Bulgarian defender employs volleyball techniques in goal mouth

Yesterday afternoon, Aston Villa faced Bulgarian side PFC Litex Lovech in the UEFA Cup. As you probably know by now, the Midlands side came out 3-1 victors, while nearly 7,000 fans watched the home side get two players sent off.

The second red card offence is pure comedy cheating. Head to (0.56) in the video above to see defender Mihail Venkov spike the ball with a thunderous volleyball serve that makes Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’ look pretty subtle. How on Earth did he think he would get away with it? The mind boggles.
