When's a bad time for your football team to concede a penalty? 10 minutes in? 5 minutes? Try 10 seconds.

That's how long had been played when Chicago Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson clattered into Columbus Crew's Ethan Finlay when the two sides met in MLS. Incredibly it was Columbus' first penalty all season, and Federico Higuain (brother of Premier League target Gonzalo) scored to put the Crew on course for a 3-1 win which would keep them in the playoff places. https://twitter.com/AlsFootballBlog/status/622885624324976640
