Did two players score the first goal of the Premier League season?

Hull welcomed Leicester City to the newly-named KCOM Stadium for the Premier League’s opener, and while at times the first-half was tepid the season’s first goal might have been a Premier League first.
After a smart save from Kasper Schmeichel both Abel Hernandez and Adama Diomande attempted a bicycle kick from close range, with both seemingly making contact with the ball before it ended up in the net.

It caused a lot of confusion.
Haha is it a shared goal for the new season? 😂 #HULLEI #PL

So if 2 players kick the ball at the same time.....who gets credited with the goal? 🤔#EPL #HulLei

The only game ever to have more goal scorers than goals! #HulLei

The goal has been compared to a scene from obscure Japanese anime Captain Tsubasa.

Some even thought the finish was pretty relevant, given that the Olympics is currently going on.
Synchronised scissor kicks is well Olympiad. #HulLei

Diomande was eventually credited with the goal, but that didn’t dampen anybody’s spirits.
First goal is standard joint overhead kick 🙃 wtf #HulLei #premierleagueisback

Nor did it stop the bookies from paying out on Hernandez as first goalscorer!
We're paying out on both Diomande & Hernandez as first goalscorer as a goodwill gesture... #HULLEI pic.twitter.com/cGKZEUJJdY

Billy Bob Thornton Denies Sleeping With Amber Heard

Depp apparently accused his wife of cheating on him with Billy Bob Thornton back in 2015, but the actor has completely denied all allegations. 'Our Brand Is Crisis' star Billy Bob Thornton has branded the suggestion that he slept with Amber Heard during the production of their latest movie 'London Fields' as 'completely false' according to reports from TMZ . The story is that he 'never socialized with Amber off set, other than a cast dinner', and adds that he had no on-set contact with her either, other than in a professional capacity.
