5 goals in 9 minutes! Lewandoski reacts to his historic feat.

Bayern Munich striker, Robert Lewandoski can do no wrong at the moment. The polish footballer’s superlative performance in his side’s game with Wolfsburg last night sent the football world into a frenzy. As a matter of fact, it is still a trending topic in sports circles.

The visitors were leading 1-0 until the 27 year-old stepped off the bench at half time and scored all five goals within an official time of eight minutes, 59 seconds sending the German club on top of the Bundesliga. ‎

He admitted having little idea of how the goals went in. He told German sky, “I have no idea how quick my hat-trick was, maybe five minutes? Okay, it was a bit quicker than that.”

“To score four goals in a Champions League semi-final was very important and a big story in my career, but to score five goals means this is another big evening for me. ‎I just wanted to shoot and shoot again. At 1-0 down, I had to score at least two goals.”

Bayern coach Pep Guardiola also confessed that “I’ve never experienced anything like that in my life! Five goals in nine minutes! Wow!. I may never see anything like that again, either.”

That was the first time five goals have been scored in a single German league match since Michael Toennies in August 1991.

Lewandoski has officially joined my growing list of footie crushes. 🙂

The Football Medical Association expresses disappointment over Eva Carneiro's Chelsea exit

The Football Medical Association has expressed its disappointment
over the treatment of former Chelsea team doctor, Eva Carneiro at the English
club. Eva quit the club this week one and a half months after her bust-up with Chelsea boss, Mourinho

A statement from the body reads

//
“The FMA is extremely disappointed
that Dr Eva Carneiro will not be resuming her full duties as first team doctor
at Chelsea Football Club. As the representative body for medicine and science
personnel in the professional game, the FMA aims to protect the rights of its
members.

“Having recently been contacted by
Eva, we have offered our full support in attempting to negotiate a satisfactory
outcome. Unfortunately this has not resulted in our preferred outcome. Chelsea
considers this now to be an internal matter and it is for Chelsea and Eva’s
appointed lawyers to discuss any further action.”

//

FA board member, Heather Rabbatts has described the medical professional
as a role model who to women/girls who aspire to work in football.

“Eva was one of the few very senior
women in the game, a highly respected doctor who has acted with professional
integrity in difficult circumstances and whose skills have been highly praised
by her colleagues, the club and governing bodies.

“On the 8th August
Eva fulfilled her duty as the senior medic and responded to the referee to
enter the field of play to treat a player.‎ Any other response would have been
a dereliction of her duty and a breach of GMC guidelines as confirmed recently
by the organisation of Premier League doctors.

“In acting properly she was then
subject to verbal abuse and public criticism and in effect demoted by her
removal from the bench. Her departure raises a serious question on how players
are safeguarded if their medical support is compromised.

“In addition, as Chair of the Inclusion Advisory Board, I have a responsibility to support women in the game and Eva has been a role model for many girls and women who aspire to work in football.

“Her treatment sends all the wrong messages.”

//
Actress cum politician Funke Adesiyan, has risen to the defence of her colleague and friend, Bimbo Thomas who was heavily criticised by blog commenters several days back for sharing a photo of herself relaxing in a beach in a swimsuit. Funke was shocked that A-list actress, Omotola ‎Jalade-Ekeinde was hailed and wasn’t subjected to backlash by commenters after appearing an inappropriate (according to her) outfit to a recent function.

‎

//
“I have read different blogs call my friend Bimbo Thomas different names for wearing a swimsuit to a beach, will she wear ‘agbada’ or what? I am confused, Omotola Jalade, a mother of four, wore a crop top, a style she should have left to her daughter and hypocrites hailed her as stunning. What could be more inappropriate? “We will do better by being real. Real time, real people. Bimbo is a beautiful person inside out. Sometimes her level of confidence almost intimidate me (believe me, not many people can intimidate me). “Leave celebrities alone. We are humans too. We deserve every bit of happiness that comes our way. As for me, I make myself happy irrespective of how they make people feel. I am me and very original at it. Bimbo, please rock on and post more amazing pictures from you.” She wrote
