Antonio Conte was not overly concerned by the amount of chances Chelsea wasted in Saturday's 2-1 win over Crystal Palace, adamant the overall performance was a pleasing one. Chelsea had little difficulty against Palace for the majority of the match, opening up a two-goal lead by the 32nd minute thanks to Willian's opener and a Martin Kelly own-goal. The hosts were dominant after the break too, creating several opportunities to trouble Wayne Hennessey in the Palace goal, while the post came to the... Читать дальше...

Gennaro Gattuso wants his AC Milan players to be "angry" after a poor performance in a Europa League defeat to Arsenal. Milan went down 2-0 at home to the Premier League side in Thursday's last-16 first leg, ending a run of 13 games without a loss in all competitions.

And the former Italy international demanded a response from his players after Milan flopped to defeat against Arsenal. Читать дальше...

Wolves' vice-like grip on the Championship top spot was loosened at Villa Park on Saturday as Aston Villa recorded a stunning 4-1 win.

West Brom head coach Alan Pardew will seek clarification over his future after a sapping 4-1 loss at home to Leicester City pushed his seemingly doomed side closer to relegation.

Burnley manager Sean Dyche did not feel his players were in danger after West Ham fans invaded the London Stadium pitch during his side's 3-0 Premier League win.

Swansea City boss Carlos Carvalhal hailed the backs-to-the-wall goalless draw at Huddersfield Town as one of his finest Premier League results. The visitors faced 30 shots, attempted zero and had only 19 per cent of possession at John Smith's Stadium after losing Jordan Ayew to a straight red card in the 11th minute. It was the first time since April 2012 that a team failed to muster a shot in a Premier League fixture, but a combination of desperate defending and a fine Lukasz Fabianski performance proved enough to frustrate the Terriers.

Chelsea bounced back from consecutive Premier League defeats by easing to a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace, as Willian scored his fifth goal in five games. The reigning champions lost to Manchester United and Manchester City in their last two games, but things were rather more straightforward this time around and they should have claimed a more comprehensive win over Palace given the number of chances they created. Chelsea were on top for most of the first half and attempted a total of 16 shots, though... Читать дальше...

Southampton manager Mauricio Pellegrino criticised his players for not representing the values of the club as he apologised to fans after they slumped to a 3-0 Premier League defeat at Newcastle United.

Bayern Munich midfielder Corentin Tolisso left the field "in a lot of pain" as his side beat Hamburg 6-0, according to coach Jupp Heynckes. The 23-year-old was introduced as a second-half substitute during Bayern's rout of their relegation-threatened visitors before he was involved in a collision with Hamburg's Vasilije Janjicic. Both players suffered shin injuries but Tolisso's were serious enough that he had to be assisted off the field by medical staff, and Heynckes said he was waiting on an... Читать дальше...

Sam Allardyce lauded the "masterful" performance of Wayne Rooney despite his missed penalty in Everton's 2-0 Premier League win over Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday. The hosts were wasteful in the first half at Goodison Park, but Gaetan Bong's own goal – forced when Theo Walcott sought to get on the end of Yannick Bolasie's teasing delivery – broke the deadlock on the hour mark. Rooney played in a deep-lying role and enjoyed plenty of time on the ball, with Cenk Tosun doubling the Toffees'... Читать дальше...

Jose Mourinho substituted Manchester United matchwinner Marcus Rashford against Liverpool as he was afraid referee Craig Pawson would follow the advice of pundit Gary Neville and send the striker off.

Covering the game for Sky Sports, former United and England full-back Neville said he felt Rashford could have been sent off... Читать дальше...

West... Читать дальше...

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere has mocked Watford striker Troy Deeney ahead of the sides' Premier League meeting at Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Deeney equalised from the penalty spot before Tom Cleverley sealed a last-gasp 2-1 win during the reverse fixture at Vicarage Road last October.

West Brom were unable to capitalise on Salomon Rondon's earlier opener as Leicester City inflicted a damaging 4-1 defeat upon the Premier League's bottom club. Rondon marked his 100th Premier League appearance in fine style with a well-taken eighth-minute opener but Jamie Vardy's brilliant 21st-minute volley – his fourth in as many visits to The Hawthorns – hauled Claude Puel's men level. There was plenty of attacking endeavour from Albion but Alan Pardew's grasp on his job as head coach was made... Читать дальше...

Swansea City survived for almost 80 minutes with 10 men as Huddersfield Town squandered a big opportunity in a 0-0 draw at John Smith's Stadium on Saturday. Despite losing Jordan Ayew to a straight red card in just the 11th minute, Carlos Carvalhal's side battled through sustained pressure to secure a vital point in their bid to avoid relegation.

Everton continued their fine home form with a 2-0 win over Brighton and Hove Albion courtesy of Gaetan Bong's own goal and an excellent strike from Cenk Tosun. A match pitting together two of the Premier League's mid-table clubs never looked likely to provide a feast of entertainment and the visitors' lack of ambition made for a largely drab affair, until a frantic final 30 minutes in which Wayne Rooney missed a penalty and Anthony Knockaert saw red. Sam Allardyce's side certainly showed more desire... Читать дальше...

Kenedy scored twice and Jonjo Shelvey played a starring role as Newcastle United piled the pressure on Southampton manager Mauricio Pellegrino by going five points clear of the Premier League relegation zone with a 3-0 win. Newcastle had missed a chance to put breathing room between themselves and the drop two weeks ago when they let a 2-0 lead slip in a 2-2 draw at Bournemouth before suffering a 2-0 loss to Liverpool at Anfield. They started the day 16th and only a point and a place above Southampton... Читать дальше...

The clinical touch Marcus Rashford showed in Manchester United's 2-1 victory over Liverpool delighted manager Jose Mourinho.

The 20-year-old completed his first top-flight double since his debut in February 2016 when he appeared in the right place at the right time to guide a loose ball beyond Loris... Читать дальше...

Robert Lewandowski has become the highest-scoring foreign player in Bayern Munich's history after overtaking Giovane Elber. The Polish star scored twice in the first half of Bayern's Bundesliga clash with Hamburg to take his total goal tally to 141 goals in 182 games across all competitions. Elber enjoyed six goal-laden years at Bayern between 1997 and 2003. The Brazilian moved to Lyon having scored 139 goals in 265 games for Bayern, making Lewandowski's feat of breaking the record in 83 games fewer all the more impressive. Читать дальше...
