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin so far this season, but has his return to fitness come just in time for him to be considered for England's World Cup squad? "It's been a while, one I've been waiting for, one I've been looking forward to and I felt like myself. Asked if he can do enough to catch the manager's eye before England's World Cup squad is announced next month, Calvert-Lewin added: "It's every boy's dream to go to the World Cup. Calvert-Lewin was part of the England squad that reached the Euro 2020 final, although he only played 18 minutes during the tournament. "Dominic has to show how fit and fresh he is for Everton and today was an all-round performance of what he is, which makes him an England striker, Everton striker and Premier League striker," added Lampard.
