Watford boss Marco Silva is encouraged by the confidence his team will carry into Tuesday's clash with Manchester United. The Hornets cruised to an impressive 3-0 win away to Newcastle United on Saturday as Will Hughes and Andre Gray scored either side of a DeAndre Yedlin own goal. Silva's side have now won two straight in the Premier League and, with Richarlison continuing his eye-catching form, appear ready to take it to the Red Devils at Vicarage Road. The Portuguese, who continues to be linked with the vacancy at Everton... Читать дальше...

Borussia Dortmund's under-pressure coach Peter Bosz insisted he will not give up despite seeing his side throw away a four-goal lead in a remarkable Ruhr derby against Schalke. Goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Mario Gotze and Raphael Guerreiro – combined with an own goal from Benjamin Stambouli – had put Bosz's side well in control by the 25th minute of Saturday's Bundesliga encounter at Signal Iduna Park. But two goals in the space of four minutes hauled Schalke back into proceedings after the break... Читать дальше...

Sunderland are off the bottom of the Championship after two late goals earned Chris Coleman's side a 2-0 victory at Burton Albion. The result marked Coleman's first win in charge of the club and it arrived on a day when fellow strugglers Bolton Wanderers were thumped 5-1 by league leaders Wolverhampton Wanderers. Elsewhere there were wins for three of the division's top six sides, while third-placed Sheffield United were held at home by Birmingham City. BLACK CATS ENJOY FIRST WIN SINCE AUGUST...

Antonio Conte felt Chelsea earned the fortune of Willian's equaliser with their fighting spirit in the 1-1 draw against Liverpool at Anfield. Conte complained before the Premier League contest that his players did not have sufficient recovery time following the midweek trip to face Qarabag in the Champions League and might have feared the worst when Liverpool's ex-Chelsea winger Mohamed Salah opened the scoring in the 65th minute with his 15th goal of the season. But Willian, who scored twice in a 4-0 stroll against the Azerbaijani champions... Читать дальше...

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho shied away from the debate over whether his side's decisive goal against Brighton and Hove Albion should have stood. Lewis Dunk's unfortunate deflection from an Ashley Young shot in the 66th minute proved the difference at Old Trafford on Saturday. The lone goal came following a Marcus Rashford corner, which Chris Hughton argued should have been a goal-kick due to an apparent touch from Romelu Lukaku. But the Red Devils boss was not prepared to weigh into... Читать дальше...

Bayern Munich's winning start in the Bundesliga in Jupp Heynckes' fourth stint in charge came to an end as they slumped to a 2-1 defeat at in-form Borussia Monchengladbach. Prior to Saturday's encounter with his former club Heynckes – Gladbach's record Bundesliga goalscorer – had won all five of his top-flight fixtures since taking over from Carlo Ancelotti. However, Bayern never really got going in a low-key first half, with quick-fire goals from Thorgan Hazard – who converted from the spot after 39 minutes ... Читать дальше...

Willian came off the bench to net a seemingly fortuitous equaliser as Chelsea snatched a 1-1 draw against Liverpool at Anfield. Mohamed Salah appeared set to punish his former club when he broke the deadlock in an absorbing contest after 65 minutes. But Brazil international Willian, who scored twice in the 4-0 Champions League win over Qarabag in midweek, picked out the far corner with a chipped attempt from the right-hand side of the penalty area five minutes from time – Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet caught out as he shaped to cross.

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson praised Christian Benteke after the striker's influential performance in a 2-1 comeback victory over Stoke City. Benteke, who recently recovered from a knee injury, was introduced as a second-half substitute shortly before Palace fell behind to a fine solo goal by Stoke's Xherdan Shaqiri. The Belgian was involved in Palace's equaliser two minutes later, providing a knock-down to Andros Townsend, who crossed for Ruben Loftus-Cheek to equalise. The comeback was completed by club captain Mamadou Sakho... Читать дальше...

Swansea City boss Paul Clement believes he saw enough in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Bournemouth at the Liberty Stadium to suggest his side can avoid relegation this season. Both sides struggled to carve out many clear opportunities, with the Swans coming closest through Leroy Fer late on - the Netherlands international prodding wide after his initial shot had been saved by Asmir Begovic. The stalemate ends a run of four straight defeats and Clement was encouraged by a much-improved display, which... Читать дальше...

Brighton and Hove Albion boss Chris Hughton believes the corner that led to Manchester United's winner on Saturday should not have been awarded. Lewis Dunk deflected Ashley Young's effort into his own net after the winger fired a half-clearance back on goal in the 66th minute. But debate surrounded the referee's decision to give the corner in the first place after the ball appeared to come off Romelu Lukaku before running out of play. Hughton felt the incident denied the visitors a merited point. Читать дальше...

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino was left to lament Salomon Rondon's early strike as the club's Premier League title hopes were dealt another blow with a 1-1 draw against West Brom at Wembley. Rondon gave Albion a fourth-minute lead before a typically expert piece of movement and poaching from Kane in the 74th minute secured a point for Spurs. The result means that Pochettino's side fall five points behind second-placed Manchester United, while leaders Manchester City will be 13 points better... Читать дальше...

Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde believes Neymar's departure from Catalonia prompted the club to increase Lionel Messi's buy-out clause. The Brazil international was prised away from Camp Nou in August when Paris Saint-Germain agreed to pay €222million for his services, a figure that meant Barcelona were powerless to prevent the deal going through. After much speculation, Messi's new deal, that runs until 2021, was announced on Saturday, with a release clause of €700m - a marked increase to the... Читать дальше...

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho was prepared to admit that Saturday's 1-0 win over Brighton and Hove Albion was tough on the visitors, whom he described as his side's toughest opposition this season. The Seagulls matched United for large periods at Old Trafford as the hosts struggled to create clear-cut openings, barring Mat Ryan's excellent double save from Romelu Lukaku and Paul Pogba at the end of the first half. When the deadlock was broken midway through the second period it was done... Читать дальше...

Harry Kane branded Tottenham's display in the 1-1 draw against West Brom as "not good enough" and said Mauricio Pochettino's team cannot blame Wembley for their current indifferent form. Salomon Rondon hit an early opener for managerless Albion, with Dele Alli, Davinson Sanchez and Hugo Lloris all culpable. Spurs struggled for fluency thereafter and, despite Kane levelling with his ninth Premier League goal of the season in the 74th minute, they were unable to force a win. Pochettino's men have...

Mamadou Sakho scored in injury time to earn bottom club Crystal Palace only their second Premier League victory of the season in a 2-1 win over Stoke City. After a deadlocked first half, Roy Hodgson's struggling side went behind when Stoke's Xherdan Shaqiri scored a brilliant solo goal, the Switzerland star dribbling the length of the Palace half before coolly converting.  Rather than letting their heads drop, Palace surged forward in search of an equaliser and got their reward when Andros Townsend...

Crystal Palace 2- 1 StokeSupporters at Selhurst Park had to wait until ten minutes into the second-half for this to get going: Xherdan Shaqiri finishing well after a fine run. Another terrific goal for a player who doesn't do 'ordinary'. The lead would last mere seconds, though, as Stoke's defenders failed to pick up Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the penalty box, leaving him alone to finish a Yohan Cabaye cross at the back-post. The game looked to be heading for a draw until, deep into stoppage time, Mamadou... Читать дальше...

Lewis Dunk's desperately unlucky own goal gave Manchester United a laborious 1-0 victory over Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League on Saturday. The defeat was harsh on an assured and enterprising Brighton side, but that will be of little consequence to Jose Mourinho as United recorded an 11th straight home win across all competitions. After wasting numerous first-half chances in Wednesday's 1-0 Champions League loss at Basel, United could not even be accused of profligacy on this occasion as the likes of Anthony Martial...

Newcastle United slumped to a fourth successive Premier League defeat as Watford stormed to a 3-0 win at St James' Park on Saturday. Eager to correct a concerning wobble, the alarm bells only grew louder for the Magpies as they were routinely exposed at the back. Watford had themselves ended a three-match losing run last weekend and looked full of confidence during an open first half. Will Hughes clinically dispatched his second in as many matches in the 19th minute before Marvin Zeegelaar, who assisted the opener... Читать дальше...

Swansea City ended a run of four consecutive Premier League defeats with an uninspiring 0-0 draw against Bournemouth at the Liberty Stadium. The result is unlikely to ease the pressure on manager on Paul Clement, whose side now face daunting trips to Chelsea and Stoke City in the next week.  The under-fire manager will be left to rue Wilfried Bony's disallowed goal on the stroke of half-time, but neither side did enough to win a game desperately lacking in quality. Ivory Coast international Bony... Читать дальше...

Naldo's stoppage-time header salvaged a remarkable point for Schalke as they came from four goals down to draw 4-4 in a dramatic Ruhr derby against rivals Borussia Dortmund, piling the pressure on Peter Bosz. Four goals in the space of 13 first-half minutes had seemingly put Dortmund in command at Signal Iduna Park, but Schalke rallied after the interval - taking advantage of dreadful Dortmund defending, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's red card, to complete an unbelievable comeback. Having already had a goal ruled out by the VAR system... Читать дальше...

Lionel Messi confirmed his desire to remain a one-club player with Barcelona after extending his stay at the Catalan giants to 2021. The Argentina legend ended a long-running saga by putting pen to paper on a new contract on Saturday, with the deal containing a €700million buyout clause. Messi had been linked with a potential move to Manchester City, while he has previously expressed an interest to finish his career in his homeland. But the four-time Champions League winner, who will be 34 when his latest contract expires... Читать дальше...

Mauricio Pochettino has once again dropped Danny Rose from Tottenham's Premier League matchday squad for Saturday's match against managerless West Brom at Wembley. England full-back Rose was left out to undertake fitness work at Spurs' training base as Arsenal beat their bitter rivals 2-0 in last weekend's north London derby. The 27-year-old, who has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United and questioned Tottenham's ambition in a controversial pre-season interview, returned to face Borussia Dortmund in midweek.

Kevin De Bruyne sees no reason why Manchester City cannot complete a clean sweep of trophies this season as Pep Guardiola's side continue to swat aside any and all opposition. City head into Sunday's visit to Huddersfield Town on the back of 16 wins from 17 across all competitions – a sequence interrupted only by an EFL Cup draw and subsequent penalty shoot-out triumph over Wolves. De Bruyne has been in sensational form and already looks a strong bet to scoop various individual honours at the end of the campaign. Читать дальше...

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has urged his squad to be "ready and greedy" during an exhaustive run of 11 games through to New Year's Day. The Reds commence a gruelling period at home to Premier League champions Chelsea on Saturday and will meet rivals Everton and fellow top-four contenders Arsenal in a busy December. The need for rotation may mean more opportunities for the likes of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Andy Robertson, Daniel Sturridge and the fit-again Adam Lallana, who is set to return from a thigh injury.

Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi has signed a new four-year contract with the club, ending mounting speculation over his future. After making his Barca debut aged 17, Messi has been the scourge of defenders in Spain and across Europe, racking up 523 goals for the Blaugrana and collecting 30 trophies. Here we take a look at some of the most memorable goals of a sensational career that will now continue at Camp Nou until 2021.   Albacete (H): May 1, 2005 Even at 17, Messi had the confidence of a veteran.
