🎥 OTD 2021: Danny Ings scores stunning overhead kick for Aston Villa 🚀
The start of a new season is the perfect time for new arrivals to make a statement at their club. That's exactly what forward Danny Ings did on his home debut for Aston Villa on this day in 2021. The former Liverpool striker completed a £25m move from Southampton that summer and announced himself in the best possible way against Newcastle United. A long throw into the box from Matty Cash was flicked on by Tyrone Mings, falling perfectly for Ings, who scored an outrageous overhead kick. Villa went on to secure a 2-0 win over the Magpies that day, with Anwar El Ghazhi scoring the other goal from the penalty spot. 📸 OLI SCARFF

The unlikely alliance between Sunderland AFC and Mexican football fans
Sunderland have acquired the unlikely support of a large group of South American social media users in a bizarre alliance forged online. Black Cats fans might have noticed replies to club posts on social media featuring more Mexican flags and Spanish language than usual since the club's return to the top flight. This is for one reason alone, Mexicans decided en masse to support the club this year. "Twitter Mexico is getting together to support a random European team this season to throw fans off when they see Mexicans cheering for them. The chosen team is Sunderland," a popular Mexican football fan account on X said in a post. "This season all of Mexico is with Sunderland." And, following the club's impressive 3-0 win over West Ham on the opening day, the messages from Mexico did not stop, with new fans pouring in to show their support for the newly-promoted team. The club responded: "¡Hola, Mexico! We're proud to have your passion with us this season," and have also posted a video of players answering questions about Mexican culture. Sunderland has been flooded by Mexican memes in the comments section, with various internet characters professing their love of Sunderland in Spanish, while others have promoted some Mexican players that the Wearside club could look to sign in the transfer window.

More colourful responses include hailing results as "Pure f****** Sunderland" with imagery of a skeleton brandishing automatic guns and donning a red and white scarf. One thing is for sure, if Sunderland gain nothing else from their first season back in the Premier League since 2017, they have made a mark on the international stage out of pure, good natured, internet fun.
