David Wagner remains confident Steve Mounie will rediscover scoring form despite his misses costing Huddersfield Town in a 1-1 draw with West Ham. Benin striker Mounie was twice denied by Lukasz Fabianski at close range in the first half - once in a one-on-one - as his barren start to the season continued. The 24-year-old is yet to add to the seven Premier League goals he scored last term and the Terriers paid the price for his profligacy through Felipe Anderson's 74th-minute equaliser. Alex Pritchard... Читать дальше...

A proud Claude Puel praised his Leicester City players for their character during a "difficult" first appearance at King Power Stadium since Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha's death. Srivaddhanaprabha's son Aiyawatt was among the attendees at the scoreless draw against Burnley as emotional tributes were paid to the late Leicester owner and chairman, who was one of five people killed a helicopter crash outside the club's home ground two weeks ago. Members of the squad flew to Thailand last weekend to attend... Читать дальше...

Leeds United lost ground at the top of the Championship as West Brom ran riot in the second half to earn a 4-1 win at The Hawthorns. With Norwich City having beaten Millwall 4-3 earlier on Saturday to go three points clear at the top, Marcelo Bielsa's side required victory to move into pole position. But it was West Brom who deservedly took the spoils from an action-packed encounter, Darren Moore's side – who had hit the woodwork through Jay Rodriguez in the first half – carving Leeds' defence open at will after the interval.

Rafael Benitez praised the "fight" of Salomon Rondon after his two goals downed Bournemouth at St James' Park and predicted there is more to come from the Newcastle United striker. Rondon netted with an early strike that was followed up by a thumping header, his first Premier League goals for the club sealing a 2-1 win, Jefferson Lerma scoring the visitors' goal. After no victories in their first 10 top-flight matches of the season, Newcastle have now won two league games on the bounce for the... Читать дальше...

Neil Warnock confessed he was worried it was going to be "one of those days again" for Cardiff City before they claimed a "massive" win against Brighton and Hove Albion. Cardiff trailed early to Lewis Dunk's goal but got themselves back in the game through a Callum Paterson header before visiting midfielder Dale Stephens was sent off before half-time. Yet the Bluebirds struggled to break down Brighton and looked set to come up short until Sol Bamba's late winner, leaving Warnock a relieved man. Читать дальше...

The first leg of the highly-anticipated Superclasico between Boca Juniors and River Plate in the Copa Libertadores final has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch amid heavy rain in Buenos Aires.

Norwich City produced a stunning late comeback to beat Millwall in a seven-goal thriller, while Jordan Hugill opened his Championship account for Middlesbrough in a comfortable win over Wigan Athletic. It looked as though the Canaries were heading for a surprise home defeat having trailed 3-2, but injury-time goals from Teemu Pukki and Jordan Rhodes secured a breathless 4-3 win. Daniel Farke's side consequently go top of the table, although Leeds United will reclaim top spot if they take a point... Читать дальше...

Charlie Austin has called for VAR in the Premier League after criticising the "ridiculous" officiating in Southampton's 1-1 draw with Watford. Saints went ahead early on through Manolo Gabbiadini, but Watford levelled through Jose Holebas in the second half to increase the pressure on manager Mark Hughes. Austin had been convinced he had secured the points prior to Holebas' equaliser, but the goal was disallowed for an offside infringement from Maya Yoshida, despite the Southampton defender having not touched the ball.

A late Jose Holebas goal secured a 1-1 Premier League draw for Watford against Southampton to crank up the pressure on Saints' boss Mark Hughes. The Welshman has picked up just one win in the league this season and further questions will be asked over his suitability for the role during the upcoming international break. Manolo Gabbiadini's first goal of the season had looked like relieving the pressure on Hughes on Saturday, but Watford – enjoying their best start to a top-flight season – struck a decisive late blow.

Donjuan Triumphant, owned by the late Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, delivered an emotional victory on the final day of the flat turf calendar at Doncaster on Saturday.

Paul Pogba's relationship with Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has been mended but the midfielder still has Juventus "in his heart", according to agent Mino Raiola. World Cup-winner Pogba has endured a turbulent time at United under Mourinho, with the pair seemingly at odds on occasion. Mourinho made a habit of making an example of Pogba last season, dropping him numerous times for erratic performances, leading to links with a move to Barcelona. Pogba was then told this term he would not... Читать дальше...

Maguire, who misses the Burnley game due to injury... Читать дальше...

Sol Bamba's late strike fired Cardiff City to a valuable 2-1 Premier League home win against 10-man Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday. Neil Warnock's 100th game in charge of the Bluebirds looked set to end in disappointment after a hugely frustrating second half saw struggling Cardiff fail to break down their outnumbered visitors for long periods. Brighton led early through Lewis Dunk's header but were pegged back by a Callum Paterson equaliser and soon had Dale Stephens sent off, leaving Chris... Читать дальше...

Ernesto Valverde insists he is not taking a risk by including Lionel Messi in Barcelona's squad to face Real Betis. LaLiga leaders Barca have received a double injury boost for the clash at Camp Nou with both Messi and centre-back Samuel Umtiti fit to play. Messi, who broke his arm after falling awkwardly during a collision with Sevilla's Franco Vazquez in a 4-2 win last month, was included in the squad for the midweek Champions League draw against Inter but did not play after failing to receive the medical all clear.

Thomas Tuchel insists Football Leaks allegations against Paris Saint-Germain will not derail his side as they aim for a 13th consecutive Ligue 1 win against struggling Monaco on Sunday.

However, on... Читать дальше...

Gareth Bale's versatility makes him a key asset for Real Madrid, says interim coach Santiago Solari. Bale recorded a goal and assist in Wednesday's 5-0 Champions League win away to Viktoria Plzen, scoring his first Madrid goal since September. The Wales star has often struggled to find a role for Madrid, finding himself sidelined with former team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo previously favoured, but Solari feels Bale's ability to play in a number of different positions is vital. "I like him everywhere,"... Читать дальше...

Ernesto Valverde insists his decision to exclude Ousmane Dembele from Barcelona's squad to face Real Betis is not a punishment over reported ill-discipline. France winger Dembele was a noticeable omission from the party selected for Sunday's clash with Betis at Camp Nou. It comes amid headlines in Spain this week that Barca were unhappy with the way Dembele informed them he was unwell to train on Thursday, while it is also claimed there have been several instances of the winger breaking club rules.

Inter boss Luciano Spalletti sympathised with Jose Mourinho's emotional reaction to Manchester United's dramatic win at Juventus, saying "if you tease a lion, sooner or later it will roar".

United were trailing to Cristiano Ronaldo's stunning opener with four minutes remaining... Читать дальше...

Massimiliano Allegri has called on Juventus to bounce back swiftly from their first defeat of the season as they prepare to face AC Milan. The Bianconeri were beaten for the first time since April in midweek as Manchester United scored two late goals to turn a dramatic Champions League contest on its head. Yet head coach Allegri is keen not to spend too much time mulling over the loss, with another crunch clash against old foes Milan in Serie A on Sunday. "We have to keep doing what we are already...

Substitute Nick Cowburn scored a late equaliser as Newcastle Jets held A-League leaders Sydney FC to a 1-1 draw on Saturday. The struggling Jets - bottom of the table ahead of this clash - looked set to come up short against the 2017-18 premiers after Alex Brosque's scrappy first-half effort, only for Cowburn to net three minutes from time. Adam Le Fondre's scoring streak ended at six games in all competitions and Sydney were instead grateful for some generous goalkeeping as they opened the scoring. Читать дальше...

Under-fire coach Gennaro Gattuso has restored AC Milan's soul and dignity, according to club great Arrigo Sacchi. Gattuso turned the Rossoneri's fortunes around last season, earning qualification for the Europa League, but he endured a tough start this time around and has found his future repeatedly brought into question. An improved run has propelled Milan into Serie A's top four, though, and Sacchi - who coached the club to two European Cup triumphs - believes Gattuso deserves great credit. ... Читать дальше...

Marcus Rashford is relishing the opportunity to take on Manchester City again, revealing his 2016 derby winner for Manchester United was the highlight of his young career. The England forward has won the FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League, as well as featuring for his country at two major tournaments, but Rashford harks back to the very start of his time in the United first team for a moment he treasures above all others. In the 2015-16 season, less than a month on from his debut for the club... Читать дальше...

Pep Guardiola and Manchester City director of football Txiki Begiristain do not tend to have much time for second chances. City's squad has undergone a substantial refit since Guardiola's appointment in 2016, but a small handful of high-profile names have slipped through the net in similar circumstances. Dani Alves, Alexis Sanchez and Jorginho all seemed set for moves to the Etihad Stadium before having their heads turned by offers from elsewhere. Begiristain doubled down on a take-it-or-leave-it...

Musacchio suffered a heavy fall after colliding with teammate Franck Kessie during Milan's 1-1 draw with Real Betis in the Europa League on Thursday. There were panicked calls from Musacchio's teammates for the medical staff as he appeared to be unconscious - the back of his head hitting the ground. However, it is a knee problem that threatens to rule the player out for the remainder of 2018. Читать дальше...

Mauricio Pochettino has described Harry Kane as an "assassin" in front of goal, while suggesting English football does not fully appreciate his talent. With a double to save Tottenham's Champions League campaign against PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday, Kane took his goalscoring tally to 10 goals from 15 matches in all competitions. However, the England captain has faced criticism this season, leaving Pochettino to wonder whether the English football public truly value him. "In England, you have a lot... Читать дальше...
