SLAB FOOT

Harry Maguire scored a goal NOT with his head to make you question everything you believed

He's the man who just keeps on giving

Nobody was expecting this to go in.

Harry Maguire’s ‘slab head’ quickly became everyone’s favourite thing about the World Cup.

The Leicester defender and his magnet skull sent pints flying everywhere, as he spent the summer channelling Paolo Maldini.

The 25-year-old has seen his stock rise dramatically since the tournament, and found himself heavily linked with a move to Man United during the transfer window.

All eyes have been on Maguire since the season began, with everyone waiting for the moment that he buries his first header of the campaign.

It took him just three games to get on the score sheet, however it was the least Maguire-isque goal you will ever see.

Leicester and Southampton were locked at 1-1 deep into stoppage time.

Just when a point for both sides looked all but confirmed, up stepped Maguire to produce a moment of magic.

Be prepared to question everything you once believed…

The centre-back found himself in space outside the Saint’s penalty area.
