    Football: Best defensive tackles and goal-line clearances of 2020
  • Defensive tackles made by players in football is an art in itself.

    From throwing the bodies in and sticking a foot out to get the ball is often all about calculation.

    Besides, defenders and keepers are often seen making goal-line clearances to prevent the ball from going into the back of the net.

    2020 was another year where these things were witnessed.

    Here's more.

  • In October 2020, Liverpool were up against Ajax in the Champions League group stage match.

    The Reds managed to hold on to a 1-0 victory against the Dutch side.

    Mid-fielder Fabinho, who was deployed as a central defender, impressed largely.

    The Brazilian made four tackles, besides a goal-line clearance after keeper Adrian was somehow lobbed in his six-yard box.

  • In March, Liverpool's James Milner made a vital goal-line clearance to help Liverpool win 2-1 against Bournemouth.

    The clash saw Liverpool come back from behind.

    However, Bournemouth could have equalized when Ryan Fraser beat the Reds backline before chipping the ball over Adrian.

    Milner rushed to the back and acrobatically stuck his leg out to send the ball out of play.

    Son Heung-min scored the only goal after being assisted by Harry Kane.

    Notably, Kane showed his prowess in preventing Burnley from scoring.

    Burnley earned a corner and James Tarkowski rose the tallest to head the ball towards the net.

    However, Kane made a game-saving clearance off the line.
