Ogkmpoe would make them pay again when he picked himself up from being felled unceremoniously in the box by Sean Clare and stroked home the penalty as the Hearts fans watched on in horror. Hamilton - Jamie Hamilton - threw the home side a lifeline when the young defender was the last man and handled the ball, with Hearts striker Liam Boyce breathing down his neck. Referee Kevin Clancy showed him the red card.
It is the restart of the Swiss Challenge League and the 9th Schaffhausen welcomes the leaders Lausanne. The difference is 23 points but it shouldn't be that big. Schaffhausen has the 4th best market value in the league but they underperformed. They brought 5 new players in the winter period and the friendlies have been excellent as they haven`t lost in 4. They beat Zurich and played a draw with Young boys so they must be confident. Lausanne has 6 points more than the second placed team and they have good chances to promote. They just need to hold the difference which is often hard to do while ahead.

There’s certainly a gulf in terms of resources between these two sides, but there’s more of an even feeling to their showdown on Sunday night. That’s bound to be a worry for the visitors, who continue to have problems this season.
She takes on unseeded Svetlana Kuznetsova as Sabalenka bids to reach her third WTA final. This week has seen her have some tough matches on the way to this semi-final. After receiving a bye in the first round, the Belarus player had to go to three sets to defeat Anna Kontaveit. It was much easier in the third round as she lost only three games to 15th seeded Maria Sakkari.
Chelsea are going well and picked up another three points against Aston Villa but, now they have made the change, I just fancy Everton to get something from this one. Lawro's prediction: 1-1Andy's prediction: 1-2 Bournemouth v LiverpoolIn contrast to Everton, whatever Liverpool do at the moment just keeps on working out for them. I was at Anfield for the Merseyside derby and my thoughts when I saw Jurgen Klopp's much-changed side to face Everton can be summed up in one word - 'gamble'.
Click here to read Tuesday's Paper Round 09:50 - Van Basten suspended by Fox Sports Former Netherlands forward Marco van Basten has been suspended from his role as a television analyst for one week after using a term associated with Nazi rallies. The 55-year-old said "Sieg Heil", which in German means "hail victory", on the Dutch edition of Fox Sports after a German coach was interviewed by one of the channel's reporters for the De Eretribune show on Sunday.
France’s players union (UNFP) had earlier called for the league games to be postponed while the French Football Federation on Thursday called off planned internationals for all France’s representative teams. France joined Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain in deciding over the last two days to suspend league football.
At 1-0 you're always in the game. It certainly wasn't a corner but we've got to defend it better. It's a mountain to climb from there, but they certainly started climing the mountain and we got a great goal. I'm very proud of them, but that's the sort of performance we need to put in week in, week out.
The actual play itself was no different to normal with tackles flying in and plenty of goals - 16 - across Saturday's six games. But there was some social distancing on show for goals as many strikes were celebrated without the usual embraces, think elbow bumps instead of hugs. However, some goals - notably those by Hertha Berlin players in their 3-0 win at Hoffenheim - were just celebrated as normal.
Qatar Super league. Team Al Arabi will play at home with team Al Sadd. Team Al Sadd is very famous team. They participated in the World Chamions League. Last season they were 1st in Qatar. Al Sadd is very offensive team. They did over 3.5 goals at last 3 away matches played. Matches head to head with team Al Arabi were ended 10 - 1 and 5 - 1. Al Arabi are undefeated at last 5 matches played . So , I predict guests victory here. And I am waiting 3 - 4 goals from guests. And maybe hosts will score their goal today.
There’s no way Emery is telling Luiz to step up two, three times to catch a player offside, or even some of the hideous things you see from other defenders. You see what happened with [Granit] Xhaka the other week, Emery is a man of honour and this runs far deeper than just the coach. He might be feeling quite happy to leave behind what is quite simply an average bunch of players.
Italy is the worst-hit country in Europe, with over 3,000 positive tests and 107 deaths. This week's Italian Cup semi-finals between Juventus and AC Milan and Napoli and Inter Milan had already been postponed, along with several Serie A games last weekend and the Women's Six Nations match between Italy and England.
Pogba's agent Mino Raiola has "made it clear his client wants a new challenge", which confirms to the club that their star man will leave at the end of the season. Pogba has only made six starts for United this season and is currently sidelined following surgery on an ankle injury. Paper Round's view: It wouldn't be a surprise if Pogba left Old Trafford at the end of the season.
In view of supporter sentiment regarding the scheme, it is now not our intention to make use of the current CJRS that runs until the end of May. We shall consult with stakeholders, including the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust with whom we have been in dialogue over the past week and who share our desire to protect jobs, should circumstances change going forward.
High-voltage game this challenge between rizespor and konyaspor valid for the maximum Turkish division, in fact the 2 teams find themselves fighting for salvation after a bad start to the season. The guests so far have only obtained 3 wins against 4 draws and 5 defeats while the hosts have one more point thanks to 4 wins 2 draws and 6 defeats. The challenge is made even more electric because both teams lost in the last round so I think a draw can be well accepted by everyone at least to push the relegation spectrum away.
Did you know? Van Dijk made more clearances (five) and more interceptions (three) than any Liverpool player against Sheffield United. Midfielders - Abdoulaye Doucoure (Watford), Mark Noble (West Ham), James Maddison (Leicester), Jack Grealish (Aston Villa) Abdoulaye Doucoure: He doesn't score many goals but when he does they don't come much bigger than against Wolverhampton Wanderers when you're in the midst of a relegation battle.
The visitors had already had a goal ruled out by the video assistant referee (VAR) when McBurnie exploited indecision in the Brighton defence to take control of a long ball and lash home the winner midway through the first half. After a toothless first-half performance, Brighton boss Graham Potter made a double substitution at halftime, introducing Aaron Connolly for Leandro Trossard and Glenn Murray for Pascal Gross.
Aris is certainly the best team in Europe and maybe in the world if you only watch home games in the last year. During that period, they won all their matches except against today's rival. That is certainly a good motive for them today. Aris will probably return to the first division if they win today so this is a very important match for them. Ayia Napa does not have a single win on this pitch. They have played 4 times in this field and only once went undefeated.
Crystal Palace have three straight losses at home. Crystal Palace have scored in three of their last five home matches. Bournemouth have one win in the last nine matches. Five of the last nine meetings between the two have ended in draws. Bournemouth have three straight losses going to this game. Crystal Palace will host AFC Bournemouth in the 15th round of matches, looking to make it two wins in a row.
This fixture features No. 6 vs No. 5 in the league, Galatasaray vs Istanbul Basaksehir. The hosts coming from a 0 - 2 away win over Gaziantep FK (no. 9 in the league) and their last home game a 2 - 0 win over Rizespor. The visitors coming from a 2 - 1 home win over Ankaragucu (No. 17 in the league) and their last away game a 0 - 0 draw with Juventud de las Piedras. The hosts should win this one but they played a lower table team than the visitors scoring multiple goals and not conceding one goal to win the match then won their last home game to a team below the visitors scoring multiple goals facing a team coming from playing a team below themselves and scoring multiple goals and conceding one goal to win the match then playing a team above themselves in their last away game but drawing the match so an over 2.5 is best to tip here.
Advantage Baggies. Callum Robinson scored to put Slaven Bilic's Albion ahead after half-time, but Eberechi Eze's spectacular strike levelled for Rangers. At Wigan, Neeskens Kebano was levelling things up for Fulham. Thomas Frank's Brentford were the form team in recent weeks, winning eight games to propel themselves into the automatic mix before losing to Stoke on Saturday, and Josh Dasilva's equaliser again handed them the initiative with 17 minutes to go.
Not really much separating these two sides at this moment and last season they met twice here and both games one in the league and one in the cup ended in 1-1 draws in the end so just draws while both teams are without a win in the league after 5 games played and are dancing with relegation at this moment I have to say I do not see a clear winner in this one and will take the handicap offered on the guests not to lose this game although there is every chance it should end up in a draw.

The coach's position has long been fragile, however, due to presiding over shock Champions League exits to AS Roma in 2018 and Liverpool in 2019 after taking a three-goal lead in each tie. Xavi, who had a glittering 17-year career with Barca and is their leading appearance maker, has only been in management since July when he took over Al Sadd, who he joined as a player in 2015 after leaving the Catalans.
Last time out, Wycombe struggled to contain Coventry, which was uncharacteristic. That said, the result flattered the visitors somewhat. Therefore, the league leaders probably won't be feeling too downbeat. Overall, Wycombe have been very, very good at home this season, so they ought to fancy themselves to do well on New Year's Day, especially since their opponents are badly out of form.
He is coming to the end of his fourth season at City which already led to speculation he could be on his way in the summer. Now, with two record-breaking title wins behind him but no Champions League, yet, will he be tempted by the lure of the Juventus job? Only this week, the Old Lady of Italian football was said to be lining up the superstar coach, as they face the genuine chance of not winning the Scudetto for the first time in nine years.
Indeed, he was one minute and a scrappy Wolfgang Weber equaliser from living the rest of his life as the match winner after putting England 2-1 in front against West Germany, when typically in the right place at the right time to drive home 12 minutes from time. A complete footballer who could have played in any outfield position, Peters was identified by Sir Alf Ramsey as a must for his World Cup campaign despite only being an unquestioned regular at West Ham for two years and making his international debut earlier in the calendar year.
Jose coming back is going to be a spectacle," said Solskjaer. The Norwegian had a glimpse of what was coming when he saw a television broadcast before Friday's news conference to preview Sunday's trip to Sheffield United, where it was made clear journalists would be asking about Mourinho, and the availability of the man he replaced at Spurs, Mauricio Pochettino, who has long-been viewed as a potential United boss.
Sarr, who was handed his third Premier League start of the season in place of Andre Gray, was a constant threat to the home defence, easily shrugging off Stephens before lifting the ball confidently over McCarthy for the opener. The summer signing went close to doubling his tally either side of half-time, volleying straight at McCarthy from close range in the first half before sending a curling effort over the crossbar in the second.
It just doesn't get any worse than that. Such extraordinary indifference by those who own the club to what is clearly a crisis as far as United fans are concerned is starting to grate. This perceived contempt by the owners to the concerns of fans has erupted into threatening behaviour towards executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, when in fact the Glazer family are to blame - and guess what? Solskjaer and Woodward have been left holding the baby.
The penalty was Rooney's 211th in English football, 208 of which came in the Premier League, 183 for Manchester United and 25 for Everton. England's record goalscorer joins fellow legendary forwards Kevin Keegan and Francis Lee in having played 500 games. This type of penalty is named after Antonin Panenka who scored in this manner to win the 1976 European Championships for Czechoslovakia, beating West Germany in a shoot-out.
Dec 8 (Reuters) - Greater Manchester Police have arrested a man in connection with alleged racial gestures and chants in Saturday's Premier League match between Manchester City and Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium, British media reported on Sunday. Television images circulating on social media showed a City fan making a gesture in front of United's Brazilian midfielder Fred during the game, which the visitors won 2-1.
They remain in fourth place but have only won one of their last six league games with three of the last five ending in draws. They have only kept one clean sheet in their last nine league games with both teams scoring in four of the last five. Home form is inconsistent with two of their last six home league games being won.
These are the realities – and seriousness - of the situation. Yet, the footballing authorities have many more decisions to make. It appears, at the time of writing, that the two-week postponement represents the tip of the iceberg. The Guardian, amongst others, reported late on Sunday that the coronavirus epidemic could last until the Spring of 2021.
Math is simple as both teams have 10 points and are for sure going to end on the top 2 places just that 1st place would mean the team which finishes top does not play in the next round, and Salzburg needs the win as they lost 4-2 at Liverpool U19 and H2H matters even though Salzburg has a better goal difference winning 5-1 at Napoli U19 and 7-2 at home with same opponent.
But people were becoming more affluent and could do other things with their time; more sport was on television; working weeks were changing; then there was Celtic's dominance; hooliganism; the three-day week; a recession. All these things played a part and it was a situation beyond football's control, in the most part. Reconstruction was first mooted in the mid-60s after it emerged crowds had dipped by about half a million.
Wellington Phoenix v Western Sydney Wanderers predictions for Saturday’s match in the A-League. Wellington Phoenix have found some form in recent weeks, winning their last two games whilst Western Sydney Wanderers have lost their last three games in a row as they struggle to continue their early season form. Who comes out on top? Read on for all our free A-League predictions and betting tips
Lyon have fared a little better, losing just once in four games and being a win away from securing their place in the round of 16. Lyon have scored the most goals and conceded the least but a disappointing 2-1 loss to Benfica in matchweek 3 means they are going to struggle to finish top of the group, ahead of Red Bull Leipzig.
The 37-year-old is also yet to manage a club himself. In this instance, he alone would be the main man responsible for turning around Arsenal’s fortunes – a tough and unenviable task given they are at their lowest ebb in decades. A more natural step for Arteta would have been to take charge of another former club, but Everton have bigger ambitions.
Former Chelsea striker Demba Ba, ex-Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel and former Manchester City full-back Gael Clichy all played in the victory. Basaksehir have been runners-up in the league on two occasions. Last season they led the way with four games remaining before faltering and coming second by two points to Galatasaray. Istanbul Basaksehir, the new football power emerging in TurkeyShould Basaksehir and Premier League side Manchester United progress from the last-16 of the Europa League, they will meet in the quarter-finals of the competition in a single-legged tie in Germany.
Barcelona had to resort to a two-day bus trip to their semi-final with Inter Milan. Even veterans of the Aberdeen-London Megabus route would struggle with the 650-mile drive across southern Europe, and most would agree it is not ideal preparation to play a game of football. Inter won their home leg 3-1, enough to see them through to the final where they beat Bayern Munich. What if Barcelona had been able to prepare for the tie normally? They had won and drawn against Inter in the group stages earlier in the competition and showed little sign of dropping their standards.
Team from the sea, is going at their second away game in the row, and they would seek another good performing and well play, like it was in the Huracan match. They have potential to get away from the lower part of the league table, and Banfield is not the opponent, that should be a big problem for them.
But County's response was one that offered hope they can dig deep and avoid being dragged into a relegation battle. Although McKay's equaliser came late and was handed to them by St Johnstone's naivety, their second-half performance merited a share of the points. County still have just one win in their last 11 in all competitions and need to get a few more on the board to widen that six-point gap with Hamilton in 11th.
Thomas Mueller stabbed in from close range on the hour for his third goal of the season, with Bayern upping the tempo after the break following a largely lacklustre first half. Robert Lewandowski, back following groin surgery in December, bagged his 20th league goal of this season when the Polish striker sent keeper Rune Jarstein the wrong way to score with a 73rd-minute penalty.
Arteta set to take the Arsenal job After their late night liaison on Sunday night, it seems that Arsenal have persuaded Mikel Arteta to leave working in the most lavishly-funded football project of all time where he is coaching some of the finest players in the world and being groomed to take over from this generation’s most influential and possibly best manager, in favour of watching at close quarters Granit Xhaka’s big diagonals sail over everyone’s head and gently into the crowd.
Lothar Matthaus (West Germany/Germany) - 11 apps, 1 goal. Tournaments played in: 1980, 1984, 1988, 2000. Best finish: Winner (1980)Had an incredible 20-year span at the Euros. Won it as a squad player in 1980, scored in the 88 semi-final as captain as West Germany missed out on home soil and then missed two competitions through injury and then insult (he fell out with coach Berti Vogts and missed the 1996 triumph).
