This episode of the Athletic FC is brought to you by TNT Sports, your destination for football's not normal moments.

Whether it's the Premier League or your way for Champions League or the men's and women's FA Cup,

every match day brings drama, excitement and brilliance that simply cannot be explained.

What do we mean?

It's Cole Palmer with ice in his veins scoring a last-minute winner.

It's a trademark lung-busting box-to-box

run by Declam Rice, Islamin Yamal embarrassing defenders almost twice his age. TNC Sports brings

you football in its most unpredictable jaw-dropping glory with the very best domestic and

European club competitions live and all in one place. So forget normal because normal's boring.

From the outrageous to the unexpected with added bits of chaos, craziness and fun that only football can deliver, it's got to be TNT Sports. With the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, Europa League, Conference League, Emirates, FA Cup, and Adobe Women's FA Cup all in one place. TNT Sports, not normal.
