BET Central’s Best Moments from the Weekend: 31 Jan- 1 Feb
Another beautiful weekend of sport is complete, so the BET Central office selected the best moments of the weekend.
In the match between Fuenlabrada and Girona in the Spanish second division, there was genuine chaos for over two minutes. Cristobal was originally sent off for a reckless high boot. VAR then changed this to a yellow and brought him back from the changing room.
The first thing Cristobal does when he gets back onto the pitch is confront a Girona player just to get a second yellow and be sent off again.
Amazing, just watch until the end.
A massive HIT at the Sydney Sevens on a very unsuspecting ball carrier… must watch.
?What a hit! Kazuma Nakagawa on the end of one from Francisco Hernandez in Japan’s clash with Spain. #Sydney7s

The MALDINI LEGACY continued at Milan ths weekend as Daniel Maldini, son of AC Milan legend Paolo and grandson of Cesare, made his Serie A debut in a 1-1 draw with Hellas Verona.
Unlike his family predecessors, who were both defenders, 18-year-old Daniel is an attacking midfielder.
Cesare won four Italian titles during his time as a player, then had two spells as Milan manager.
Paolo, whose 647 games is a Serie A record, won the league seven times as well as five Champions League titles.
Another of Paolo’s sons, Christian, played for Milan at youth level and is now plying his trade in the Italian lower leagues.
18-year-old Daniel Maldini has made his AC Milan debut.
He’s the third generation of Maldinis to play for the club after Cesare and Paolo. ?⚫ pic.twitter.com/F9x3jrIP8K

Spurs beat Man City 2-0 on Sunday but the if you saw the stats and watched the game, you would have been bemused by the eventual result. It was a match that showcased the beauty of sport.
Firstly, Spurs gaffer Jose Mourinho’s emotional rollercaster was caught on camera, it was a thing of beaty.
Then, Dutchman Steven Bergwijn marked a remarkable debut with a stunning snap-volley.
And lastly, have a look at the post match stats which indicates dominance from the visitors, but in sport, you can take things for granted and Spurs took their chances to snatch a massive win for the club and its manager.
This is bloody brilliant. Mourinho was celebrating Lloris’ penalty save on Gundogan but then when he remembered Sterling had a yellow card and Mike Dean didn’t book him for the second time for the dive, he was absolutely furious.
Vintage Jose ?
