However, defensive errors gifted goals to Mo Salah and Sadio Mane and ensured Jurgen Klopp’s sided headed into half-time ahead in a strangely subdued Anfield. First, substitute centre-half Jack Simpson lost the ball to Mane 30 yards from goal and though the Senegal striker's square ball was poor, Salah recovered it to steer an effort inside the near post.
Real Madrid forward Eden Hazard has undergone successful surgery on his broken foot. The former Chelsea player came off during the Spanish side's defeat to Levante on 23 February. That was only Hazard's second start following almost three months out with a fracture on the same foot. Hazard will now remain under observation until he gets the all clear to begin his rehabilitation process," Real said in a statement.
This project only started seven months ago and we are trying to do our best in terms of squad, but cannot compare to a side that dominated Italian football for eight years," he said. We must build the project, brick-by-brick, year-by-year, to reach the level of experience, quality and character that Juventus have.
That's what we tried to do. I think overall we played well. The second half they tried to put a bit more pressure on us and we made one mistake and they scored from it. City, who succumbed to United's counter-attacking might in a 2-1 Premier League loss at the Etihad Stadium in December, host their neighbours in the second leg of the semi-final on Jan.
Rangers head into the match as the clear form favourites, unbeaten in their last nine matches and winning their last six in all competitions, but Feyenoord’s form has improved of late and the hosts haven’t lost any of their last four games which include two wins and two draws. Rangers are yet to secure three points on the road in Group G, drawing 1-1 at Porto and losing 2-1 in Switzerland against Young Boys, while Feyenoord have picked up a 1-1 draw at home to Young Boys and beat Porto 2-0 in their other home game.
It was 10 minutes from the end of extra time when Materazzi and Zidane exchanged words before the latter turned and headbutted the Italian in the chest. Most of us inside the stadium were following the ball and only saw the full extent of Zidane's attack on replay - the assistant referee informing Argentine referee Horacio Elizondo, who produced the red card. Various versions of events were told about what was the catalyst, with Materazzi claiming he made remarks about Zidane's sister, while Zidane himself said it was an insult aimed at his mother, who was ill in hospital at the time.
They have been able to find the net but their main issues have been at the other end of the pitch with 11 goals conceded in just five games, the 5-1 defeat last weekend against Sydney FC compounded their defensive frailties. Robbie Fowler will have his work cut out to rediscover the early season form that saw them concede just two goals in their opening three games.
The players have been given individual training programmes as well as exercise videos, and all have GPS apps to track their fitness. We have sent some of the girls equipment to help support them through the programmes," added Jepson. The physical performance coach has been doing a lot of body weight circuits on video. We have sent all the girls resistance bands and they have skipping ropes in the post on their way to them.
Tatung is the reigning Champion of the league, but they have lost in the first game to the main rival Taipower. Therefore, Taitung should push to follow the leader now, not allowing some weaker performances recently.
Why is Gareth Bale behaving like he is at Real Madrid?Bale has made headlines in recent weeks for his actions while sitting alongside fellow substitutes during matches, and he appeared to be on the fringes as Zidane's team celebrated the title. The forward, who turned 31 on the day his side won the league, was pictured standing at a distance with arms folded as Zidane was thrown in the air by some of the Real players.
Almamy Keita was killed outside the city of Mamou around 250 km from the Guinean capital Conakry as the team travelled to play their first game of the season. A further 19 people have been reported as injured with 17 of them believed to be in a serious condition. The 25-year-old Liverpool star wrote on Instagram: "I am shocked, sad and heartbroken at this terrible news.
When Johan Cruyff phoned Ally Dick in 1986 to gauge his interest in joining Ajax, the great man was probably expecting a more enthusiastic reaction than "Eff off, ya dumpling. The young Scot was not intentionally disrespecting one of football's great icons; he just assumed one of his pals was on the wind-up. Thankfully, the penny soon dropped. It was, genuinely, Ajax coach Cruyff on the line. And within a couple of days, Dick was in the Netherlands playing three post-season friendlies against amateur teams.

Most did not need a second invitation. We went mad, to be honest'In the 14 years that have passed, an omerta has settled over the squad about some of the details of what happened next, not least the rumour that one player ended up in police custody after dancing on the bonnet of a taxi and was only released after money changed hands. Some concede that it happened - they think - but none will name names.
He emerged after half-time heavily strapped and unable to take goal kicks. Jones would take advantage almost immediately after the injury by giving Leeds the lead, but Bonetti would have the last laugh, living up to his reputation as 'The Cat' by launching off one good leg to make a string of important saves. Fittingly, Bonetti - the foundation on which Chelsea’s first Cup final triumph was built and a revered figure in their history - collected the base of the trophy at its presentation.

It is understood the 38-year-old is open to a move back to the Premier League after he impressed during his two-season stint at Manchester United. Ancelotti says he has not spoken to the Sweden star, having previously worked with him at PSG. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a good friend of mine but I don't know what his idea is," said Ancelotti. I have to call him. I don't know if some players want to come here because I am here.
MELBOURNE, Dec 4 (Reuters) - Australia are not just going to next year's Copa America to make up the numbers and will be looking to "shock the world" by beating co-hosts Argentina on the way to reaching the quarter-finals, coach Graham Arnold said on Wednesday.

However, the club successfully argued that New Balance could not match Nike's offer with respect to marketing and distribution, with the judge ruling New Balance's offer "less favourable to Liverpool" compared to Nike's offer. We welcome Nike into the LFC family as our new official kit supplier and expect them to be an incredible partner for the club, both at home and globally as we continue to expand our fanbase," the club's managing director and chief commercial officer Billy Hogan said in a statement.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the nine-team professional league said on Friday. The U. S. April 5 and no date had been set for the beginning of the season. We are considering all possible implication for the pre-season and regular season schedules while prioritizing the health and safety of our players," the league said in a statement.
Some don't even have hot water. It's very windy, there might be 500 watching, it's really hard to get up for. But it's the real world and I wouldn't have it any other way. Obviously I do look back and think 'what if I had played more games at Arsenal?' but you've got to be positive. I've got six or seven assists this season and I couldn't be happier. Changing lives for the betterMaidstone - nicknamed the Stones - finished bottom of the National League last season but their summer signings reflect a club determined to make a quick return to non-league's top flight.

Smorgon is a surprise package in this start of the season and it has to do with the fact that they have so far the best defense in the league with 5 clean sheets in a row they only conceded in the first round while away from home at tough Sputnik side where they also had the lead for most of the game but conceded in the 89 minute to only draw 1-1 in the end. While the only other draw came for them away from home at Orsha which is 3-1-0 at home this season as it was a 0-0 draw.
It was fascinating to watch his plan play out. In the first few minutes it was Bernardo Silva who was on the left and Jesus in the middle, but then suddenly Jesus pulled over to that side. Riyad Mahrez went very high on the right and Bernardo occupied a more central role with De Bruyne, leaving Rodri and Ilkay Gundogan deeper behind them. It was the same strikerless formation that City had used when they went to Old Trafford and won in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final in January.
No Cantona? Rooney edges him out Here is the team you selected from Man Utd's Premier League winnersHow does a Man Utd team of Premier League winners not include Eric Cantona I hear you say. Well, according to your selections, which strongly went for a 4-3-3 formation, he just misses out. Cantona was named in 58% of teams but was just pipped as the third forward by Wayne Rooney (60%). The selections elsewhere were far more clear cut, with Ryan Giggs getting picked more than any other United player, being named in 90% of teams.
Cantwell's seventh goal of the season ended United's run of 448 minutes without conceding in the FA Cup, last conceding in last season's quarter-final against Wolves. United striker Ighalo has scored in each of his last three appearances against Norwich City in all competitions, netting home and away for Watford in the 2015-16 Premier League season. Ighalo has scored in all four of his starts for Man Utd (5 goals), scoring with his first shot in this match, with what was the game's first shot on target.
It was brilliant, a massive result for the lads. We needed a top performance tonight at home after two disappointing results. Scoring against Liverpool is massive for me. As an Everton fan, it's always a dream to score against them. One notable selection change from Lampard came in goal with under-fire Kepa Arrizabalaga starting inbetween the sticks and putting in an excellent performance.
But a player with his potential has to give us more than he is giving us, especially when you see how Lucas, Lo Celso and those players are playing. I was expecting more in the first half from him. The double change worked for Tottenham as they put in a much-improved second-half display and Dele Alli's penalty earned the visitors a point. Mourinho suggested Ndombele - who joined Spurs from Lyon last summer and has made 24 appearances this season - may find it difficult to get back into the side.
They've had a lot of time without winning so we have to be passionate with a clear focus. It'll not be overnight but we have to be patient. I'm sure we're going to improve quickly. Ancelotti confirmed Ferguson would stay on in his coaching staff because he was familiar with the players, saying he had done the same at Paris St Germain with Claude Makelele and Real Madrid with Zinedine Zidane.
The decision was to be ratified by a full meeting of the league’s 24 member clubs on April 15, expected to be a formality after 17 of them had previously signed a letter calling for the rest of the season to be cancelled. But on Thursday that meeting was moved back without any explanation to April 24, prompting speculation about possible moves to overturn the decision.
I think it is time that home team is began to play better than it was the case so far in league. So, Shakhtar Soligorsk is have excellent team, but they are not started too good this season, even their ambitions are pretty big again. Last season, this team is won second place and this time, they are want title in league. Slutsk is playing excellent and in last away match, they are won in one fantastic duel, 3-2. I believe that we will see goals on both sides in this match, so I will try that. Over 2,25 is ok.

Fk Ruh Brest Reserves is going to face Gorodeya reserves. The hosts of this clash won four of six matches in this season and they scored 14 goals while conceded seven. At home Brest played twice and won both matches. 6 goals scored to only 1 conceded looks great before this match. Gorodeya is the worst team in this league and I don't think that they will avoid defeat. They conceded 11 goals in only three matches on away and in the last five games overall they conceded 15 goals while scored only 1. I think that Ruh Brest will win this match and cover this handicap
Scottish clubs face "dire financial consequences" if coronavirus forces matches to be postponed, Scottish Professional Football League chief executive Neil Doncaster has warned. Doncaster added it could make finishing the season "very difficult" even if it hits "the first team of one club". Three new cases of the virus in Scotland have brought the total number of positive tests in the UK to 90. But the SPFL says "there is presently no rationale" for postponements.
Riot police came onto the field and led the fan away along with several others who had managed to get past the perspex barriers surrounding the pitch. Pictures showed other Figueirense fans fighting among themselves on the terraces while several barriers were smashed. Brazilian media said that the trouble started when Bruno Silva was substituted, insulted by Figueirense fans and responded with a gestures as he left the pitch.
Newcastle United fans say they will raise issues about Saudi Arabia's human rights record even if they support the prospective takeover of the club. The country's Public Investment Fund is expected to finance 80% of the £300m takeover, which is understood to be close to completion. But in an online forum, which involved over 2,000 fans, Newcastle United Supporters Trust (NUST) chair Alex Hurst said: "We exist to be a critical friend of the club, and hold them to account.

Drinkwater, who has only played three games in 17 months, was at fault for City's first two goals and looked off the pace as Villa struggled. Danny will make us a better team," said Smith. He has looked good in training and he got 75 minutes today, which he needed. He was not the reason we lost 6-1. Smith said if Villa fail in their striker search "we will cope". However, they have scored more than once only three times in 13 Premier League games and conceded 23 in their last nine, which has included a single clean sheet, so there are clear issues to address at both ends of the pitch.
LIVE Coronavirus in sport: Wimbledon cancelled, UEFA postpone June games According to Julian Knight MP, the Premier League is living in a “moral vacuum”. This follows the decision of a number of clubs, most notably Tottenham, to avail themselves of governmental relief money by furloughing non-playing staff while the players, some of whom earn more than seems sensible, proceed apparently untroubled.
Fuenlabrada's Marquez was initially shown a straight red card for a tackle on Girona's Alex Granell and trudged off down the tunnel. He was given a reprieve, however, as a VAR check deemed his challenge worthy of only a yellow card, shown to him as he walked back out to continue playing. Then matters descended into farce.
The last 5 matches SK Lisen did not win also explained this, and when the motivation is no longer, the possibility of them losing another match is not surprising. Homecoming here also does not bring too much confidence for the team because the performance has fallen too much, and this week's challenge of SK Lisen is also too difficult so NHM does not put much expectation in the club. Upcoming round. On the opposite side, FC Zbrojovka Brno is present in 2nd place in the rankings with an extremely impressive performance. Running to an opponent's ground without much motivation is a good opportunity for them to shorten the gap with the top team to compete for the direct promotion ticket. The level between the two sides is too different and 2 times to meet SK Lisen before the team can win easily. Therefore, 3 points will probably only be a matter of time with FC Zbrojovka Brno this week only.
However, the key for them is to start producing results at home. They’ve won twice at the bet365 this season, both of which have come in their last four games here. They should be looking to add to that on Tuesday, as they take on a Luton side who have really struggled on their travels this season.
