Nottingham Forest's Eric Lichaj may have scored two goals against Arsenal at the weekend - including this stunner - but it wasn't quite enough to make his dream a reality.

Lichaj said: "My wife told me that if I score a hat-trick this year I can get a dog."
He was agonisingly close to the all-important third goal but was denied when his team-mate Kieran Dowell stepped up to take a penalty in the 85th minute and scored.
"I was trying to get the penalty but Vaughany (David Vaughan) told me politely to go away," he added.
