His attitude to finishing never really changed: it was his job, he was good at it, and to go wild when he scored would be like a postman celebrating delivering the mail.

Reus rescued a point deep in added time to move Dortmund up to fifth on 20 points, five behind leaders Borussia Moenchengladbach, who travel to Union Berlin on Saturday when Bayern Munich, on 21, visit lowly Fortuna Duesseldorf.

As with all other Premier League matches, this fixture will take place behind closed doors, with no fans present.

One of the Kenyan children found was featured in Smalling's transfer video after he signed on loan from Manchester United. The defender added: "It was a really powerful moment for me, and an amazing thing for the family. Being a father now, not knowing where your child is is one of toughest things to have to deal with in life and I wouldn't want to wish that on anybody. Why did Roma announce signings alongside missing children? Roma have featured 132 missing children cases across 12 different countriesClubs can make a 'massive difference' Roma's chief strategy officer Paul Rogers said the initial campaign - which was inspired by the video for Soul Asylum's 1990s hit Runaway Train - had support from fans all over Europe.
Everton are very hot after Coach Ferguson took over, they beat FC Chelsea at home 3-1 goals from Richardson 5th Minutes, Calvert-Lewin 49 and 84 Minutes, the only goal from FC Chelsea came from Kovacic. I think they will go into this game against Manchester United with another hot blood that will witness another goals feast.
We just see Luton edging this game too and we think the Championship side will be in the draw for the fourth round. Bournemouth could do without the distraction of the cup in a season where their Premier League status is threatened whilst Luton could do with the confidence boost a win over a team in the division above would give them. With that in mind, we’re predicting Luton to come away from this game as 2-1 winners.
In a sign of the soccer tournaments bringing some change to Qatar, where the sale of alcohol is restricted to hotels, beer will be available at the official Doha Sports Park fan-zone, although not at the stadiums.

Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson lifted the Premier League trophy on the Kop at an empty Anfield to mark the club's first top-flight triumph for 30 years. Henderson received the trophy from Reds legend Sir Kenny Dalglish, who was manager when Liverpool last won it in 1990, during a spectacular ceremony after the champions beat Chelsea 5-3 on Wednesday. Liverpool were confirmed as champions of England on 25 June with seven games to spare when nearest rivals Manchester City lost at Chelsea, but they had to wait until their final home game of the season to be presented with the trophy.
If there's ever an example of a team doing well and with the desire, that's Liverpool. The first balls, second balls, running forward, tackling, defending, being aggressive; they [Liverpool] showed all those qualities. It's a great example for our team. We were off the pace. Maybe the Manchester City game took more out of them than I expected - our goalkeeper kept us in the game. For us to get anything, we would have had to perform really well and we didn't.
FH Hafnarfjordur after 10 games in the Iceland league this season won 13 points, temporarily ranked 7th in the rankings. Vikingur Reykjavik currently has 11 points, ranked at 10th place.

Not just players who suffer from rustiness Referee Antonio Mateu Lahoz is known as one of the more flamboyant officials in Spain and is renowned for not being shy of giving it back to players when they argue with him on the pitch, while he usually likes to let the game flow. However, after a short mid-season break, perhaps it is not only the players who might be feeling a little rusty and out of practise as the Valencian struggled to control Alaves' scrappy 1-1 draw with Betis on Sunday.

TALKING POINT Can Tottenham cope without Harry Kane? When the Spurs and England captain tore his hamstring on New Years’ Day it presented a worrying problem for club and country.

Progressive carries measures the number times a player brings the ball at least five metres upfield, and a number defenders - rather than traditional 'dribblers' - make this list as a result. Liverpool left-back Andrew Robertson leads the way and the presence of Reds right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold in the top 10 it suggests this is a tactic effectively employed by the league leaders. Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold are redefining the way full-backs play," former Reds striker Peter Crouch said on Match of the Day 2 earlier in November.

Not only are Sporting in a tough spot, they’ve got a few concerns head of this clash. The hosts have lost Luis Neto to injury, Yannick Bolasie to suspension and goalkeeper Renan Ribeiro remains a doubt.

City were 4-0 up at the time. Sobering return for Drinkwater It was a sobering return to action for Danny Drinkwater, who joined Villa on loan from Chelsea in midweek after a similar stint with Burnley came to an end. This was Drinkwater's fourth appearance since March 2018 and remarkably meant four of the last five games he had played were against City - for three different clubs - all of which have ended in defeat.

Ross Barkley was given another chance in an unchanged Chelsea line-up but he had a poor evening and was actually fortunate to even come out for the second half considering they were already all at sea and hanging on at half-time and Willian was on the bench.
