The most memorable came when the winger's free-kick from near the corner flag curled over Kepa Arrizabalaga's head and hit the far post before rebounding in off the Chelsea goalkeeper for an own goal. Ziyech played the final 10 minutes of Ajax's 3-0 win against Vitesse in the Dutch Cup on Wednesday, as he returned from a calf injury. After the game, Ajax boss Erik ten Hag said: "I am not surprised by the news about Ziyech.
Brentford were well worth their third straight win since football's resumption - and a fourth in succession overall - that ramped up the pressure on the top two, particularly second-placed West Bromwich Albion. The mid-table Royals' only real chance fell to Michael Olise just before half-time, with his goalbound volley deflected over by well-positioned Bees defender Pontus Jansson. Relive Tuesday's Championship actionBuzzing Bees hot on heels of wobbling West BromWhen Brentford kicked off the Championship's restart with a lunchtime trip to Fulham on 20 June, all eyes were on the Bees' London neighbours as the team likeliest to break into the top two.
We will see what happens. Watford close to new manager Watford are expected to announce their new manager on Monday after binning Quique Sanchez Flores. Chris Hughton and Paul Clement are thought to be the two men in the frame for the Vicarage Road hotseat, while Alan Curbishley is still available. Results 'leaked' It's probably just a teenager on Microsoft Paint, but we love a good conspiracy and many people are claiming the Ballon d'Or results have already been leaked.
Ferdinand, now 41, said he was encouraged to stay in England after United had knocked the Spaniards out to reach the 2008 Champions League final, where they beat Chelsea on penalties to complete a double after winning the English title. We beat them and went on to become European Champions so why would I leave them to go to another team," Ferdinand added.

Pep Guardiola's men will be desperate to get the derby result out of their system as quickly as possible, and they should have far too much quality again for an ordinary Dinamo outfit. The Croatian’s need for points is dire and their search for goals should leave plenty space at the back for City to exploit.
The best way of mitigating that risk is to have an open vote which returns a clear majority. Set a deadline for completionOn the face of it, this seems wholly reasonable and 30 June was an obvious date for it, a cut-off point at which time the season ends, no matter what the position. The reason for 30 June is contractual. Player contracts run to that point. Sponsorship deals, like the kit deal Liverpool have with Nike, around which major marketing campaigns are planned, take effect from that point.
Fernandinho: He might not be the best centre-back in the world, or even the best defender at his club, but what Fernandinho gives Manchester City is composure. He is also one of the most committed players I have seen on a football pitch. His second half block on N'Golo Kante's shot, destined for the back of the net, secured the points against Chelsea. With Joao Cancelo, John Stones and Benjamin Mendy as reliable as a chocolate fireguard, Pep Guardiola has been very astute in keeping Fernandinho around.
Reims have absolutely been worse on the road but they still have a record many teams would be enviable of. They have lost just one of their last five away games in the league with wins over Rennes and PSG showing their true quality. The clash between these teams earlier in the season was a drab 0-0 draw but don't let this disparage Reims' grandeur as they are playing some fine football at the moment. The visitors have five goals in their last five games and with Nîmes conceding a single goal in four of their last five home matches, we're backing this one to finish 1-0 to the away team.
Botola Pro League. Team RSB Berkane will play at home with team Beni Mellal. Hosts are favorites here. They takes the 1 St place in the standings. They did 4 wins at last 5 matches played. Two games there were at home . So, their shape is well now. Team Raja Beni Mellal are in the bottom zone. They have the last place in the table. Also team Raja Beni Mellal lost last their 5 matches. My bet will be over 2.5 goals here. I predict sure home win with mane goals from hosts. Maybe team Raja Beni Mellal will score their goal .
The 34-year-old finished behind Lionel Messi, Sadio Mane and Robert Lewandowski in the popular ranking of Europe's best strikers, but officials opted to switch their line-up to a four-man attack thus freeing up space for the Portugal international, reportedly at the expense of Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante.
However, Pogba, now recovered from injury, has built up an impressive rapport with Bruno Fernandes as United close in on a Champions League spot. Pogba's current deal expires in 12 months' time but United have the option to extend it by a further season. And, after Nemanja Matic followed Scott McTominay in signing a long-term deal, Solskjaer also wants Pogba, who has been out injured for most of this campaign, to commit to the club.
The hosts have just one win and one draw all season long in the league so far being by far the weakest club in Bulgaria first league level and for sure they cannot avoid relegation at the end, they lost 2-0 away at Dunav Ruse who is better they have 16 points and won 8 points in their last 5 away games for example winning two away games in their last 3 away games in the league at this moment.
I don't know why we have such a big odds for over 2.5 goals in this game. Both teams have big motive to win this game. Granada at home should be favorite in this game but they have game in Cup next week against Bilbao and they should rotate team and that is a main reason. Still, they also need victory in this one as they can catch Europa league place for next season. Celta is fighting against relegation. This team is just 2 points far from relegation place. So they must go for a win as well. They manage to score twice against Real Madrid in 2-2 draw. So over 2.5 with 2.50 look like good bet.
We feel Leipzig are likely to win this game by two or more goals, so we are backing Leipzig -1 in Saturday's fixture.There have been over 2.5 goals scored in each of Leipzig's last three Bundesliga games. While we expect Leipzig to take a convincing win this Saturday, we also feel they are likely to concede a goal at some point.

Keegan believed his team owed their fans a performance and, this time, a result. They owed the fans for the way they had lost the title the year before, for the two defeats by United that season, and for their humiliating 4-0 loss in the Charity Shield in August. There was hope things would be different this time - in the game, in the season. Newcastle had signed Alan Shearer from Blackburn for £15m, beating United to snare arguably the world's best number nine.
Legia Warsaw have won four of their last five games. At home they have won ten of their last fourteen games. They will face Arka gdynia who have lost four of their last five games. On the road Arka gdynia have lost ten of their last thirteen league games. Arka gdynia are in relegation places and will find it tough to get any point against in form Legia Warsaw. The coach will focus on the next game against Wisla plock on Sunday therefore he will rotate players.
City have conceded the first goal in three of their last four home league games, as many as they had in their previous 51 at Etihad Stadium. Chelsea's last four Premier League defeats have been against last season's top six, including all three so far this season. City's Kevin de Bruyne has been involved in more home goals than any other player in the Premier League this season (nine - three goals, six assists).
There's no words you can use to express the feeling. Distraught is about the best description I can give. It was the lowest point in my career. I remember the supporters on the pitch and seeing them in their buses going down the road afterwards and just feeling that we'd let them down.

How he wants to learn from two of the bestIn Netherlands team-mate Virgil van Dijk and Juve's Giorgio Chiellini, De Ligt plays alongside two of the finest central defenders in the game. He said: "You try to pick some attributes from them to improve your own game, but in the end I think the most important thing is to observe them but not change your own style of play. I think every player has their own style, so I just try to see things I can improve on.
LONDON, Jan 10 (Reuters) - The odds are stacked against Jose Mourinho's Tottenham Hotspur side inflicting a first Premier League loss on runaway leaders Liverpool on Saturday but he says his team should stay at home if they don't believe they can win. Tottenham will be without leading striker Harry Kane for the visit of Liverpool who have won 19 and drawn one of their 20 league games so far and lead the table by 13 points.

Hammarby are on the crest of a wave and Ibrahimovic can help them ride it, so there is palpable excitement in Stockholm. In southern Sweden on the other hand, there is a palpable sense of betrayal. Malmo supporters had hoped that when Ibrahimovic returned to Sweden it would be with the club that raised him. Instead, Malmo are left looking at a giant statue of their former hero outside their ground, while he prepares for life off the pitch by investing in one of their rivals.

Paper Round’s view: Coutinho has lost his way a little since he failed to settle at Barcelona, and with coronavirus hampering the finances of Europe’s top clubs, a huge transfer fee would probably put them off. However, the same development means that Barcelona may be willing to let him leave on a cheap deal for a year or two to avoid having to pay Coutinho’s wages anymore.
He was that big player who had the touch, the finishing ability and the calm persona. When I watched that game, it didn't surprise me because of what I saw when I played with him at Celtic. I couldn't believe he was there and that no-one had taken him before that point. He had everything and he was one of the best number nines I played with. Tottenham 3-5 Man Utd (29 September 2001) From 3-0 down at half-time to 5-3 winners - Manchester United at Tottenham in 2001Match reportIan Wright: "That was one game I did have a smile.
The Premier League season has been suspended until at least April 30 due to the pandemic and clubs across the country have been hit by significant losses in match-day revenue. Newcastle United put non-playing staff on leave and instructed employees to apply for the government's newly-created coronavirus job retention scheme and Bournemouth said they had to take similar drastic measures to protect the club's future.
Goztepe exited the cup competition earlier this week they did use a couple of reserves and mainly the keeper was a big difference from the usual started Beto, and they lost the first leg 4-3 away at Antalyaspor while at home this week they only managed a 2-2 draw but their 2nd goal was pure magic from their right winger, and I like their scoring skills having watched them win last round 3-0 away at also Antalyaspor but they were far more serious in that game having the lead 3-0 by half-time and defending in the second half.
McTominay has made 21 appearances in all competitions this term and Solskjaer said the youngster would stiffen United's midfield with his energy and commitment, and also offer a goal threat. He's a physical specimen, a leader. He never shirks a tackle and he brings everyone with him," the Norwegian added.

We were on a good run as well, in my first 16 games for Scotland we won 14 of them. I don't remember any of the players talking about medals or what we were going to do, but we definitely knew we had a good team. Media playback is not supported on this device Scotland boss Ally MacLeod was full of optimism for the 1978 World Cup The place we stayed in was absolutely ridiculous, it was just diabolical.
Lawro's prediction: 3-0Avelino's prediction: To beat City at the Etihad like Wolves and Manchester United did, you pretty much have to play the perfect game. As great as Sheffield United have been this season, I think City will have too much for them. Kevin de Bruyne is playing like an alien at the moment, and is the best player in the Premier League without a doubt. Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan.
Iker Casillas on his heart attack Casillas says it was a "privilege" to have played with RonaldoIker Casillas is a proper Real legend. Having started there as a kid he came through the ranks and between 1997-2016 saw all the Galacticos come and go. There's nothing the former Spain keeper didn't win there - five La Liga trophies, three Champions Leagues, two Spanish Cups and four Spanish Super Cups, two Fifa World Club trophies, three Intercontinental Cups and two Uefa Supercups.
Club Bruges have been declared Belgian champions after the country's Pro League confirmed last month's decision to bring the season to a premature halt because of coronavirus. They had an unassailable 15-point lead over Gent with one match left when the season was suspended. It is a 17th title for Club Bruges and their third in the past five seasons. It means they will have an automatic spot in next season's Champions League group phase.
January is coming, and with it the transfer window. Frank Lampard, having returned to Chelsea promising sweet lemonade from transfer ban lemons, has the opportunity to spend and, perhaps, the motive. With Leicester now seven points ahead of the west Londoners, and City looking to make it eight today, Chelsea are no longer looking forward but back over their shoulder.
The visitors are coming into this one following eight defeats in their 10 trips this season. The visitors have conceded twice in five of their last six on the road, while their poor away run this term has seen them ship 2.1 goals per trip. That form is a concern with Millwall playing so well.
Making the trip to The New Lawn is a Crewe side who have been one of the surprise packages of League Two this season. With a team largely made up of academy products, they were not exactly expected to be around the title picture. However, they are the top scorers in League Two with 32 goals scored and after scoring five at the weekend, they will be confident of earning the win. They also boast one of the best away records in the division despite seeing both teams score in 75% of their away matches.
His current contract runs until 2024. WHO IS INTERESTED? A lot of clubs. PSG considered a move last summer but erred – a decision they may now regret. Napoli will likely to return with improved terms after a January approach was rebuffed, while Inter have already entered into negotiations with the Florence club.
It was not long ago that you could say the same about Villa, who went on an identical run at the start of October, but they have lost their past three league games. Villa have not really recovered from losing so late on against Liverpool, and the past few weeks have been a bit of reality check for them. That is what life is like for a promoted team, with as many downs as ups, but I think Villa will be smiling again on Monday night.
His manager Jose Mourinho initially feared that neither he nor striker Harry Kane would play again this season, but it now seems likely the pair will be part of the squad which is targeting a Champions League spot. The club have nine league games remaining and are currently seven points behind fourth-placed Chelsea. I'm physically fine. I'm working really, really hard to be at my maximum level and I'm nearly there," added Son.
