Hand of God goal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1020 words)
	Maradona cut inside from the right flank and played a diagonal low pass to the edge of the area to teammate Jorge Valdano and continued his run in the hope of a one-two movement, Valdano's return, however, was played slightly behind Maradona and reached England's Steve Hodge, the left-midfielder who had dropped back to defend.
	However, Maradona (who was not offside, because the ball was last touched by Hodge, an opponent) reached it first — with the outside of his left fist.
	Maradona remained unpopular with the English press for many years and when he was later banned from football for drug use, the tabloid newspaper The Sun stated in a headline "Dirty Diego Gone For Good!".
