The two strikers were magnificent today, the amount of work Britt [Assombalonga] and [Ashley] Fletcher put in, [Patrick] Roberts back for an hour has given us a little lift, there were a lot of plusses. It's a happy drive home. I don't plan ahead now, we've just got to try to get the best out of it we can here, it's seven difficult games and every one is a challenge. The lads have shown what they can do today and it's about standards.

Six-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi responded on Instagram, writing: "Sincerely, I don't like to do these things but I think that people have to be responsible for their jobs and own their decisions. The players [are responsible] for what happens on the pitch and we are the first to admit when we haven't been good. The heads of the sports department have to take their responsibilities too and above all own the decisions they make.
I'm completely with Jurgen when he makes these statements - it's too much. In a new document, The Vision 2020-2023: Making Football Truly Global, Fifa president Gianni Infantino said a review of the fixture list is needed. The international match calendar plays a central role in the sustainable growth of football in all regions of the world and at all levels," Fifa added. The current system should, once and for all, be discussed thoroughly with all stakeholders and reviewed according to their needs in a collective effort to guarantee a truly global approach.
Valencia had defender Gabriel sent off in injury time for clashing heads with Dusan Tadic in a very tense finale in Amsterdam. Ajax were seconds away from reaching last year's final before Lucas Moura's injury-time strike sent Tottenham to the final instead. Frenkie de Jong and Matthijs de Ligt were among the stars of that team to leave last summer and they have not been the same since. Two defeats at home - by Chelsea and Valencia - and a 4-4 draw at Stamford Bridge have ultimately cost them.
Tottenham Hotspur have no intention of letting striker Harry Kane leave the club this summer and would not sell to a domestic rival. Kane, 26, signed a six-year contract with Spurs in June 2018. Last month, he said he would not stay at the north London club "just for the sake of it", and there are reports chairman Daniel Levy would be open to selling him for about £200m. Manchester United are long-time admirers of the England captain.
But it just goes to show the character within the dressing room that we were capable of beating Besiktas and AC Milan. After Milan were vanquished in the rain, Besiktas were hammered 6-0 at Elland Road. Following up on his late winner against the Italians, Bowyer was again the standout performer, scoring the first and last goals of the rout. In the midst of the most productive season of his career, Bowyer, along with team-mate Jonathan Woodgate, was on trial after being charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent and affray following a nightclub altercation in January.
The difference was a great finish and we were not able to execute that today. Everton's Ancelotti was not suprisingly a lot more satisfied than his opposite number after the final whistle. For 60 minutes the performance was good, at the end it was normal to suffer a little bit at 1-0 up. We suffered but we were determined to have three points at the end and this is the most important thing," the 60-year-old Italian said.
Boro remain one point above the relegation zone and host Charlton next Saturday. Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa:"It is important [to be top now] but there is a long way forward. Of course, we have to give some value to the current position because in a league like this, the future is built match by match.

Despite the delay, I swear you’ll never see anything like this again! So watch it! Drink it in!” -- This scenario, arguably English football’s single standout moment of the decade, has been exaggerated for effect here, as of course Balotelli did not foul or come close to fouling Ferdinand. But it would have been checked.
Players were not allowed to shake hands or gather for a team picture. The referee and the two team captains stayed a couple of yards apart for the coin toss. However, the match looked as normal as ever, with players not hesitant to engage in physical duels or getting close to each other in the moments before a corner kick. But after a goal, the players kept distance to celebrate. As sophisticated as the Bundesliga's hygiene protocol might be, it still has its weak points because some precautions are seemingly only for show.
It begins a hectic week for the Gunners, who then travel to Standard Liege with Europa League progress still in the balance before hosting Manchester City at the weekend. Elsewhere, there is a full round of European fixtures in midweek, while there will undoubtedly be more fall-out from City's loss to Man United in the Manchester derby on Saturday, not least given the abhorrent allegations of racial abuse suffered by Fred.
New manager, same problems at Arsenal Arsenal will have to dip into the loan market if they want to make any January signings due to "stretched finances", according to the Telegraph. New manager Mikel Arteta is keen to bring in a box-to-box midfielder and a defender in the winter window following inconsistent performances from the current midfielders so far this season and a long-term injury to Calum Chambers.
You've got to look at the form of other people that are relentless right now. But we keep going and try to change the situation that we put ourselves in. There's no denying they're obviously in the driving seat. That's not handball. It's clutching at straws' Alfredo Morelos had a goal ruled out for a push on Stuart FindlayScott Arfield's spectacular goal had Rangers in front at the break, but Kilmarnock rallied in the second half and struck twice in the final 13 minutes.
None of Liverpool's midfielders hit the numbers that, say, Manchester City's Kevin de Bruyne does in terms of assists or chances created but you cannot measure Henderson's role in the same way. Football is not about individuals, it is about the collective, and Henderson is crucial to what Liverpool do. It helps he has got a manager in Klopp who loves the type of player he is, and plays a style that suits him.
The Italian government has stopped sporting activity in the northern regions of Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia-Romagna, which have been worst hit, until 8 March, unless they are held behind closed doors. It follows last weekend's disruption when four Serie A games in Milan, Bergamo, Verona and Turin were suspended and Serie B side Cremonese drove 300 miles to Ascoli, only to be sent home upon arrival.
Georgia Stanway put City back in front with a superb breakaway goal on the hour mark but again Chelsea came back as keeper Ellie Roebuck could not keep out Magdalena Eriksson's close-range header eight minutes later. Stanway then had a penalty saved before Beth England's long-distance pile-driver put Chelsea ahead for the first time.

The World Trade Organization said there had been an infringement of intellectual property rights via the illegal beoutQ service, but in an apparent response to that ruling, Saudi Arabia then barred beIN Sports from operating.

It is much more complicated than just making a decision," he said. Each country is different. In England, you have three competitions. In Spain and Italy it is two. There are 18 teams in the German league but all the others have 20. The leagues who have problems in their calendar should look for internal solutions. If that is impossible, we might need some kind of co-ordination with Uefa but at the moment, we are not considering changing formats.

Indeed, he's the sixth Spurs player to reach this milestone after Teddy Sheringham, Robbie Keane, Jermain Defoe, Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen. Toby Alderweireld became the third Tottenham Hotspur player to score for and against his own side in the same Premier League game, after Gareth Bale vs Liverpool in November 2012 and Chris Armstrong vs Arsenal in March 2000. What's next?Aston Villa travel to Southampton in their next Premier League outing on Saturday (15:00 GMT).
Leipzig have a great run at home; they have scored in each of their 13 home league matches. however, they have managed just two clean sheets in the 13 home matches. They face a Hertha Berlin side that has scored in each of their last seven away matches, which leaves us with the expectation of seeing goals on both sides here. The fact that this has also been a high scoring fixture in recent times further fuels this expectation. Leipzig have been the dominant side in this fixture, and have four straight wins ahead of the game. Leipzig have the best defensive run in the league and we are backing them for a win here. Seeing that Hertha have an impressive scoring record too, we will go for a 3-1 win for Leipzig.
For the red half of north London, it is simply a lack of talent and Lovren is not a noticeable step up on the likes of David Luiz, while Tottenham's main problem is that Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen are simply not as young as they were, and Lovren is hardly a youtful option. Read the full story UEFA demand huge compensation to postpone Euro 2020 UEFA are set to demand £275 million from clubs and leagues in order to postpone this summer's European Championship until next summer amid the coronavirus outbreak sweeping across the continent.
Atletico had to rebuild in the summer after key players Antoine Griezmann, Lucas Hernandez, Rodri, Diego Godin, Filipe Luis and Juanfran all departed. I don't think they can sack Simeone," says Laurens. He presents so much to that club. He might walk out himself if he thinks he reached the end. But this was always going to be a transitional year anyway, because so many big players left last summer.
The first sign of things to come was delivered at the 1988 European Championship when, despite losing world-class players such as Mark Lawrenson after his retirement through injury, Charlton's side beat Bobby Robson's England 1-0 in a group game. Ireland just failed to make it out of the group but Charlton master-minded a run to the quarter-finals of the Italia 90 World Cup, qualifying from a group that included England and the Netherlands, both games drawn 1-1, before a win on penalties over Romania and then a narrow 1-0 defeat against hosts Italy in the last eight.
Hi! Southampton host the Watford at own stadium. Southampton played out a 2:2 draw at Arsenal in their last Premier League fixture. What a mess, to make a tie-ending game with leading twice in this fixture. I hope - next time it will not happens. Meanwhile, Watford have failed to take the points against the Burnley, as they lost 3:0 at home. With that huge loss, they are sitting in league table bottom. Both outsiders are competing with each other for the victory, but will they need it? What manages the any-side win to them? To climb out from the relegation zone? I don't think so, and predicting on a tie match as well (their last 2 meetings have ended even on that way). Good game! :)

Two heavyweights in the form of taking each other and definitely fireworks are expected. Wolves can wear roaming gear and still close their league season high, but this is the kicker they just won't do that. That's not in their DNA. Despite the large safety pillows they made for themselves, the team won't rest until they give everything to the title race. Five of the last seven matches have more than 2.5 goals.
