There will also be clubs asking for advice on players that he doesn't represent due to his connections in Africa.

United hit back through Bruno Fernandes just before the break before Ronaldo's landmark goal turned the game on its head seven minutes into the second half. These games will always matter more to supporters than other games do but it is amazing how much the occasion affects players too, and how quickly you get sucked into the rivalry even if you haven't grown up with it. You feel the same way the fans do, said host Lineker. What happened this summer was very not good, not good, for the people that worked with him, and the people that know him. I was scared in that moment. They're quality all over the pitch, they're a different animal to us and everything they do is with a purpose. We're a hard working team and no matter how hard the players tried, they still couldn't get close to them. I must also pay my respects to Rangers, who were very professional in the deals as well. Very crazy. Very quick. It's a great compliment to City as tonight they showed to be the best team in the world for their organisation and the players they have.

They have five games each left to play, with Liverpool facing what looks like the trickier run-in on paper, but Carragher believes both sides will slip up between now and the end of the campaign. It's not for me to sit here and say everyone has to get vaccinated, it is personal choice... obviously I want everyone to be safe, so I'd probably advise them to get it. I think what it shows is how global the Premier League is now. Footballers have travelled all over the world to play in different leagues for years and years, but we are very lucky in this country to have had so much variety and quality. It proved to be Toney's only touch in the Everton box all afternoon, but it was enough to put the game beyond a toothless opposition. You can say a point, but for me, it was 11mm, said the Liverpool boss when asked last December what had decided that season's Premier League. Liverpool’s resources were certainly stretched at Chelsea, with three teenagers and two goalkeepers named among their substitutes. Tottenham +2 (5/6 with Sky Bet), 0-0 at half-time (5/2) and Heung-Min Son - who has scored seven goals in all competitions against Pep Guardiola's City - to score first (9/1). U22 Việt Nam - U22 Philippines: Thử thách từ ẩn số tại bán Vào 15h30 ngày 15/12 (giờ Việt Nam), U22 Việt Nam sẽ đối đầu U22 Philippines trong trận bán kết SEA Games 33 tại Sân vận động Rajamangala, Thái The three teams at the top of the Premier League alongside Bayern Munich are the four best teams in Europe. The hosts' defeat, coupled with second-placed Austria's 8-0 win over Latvia, means they can no longer qualify for the finals owing to their inferior head-to-head record. Manchester City beat Real’s city rivals Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals and are aiming to win the Champions League for the first time. But we are trying. And when things are going against us and people want to be unfair with us, we will not accept it. Mead has registered three goals and three assists already, scoring twice in a 3-2 win over defending champions Chelsea in the opening game of the season, followed by another in the 4-0 victory away at Reading. Or if there's a real big feeling that people want to go to the Principality Stadium. From 2000 to 2009, the then-named Millennium Stadium was the almost-permanent home of Welsh football. U23s coach Paul Heckingbottom, who was under serious consideration before Jokanovic's appointment, stepped in after Wilder's departure but has now surprisingly signed a deal until 2026. It would have left them with one win in nine, potentially four points above the bottom three and with Manchester United, Manchester City and Aston Villa to come in their next five games. The 29-year-old was told by former United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer that he would feature regularly for the side this season, but he started just once under the Norwegian before he was sacked in November. He put his hand up with a big five and whenever we won a trophy, he would say 'OK, there's four to go, there's three to go'. The clubs that Calik represented have also posted messages of condolence on social media, with Konyaspor saying: “We are deeply saddened by the loss of our football player Ahmet Calik, who has won the love of our fans and our city since the first day he came to our Konyaspor. Potter said the link is just speculation and he is very happy at Brighton. But Potter is the first to admit the achievement is not his alone.

Signing players from City will not be easy, even if the financials can be addressed, given the club rarely sell players unless it absolutely suits them to do so. This is the rub. Yes, United are, to put it in sophisticated terms, rubbish. The players know that, Rangnick will have become aware after a week or two, and the fans have had it proven to them for the best part of a decade. But if players want to have excuses, then they can't be kept any longer. The best athletes are those who do not consider themselves as beaten even when they are 5-0 down. They are less concerned by the problems in their way than the methods they will devise to get over or around them. 7. Magnanimous Third-placed Bayer Leverkusen can at least still boast the best Twitter account in the Bundesliga. Jensen's corner from the left was turned home by Zanka's glancing header. What the managers said... France were enjoying over 70% possession but failed to truly test O'Sullivan, though Aissatou Tounkara should have done better with a free header from a corner on 41 minutes. Could do nothing for the second goal, which arrived nine minutes after the first or, later, Foden's header. It is always good to score as a striker but ultimately we need points to get out of relegation battle and to build next season.

If West Ham can beat Sevilla, who are second in Spain, it means the level of this league is very, very high. I think that's very dangerous because the people we're putting in charge to teach our kids don't feel confident enough within their role to talk about subjects that are happening in the world.
