Anthony Ujah scored Cologne’s fourth goal in a 4-2 win against Eintracht Frankfurt and he decided to celebrate with Cologne’s live goat mascot, Hennes. But instead of doing something nice like petting the goat or giving it a high five, Ujah went right for the horns and tried to pull Hennes back onto its hind legs.

All the madness of Aston Villa’s FA Cup quarterfinal pitch invasion
It’s been a while since Aston Villa had something to really celebrate. So, fully in the grips of Tim Sherwood Madness, Villa fans invaded the pitch after beating rivals West Brom for the second time in a week to book a trip to Wembley for the FA Cup semifinals.

DT Exclusive: Ask Kaka (Inaugural MLS edition)
Kaka and Orlando City are ready to begin their first season in MLS against fellow newcomers NYCFC and to mark the occasion, the 32-year-old Brazilian was once again kind enough to answer the questions of local school children. The following is a transcript of that session.
Marseille goalkeeper catches bottle thrown at him, offers reporter interviewing him a drink
While being interviewed after winning 6-1 at Toulouse, Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda proved that he is without a doubt the smoothest dude alive.

They should stop filming the next James Bond film and make one about Steve Mandanda instead.

Brighton player refuses to let knee injury stop him from doing backflip celebration
We all have certain things that are important to us. Aspects of ourselves that we consider to be the unshakable foundation of who we are as individuals. For Brighton & Hove Albion’s Kazenga LuaLua, the backflip goal celebration is an expression of that. And he wasn’t about to let a knee injury that kept him out for two months scare him off doing it.
The 24-year-old winger scored for the first time since returning from the injury in Brighton’s 2-0 win against Derby on Tuesday and despite his coaches’ disapproval, he celebrated with his backflip.
Petr Cech consoles Harry Kane after the Capital One Cup final
“Hey, Harry, I just wanted to say that I’m sorry about all this. I know it’s tough to lose a cup final. It happens to the best of us, though. See these hands? Even though you couldn’t get a single shot past them today, others have. And when they did, I was just as upset as you are. But look at me now! I’ve won yet another trophy and I couldn’t be happier. Pretty great, isn’t it?
