Messi 253 Goal Record Will Remain Unbeaten



Barca's 5-1 win over Sevilla has crowned Messi with an 'unreachable' 253 goals; setting an 'amazing' record in La Liga since former Athletic Bilbao forward Telmo Zarra's 251 goals in 1955. Barcelona Coach Luis Enrique says the 27-year-old's goal record will remain unbeaten. Cristiano Ronaldo trails behind with 197 goal record. In a BBC report, Enrique said, "He's a unique player - there'll never be anyone like him and we're lucky to enjoy his presence here. I think he will leave the record unreachable for anyone else. Zarra beat it in an age when there were more forwards than defenders."

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn
