Description

Sorry in advance if I should have opened a separate issue but...

The same clip is also viewable at:
https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/25103188
and the ESPN extractor is invoked...however the ESPN extractor failed.

So

1. The ESPN extractor should also recognize espn.co.uk (not fall back to generic)
   ...and
2. The ESPN extractor might need some attention.

Thanks as always
Ringo

I'm adding this feature right now. Probably pushing it in less than a week.

Hi there. I've fixed espn.py in my fork. Now URLs with the format https://www.espn.co.uk/video/clip/_/id/<video_id> could be downloaded by the program. Do note that the "--no-check-certificate" flag should be turned on while running the program.
