can't believe it took a deflection......again !! perhaps with Hamer saving it & the one that somehow landed in his arms and not over the line our luck has finally changed.
Still don't know how he did that. If it had been a Man U keeper and on SkySports it would have been on a non-stop loop on every bulletin for 24 hours. ITV didn't even show it in the highlights.
I think Thuram may have volleyed it away tbh. I watched the game with Arabic commentary last night and it sounded like they were calling Hamer- Bin Hameer - which seemd quite apt with his beard!
I'm going to play devil's advocate and state that whilst it was an outstanding save, the deflection took some of the pace off the ball and it's easier to move upwards (having initially moved downwards) than the other way around.

Must resist the urge to make a comment about it bobbling into his arms a la Morrison/Thuram on Sat.......

On a side note that save may well have made the club £180k (or whatever the prize money is for this round + tv rights for next)
