The incident during the U18 England Cup quarter-finals between Newcastle and Chelsea bears a striking resemblance to Diego Maradona’s infamous “Hand of God” goal in the 1986 World Cup. In this match, Newcastle midfielder Olivier Kemen scored a goal with his hand, reminiscent of Maradona’s controversial goal.
Despite Kemen’s goal, Newcastle ended up losing the match to Chelsea with a score of 3-2. The incident has sparked discussions and comparisons to Maradona’s historic moment, highlighting the enduring impact of such controversial actions in football history.
