Cillian Sheridan walking away from excuses and scoring lots of goals

A brilliant sight in the sixth minute of the Cypriot First Division league match between Omonoia Nicosia and Anorthosis last Sunday: Cillian Sheridan lays off the ball out near midfield. The ball is then switched out to the wing and the defence begins to creak...

Sheridan sees space inside the penalty box, points to the winger where he wants the ball played. The goalkeeper sees the intended pass and comes flying out, but Sheridan gets there first. A neat touch with the right is followed by a gorgeous sweep of the left. And the ball is in the net. No doubts, no fuss.

Sometimes you look at a player playing any sport and ask will they ever score again. Other times you wonder how they ever scored in the first place.
