They looked rusty as the visitors took the lead early on but once Jimenez tested Dean Henderson with a header after 18 minutes, they found their feet, and Adama Traore was a dangerous outlet down the right as he outmuscled Enda Stevens on several occasions. Had there been better composure from Sheffield United's forwards, the hosts may not have been able to respond, yet Doherty's goal seemed to provide a catalyst.
It begins a hectic week for the Gunners, who then travel to Standard Liege with Europa League progress still in the balance before hosting Manchester City at the weekend. Elsewhere, there is a full round of European fixtures in midweek, while there will undoubtedly be more fall-out from City's loss to Man United in the Manchester derby on Saturday, not least given the abhorrent allegations of racial abuse suffered by Fred.

Ronaldo and Kenta - Minamino's inspirationsMinamino has spoken of how Brazil's Ronaldo - who top scored at the World Cup Japan co-hosted in 2002 - inspired him with his finishing and dribbling technique. After meticulously watching videos of the striker's feints, he would go outside to practise.
Walter Ferreti is having some outstanding scoring games recently, with 7:0 win and also 2:1 losing in the previous round. However, when face tough defensive rival, like Esteli, they could go down with the score and play more defensive match.
Vysshaya Liga Reserve - Round 13. This is a league in which placement is not important because there is no relegation from the league. Reserve teams play in this league. I think that today Minsk is the favorite because of the home field. They have won 3 previous matches against Isloch. The last time it was on their field. Minsk has 2 games less and if they win both, they will come in third place.
Captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was key for the Gunners, scoring twice to make it six goals in his last seven league games and take his Premier League tally to 49 goals in 74 appearances since joining from Borussia Dortmund in January 2018.

Allowing the likes of Celtic and Rangers to compete in English football could "save" the Scottish game, says Rangers manager Steven Gerrard. The former Liverpool captain believes it would be "incredible" if the Old Firm played in the Premier League and other Scottish clubs were involved too. However, he doubts it will ever happen. I would love the Scottish league to filter into the English leagues, all of them, to save and help the Scottish game," he said.

Taking the American's place in the side, Hudson-Odoi's display was not quite as devastating, but now provides Lampard with a welcome selection headache. Burnley in free fallBurnley's season has been a repeated case of one step forward, two steps back. Three times they have put together encouraging back-to-back results, only to then lose successive games. The result at Stamford Bridge - their fourth defeat on the spin - represents a new low for the campaign, maybe not in terms of performance but certainly as regards form and league position.
Or the Nations League Finals could themselves be bumped to a later international window.

They may not be good enough, but better that risk than the certain liability that is the Everton keeper in this form. Man of the Match: Nemanja Matic His team-mate Bruno Fernandes will get a lot of votes but when United were at the best it was the Serbian midfielder was controlling the game. He looks as assured as he has in a United shirt at present.
Things are becoming a little desperate at Adelaide in recent weeks with four losses in their last four games and their lack of form has led to them dropping out of the finals series places. They had still been scoring in their games despite their poor form but they drew a blank last weekend in a 3-0 loss to Perth and things need to change quickly.
Leeds United moved back to within four points of Championship leaders West Bromwich Albion as Mateusz Klich's strike earned victory over lowly Middlesbrough at the Riverside. Klich guided a fine shot in off the far post in first-half injury time moments after Pablo Hernandez's low effort came back off the upright. Boro, who have now lost three in a row and are winless in nine league games since beating Preston North End on New Year's Day, showed decent resolve and had their moments, the best of which saw Marcus Tavernier's curled shot hit the top of the bar after the break.
Corinthians’ forward Milene was elected the women’s Player of the Year. The entire back four of the team of the year all came from Flamengo, with Rafinha taking best right back and Filipe Luis winning best left back, alongside central defenders Rodrigo Caio and Pablo Mari. Gerson, Giorgian De Arrascaeta and Everton Ribeiro were three of the best four midfielders, while both forwards, Gabriel Barbosa and Bruno Henrique, also came from Flamengo.
West Ham's fans came here to protest against their owners, with black balloons let off and a series of banners unfurled reading "Karren Brady - You're Fired. Sullivan This Charmless Man. Run Like A Circus Owned By Clowns" and "State Of The Art Retractable Promises. If there was discontent off the field, they will have been pleased with what they saw on it as West Ham ran Liverpool as close as just about anyone at Anfield this season.
That is likely to mean another start for 18-year-old striker Mason Greenwood, who scored his seventh goal of the season against Everton. With two goals in the 4-0 Europa League win over AZ Alkmaar last Thursday, Greenwood is turning into one of United's most potent attacking weapons. And Solskjaer says it is becoming tricky trying to leave the Yorkshireman out of his first-choice side. It's very difficult now to put a team out there without having Mason in my mind, yes," said Solskjaer, himself a prolific forward for the club between 1996 and 2007.
In fact, I think he's going to be top class. Mason Mount's performance against Spurs was the most mature game I have seen from the Chelsea youngster in a blue shirt. Quite apart from the fact that Mount has excellent technical ability he's also not afraid to stick his foot in and battle when required. The latter feature that was very evident during the game against Tottenham. Frank Lampard has assembled an impressive young side who believe in him.
It has not been a very good run for Leicester City since football returned and now they are facing a real challenge to stay in the Champions League slots. Lead scorer Jamie Vardy has not scored in the last three matches and the team seems to be suffering, with the striker having taken the goal scoring burden. However, Leicester have had decent defensive displays in recent matches, and they remain the side with the second best defence in the league. Everton have not been scoring a lot either and have back to back clean sheets. They haven’t lost at home in recent matches but three of the last four have ended in draws. Looking at the two sides’ defences and the fact that they are both struggling in attack, we do not expect a plenty of goals here but their home and away records will also be key here. A low scoring draw seems likely in this game.
Angelo Alessio's side has struggled to keep the goals at bay, letting in a whopping ten in their last four away days whilst only managing to net three times in as many games. Moreover, Kilmarnock has only scored in half of those games and net a mere average of 0.75 per away game.

We had a game against Manchester City the next day and obviously we couldn’t put lots of people at risk without saying anything. I had the test done last Wednesday and I was diagnosed on Friday, when we had to communicate it to the Premier League that I had tested positive. Obviously all those who had been in contact with me had to go into quarantine, and consequently games had to be suspended.

Another very interesting match from Tajikistan elite league, where new season is just begin. So, of course, like a lot of people, I also just "learning" this teams or it is better to say, the way how they are playing. In first round. Istaravshan is lost 2-1, but for me is more interesting the fact that they are in last six matches, played even five times with three or more goals, if we count and friendly duels. Kuktosh is played very strange in last two matches, 0-0 and before that one, even 5-3. Over is ok here and I will try.
Match between two teams of very similar level recently changed coach and with La Marche Iván Ania I want them to improve results in the last game they managed to draw and this I think is going to be what they will get tonight Extremadura on their part although you will be on the way to start the season well and its results away from home the draw predominates therefore I think this is the result that is going to be given and taking into account a quota greater than 3 has a lot of value since in this Second Spanish division It is the result that dominates most in all the days since there is a lot of equality between all the competing teams

Liverpool's Premier League title-winning celebrations were slightly dampened as they were thrashed by deposed champions Manchester City. Jurgen Klopp's side ended an agonising 30-year wait for the top-flight title when City lost at Chelsea last week, but were resoundingly hammered on their return to action. The Reds, who were given a guard of honour by the hosts before kick-off, could have taken the lead at Etihad Stadium but Mohamed Salah's low drive cannoned off the post.
