There was more frustration when Ayew's 55th-minute finish at the far post from Zaha's cross-shot was ruled out after a lengthy VAR inspection, the striker being ruled offside by the thinnest of margins. Palace are comfortably safe in 14th place but there is no question the end to their season has been something of an anti-climax. Man of the match - Marcus Rashford (Man Utd) Another strong performance by Marcus Rashford who added to his goal tally before setting up Anthony MartialUnbeaten run continues - the statsUnited have gone unbeaten in their last 19 games in all competitions (W14 D5) - their longest such run since a 29-game streak ending in November 2010 under Alex Ferguson.

Riley's assistant Neil Swarbrick gave the system a mark of seven out of 10. Riley added: "Part of the balance of understanding 'clear and obvious' [the terminology used to determine when an on-field error should be overturned] is that there will be times when we don't intervene and everyone thinks we should. But that is a better place to be than intervening and everyone saying 'you shouldn't have done that'.

Sheffield United continued their remarkable season by beating bottom-of-the-table Norwich 1-0 to move up to sixth in the table, courtesy of club legend Billy Sharp's winning goal. The Blades have played the same number of games as fourth-placed Chelsea - who travel to Everton on Sunday (kick-off 14:00 GMT), and are just two points adrift of a Champions League spot. Time is running out for Daniel Farke's side, six points from a position of safety with just nine games remaining.
This group of players helped this club be where it is. After this kind of thing we name a street, a pitch. What he has done is incredible, fantastic, not just for the game today, for the last 10 years. What we want is for the people to come back to the Etihad for a game for him as one of the legends of the club. Though their hold on the Premier League trophy has gone to Liverpool, City have won the Carabao Cup this season and remain in both the Champions League and FA Cup.

Hull scored a dramatic 96th-minute equaliser to earn a point at Charlton, who have now gone 10 games without a win in the Championship. Dillion Phillips failed to hold substitute Keane Lewis-Potter's header after the hosts failed to clear a free-kick, with the ball squirming against the post and in off the Addicks keeper.

When announcing a new signing on their social media channels, clubs instantly have a viral moment, which is a perfect chance to spread a message. And by recruiting a player from a particular country, they have a channel into a specific audience with a heightened interest. So when Roma signed Chris Smalling from Manchester United, they knew it would garner more interest from the United Kingdom. Hence why the video featured missing children from England.
Brighton's chief executive Paul Barber says it is "really hard to imagine" the Premier League resuming 4 April, as is currently hoped. The Premier League has said "conditions at the time" will determine whether fixtures can return on that date after they were suspended due to coronavirus. But Barber told Football Focus that date was already looking unlikely. We've got several teams in self isolation, which makes it difficult to think about that date," he said.
Leicester striker Jamie Vardy has contributed five goals and an assist in his last seven league appearances against Manchester City. Leicester have drawn back-to-back league games, having drawn just one of their previous 22 matches in the competition. Sunday, Feb. Manchester United v Watford (1400) *After scoring in each of their first 11 home league matches, United have not scored in their last two.
Chelsea's rather ludicrous record of 15 goals conceded in 2004-05 is long safe and surely unbeatable? Liverpool have the best defensive record this season but have conceded 26. City's team from 2018 has another record that looks secure - their goal difference of +79 is 30 better than this Liverpool side's. And the 4-0 defeat at City last week ensured that Reading's hold of a record stays firm. The Royals collected a record of 106 points in the Championship in 2005-06 - albeit from 46 matches - a record that is now safe.
That's a myth, I'm afraid," Parkes said. Most of the time I was listening to what was going on in the other box, which never happens in a normal game. But I do remember talking to one of our apprentices, who was stood behind the goal, in a quiet moment. We actually had all of the youth players spaced around the ground, in every stand. We only had one ball and there was no-one else to get it back when it went in there.
Not just the coronavirus problem is being highlighted but the Heads Up title refers to the ongoing campaign to help footballers with their mental health. Arsenal take on Chelsea and for them it represents a chance to clinch a place in Europe next season. For Chelsea, it's an opportunity for Frank Lampard to win a trophy in his first season as boss of the club.
For a fact, Liverpool are favorites going to this game. One other aspect about them, is their improving defence; they have managed two straight clean sheets in the last 15 matches. In their game against RB Salzburg, they shut out one of the best scoring teams in Europe, winning 2-0. Their form in the Premier League is one thing, and here they face a team that has the poorest attack in the league, and hasn’t scored against them in four of the last five meetings. Also, Watford have failed to score in three of their last five matches and have one of the worst defences in the league. Like in four of their last five meetings with Liverpool, we still don’t envision them getting a goal here and with over 2.5 goals a regular in their recent meetings, we feel this will also end that way. Liverpool have actually scored three or more against Watford in five of the last six meetings, and we will thus take a 3-0 win for them in this fixture.
Carlo Ancelotti even invited him up to Everton - “but not to play!” - where the prospect of a Dominic Calvert-Lewin/Ibrahimovic front two certainly would have been an interesting if unlikely one. Instead, it is easy to see why Milan appeals, given he was part of the last team to win the title there and they are floundering in 11th.
Willy CaballeroGetty Images Another header from Rudiger, this time from a free kick, saw both teams grab a point from the proceedings. The result means the third-placed Foxes remain eight points clear of Chelsea in fourth, who are seven clear of fifth having played a game more. The sides will now enjoy the scheduled mid-season player break before Leicester visit Wolves on Friday February 14.
They have since beaten Watford and Norwich City before losing by narrow margins to Newcastle United and West Ham United, but bounced back to overcome Aston Villa and Chelsea before the draw against Palace. We've found a way that works and it's not a coincidence that we're continuously taking points and we're able to force problems for every opponent," Hasenhuettl added.
=10.5ptBenfica have scored at least two goals in seven of their last eight matches but have not backed it up with good defence and have conceded two or more in three of the last four. Braga, on the other hand, have scored two or more goals in seven of their last nine but they have no clean sheet in the last seven away matches, and only one in the last 12 away games. We feel this one will yield a lot of goals and we will be backing an over 2.5 goals return here.
It did not take long for the deadlock to be broken after the break. Ings believed he should have had a penalty, but once Kevin Friend had waved away his appeals, Liverpool broke. Firmino’s flick fed Oxlade-Chamberlain, who drove a shot past a flat-footed McCarthy. Southampton protested the decision not to give them a spot kick but to no avail.
There isn't a huge difference between these two sides though and we can't foresee Bratislava leaving Turkey with a big win. For that reason we're predicting a 1-0 win for the visitors, a slender victory that sees them doing enough to claim the win they need without ever being truly comfortable with their lead.
Celtic have seen 18 goals scored in their 6 away days so far- an average of 3 goals a game. Taking that into account we're also going for a 2-1 win for the Hoops, as they have also conceded 0.83 times on the road and have conceded at least once in 2 of their last 3 games.
It is expected that the new season would start behind closed doors. The women's transfer window would now open on 19 June and close on 10 September, the Football Association's head of league operations Lauren O'Sullivan has said, while clubs' pre-season training would provisionally begin in July. Kelly Simmons, the FA's director of the women's professional game, said: "We looked if we could come back earlier, but we want to put in place the right pre-season for the players.
The Argentine giants are bottom of the group without a point after their opening 3-0 loss to LDU Quito. Meanwhile, Binacional, playing in their first ever Copa Libertadores campaign, have three points from a 2-1 win over Brazilian side, Sao Paulo. For River Plate, it has been a bit tough in the past few matches; they have no win in their last three games and no clean sheet as well.
I cannot fault the players for what they have given and we probably had two or three chances to win it, but we take the point and move on. Newcastle are playing with an air of confidence and you have seen that in the results. First half, they made it hard for us, but we grew into the game. We are disappointed, but we are not completely upset we have come away from here with a point because it's not a bad point.
Italy is the worst-hit country in Europe, with over 3,000 positive tests and 107 deaths. This week's Italian Cup semi-finals between Juventus and AC Milan and Napoli and Inter Milan had already been postponed, along with several Serie A games last weekend and the Women's Six Nations match between Italy and England.
Vitesse’s games this season average 3.33 goals while Feyenoord’s games average 3.47 goals, and that is why we are expecting at least three goals to be scored on Sunday. 73% of Vitesse’s games have produced over 2.5 goals as have 60% of Feyenoord’s games, while both teams scored in 60% of Vitesse’s matches and in 67% of Feyenoord’s matches, providing even more reasons to back both teams to score this weekend.
The home side huffed and puffed, but without intensity or conviction, and the tens of thousands of empty seats, well before the final whistle, showed just how comfortable Burnley were. They are now well set to secure another season the top flight; United, meanwhile, are in all sorts. TALKING POINT Is this it? It feel harsh to judge Solskjaer when he's without his best striker and his two best midfielders; when United's owners have denied him the money any manager would need to make the team competitive.
Brazil's fifth World Cup final win was not simply about Ronaldo's two second-half goals amid Yokohama's space-age architecture - it was a story of redemption. Ronaldo was one of the great players of his generation but the striker's career had been blighted by serious injury and the mystery surrounding his absence from the final at France 98. He was off, then on the teamsheet for that final, which ended in a 3-0 victory for France, with talk of a seizure then injury as conspiracy theories ran rampant in Paris.
This is what black players want. What they're saying is, 'we want a level playing field, because when we have a level playing field we can then be the best that we can be'. This is what they deserve. The reality is the data speaks for itself over the last 15, 20 years with regards to the disproportionate amount of [black] coaches in the game. Elliott said he was confident England's men's national team would one day have a black manager, without the person's ethnicity or gender being referenced.
Earlier this month, the association's executive lead Paul Cooke warned that the FAI could go into liquidation as it seeks a potential bailout. In addressing the current challenges facing the FAI, the executive team want to ensure that the organisation's core objective of the promotion and development of the game of football in Ireland is prioritised," said an FAI statement announcing Quinn's temporary appointment.
A deflected effort from Palace midfielder James McCarthy brought a smart reaction save out of Derby goalkeeper Kelle Roos shortly after half-time, while Bogle headed wide from a glorious position for Derby shortly after.
