Jordan Henderson's clipped through ball was aimed at Mane but lacked the required accuracy, dropping on his blindside and over his shoulder, but the 27-year-old managed to read the flight of the ball, somehow take it in stride and dispatch it past Tim Krul all in one swift movement. It is not too far a stretch to say that no other player in the league would have scored that goal.
Before, I used to beat myself up," he said. Merson was capped 21 times by England between 1991 and 1998 and scored 78 goals in 327 games for Arsenal. He previously spoke about his gambling addiction in March 2019. Writing in his Daily Star column, Merson added: "When I see this weekend's FA Cup games kicking off a minute later I will remember that time when things got dark and think: 'Thank god that's not how I feel any more.
Al raed fc have 5 win and 0 losses in the last 5 matches. They have scored 12 goals and conceded 7 goals in the last 5 league matches. At home they managed to win 3 and lose 2 of their last 5 games scoring 7 goals and conceding 9 goals.
Mahrez's dribble and shot opened the scoring in the 18th minute and the Algerian struck again six minutes later. Champions City's slick football was too much for Villa who had dropped into the relegation zone before kickoff after Watford's win at Bournemouth. Aguero's fierce strike from outside the area made it 3-0 in the 28th minute before Jesus tapped in a fourth on the stroke of halftime after a stunning pass by Kevin De Bruyne.
Ian Holloway was appointed as new Grimsby Town manager this week, something of a coup for The Mariners. They then proceeded to win their first game in 12 attempts, putting themselves just a point behind their opponents this weekend with two games in hand. Whether that victory was a result of the new manager bounce that so many sides benefit from or if there is something a little more substantial for the new manager to build on remains to be seen.
Ward has also been involved in securing new contracts and signings this summer - 10 players have penned new deals and BBC Sport understands more are to be announced. All staff and players are believed to have been on last week's meeting call, which the team had hoped would provide answers on why Ward was allowed to leave. Sheffield United Women, a semi-professional team, have been competing in the second tier for two seasons; Ward was described by the club as "instrumental" in them achieving Championship status in 2018.

However, after some excellent form, the U's seem to be moving in the wrong direction at precisely the wrong time, not least because they're about to go up against one of the best teams in the country. Oxford have won none of their last three fixtures (in all competitions), two of which they've lost. If that wasn't bad enough, they're without a goal during that time too, failing to score against Exeter, Shrewsbury and MK Dons. They'll have to improve if they want to make headway against Man City, that's for sure.
Genoa, who led 2-0 at halftime, finished with nine men in the Serie A relegation battle while Lecce drew 2-2 for the third successive home game. Pandev struck in the 31st minute when Lecce goalkeeper Gabriel sent a clearance straight to him and the North Macedonian controlled the ball on his chest and immediately sent a long, looping shot into the net from around 40 metres.
Henderson backed Liverpool to respond in Monday's Merseyside derby against Everton in the Premier League and take a big step towards winning their first English league title in 30 years. Liverpool need just two more wins to seal the title. Obviously we're really disappointed. Henderson told BT Sport.
I don't want any players in January," Guardiola said. Although Fernandinho has spent all his career as a midfielder - including more than six years and 250 appearances at City - Guardiola reacted tersely when he was asked why the Brazilian was used in defence more often than Stones and Otamendi, who cost a combined £79. Asked what defensive qualities in particular Fernandinho has, Guardiola said: "Have you watched the games?"Nevertheless, as with Spain midfielder David Silva, Fernandinho's contract will expire in the summer.
Garitano will hope that his side can maintain their decent scoring record at home having netted in their last matches at Mendizorroza, a trend which should continue against a Betis defence that have conceded in all of their last six La Liga games and in five of their last six on the road.
Up first though for Valencia is a trip to Benito Villamarin this weekend – a venue at which they have tasted success in each of the last two seasons including when drubbing Betis 3-6 in a thriller two years ago.
Jones wants FC Isle of Man to contribute to the island's sporting success. The team will initially be made up of players living on the island and recruitment will officially start in the summer. By then a membership scheme aimed at raising funds for the club will have been launched. The annual £20 subscription will include the opportunity to access a live stream of all FC Isle of Man home games. Jones hopes it will appeal to people from the island who are now living around the world and those who have a "soft spot" for the Isle of Man.

He even founded a football academy and a professional club in his home town Felcsut, which have received more than $130 million in state funds and private gifts according to official filings. Peter Kreko, an analyst at the Political Capital think tank, believes it has been a mistaken approach. State money follows a logic of power, not one of efficiency and professionalism," Kreko said.
But we can go through to the quarter-finals and that is what we have to do. We have to be focused on that. City won the domestic treble last season, which also included the Premier League title, but Guardiola accepts it is no longer possible to reel in runaway league leaders Liverpool. Juergen Klopp's side have suffered only one defeat and one draw in 28 matches to build a 22-point lead over second-placed City.
Isco had given Real the lead on the hour mark following a sweeping counterattack but the 13-times European champions' night soon unravelled, culminating in Ramos being sent off for hauling down Jesus in a bid to prevent a third City goal. Ramos will be suspended for the second leg at the Etihad Stadium on March 17 while City's influential defender Aymeric Laporte was forced off injured in the first half, another setback of in a season marked by fitness troubles.
The Uruguayan’s finish for the second goal was especially eye-catching, calmly guiding a finish past ter Stegen. Barca couldn’t handle Gomez.

We need to hear urgently from the FA and from Premier League clubs what their intentions are: will women continue to pay the price for a ban 99 years ago, that still overshadows women in football today? Or is there a road to equality? Women players and supporters deserve answers. Manchester City head of women's football Gavin Makel told BBC Sport last week the decision to end the season was not "a missed opportunity".
Wolfsberger and Salzburg will face each other in the upcoming match in the Austrian Bundesliga. Wolfsberger this season have the following results: 12W, 6D and 8L.

Danny Ings capitalised on an error by Martin Kelly to earn Southampton a share of the spoils at home to Crystal Palace. Ings pounced on Kelly's misplaced backpass before slotting confidently past Vicente Guaita for his 12th league goal of the season. James Tomkins - making his 350th career appearance - had given the visitors the lead early in the second half, heading Luka Milivojevic's delivery into the net via the underside of the crossbar.
After a relatively up and down first few months of the campaign, Rotherham, much as they did when they won promotion two seasons ago, have steadied themselves to emerge as clear play-off candidates. Paul Warne, who is going for a second promotion in three seasons, has his side nicely placed in 4th position, just five points off the coveted top two. If they can improve their home form, then the Millers have got every chance of laying down a serious automatic-promotion challenge.
Blackburn Rovers U23 will host Derby County U23 for this fixture of the league. I think, the visitors have the potential to pick up the victory in this game. Derby U23 have better team than their opponent. Derby have an effective attack. Also, Derby have better results in the last mutual matches. Also, we have Blackburn Rovers U23 who's is not very good team in this campaign. Blackburn is one of the outsiders in this league. I expect, the hosts will pay attention on their defense. In any case, the hosts have a very difficult task. I think, the visitors will closer to victory.

The Frenchman scored both Arsenal goals and gave them a cutting edge in front of goal. The best you could say is that Lacazette made the most of the chances he was presented with, with Arsenal otherwise lacking in the final third.

Getty Images 64’ - GOAL! Manchester United 4-0 AZ (Greenwood) OH MY DAYS! Another lovely goal! Mata slides another good, straight pass into Mata, who moves to Greenwood. He steps into the box, the defender has no clue which way he's going because he knows both his feet are divine . That finish is pure Solskjaer, using the defender as a screen to unsight the goalie, and United now have four goals in 11 minutes! KEY STAT Mason Greenwood is the youngest player to score twice for United in a major European competition, aged 18 years and 72 days.
Melbourne Victory have yet to really get going this season, picking up just five points and sitting eighth in the league. They have picked up just one win and last weekend’s home draw with Wellington Phoenix would’ve caused some worry within the ranks as they continue to look blunt in attack. The loss of Andrew Nabbout in recent weeks won’t have helped but with so much expectation on them heading into the season, they look to be crumbling early on. There are some bright sparks for them, with Ola Toivonen being a goal away from being the second-fastest A-League player to reach 20 goals and the return of Robbie Kruse improving their creativity in the final third.
Manchester United head to this game as favorites, even though Brugge are the form team. United have led at half time in three of their last four matches and each of the last two away matches in the Europa League. They head here on a good away run in recent matches and we are backing them to win at the end. United leading at half time and full time comes with good odds and we will go for that.
All the deadline day moves: Latest confirmed transfers in Europe's biggest leagues United's striker search had led them to talks with Bournemouth over Josh King, but a disagreement about the fee made that look increasingly unlikely as the transfer window's deadline day developed.

I didn't put that type of player in there, but when Hamza came into the game [in the 69th minute], he was brilliant for us. Player Rater: Leicester v Aston VillaReaction to action from the King Power StadiumQuiz: Name all EFL Cup semi-finalists of the 2010sPhil McNulty's match reportFormer Crystal Palace striker Clinton Morrison, working as a match analyst for BBC Radio 5 Live, said Choudhury should be called up to the senior England squad.
It was the flashpoint of a largely uneventful affair which was settled by Michael Keane's own goal, the ball deflecting in off the Everton defender from Giovani lo Celso's strike. The Toffees barely threatened in a poor attacking display and substitute Anthony Gordon's long-range strike, which was straight at Lloris, their only shot of note. The win keeps alive Tottenham's hopes of playing European football next season.

The players, directors and staff have shown good leadership and responsibility by doing this voluntarily," the former Liverpool and England captain told the Rangers website. It was a no-brainer and the right thing to do. It was unanimous everyone wanted to do this. It's important in these hard times that no one suffers from any financial hardship.
But the point for Slaven Bilic's side, now unbeaten in 14 games, ensured that they would remain top of the Championship on Boxing Day, no matter how Leeds United fare in their late kick-off at home to Preston. Struggling Barnsley showed what they are capable of when they led 2-0 at the Hawthorns earlier in the season, only to be hit by two late Albion goals.
Ross County haven't been prolific winners at home and they have struggled in lots of areas, but they're not exactly up against a visiting side that has thrived on the road. Given that Hibs have won no more away games than the Staggies have home games, the home win looks slightly overpriced. Moreover, Ross County have scored slightly more goals at home than Hibernian have on the road. The hosts have also done slightly better in terms of shots against (at home compared to Hibs on the road). It's also worth noting that Hibernian's recent win away against St. Mirren was a tad fortunate, as they failed to create much, registering just three shots. When Ross County beat St. Mirren at home, they registered 14 shots.
NEC Nijmegen vs Helmond Sport, if you look at the games played by both team and if you look at their odds distribution you will notice that they have been most goals scored by each team in previous game. Games played by both team and today’s each team playing each other or NEC Nijmegen playing home or Helmond Sport playing away or Helmond Sport playing from home or a NEC Nijmegen playing from away, you will notice that there have been more than two Goals, some more than one Goals so in today's prediction we are going to be taking over 2.5 goals in this prediction because the statistic is more favorable to our side in this prediction today that is where we are now taking any team not to win the game, but rather we are going to be taking over goes in this prediction.
I believe that home team will not have too many problems in this duel from Premier league and that is pretty real to expect. So, Leicester City is interesting team who is in this moment in fantastic form. They are winning in almost all matches so far, and only, as I remember they are lost in last few weeks against Liverpool 1-2. Everton, on the other side is in problems and team is lost even against Norwich City at home 0-2. I believe that home team is in this moment much better team and they will show that here, surely.
Women are putting as much hard work in as the men do, and we are finally seeing it paying off and people appreciating it. It was mad really. For a while, all I wanted to be was a footballer but back then it was quite hard for women's football. There was still a struggle about whether it could be a career. There were quite a few players I looked up to, like Rachel Yankey - I remember meeting her at one of Arsenal's award ceremonies.
