3 vines to heaven: How Valon Behrami saved Switzerland's day

The former West Ham midfielder sparked his side’s injury-time points grab.

SWITZERLAND OPENED THEIR 2014 World Cup account with a win over Ecuador thanks to an injury-time goal by Haris Seferović.

However, the real Swiss hero was Napoli midfielder Valon Behrami.

The former West Ham man made a crucial sliding tackle in his box, sprung away on the break and teed-up his team for a match-winning attack. Behrami’s efforts were so fantastic that it takes three Vines to capture the move in its entirety.
