Kaminzimmer » blue-line and beat Lundqvist clean at the 9:

As the Premier League takes a break, we challenged the Soccer Saturday pundits to pick their top summer signing. Paul Merson, Charlie Nicholas, Phil Thompson and Matt Le Tissier have all delivered their verdict but while one Liverpool player has caught the eye, Manchester Uniteds star names Paul Pogba and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have made less of an impression.Read on to find out who the pundits have plumped for - and tell us your top signing so far by leaving a comment below or tweeting us @SkyFootball... Merse picks: Nathan RedmondThis is a leftfield one, but Im going for Nathan Redmond. He played up front at the start of the season and it didnt really work, but he gave it everything and now hes in a supporting role and a key to Southamptons impressive form.For what they paid for him - around £10m - and the prices in football these days, hes a bargain. People will say Zlatan Ibrahimovic as he was on a free but hes not when youre paying him £300,000 a week. Hes costing Manchester United a year what Southampton are paying Redmond for five seasons. See how Nathan Redmond found the net on his Southampton debut I also think hes bang unlucky not to be in the England squad. Hes performed every time hes been in the England U21s and now Gareth Southgate has made the step up, hes got to be thinking why am I not in his squad? What do I have to do? Its a no-brainer for me.Charlie picks: Christian BentekeThis is not just because hes scoring goals again but because he changes the philosophy of this Crystal Palace team. Christian Benteke has made an immediate impact at Palace His presence in the box is something theyve desperately needed for a number of season and gives Wilfried Zaha and Andros Townsend an additional option. Charlies Sky Bet tip Find out what Charlie is tipping up at 14/1 in his World Cup qualifier acca here. They started the season with back-to-back losses without scoring and are unbeaten in five since Benteke arrived, so if theres a team that have been transformed by a signing then it is Palace. Watch Benteke strike in Crystal Palaces 1-1 draw at Everton Thommo picks: Sadio ManeIf youre looking at a player who has transformed a side and injected what they needed then its Sadio Mane.People talk about this Liverpool team suddenly challenging for the title but whats the difference really been? I think its all about Mane and the pace he has injected. Sadio Mane has scored three goals in six starts since signing for £34m It is the one thing this Liverpool team lacked. Roberto Firmino, Philippe Coutinho and Adam Lallana have all been great but they were all there last year and hes brought the best out of them.His pace to drag defenders back allows these players play and I think hes had a massive impact. In a footballing sense, this guy does everything at 100 miles per hour. Re-live Manes solo stunner against Arsenal He destroyed Arsenal in that second half and all of us said he was overpriced but hes looking like a snip at a fraction of Paul Pogbas price.Le Tiss picks: Sadio ManeAs much as it hurts me, Id have to go with Mane as well. He has been outstanding in his first few games at Liverpool.I think him and Adam Lallana were the two most painful to lose as I enjoyed watching them. Theyre the guys that get you on the edge of your seat and are who the fans pay the money to watch. Mane scored 11 goals in his final season for Southampton I think if he finds the consistency that was missing at times at Southampton, and he did have periods where he didnt look particularly interested, then he certainly gives Liverpool a better chance of winning the league.Who gets your vote?

SOCHI, Russia -- Team Canadas best players brought their best game and left with gold. On the worlds biggest stage, Jonathan Toews and Sidney Crosby made good on their strong tournaments and controversial roster pick Chris Kunitz sealed the victory as Canada won its second straight Olympic gold medal in mens hockey with a 3-0 win over Sweden on Sunday. Canada did not trail at any point in the final or over the course of the entire tournament and finished as the first undefeated gold medallist since the Soviet Union in 1984 in Sarajevo, beating Norway, Austria, Finland, Latvia, the United States and Sweden along the way. Until Sunday, Toews and Crosby were two of Canadas best players through the first five games but did not have a goal to show for it. Canadian coach Mike Babcock brushed off concerns about a lack of offence from his forwards, figuring they would come but hoping the stars wouldnt "run out of time." Toews, who opened the scoring with a deflection in the first period, and Crosby, who beat Henrik Lundqvist on a breakaway in the second, delivered just in time. Putting up two goals meant Sweden would have had to score as many goals in the third period as Canada gave up in its first five games of the Olympics. That defensive dominance continued against Sweden, which was without first-line centre Nicklas Backstrom, a late scratch. NHL stars accustomed to more offensive roles continued to display the kind of hard-working defensive intensity Babcock needed out of them, limiting Swedens scoring chances in the process. Goaltender Carey Price made 24 saves for his second straight shutout to cap off his impressive tournament in which he allowed just three goals in five starts. By beating Sweden, Canada became the first back-to-back gold-medal winner since the NHL began sending its players in 1998. It was the first time Canada won gold in two straight Games since 1948 and 1952. And this didnt take a fortunate bounce Quality chances came fast and furious in the games first few minutes. Crosby generated the first one 57 seconds in when he batted the puck down and found Patrice Bergeron for a shot from between the circles that Lundqvist got in front of. Canadas Jamie Benn and Swedens Niklas Kronwall traded shots before Bergeron picked off a pass from Johnny Oduya three minutes in and shot it right into Lundqvist. Swedens best chance of the first period was a minute later, when Gustav Nyquists shot from close range hit the left post behind Price. Canadas starter looked behind him to see the puck inches from the goal line before covering it up. Bergeron continued his tremendous start by shooting off the shaft of Lundqvists stick and hitting the post 11 minutes in. That helped Canada turn the tide after being on the receiving end for a handful of shifts. It was the line of Patrick Marleau, Jeff Carter and Toews that has been together the longest thaat got Canada on the board at the 12:55 mark.dddddddddddd Carter skated down the right wing almost to the goal-line and found Toews streaking to the net. Able to keep his stick free from Patrik Berglund, Toews got it on the puck and deflected it off the inside of Lundqvists right pad and in. With Martin St. Louis inserted onto the fourth line in place of Patrick Sharp, Canada generated a couple of scoring chances and got a power play after Matt Duchene drew a penalty on Swedish defenceman Jonathan Ericsson. Unable to score in those two minutes, Canada went on the kill late in the first into the second after a Kunitz high-sticking penalty and got the job done. Canada had the lions share of chances throughout the second period, save for a couple of opportunities by Loui Eriksson and Erik Karlsson, who came into the day tied for the tournament lead in scoring. Karlsson also made a good stick check on Crosby to thwart the captain in open ice. But Crosby wasnt going to be denied at the 15:43 mark, when he poked the puck away from Ericsson at Canadas blue-line and blew right by Alexander Steen to get a breakaway. Crosby had just enough time to think, go backhand and bank the puck off Lundqvists left pad an into the net. It didnt have the drama of Crosby beating Ryan Miller for the golden goal in Vancouver four years ago, but as he raised his arms in the air it looked like Canada couldnt be beaten on this day. Kunitz, who made the team because of his natural chemistry with Crosby, did it all by himself to provide Canada with breathing room. Kunitz took the puck away from Daniel Sedin, skated over the blue-line and beat Lundqvist clean at the 9:04 mark of the third period. Because Canada gave up just three goals all tournament, that set off quite the celebration on the bench. Eleven players, including backup goaltender Roberto Luongo, won gold for the second straight Olympics. Crosby, Toews, Rick Nash, Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry, Marleau, Bergeron, Duncan Keith, Shea Weber and Drew Doughty got to celebrate twice. Some of the biggest contributors in getting Canada to the final came from newcomers, including Carter and Benn. But two of the three goal-scorers against Sweden -- Crosby and Toews -- were the same ones who scored to beat the United States in Vancouver in 2010. NOTES -- With Backstrom out, Sweden inserted defenceman Henrik Tallinder into the lineup because it did not have an extra forward. The Swedes were already without captain Henrik Zetterberg because of a herniated disk. ... Canada had no lineup surprises, scratching injured forward John Tavares and healthy defenceman P.K. Subban along with third goaltender Mike Smith. ...
