Watch moment Hibs hero Kieron Bowie scores 30-yard ‘Puskas contender' against Partizan Belgrade
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Hibs were up against it. They had conceded two soft goals at Easter Road to wipe out their two-goal first leg lead in their Conference League qualifier with Partizan Belgrade.

Step up Kieron Bowie. Easter Road has bared witness to some great goals over the years, including even last Sunday when Kilmarnock's Ben Brannan introduced himself with a stunning volley. Bowie's goal against Partizan was arguably even better and will have no doubt given Steve Clarke, who was at the game, food for thought for his next Scotland squad. Scotland play Denmark at the start of next month as the World Cup qualifiers get underway. The 22-year-old joined the Hibees last summer from Fulham and he will struggle to score a better goal in the whole of his career. The striker was 30 yards out, used his body well to hold off the defender, before instinctively launching a stunning looping half-volley with his left foot, which gave the goalkeeper absolutely no chance. It was so good, team-mate Martin Boyle had his hands behind his head barely able to believe - like most in Easter Road - what he had just seen. Seconds later Bowie raced over to the touchline to hug boss David Gray before he was mobbed by ecstatic team-mates. Michael Stewart who was on commentary for the game on BBC Scotland said: "What a goal, what a finish, what a player!" Hibs flag stolen by Partizan Belgrade ultras who broke through security barrier "The awareness to know where the goal is, the strength to hold off his man. Unstoppable, just when his team were needing it the most he has come up with an absolute wonder-goal." One fan on social media said: "Puskas contender." Another added: "I hear Celtic need a striker." A third commented: "Get him in the Scotland squad this guy can play." A fourth said: "Genuinely one of the best goals I've ever seen watching live."

Savinho's agents jet in from Brazil in bid to push through move to Tottenham from Man City - with star eager to secure regular football
Savinho's agents are bound for Europe in a bid to secure the transfer he wants from Manchester City to Tottenham. Frederico Moraes of ProManager left Brazil on Thursday with a view to further negotiations next week. Spurs are keen on Savinho who moved to City from Girona in Spain a year ago and the move appeals to the 21-year-old winger because he wants to star as a Premier League regular not a fringe player in the season with a World Cup at the end. Pep Guardiola has been seeking ways to trim the size of his squad as part of a reboot at the Etihad Stadium, but City have demanded £67million according to reports in Brazil. Tottenham are also in pursuit of Eberechi Eze, who would cost a similar figure. They are in talks with Crystal Palace and inching closer to a deal but not yet in agreement. Arsenal have shown an interest in Eze but at present, the 27-year-old England forward looks most likely end up at Spurs. Thomas Frank wants to sign both players. It is not a case of one of the other. They have different profiles and would fulfil very different roles in squad if he managed to secure them both. He is desperately short of creativity with both James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski injured long term and this was evident from open play in the Super Cup, when the twp Spurs goals came from set pieces. Frank though will be cautious having seen a move for Morgan Gibbs-White collapse in the final stages. Tottenham's performance in the Super Cup, however, might convince any potential targets they are a serious outfit going into this season. They led Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 before conceding two goals late on and losing on penalties. 'It is the beginning of a journey together,' said midfielder Joao Paulinha, who made his debut against PSG after a loan move from Bayern Munich. 'It's a new team for me. Tottenham is a great club. It has all the conditions to achieve good things. 'It showed in the past and for sure it will show again in the future. We have a top coach with a top human being. I think we have all the conditions together to achieve good things.

Trump tips hand at DC-like takeovers of LA and NYC for Olympics and World Cup: ‘We'll go military if we have to'
President Donald Trump appeared to hint that he could initiate a federal takeover of Los Angeles and New York City ahead of the 2028 Olympic Games and the 2026 World Cup next year. During an Oval Office event Thursday, Trump was asked about this week's federal takeover of the police in Washington, D.C., and whether he had a response to criticism from the Democrats that the move was an attempt to 'start a new news cycle.' In response, Trump accused the Democrats and the media of lying about the crime rate in D.C. and in the same breath, launched into a spiel about the Olympics in LA. He briefly mentioned the 2026 World Cup, where the final will be held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, which is being billed as the 'New York New Jersey Stadium' on FIFA's website. LA was confirmed as the host of the 2028 Olympics in 2017. 'People are so happy to see our military going into D.C. and getting these thugs out,' Trump claimed. 'We're getting people that have arrest records that you wouldn't believe…in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles…' Trump claimed the Olympics would not be going ahead in LA had he not sent in the National Guard in June after protests flared up in response to anti-immigration raids in the city. 'If I didn't send in the troops, I don't think you would've had Los Angeles in condition to have the Olympics,' Trump said. 'I want to make sure the Olympics is great, the World Cup is great…and maybe most important of all is the 250-year celebration is great.' He then added: 'If I didn't go and put our military there, or National Guard in that case — and we'll go military if we have to — but the National Guard were there and were very effective.' Trump has established task forces for both major sporting events and will be heavily involved in each of them. Earlier in the week, as he deployed National Guard troops into the nation's capital, Trump also threatened to wade into other cities. 'We're not going to lose our cities over this. This will go further. We're starting very strongly with D.C., and we're going to clean it up real quick,' Trump told reporters. 'We're going to take back our capital. And then we'll look at other cities also. But other cities are studying what we're doing.' The president also said this week that he expects Congress to approve the extension of his federal takeover in D.C. beyond 30 days. 'We're going to be asking for extensions on that, long-term extensions, because you can't have 30 days,' Trump said Wednesday at the Kennedy Center. Washington, D.C. is a unique case due to the Home Rule Act, which allows the president to take control of the Metropolitan Police Department for federal purposes during emergencies if 'special conditions of an emergency nature exist.' However, Trump can't deputize federal troops, including state National Guard detachments, to conduct crime-control activities without the cooperation of state leaders and a rationalization for doing so.
