Jordan Henderson man! Just when you thought you saw everything out of that man, he does something like this and just render you speechless. Benefitting from a Vincent Kompany mistake (sound familiar), Joe Hart stretched as much as he could but couldn’t get anywhere close to Henderson’s shot. I agree with Arlo White, that’s a […]
