The Reds battered away at Simeone's selfless, organised team throughout, forcing goalkeeper Jan Oblak into nine saves and raining down 34 efforts in total. But Simeone - who took Atletico to Champions League finals in 2014 and 2016 - still found a way to win against the odds, scoring three times in 23 extra-time minutes to stun Klopp and co. We never changed our plan, the players followed the guidelines perfectly," Simeone said.
Madrid's defeat to Levante followed last week's surprise 2-2 draw at home to Celta Vigo and meant they fell off the top of the standings and were replaced by Barca, who trounced Eibar 5-0. Before facing Celta, they had won their last five league games in a row. We have dropped five points in two games but it is what it is," added Zidane.
The Hornets sacked Nigel Pearson on Sunday and are one place and three points above the relegation zone before hosting Manchester City on Tuesday. The gaffer didn't put his hands on anybody, he was just frustrated and had a firm talking to us," Deeney said. No-one was fighting, no-one was punched. There were no hands thrown. Deeney, 32, who joined Watford from Walsall in 2010, admitted he was not expecting the decision to sack Pearson - Watford's third permanent manager of the campaign after Javi Gracia and Quique Sanchez Flores.

Malago added the government might also change its stance on a whole squad having to go into a 14-day isolation if a player tested positive for coronavirus.

The Colombian who has scored 25 times this season was then thwarted from 12 yards out by the unbeatable Forster and Rangers failed to make the most of their man advantage as Celtic staggered over the line. TALKING POINT The Great Hampden Robbery. They will talk about this match north of border for some time.
It's funny that this weekend will play the team that last weekend chopped up against “Barca” and “Real”. But if the “Levante” killed Madrid with one accurate shot and won the meeting, then “Eibar” shamefully lost to the Catalans with a score of 1-0. But actually, this season the guests also circumvented Setena’s team, so that they can be considered experts in killing top clubs in Spain. But will they cope with the club, which is located at the bottom of the standings? “Eibar” in a series of two defeats. Especially sick was the loss of “Barcelona”, because with such an account, losing is not cool. Although, as many coaches say: “It is better to lose once 0: 5 than five times 0: 1.” But do not forget that now the owners are in a terrible moral mood, while the guests are on an emotional upsurge. Therefore, an obvious advantage on the side of “Levante”, coupled with the situation in the Example.
Lucas Moura; José MourinhoGetty Images Gloom has descended on Tottenham, who are unable to view their climb to Europe’s top table as what it was – a heroic effort, but ultimately a fluke. Mauricio Pochettino and Jose Mourinho have swapped places, prompting little change in results, as the club’s refusal to strengthen in previous windows has left the likes of Moura misused and underappreciated.
All nine games spread over Saturday, Sunday and Monday will be played behind closed doors. Cramer said police would be on patrol outside Dortmund's Westfalenstadion to ensure fans did not gather during their game. We'd never prefer to play without spectators but in a crisis like this, without any alternative, going behind the curtain is better than no games," he said. I can't be 100% sure, but I'm very sure this won't become a problem.

It was the worst we'd played on all season," recalls Sturrock. They played for set pieces and it paid off. Just before the break, Thomson - who needed five stitches in an ear injury after just five minutes and played on with double vision - could only watch in horror as a Stefan Pettersson downward header from a corner reared up freakishly off the bobbly surface and away from his grasp. Regardless, McLean was adamant the outcome still gave United "a tremendous chance" at Tannadice.
Bresica were involved in the league’s last match before the lockdown – a 3-0 defeat to Sassuolo – but no competitive football has been played since, with other leagues around Europe following suit soon after. Lazio chairman Claudio Lotito said that Cellino wants the season to end because Bresica are bottom of the table and could potentially maintain their top flight status.
Valencia have had problems of late but they have been playing away from home. Back in Valencia, they are a much stronger side with no league defeats this season. They take on a Real Betis side that have gone six games without a victory. They struggle for goals on their travels and the tip here is for a Valencia home win.
Valencia were expected to get involved in the title argument this season, finishing fourth and lifting the Copa Del Rey in 2018/19; but it just hasn't happened thus far for Los Che. Albert Celades' men have struggled for consistency in La Liga alongside their Champions League commitments and last weekend's stoppage-time goal from Sergio Canales condemned them to their fourth league reverse of the campaign, Real Betis ran out 2-1 winners at Benito Villamarin.
One positive though, is that Amiens have scored in 12 of their last 15 matches, though they have managed more than one goal in a game just twice in the last 15 matches.

Oshmyany made a little surprise in the first match of this season where they beat Arsenal 3:0 on away. They played pretty well and no one expects them to win that match with so high advantage. They show offensive football and it was a key to the success. Sputnik failed to win against Smorgon and now they have to win this match. They conceded one goal against Smorgon so I see here a chance for Oshmyany to score at least one. I think that this match will be good and we should see here at least three goals. My bet is over 2.5 goals

McLean's long range shot is spilled by Vorm and Drmic bundles in the rebound from close range! 109' - GOOD SAVE! Lamela threads it through to Lo Celso whose drive from a tight angle is saved by Krul.
But they will face the same, alien problems of inconsistent bounce and roll on a surface that is as much sand as grass. Plus, they come into the tie at arguably the lowest moment of Solskjaer's time at the club, having meekly lost their last two games - at fierce rivals Liverpool and then at home against Burnley. Clearly, Solskjaer has the superior players at his disposal but Tranmere will have the bit between their teeth and a leveller beneath their feet.
Top league scorer: Adam Johnson (8). Other key men: Seb Larsson, Fabio Borini, Connor Wickham. Boss Gus Poyet said Sunderland needed "a miracle" - and it took an unlikely hero to spark this rescue mission. One point from 24 left the Black Cats seven points adrift with six games left and they still had to visit Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United. Enter Connor Wickham, who had just returned after spending most of the season on loan in the Championship.
Very good stats for taking the over 2.5 goals bet here in this one as the hosts have played 6 out of 7 home games with over 2.5 goals scored in them actually they won just 2 of those 7 home games one right at the start of this new season and one last round and both times they covered the over 2.5 goals all by themselves as those games ended in 3-0 wins for them and they are good at scoring but in some games they are poor in defense and Real Pilar is a decent team so will back over 2.5 goals.

It’s a question for him [Freddie], I just wanted him to make a decision to pick the best possible lineup to win against Everton.

We’re confident that both teams will score in Thursday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1. Both teams still have something to play for on Thursday, with Sporting looking to secure top spot and LASK hoping to maintain their grip on the final qualifying spot, so we are expecting a tight and tense ninety minutes. Both teams have made themselves hard to beat of late and a draw would suit both managers at the end of the day.

It helped me mentally and began to teach me self-worth - but it wasn't until I started my media career that I experienced blatant sexism. My first job in sport was working in football media. I got constantly asked if I liked football, if I knew football. Why are you asking me? Do you like football?" is what I should have said, but never did. I wasn't confident enough in myself. I just used to say "yes" and then reel off a million reasons why, to try and prove it.

Things are wide open in Group J with just three points separating top from bottom as both Roma and Monchengladbach perform below expectations.

I'm going to stick to what I've been trusted to do by the club and hopefully that will be good enough, and that they can see what we're doing is right. It's one of these jobs that… we know how football is nowadays, but all my conversations with the club have been positive. United will travel to Tranmere on Sunday in the fourth round of the FA Cup before facing rivals Manchester City in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final clash.
Rice said no players in the Premier League want it and that his team mates were "livid" about the decision, but Moyes was a little more measured in his response. I wouldn't say I'm a great fan (of VAR) but we are having to come to terms with it. People who have played football know when it's not right and tonight is one of those situations.
He said he has "no idea" when they will be fit. Without them, it is hard to see United's fortunes improving to any great degree. Little wonder Solskjaer did not want to address the immediate issue of catching Chelsea just yet. It's not about taking advantage [of Chelsea's results]," he said. It's when 38 games have gone that you need to be there. There are going to be teams that lose points and we need to capitalise in games like this sometimes.

Those goals include their ongoing attempt to reform the transfer system and expanding the use of technology, including the video assistant referee (VAR) system. The successful implementation of VAR in FIFA’s competitions provides a foundation for the continuous enhancement of VAR technology, which should focus particularly on improving communication around VAR incidents and making the technology accessible for all member associations, regardless of their size and/or financial resources," said FIFA.

The Netherlands winger thought he had scored Villa's third before half-time, but he slightly mis-timed his run onto a John McGinn pass and was adjudged offside after putting the ball into the net. Grealish was a constant threat with his dribbling ability and came close to getting the goal he deserved but curled over from 15 yards after neat link-up play with El Ghazi. Wesley should have added a third in the 77th minute but failed to beat Martin Dubravka from close range but Villa, who had been beaten in successive Premier League matches by Manchester City, Liverpool and Wolves, suffered no late scares and collected three points.
We're confidently getting behind Julen Lopetegui's side to bag all three points and we're also predicting a 3-1 correct score. Whilst Villarreal have lost six from eight on their travels, they have managed to net in all of their away games this season, a trend which we can see continuing here due to their attacking style of play.
