2. Judge Makes Baseball History

Aaron Judge etched his name into the record books this September, becoming the 6th player ever to hit 60 or more Home Runs in a single MLB season.

With the MLB playoffs not commencing until October, Judge has time to continue to up his number even further! Check out the historic 60th Home Run hit here.

3. Kyler’s Magic Feet

September also saw the commencement of the 2022 NFL Season, producing multiple sports highlights from the league’s first few games. A moment of magic from Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray caught the attention of fans all across social media. Murray’s elusiveness on a 2 point conversion after a touchdown saw him escape pressure from all angles, somehow managing to dart his way into the endzone. Murray proved pivotal throughout the game, as the Cardinals rallied from being 20 to 0 down to win the game in overtime.

4. Aces Win Their First Title

To the WNBA now, where the conclusion of the season saw the Las Vegas Aces claim victory over the Connecticut Sun, winning the finals in 3 games to 1.

Watch star player Chelsea Gray produce a moment of brilliance under pressure, and see the jubilation of when all the Aces’ hard work came to fruition.


5. Alcaraz’s US Open Victory

Carlos Alcaraz claimed his maiden Grand Slam victory last month, winning the US Open and cementing his place as World Number One. At just 19 years old, Alcaraz is the youngest person to have reached the achievement of being ranked top. However, it was the Spaniards heroics in his semi-final clash with the US’ Frances Tiafoe that had tennis fans everywhere in awe.

6. Terrific from Toney

There were many memorable moments produced from Brentford’s 5-2 demolition of Leeds, but none stands out more than Ivan Toney’s 43rd minute free kick to put the Bees 2-0 up. The stunning strike saw the ball nestle itself perfectly in the top right corner of the net, making it an almost impossible shot to stop. Toney’s Man of the Match performance saw him complete a hat-trick, with his most memorable goal capturing the eyes of fans across social media.

Spanish star player Juancho played a big part in the win, scoring 27 points on the night.

8. Haaland’s Acrobatic Hit

Erling Haaland was a man on top form during September, scoring goal after goal for Manchester City. During the Champions League clash between City and Borussia Dortmund, it took Haaland longer than usual to find the net, yet he delivered, scoring in the 83rd minute. The goal was one that was worth the wait, as Haaland connected with a sublime assist from Joao Cancelo, stretching his leg above his opponents to poke the ball into the net. Truly unbelievable!
