But this reckoned without the input of Zaha and Benteke. Zaha's goal was a superb strike, fiercely fired into the net via the crossbar from an unlikely distance. Benteke's was more routine, tapped in from point-blank range following a neat move, but almost as surprising, it being his first goal at Selhurst Park since April 2018. And Palace came within a whisker of snatching a point when Scott Dann's back-post header struck the inside of the post before Chelsea hacked the ball clear.
In normal circumstances, I would have known whether I was on Wrexham's retained list a long time ago. Players would be due back in pre-season training in a couple of weeks and, even if I was still looking for a contract, I would be in dialogue with quite a few clubs. But none of that can happen until we find out when the new season will start. That is what makes things so uncertain for so many people.
Okay maybe not. IN THE CHANNELS Last night, Barcelona pumped Leganes 5-0 in the Copa del Rey for what was Lionel Messi’s 500th career win with Barca. Fittingly he scored twice, including this glacé cherry on top - as sweet as you like. COMING UP While most clubs are working late into the night on the serious business of getting in a random loan signing they’ve barely scouted, Derby County and Stoke City have an entertaining and frivolous diversion of actually playing some football.
City racked up 20 attempts on goal to Dinamo's two on the night, and only some uncharacteristically poor finishing from Sergio Aguero, Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling kept the score to respectable levels.

We were better in loss to United' - manager reactionManchester City manager Pep Guardiola: "We made an incredible result but the way we played against Manchester United was better in many, many things. I know we are judged on the result but I have a duty to judge the performance, not just the result. Arsenal interim manager Freddie Ljungberg: "We tried to keep the ball and be the Arsenal we want to be.

In my opinion these odds are really generous to bet on an Under between Spal and Bologna: Spal has the weakest attack of Serie A by far, being the only team to have scored less than 15 goals in the first 20 rounds, while Bologna certainly has a better attack, but they are much stronger at home than away. In the last 4 clashes between these teams no one has scored more than once and they have obviously all stayed Under: this should be another tight game between 2 teams which are fully involved in the fight not to be relegated, so another Under is likely.

Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay has signed a contract extension to June 2025, with an option to extend it for a further year. The deal is recognition for the huge progress the 23-year-old has made since he was given debut by former boss Jose Mourinho against Arsenal in May 2017. Born in Lancaster, McTominay is a full Scotland international. All I have ever known is United and I hope my passion for the club shows every time I go on the pitch," he said.
India top scorer Bala Devi's groundbreaking move to Rangers "can be inspirational for players everywhere", says manager Amy McDonald. Devi, 29, has joined the Scottish club from Manipur Police Sports Club on an 18-month deal and is the first professional Indian female footballer. The forward has 52 goals in 58 caps and scored more than 100 domestic goals. To play in Europe with one of the world's biggest clubs is something I could never have dreamed of," she said.
I would be buzzing with a top-four finish. Do we deserve it? I am not too sure, but all the other teams have been inconsistent too, not just us. MONDAY Leicester v Aston Villa (20:00 GMT)I thought Aston Villa were competitive enough in the Carabao Cup final but it always felt like Manchester City were going to win it. Now it is back to a relegation battle for Dean Smith's men, and this is a tough game for them as they look to climb out of the bottom three.
There their run was ended in fairly brutal fashion by Marcelo Bielsa’s Athletic Bilbao. In a strange quirk of fate that only football seems able to conjure up in the starting XI for Athletic in both matches of the semi-final was Andoni Iraola, now the manager of Mirandes. Andoni Iraola the manager of CD Mirandes reacts during the La Liga Smartbank match between Deportivo de La Coruna and CD Mirandes at Abanca Riazor Stadium on September 29, 2019 in La Coruna, Spain.

The rivalry of the two midfielders that I loved and admired growing up, watching them go to battle, was why it stood out. Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira were built to go head-to-head with each other. What you saw from the two of them in the tunnel before the game you don't get to see these days. It doesn't have that raw fire, that raw passion. And then they go out on the pitch and the quality they had was second to none.
Instead, work will be done on shape, both in and out of possession. It is wrong to describe Mourinho as a defensive coach - but he is an organised one. As United experienced following Mourinho's dismissal, the chances are Tottenham are benefiting now from is the introduction of a new voice, new methods and a fresh start. Man Utd v Tottenham - match preview'My time at Man Utd is a closed chapter'Solskjaer not 'more concerned' after recent sackingsThis feels familiar - but has Mourinho changed?Mourinho could not have done more than win his first three competitive games.
Media playback is not supported on this device Incredible scenes at Liverpool Champions League victory parade But what they have done in the league so far this season really shows what the whole club is about. They are relentless, and you cannot break this team down. It was Klopp who brought in that mindset - but it is the German's ability to sustain, develop and progress it that makes this such an exciting time.
Oliver, who will referee Sunday's north London derby against Arsenal, was also the VAR official when Kane had a goal ruled out in Spurs' 3-1 defeat by Sheffield United last week. The game had the most important moment - you know when, you know who," said the Spurs boss. Mourinho told BBC MOTD he feels "powerful people do not like to be criticised". Asked to clarify who he was referring to, Mourinho told Sky Sports: "The same referee that was the VAR against Sheffield United.
Bertrand will have just one year remaining on his contract in the summer, which could mean Leicester could sign him for a cut-price fee. The Foxes will face competition from Inter Milan for the Champions League winner, who has attracted long-term interest from former Blues boss Antonio Conte. Paper Round's view: It seems inevitable that Leicester will lose Chilwell.
For the majority, anyone but Ashley is an improvement. Many believe he has ruined the club with his lack of investment, although he can point to record signings in two of the last three transfer windows. For the most part, Ashley has run the club within its means. But it is the manner of his ownership which sticks in the throat for most fans. They feel he does not care, rarely attends games, and uses the stadium as an advertising hoarding for his Sports Direct business.
Arsenal sacked Emery on Friday and brought in Ljungberg as the interim head coach. Emery posts 'letter of thanks' to Arsenal It has to be Poch Ozil proved to be a puzzle Emery could not solve during his time at Arsenal, and the German midfielder – who has started just four Premier League games this season – made no mention of Emery in his Twitter post… Among the players to thank Emery were Alexandre Lacazette and Calum Chambers.

TALKING POINT What happened to Liverpool? The Reds were never at the races from their front three to their spate of defensive blunders. This result will probably have little impact on the title race but will be a test for Klopp's side on how they recover from their first defeat in 44 Premier League games when they face Chelsea in the FA Cup fifth round on Tuesday.
He deserves our congratulations. Did you know? Ederson kept 16 clean sheets in the 2019-20 Premier League season. Defenders - Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Harry Maguire (Man Utd), Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool), Andrew Robertson (Liverpool) Alexander-Arnold: I introduced myself to this lad last summer at Wimbledon. He was with his mates looking forward to a relaxing day watching tennis. A week earlier I had been in Madrid watching the Liverpool full-back win the Champions League trophy, having beaten Tottenham.
Abraham has scored 12 league goals this season and been in Gareth Southgate's last two England squads. He scored his first England goal against Montenegro in November and is likely to get another chance to impress against Italy and Denmark in March, with captain Harry Kane ruled out with a hamstring injury.
this is not going to be easy game from Stuttgart to get the win, yes they are big favorites versus right now worst team in the league but Dresden won two matches in a row and now they have hope to avoid relegation with 6 points away from safe zone and in every home game they will be extremely motivated and since Stuttgart defense is not that good I think it is very realistic dinamo will score a goal and of course on the other side Stuttgart should do the same so I think this bet is very very safe and sound
Sanctions passed by sporting organisations have had no significant effect and law enforcement in many countries has failed to provide appropriate responses to prosecute the perpetrators of these crimes – whether in stadia or online. Under the three-step protocol, play is stopped and a request is made to the crowd to stop racist behaviour.

Spartaks Jurmala and Ventspils are quite balanced rivals and always compare each other on the rankings over many seasons. However, the away team Ventspils with superior performance will be assessed somewhat better in this match.
The Portuguese worked with the striker during their time at Inter Milan and Manchester United, and have famously maintained a close personal bond. We have the best striker in England," said Mourinho. It doesn't make any sense for a striker of Zlatan's dimension to come to a club where we have Harry Kane.
He's been in the right positions and got his reward. The goal-drought club Saido Berahino took 913 days to score his first goal for StokeWhen it comes to barren runs, Joelinton is in 'good' company:Striker Steve Mounie managed 44 shots without a goal between April 2018 and January 2019 when he played for Huddersfield - a record in the Premier League. Alan Smith, a potent force in attack when he played for Leeds in the early 2000s, went 70 games without a goal between his final 18 games for Manchester United and his 52 for Newcastle.
Yet that remarkable story attracted a huge interest in their best players. Frenkie de Jong was sold to Barcelona for 75 million euros ($82 million), and Matthijs de Ligt cost Juventus the same amount, with coach Erik ten Hag fighting hard to keep the remainder of his side together for the 2019-20 season.
Altyn Asyr won the trophy in Yokary Liga last season and they are again on of the main candidates to win the title. > They started good this season with 2 wins and 3 draws and in the previous round they beat good team Ahal with 2-1 at home.

Everton are still considering their managerial options, with Shanghai's Portuguese coach Vitor Pereira a leading contender and former boss David Moyes still in the mix.

I haven't a clue what was happening with him," said Ferguson.
Tanjong Pagar are back in the Premier League. They haven't played in the top division since 2014. They looked good in offense in the first match against Lion City and I wait for goals from them when hosting Albirex Niigata that conceded two goals in the latest match against Balestier.
Manchester City pushed Arsenal deeper into crisis as they won with embarrassing ease at Emirates Stadium. Kevin de Bruyne produced a first-half masterclass as Pep Guardiola's side cruised into a three-goal lead by the interval with two superb strikes, either side of a perfect pass that laid on City's second for Raheem Sterling's simple finish. It was a harrowing experience for Arsenal caretaker manager Freddie Ljungberg, who was a powerless low-key presence, his minimal impact since succeeding the sacked Unai Emery reflected in a record of one win from his five matches in interim charge.
As Ramsey shifted from 4-2-4 to his 'wingless wonders' in the second phase, he played a loose 4-1-3-2 with Nobby Stiles shutting down opposing attacking threat, Alan Ball industrially working the right flank and Bobby Charlton given license to burst forward with the ball with outstanding results. Peters helped hold the system together, capable of winning the ball and distributing effectively, covering for Charlton when he went forward and also arriving in the box undetected to score crucial goals.
DEBATE OVER The endless chitter chatter over who is better Messi or Ronaldo? can be easily ended. Ronaldo isn't even the best Ronaldo.

The campaign has been a pleasing one as far as Rangers are concerned.
