Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson accused Oumar Niasse of diving to win a controversial penalty that helped Everton earn a 2-2 Premier League draw at Selhurst Park.

Callum Wilson believes he must be more selfish in front of goal if he is to become a top Premier League striker, after his hat-trick helped Bournemouth see off Huddersfield Town 4-0.

Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde concedes that his side were far from their fluent best in their 3-0 win over Leganes.

"Maybe 3-0 is... Читать дальше...

Arsenal 2 - Tottenham 0Arsenal take the honours in the first north London derby of the season. First-half goals from Shkodran Mustafi and Alexis Sanchez built a lead that the hosts would never surrender and Tottenham, strangely off-colour and riddled with half-fit players, mounted precious little in way of a comeback.

Wales confounded all expectations in France... Читать дальше...

Sydney FC leapfrogged Newcastle Jets at the top of the A-League, making the most of a slapstick defensive display to win 2-1 on Saturday. Milos Ninkovic and Bobo got the crucial goals for the hosts at the Allianz Stadium, but both owed plenty to their opponents' rearguard deficiencies.

A downpour before half-time sent fans scurrying for cover, save for a hardy bunch of vocal Sydney fans behind one of the goals... Читать дальше...
