The former Spain playmaker looked up, saw what Rashford saw, and played a pass that rendered everyone in the ground - including the entire Norwich defence - as spectators. Manchester United are simply not good enough to keep a player of Mata's quality on the bench these days. When is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer going to realise that?Did you know? Mata provided two assists in a Premier League game for the first time since October 2012, also in a match against Norwich.
'Correct Score' players can try a 1-1 draw. The hosts have scored an average of one goal at home, while they've conceded exactly once in three out of four on their own patch this term. The exact same can be said for the visitors on the road, while the fact that each of the last four renewals of this fixture have ended all-square bodes well too.
At this point, Manchester United’s interest in an expensive player is less news, more punctuation. A transfer story isn’t really complete until it’s been rounded off with the promise of Ed Woodward grinning vacantly and holding a massive cheque. But even if United could persuade him to consider spending some time with Phil Jones, you’d expect Sancho to have more and better options than United.
The quality they have is exceptional," added the German. Klopp will need to draw on his strength in depth given that midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain suffered an ankle injury in the extra-time win over Flamengo in the Club World Cup final in Qatar. With Dejan Lovren, Joel Matip and Brazilian Fabinho all sidelined, Joe Gomez is likely to partner Virgil van Dijk in the center of defence.

Deciding it competitively would be best, obviously if we can play in our own stadiums that would be preferable for everybody, but for the moment that situation is with government and the authorities and not with us," he said. The police have made it clear that they don’t think they can police every ground. I have enormous sympathy with [Watford chief executive ] Scott Duxbury’s position.

Toffees fail to impress as season fizzles outIt was hard to read too much into this performance from an Everton side that were largely going through the motions. Their season had effectively ended some weeks ago and they could not finish higher than 11th, even if they had managed to beat Bournemouth. But the Toffees' display will still have been disappointing to Everton fans, who were perhaps hoping they would show signs that they could develop into a team that could fight for a top-six finish next season.
But Lallana says the team are not looking too far ahead and are fully focused on Thursday's league match against Sheffield United and Sunday's FA Cup tie against Everton.

Liverpool had almost all the possession but Arsenal's much-criticised rearguard remained organised and put their bodies on the line in desperation to preserve the lead given to them by the generosity of the champions.

He has been a real revelation since stepping in for the injured Bernd Leno and was excellent again here, dominating his area and also producing a fine save from Mohamed Salah in the second half.

A win would be a big boost for both of them but I think they will share the points here.
