He finds Son with a lovely through pass into the area, who takes a touch and fires a slightly deflected shot past Ederson to double Tottenham's lead! KEY STATS Steven Bergwijn became the 250th player to score on his debut in the Premier League. Manchester City have failed to score in two consecutive games under Guardiola for the first time.
In no way condones’? Good lord. It does no good to say ‘we do not agree’ – you have to expressly condemn it, promise to investigate and announce you’ll ban for life anyone found engaging in a hate crime. Because that’s what this is. It should be noted that the statement doesn’t appear on West Ham’s Twitter feed or even their website, when a strong message could have been sent to anyone even thinking about engaging in homophobia at football again.
That was against the run of play! 67’ MESSI. That would have been a classic of the genre from Messi! Alba played the ball back to the Argentine and he attempted to chip a finish over Robles, but it drifts just wide of the far post! 72’ GOAL! Real Betis 2-3 Barcelona: Barcelona have turned this game on its head! What a header that was from Lenglet! The French defender got on the end of a freekick delivery into the box and loops a header over Robles who slipped as he attempted to make the save! 77’ SENT OFF! Fekir has been shown a second yellow card! Real Betis will finish this match with 10 men! The home team players are now surrounding the referee as they believe that was harsh! Fekir was shown a first yellow card for a foul on Lenglet and then a second for arguing! 79’ SENT OFF! Real drama at the Benito Villamarin as Lenglet is shown a second yellow card for a foul on Joaquin! Now Barcelona are down to 10 men and this match might not be over after all! KEY STATS Lionel Messi is now the second player in Europe’s top five leagues to have notched double figures in goals and assists (after Jadon Sancho).
The second is to reflect on yet another example of the uncertainty and errors that continue to grip goalkeeper David de Gea's game. Let's deal with Pogba first. Make no mistake, there is a world-class talent locked in this tall and powerful figure, but previous inconsistencies and the general noise around him mean a note of caution must always accompany any suggestion that he is on the point of finally cracking it on a consistent basis at United.
yeah not much is needed to be said about this battle of 2 of the best defensive giants .Liverpool want to prevent themselves from an unbecoming exit in the champions league Atletico want to do what they do best that is knockout the beasts of Europe .Liverpool need 2 goals to seal this win but Madrid who will be defending a goal from the first leg will be aiming to prevent conceding of a goal and aim to chock Liverpool by adding more goals. This will be a game of serious defending coupled with serious need for goals. Three or less goals for this 1
Could be just a one goal win for the guests here like last season when they won the game with 2-1 but unlike last season Chateauroux is much weaker at this moment sitting inside the relegation zone with really few points won by them even from home games, for example a few days ago they played in the cup against out of form Niort team and needed extra-time the game and they still lost it in the end and Lorient is much stronger than Niort so I really see few problems for the guests to be getting the win here in this one.
Gabriel Jesus confirmed the champions' superiority after the break as they moved a point behind Leicester and 11 adrift of Liverpool, who have a game in hand because of their FIFA World Club Cup campaign which ended in triumph on Saturday. The day's action had begun at Goodison Park where Everton and Arsenal had their incoming managers in the directors' box, with both left mulling over a dire 0-0 draw.
On Wednesday, he completed a transfer from Wimbledon to Chelsea, after eight years at his former club. View more on instagramSome of you may remember Leo's old man Stewart Castledine, who played for Wimbledon FC from 1991 until 2000, and his mum is former Homes Under The Hammer host Lucy Alexander. Before signing for Chelsea, Leo told BBC Sport a bit about some of his biggest achievements with Wimbledon, his ambitions and which players he compares himself to.
Burton Albion have been in excellent form in the last weeks in the league with 5 wins in the last 6 games and they have climbed up to the 9th place in the league. They now only 2 points behind Oxford United, who are currently on the last playoff place.
Six of their last 10 home matches have produced over 2. In the Bundesliga, Schalke are unbeaten in their last eight matches at home, winning four and drawing the rest. With 29 goals, they have scored the least among the top five teams while they have conceded the third least among the top eight teams – 21 goals.
The Premier League visitors just about deserved the win over their League One hosts, but needed a 34-year-old substitute to get them the breakthrough. Zabaleta, on in place of the injured Ryan Fredericks, was left in acres of space on the edge of the box and sent his low shot pinballing-in off the onrushing Gillingham defender and goalkeeper to secure his side the win.
I believe that we will see surely at least four goals in this match from Belorusian Reserve league and that is pretty clear and very real to expect, but we will see what will happen. Slutsk was just brilliant in last period with goals and this team is in last four matches in a row, played every time duels with even four or more goals. In that period, it was 4-2, 3-3, 4-0 and 5-1. Rival is playing on same level, so over is very real option in this duel. Of course, I will try that and I will bet on goals.
He will become the 20th Brazilian player to represent Lyon, following in the footsteps of Giovane Elber, Juninho and Fred among others.

My plea is that fans don't resort to allowing our club be used to justify or defend what goes on in Saudi Arabia, but accept and acknowledge that there are issues and encourage debate. NUST board member Greg Tomlinson added: "It's not impossible to be excited about Mike Ashley's departure and still feel concerned about the [human rights] issues. Those feelings are not mutually exclusive. Cengiz's statement said fans should "stand together and block" the takeover because the PIF was chaired by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who she said was responsible for her fiancee's murder in October 2018.
It was suggested that it was the players who got him sacked. In fact, Messi and goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen - another key player - actually backed Valverde, even though everybody realised that at some point a change was necessary because the dynamic was not positive and the club was looking for a replacement. Messi responded very quickly to Abidal's interview because he felt the finger of blame was being pointed at him.

City played as if they had a point to prove at Burnley on Tuesday night, and the way they celebrated afterwards showed how much it meant to them. Why was that win so significant? Well, everyone is talking about Liverpool and Leicester in the title race. Pep Guardiola's side had almost been discounted as contenders and were sitting 11 points off the top. They had not played well in the previous couple of weeks, and I thought they would have a tough time of it at Turf Moor.
All I had apart from playing experience were certain ideas as to what a manager should do and faith in those ideas and faith in the future of the club. First trophy at United: United win the FA cup for the first time in 39 years, beating Blackpool 4-2. Busby takes charge of the Great Britain team at the Olympic games, reaching the semi-finals to be beaten by Yugoslavia. Manchester United win the first division for the first time since 1911.
Fernandes' second goal - his side's third - was a throwback to United teams of old, smashing in to complete a devastating counter-attack courtesy of Greenwood's chip to the back post. And he could have had a hat-trick, but struck the foot of the post. Alongside Fernandes, France World Cup winner Paul Pogba eased back into action following a long injury lay-off and caressed the ball around the pitch, while Serbian Nemanja Matic expertly patrolled the centre of the park.

Golf. Madrid’ flag fiasco going down badly with Madrid chiefs. The club and fans still see the Welshman in their plans for the season and claim that situation around their player is media nonsense. According to Marca, Bale and Zidane’s relationship is closer than ever before as both the club and the manager regard him as an important player.
Inside 11 minutes, he had given Celtic the lead from the edge of the box with a sublime strike. I knew he was right footed and he whips one in with his left foot and you thought 'This guy is a player!'," said Burchill, who was watching from the bench. Moravcik's second was a stunning header from a Tom Boyd cross. It was an example of perfect technique. His celebration - like for his first goal - was nonchalant and low key.
John Egan also had a rather uncertain return to the game after the lockdown. He was sent off against Newcastle United, where he looked off the pace, but was then impressive against Spurs and looked back to his best away at Burnley. As for his goal, well, you won't see a better-struck half-volley this season. Considering it was only his second goal for the club it was some finish. Did you know? Egan's equaliser for Sheffield United was his first goal since August 2018, and also means he has now scored in League Two (one), League One (10), the Championship (seven) and the Premier League.
In an era where social media detractors love to throw out terms like “statpadder” or “goes missing in big games” to try and win their petty squabbles, Vardy’s mentality when it matters is absolutely astonishing. Just as astonishing is the fact that for some reason this has become the accepted status quo, it’s just how it’s supposed to be, that Vardy scores goals.
The EFL said it was "aware" of the video, adding that Parry was "unaware he was being filmed".

Reiten continued the rout with a glancing header in the second half, before Ann Katrin-Berger spilt Mead's header over the line to finally allow the reigning champions to get on the scoresheet.

However, some club doctors have raised concerns about restarting the season in June.

Posted at 55' Attempt missed. Jay Rodriguez (Burnley) header from the centre of the box misses to the left. Assisted by Charlie Taylor with a cross. Championship promotion hopefuls Millwall came from a goal down at half-time to batter hapless Luton Town in the second half at The Den.

There was informal contact to gauge the extent of sacked ex-Arsenal boss Unai Emery's interest, while Bournemouth's Eddie Howe is another manager with admirers in the Everton boardroom. Howe, however, insists he is committed to the Cherries and is unlikely to leave mid-season - while Spaniard Marcelino is another out-of-work coach looking for a route back into football after he was sacked by Valencia earlier this season.
