I know that it was certainly a mistake not to inform the club about my trip, but in the moment I only had my son in mind,” Boateng told German newspaper Bild. He was not in good health. When a son calls his father, of course I will still go, no matter what time. For him I accept any punishment; after all, he is my son. I want to see the father who does not go in such a moment to be with his four-year-old son.
We gave them too much respect. Our season is not going to be defined by defeats by Man City and Liverpool. You have to learn from this. We have to ask why weren't we competitive and why we gave them too much respect. Goals, goals, goals - the statsSince the start of the 2016-17 season, Manchester City have scored 343 Premier League goals - 42 more than any other team. This was Pep Guardiola's 300th top-flight league win as a manager - he has reached that tally in just 390 games with Barcelona, Bayern Munich and City.
Scunthorpe are looking to return to winning ways this weekend after they lost 3-1 at home in the league to Plymouth last time out, while Newport will be hoping to take the moment from their 3-0 EFL Trophy victory over MK Dons into Saturday’s clash. The hosts edge the form guide with two wins and a draw from their last six matches, as Newport have only managed to win once during that same period.
But Pascal Gross and Glenn Murray both scored to ensure the Seagulls took a share of the spoils, with the hosts dropping into the bottom three. Report: Watford 2-3 EvertonReport: West Ham 3-3 BrightonSheffield United moved up to fifth in the Premier League with a 1-0 win at Crystal Palace. A remarkable own goal by Eagles goalkeeper Vicente Guaita gifted the Blades all three points. Meanwhile Newcastle and Norwich played out a goalless draw which leaves the Canaries seven points from safety at the bottom of the table.
Last season's Champions League semi-finalists Ajax are out of the Europa League after being beaten 3-2 on aggregate by Getafe over two legs. Ajax, who were 2-0 down from the first game, went behind early on as Jaime Mata opened the scoring for Getafe. Danilo quickly levelled for Ajax, before Mathias Olivera scored an own goal for the Spanish side in the second half to put Ajax 2-1 up. But Erik ten Hag's men, top of the Dutch Eredivisie by three points, could not find a way past the resilient Getafe, despite enjoying 70% of possession.
Chukwueze was a thorn in Atletico Madrid’s side throughout. Indeed, the majority of the home side’s attacking play came through the young Nigerian. He turned in the most complete performance of any performance on the pitch. PLAYER RATINGS Villarreal - Asenjo 7, Gaspar 6, Albiol 6, Pau 6, Quintilla 5, Iborra 5, Anguissa 7, Trigueros 6, Chukwueze 8, Gomez 6, Gerard 6.
A major problem for the hosts is their recent poor form in front of goal. They kicked off with their attacking approach paying off, but things are looking bleak after five goals in six games. To make things worse, their problems at the back continue. QPR haven't kept a clean sheet in any of their last 23 league games – they last had a longer run without a shutout in a club-record run of 40 between May 1968 and April 1969.
Unless there is a swift reversal of fortunes, their four-year run of top-four finishes will come to an end this season. Dier in the spotlight Dier made a crucial block to deny Matej Vydra in the second halfPredictably, Eric Dier strode into Turf Moor without a word, which was a wise choice given he still has the possibility of an FA charge hanging over him following his confrontation in the stands after Tottenham's FA Cup defeat by Norwich on Wednesday.
As well as Manchester United, he played for Scotland against England, and for a Rest of the World select, scoring their goal in a 2-1 defeat. He later described that selection as "the greatest honour of my career". He would go on to add two league titles to that cup win, as well as two successes in the Charity Shield. Hitting the net 237 times in 404 appearances, only Bobby Charlton and Wayne Rooney have scored more United goals.
For Newcastle, the dream of reaching an FA Cup semi-final at Wembley for the first time since 2000 was beyond them, but they can now concentrate on trying to fulfil Bruce's aim of breaking into the Premier League's top 10. City keep their cool after tough weekCity may have lost their Premier League crown this week as Liverpool ended their 30-year wait for a top-flight title, but there is still plenty for Guardiola's team to achieve this season.
After that loan spell at Liverpool, she has been constantly scoring goals and getting in the right positions. She looks athletic, confident and calm. I feel like she has been transformed. She was probably not quite ready to play for Chelsea before she went out on loan. But now England scores all types of goals. I was at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea's first game of the season and she scored that screamer against Tottenham and she is one of those players where she has improved so much on both feet, that you can't tell which is her preferred shooting foot now.

A little later he sent the same message out to his players, who were wasteful in possession. You couldn't say Rangers had their rivals under the cosh in those opening minutes, but they had the best of it. Then, as happens so often in this game, things turned sharply. Having posed little threat, Celtic won a penalty when Katic was done for grabbing a fistful of Jullien's shirt. Christie stepped up, thumped his effort to McGregor's left, but the goalkeeper saved magnificently.
But the problem is that, through that cup, you finance a lot of clubs that are quite disadvantaged," Ceferin added. So I understand the problem. The English are also quite traditionalist, you like things that have been there for ages. Manchester City won the League Cup for the third consecutive season last weekend after beating Aston Villa 2-1 at Wembley.
Getafe dropped to 7th in the table following consecutive defeats against Villarreal (1-0) and Real Madrid (0-3). However, Pepe Bordalas' side lost just one of their previous ten La Liga matches, winning seven.
Eintracht Frankfurt reached the semi-finals of the Europa League last season. They are in the bottom half of the Bundesliga this season but are through to the knock-out stages this season. They resume that competition later this month and are running into good form. Frankfurt have seven points from their last three games and recently beat Leipzig 2-0 at home. Leipzig were four points clear at the top of the league but have slipped in the past few weeks and are now second. Their away form isn't great and the tip here is for a home win.
It is easy to point out that the sum is little to professional footballers, but it is an unimpeachably nice gesture. Read the full story Spurs stadium surroundings under threat The Telegraph writes that Tottenham Hotspur’s stadium might seem a little lonely when football eventually restarts. The Number 8 pub and a host of other local businesses are suffering with the lack of football after games were called off, and since many shops have now been ordered to stay shut in the face of the fight against coronavirus - they may be out of business for good when the season is finally completed.
The home side have just two points from their six league games since being promoted last season. They lost their first three games before a couple of draws. Last weekend saw them away at league leaders FC Slutsk and went 2-0 down in the first half. Belshina fought back to get level but conceded a goal with two minutes and lost their fourth game of the new season.

West Ham United lost their form completely and so is Tottenham Hotspur. Just 1 draw in the last 5 league matches with 4 games lost. With 13 points from 12 matches, scoring 14 goals against 20. Doing everything possible to not to fall into relegation zone is the main aim of the host, with this game at hand, isn't going to be easy as the visitors got Mourinho in their hand coming to this game, the new coach who know English league well will try to start his game with Tottenham with a win, they are not in the best form either upon the bundle of stars in the team, but I think with this game all will change.
It's been far from a spectacular campaign for the Shrews, but they continue to go quietly about their business. Sam Rickett's men have won each of their last two, defeating two play-off chasers, while they've now lost just one of their last five and only two of their last ten.
In an unlikely turn of events, relegation candidates Norwich City ended Leicester City's nine-match Premier League winning streak last weekend, when they held the high-flying Foxes to a 1-1 draw at the King Power Stadium.
Things haven't exactly gone well at home, where Birmingham are without a win in three, two of which they've lost. It's not that teams go to St. Andrew's and run riot, but Saturday's hosts struggle to seriously outplay teams, especially in terms of goals. They've conceded a very respectable nine in ten games, though they've only scored 11. Therein lies the problem. Mediocrity is all they'll achieve if they're producing mediocre numbers.

Celebrations. There is no need to rip the fun out of football by punishing exuberant celebrations But for the rest? Bad fouls, simulation, dissent. Sure, referees may not feel empowered to give every decision, but it would ultimately make football a more exciting game to watch. We could bask in fewer stoppages, more attacks and 'powerplays' of 11 v 10 – or occasionally 10 v 10 or 11 v 9.
But we need to focus on our own path. We have an important run of games ahead of us. Inter made a big January signing of their own when they brought in playmaker Christian Eriksen from Tottenham Hotspur in a deal reportedly worth 20 million euros ($21. The Denmark international made his first start in Sunday’s 2-0 win at Udinese and looks set to be in the lineup again in the 'Derby della Madonnina' despite Conte’s admission that the midfielder needed time to adjust to his new surroundings.

At Newcastle United and Tottenham, players taking home every penny of their pay while non-playing staff, some of whom will be on or near minimum wage, having to be furloughed on 80% of their wage seems morally unconscionable. In that dynamic, the players look like the greedy caricatures the media makes them out to be.

Assisted by Noussair Mazraoui with a cross. Posted at 56' Foul by Nicolás Tagliafico (Ajax). Arsenal recorded the biggest victory in Women's Super League history with an amazing 11-1 thrashing of Bristol City. The result, which took Arsenal top, passes the previous biggest WSL score of 9-0 when Liverpool beat Doncaster Belles in the top flight in 2013. Netherlands striker Vivianne Miedema scored six and made a further four in a remarkable individual performance.

Very tough season for Everton so far and as a result of the poor results, the team decided to sack their manager Marco Silva. Everton is currently in relegation zone with just 14 points after 4 wins, 2 draws and 9 defeats. Chelsea had the good news that they will be able to sign new players in January after the ban was lifted but the team has done some good results this season and we expect another good performance on this match. For that reason, we will take Chelsea to cover the -0.5 Asian Handicap as the best line here.
As a team Palace have the sixth best defensive record in the Premier League, rare heights for a team that can often be porous at the back depending on who is in the dugout, Guaita has had a huge impact on that which explain the previous goals conceded per 90 stat. You might question De Gea’s presence on the list given his indifferent form but his failing is the number of goals conceded considered next to relatively few number of shots on target faced.

The Spaniard scored the third of United's goal from a fine set-up by Fred as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team all but wrapped up a place in the tournament's last eight, but it was the eerily silent stadium that was the game's main feature. UEFA set to delay Euro 2020 until 2021 - report Man City v Real Madrid and Juventus v Lyon ties postponed as coronavirus causes chaos "I don’t remember playing behind-closed-doors," said Mata.
Given the quality of the people we are speaking to I would feel quite proud [if a sale was completed],” he said. This is a club two years ago no-one wanted for love nor money. Series Three? ‘Never say never’Methven said time will tell whether it was the right decision for the club to agree to a second series, but they had already seen evidence of Sunderland’s global appeal growing after series one.

Grecia will host Santos de Guapiles for this fixture of the league. I think, this will be a very tense match. Both teams are one of the outsiders in this league. Both teams are currently bottom of the table. No doubt, both sides want to get a positive result. Of course, this will not be an easy task. Grecia have advantage at home stadium. However, the hosts are in poor shape. They earned only 1 point in their last 5 matches. Also, we have Santos who's is who's is also vulnerable team. They have four consecutive losses. In any case, both teams will try to be much more serious in this game. My pick - Santos to win.
