The visitors’ pressure paid off though when a deflected Josip Ilicic shot was headed into the path of Gosens, who directed a shot home at full stretch at the back post. Alessandro Bastoni gifted Gasperini’s side the chance to grab a late win when he bundled over Malinovskyi in the area but Handanovic guessed correctly to palm away substitute Muriel’s spot kick.
Kane was 17 when he joined Orient on loan from Tottenham and scored five goals in 18 appearances for the O's, before going on to establish himself with Spurs and England.

TOKYO, Nov 23 (Reuters) - Anderson Talisca scored twice to enable Guangzhou Evergrande to open up a two-point gap at the top of the Chinese Super League as Fabio Cannavaro's side beat defending champions Shanghai SIPG 2-0 on Saturday. Evergrande moved on to 66 points and are now two points clear of Beijing Guoan with two games left while SIPG remained third a further two points adrift.
Osipovichy is going to pick Energosbyt BSATU for the first leg of the second league and they are a huge favorite here to pick a victory. Osipovichy lost against FK Smolichev in the cup game but only 0:1. Their opponent is an amateur team from Belarus and they had not played any official games. I don't think that Energosbyt is able to pick a win here. Maybe they will be able to score a goal or maybe two but Osipovichy is a stronger team. My bet for this clash is Osipovichy to pick a victory with at least two goals advantage. I think about 4:0
Now third midway through the season, and in the last 32 of the Europa League, Bordalas and Getafe continue to confound the critics. Buying my first pair of jeans was a luxury'Bordalas was born the eighth of 10 children and raised in one of those parts of Alicante not featured in the 'must-see' itineraries of the many tourists that come to the region. I never felt alone and always felt protected in a home where hard work and effort was the key.

Brendan Rodgers' side should have extended their lead after the break when Harvey Barnes was twice denied by Dean Henderson after clever through balls by Jamie Vardy. The Foxes' top scorer also hit the post, and it looked as though Sheffield United might force their way back into the match after a second-half improvementThey came closest to scoring when Jack O'Connell's shot was tipped wide by Kasper Schmeichel.
Paper Round’s view: A handful of clubs including Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have arranged their own deals with players in order to make sure staff are paid and to make sure their finances are not tipped into chaos, but unless an organised move is made across the league, other clubs could find themselves in desperate trouble and at risk of being stripped by more financially secure clubs.
They both miss it, the ball ricochets of Calvert-Lewin and then Zouma before dropping perfectly for the striker. From 12 yards out Calvert-Lewin walks onto the free chance and slots the ball under Kepa. GOAL! Everton 2 Chelsea 1 (Kovacic 52) Well, well! This is a stunner from Kovacic. A low cross into the Everton area is reached first by Digne.
This should be a very close affair as both teams look to end awful winless runs. However, with this game set to be staged in the chilly reaches of northern France as opposed to the slightly warmer stretches of the Burgundy region we're going to edge this match in favour of Amiens.
In making decisions regarding whether a fixture will proceed, the safety, welfare and comfort of our players, match officials and fans remain our ongoing focus with regard to air quality issues as a result of these bushfires. Sports organisations in Australia have kept a watchful eye on the weather conditions ever since a men's Twenty20 Big Bash cricket match in Canberra last month was called off due to poor air quality caused by smoke from the fires.

After the latest set of games, they are in ninth place and face a tough game home to West Bromwich Albion whowent top of the table after winning on Wednesday. Blackburn had a good win in midweek when getting an away win at sixth-placed Cardiff City. They trailed 1-0 and 2-1 but two second half goals clinched the three points for them.
Now down to 11th and 3 points short of the top 6, Swansea need to regain their form sharply if they want to be part of the play-off picture going into the New Year. Saturday's game against a visiting outfit that hasn't covered themselves in glory certainly represents a good chance to do exactly that but confidence can't be too high in home ranks going into, given just 1 of their last 8 outings at the Liberty Stadium have ended in victory.
Lawro's prediction: 0-2 Bournemouth v Crystal PalaceBournemouth are still in the thick of the scrap at the bottom, although I was impressed with their performance in their defeat at Anfield last time out. Three successive 1-0 wins have propelled Crystal Palace away from the relegation zone and, with 39 points, they look like they are already safe with nine games to go. Palace's situation would allow them to play with a little bit more freedom than usual, but I am not sure Roy Hodgson will let that happen.
But if you think about a lot of the clubs in the Football League and the National League, their income comes from what comes through the door. By them not playing, it affects them, it affects a lot of players, some of whom are part time. But more than anything, clubs, especially in the non-league, could die.

However, that pre-game assessment by PSG boss Thomas Tuchel was not about any of those much-hyped superstars. It was about Real striker Karim Benzema. In 2009, Cristiano Ronaldo joined Real for a then world-record £80m fee from Manchester United and Benzema was approached to replace him at Old Trafford. The France forward rejected the move and instead the two became team-mates as he too joined the Spanish giants from Lyon for £30m.
Hosts are 4th placed in the league standings at this moment with a record of 2-2-2, their two losses coming in their last two games losing first with 1-0 at home to the league leaders from Ahal and also a 1-0 loss last round away from home at Sagadam as well. At home 3 games so far just one goal scored in a 1-0 win against Nebitci which is bottom in the league at this moment, but they could not score more than one goal even against them, and a modest 0-0 draw against defensive minded Energetik as well.
They have won 10 of the 16 home matches – a big chunk of their total 19 wins in the league this season. Istanbul Basaksehir have scored in each of their 16 home matches and in 11 of them, they have scored two goals or more. However, they have kept just five clean sheets in the 16 home matches though they are the side with the best defence in the league, having conceded 31 goals.
I’m really pleased with them [the youngsters],” Arteta said afterwards. I’m enjoying working with the players. They deserve a chance. It’s always a risk but they’re worth the risk. Klopp not worried about the coronavirus (ending Liverpool’s title procession) Everyone is worried about the coronavirus, not least the producers of Corona beer who have apparently seen a stupid but depressingly predictable decline in sales due to people who can’t tell the difference between a disease and a beverage just because their names contain some of the same letters.
There were more yellow cards (7) than shots on target (5) as Burnley's visit to Newcastle ended in a goalless stalemate. The Clarets, ninth in the table, are unbeaten in their last six league games while they have secured clean sheets in four of the last five. Runaway leaders Liverpool will open up a 25-point lead at the top of the table if they win at next-to-bottom Watford in Saturday's late kick-off (17:30 GMT).
Both teams have scored in 67% of OB’s home games and in 44% of AaB’s away games this season, with the hosts have scoring 17 goals at in their own backyard and the visitors netting an impressive 15 times on the road. OB have scored in both halves of their home games 33% of the time as have AaB 33% of their away games, so there could well be goals in both halves for both teams on Monday. OB’s have lost seven times this season by a one-goal margin and considering they have lost eight times in total, the chances are any defeat for the hosts on Monday would only by via the odd goal.
Others feel 30 June would be a good time to stop given the contractual wrangles that will surface after that date. Clubs around the relegation zone think no-one should go down from a campaign that is not completed. Those with a chance of coming up from the Championship feel the concept of promotion should be maintained. In the EFL, League 1 and 2 clubs, who can see the financial impact of months with no games, or matches without fans, have discussed an early end to the season.
I believe, I’m a big believer in everybody has a chance,” he said. From the boys’ point of view, if I would be in their boots I would be excited like hell, looking forward to it like hell, run for my life, all that stuff. Just give it a proper try and we will sit and will be with them. All our thoughts are with them, the more experienced players are looking forward to it to watch the game and shout them forward from here,” he added.
The visitors are starting to show themselves on the European stage, but they’ve been among the continent’s most ambitious sides for a long time now. Atalanta have had seven players with 30+ touches in the opponent box in Serie A 2019/20: a joint-record among the current top-5 European League alongside Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain. That’s already paid off, with Atalanta scoring twice in 10 of their 13 Serie A games so far.
It’s worth reiterating that there is of course a big difference between the club not being able to find any evidence, and the accusations being untrue, or maliciously made. Perhaps there was abuse. Perhaps Rudiger misinterpreted something. But if your instant response is to demand apologies or accuse Rudiger of making things up, as some have inevitably done on various fetid corners of the internet, then you’re part of the problem.
LONDON, Jan 6 (Reuters) - Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta described playing Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds United as being like a nightmare trip to the dentist after his side battled back to win their FA Cup third round match 1-0 on Monday following a first half in which they were overrun. Leeds controlled the ball for almost two-thirds of the opening period and fired in 15 shots to Arsenal's three but failed to score as the home side's stand-in goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez -- and the crossbar -- kept the ball out.

Second placed Olympique Marseille have emerged as the realest challengers to PSG for the Ligue 1 title and when they travel to 15th placed St. Etienne they will be hoping to close in on the league leaders. St. Etienne have 28 points and Marseille 43 ahead of this match. St. Etienne have managed three wins and two losses, with just one clean sheet in the process.
But Geey says clubs could be allowed a certain amount of foreign players each. So it wouldn't matter whether a player is from Bolivia or Belgium," he said. That's one of the contentious elements that is being discussed at present. When did the deadline close?In the Premier League and English Football League, the deadline was at 23:00 GMT on Friday - although clubs were allowed to complete deals later as long as they completed a deal sheet in time - and in Scotland it was midnight.

Burnley have won only two of their 11 meetings with Spurs in the Premier League. Spurs have lost three consecutive matches in all competitions for the first time since May last year. Sunday, March 8 Chelsea v Everton (1400) *Everton are without a win in their last 24 away league games against Chelsea since a 1-0 win in Nov.
Since he left, United have made repeated mistakes. They have appointed ill-suited managers and signed ill-suited players for their ill-suited managers. However, their 2-0 win in the Manchester derby suggests that they might have stumbled across a potentially successful formula. Perhaps. And stumbled is the correct, er, noun.
Football match from the England FA Cup and we have Newcastle playing host to Oxford United met in this match I will bet on the host team to win by at least 2 goals. The team of Newcastle is in high spirits after 5 matches without a loss, although most those matches had ended in draws but I think today they will turn up to beat this league one side Oxford United. Newcastle in their last 2 home matches have scored 5 goals and conceded 1, they didn't play so well in the last round against richdale and needed another match to progress but this is different as they play at home
Last season I had the feeling they'd fight for the top four and it's happened, they're a fantastic team," the Spaniard said. They sold (Harry) Maguire, but the rest of the team is the same, a lot of quality in the middle, counter attacks, control in all departments. Manchester City's hopes of winning the league for a third season in a row are hanging by a thread with the team 14 points behind leaders Liverpool, but they are still alive in the Champions League and England's two domestic cup competitions.
You know that guy that does the transfer rumours? Yep, this is really him: RETRO CORNER Bet you’re feeling mighty cheery Newcastle fans after avoiding an upset? Bad news: on this day 38 years ago, you lost to non-league Hereford. COMING UP Tottenham 1-0 Southampton. Motherwell 1-0 Celtic. Havant & Waterlooville 5-5 Weymouth.
The Saints are at least clicking up top, with two players in rich form. Southampton's last 10 Premier League goals have been scored by either Danny Ings (6) or James Ward-Prowse (4). The latter has three in his last four appearances, thanks to strong finishing from dead balls. Given that 33% of Norwich’s away goals conceded have come from set-pieces or penalties, we think Ward Prowse is a well priced anytime goalscorer option.

The universe appears to have finally noticed that the Cherries have been surviving in the Premier League in defiance of all common sense, and is taking steps to right this situation. That win moves West Ham up to 16th and bounces Bournemouth into the relegation zone. There’s an interesting experiment going on down at the bottom: West Ham and Watford have embraced managerial change; Bournemouth and Aston Villa are, for the moment, standing by their man.
Forest are only four points behind the second automatic promotion spot but it's a tight league as usual. They are just six points clear of tenth placed Millwall and have just one win in their last four league matches. That was a 2-0 home win over second placed Leeds, so that shows how good this Forest side can be.
