Grammar
Sentece without subject
While reading a football article on The Telegraph, I read with this sentence here:
"SAMI KHEDIRA 8
One half of arguably the best defensive midfield partnership in Europe alongside the peerless Alonso. *Broke forward well and was unlucky not to score after bursting through on goal in first-half."
I'm having trouble realizing whether the second sentence is grammatically a sentence or not. A sentence is a usually a unit of thought and will contain a subject and a verb, except for the imperative sentence of course, but I cant find the subject anywhere in the selected sentence.
Any one keen to help?
