Lech put spotlight back on Poland

POLISH football has endured its fair share of agony in the past few years, including a serious betting and match-fixing scandal, but a couple of games in the past week suggest that a revival might be on the cards.

Lech Poznan may have enjoyed a slice of good fortune in beating Manchester City on Thursday. City failed to take their chances and Lech got a freak goal.

But it was a very ‘English’ performance that won the game, both on and off the pitch.
