MAN OF THE MATCH Alexandre Lacazatte. While his team-mates were made to look distinctly ordinary by a talented Leeds side, Lacazette kept plugging away, even if he was well marshalled by Ben White. All that was good about Arsenal’s play in the second half came through the Frenchman, who played a key role in the winner.

The Turin side have been regulars in this competition for years after their eight straight league titles. However, recent years have been a mixed bag for them. The champions don’t always have their usual intensity for this clash, having lost three of the last five Super Cups.

But, so far at least, home teams are the ones suffering in the Bundesliga. Weird celebrations Erling Braut Haaland celebrates scoring the opening goal in Borussia Dortmund's 4-0 win over SchalkeSome things were exactly the same as Dortmund and Schalke took centre stage in the early kick-off on 16 May - Erling Braut Haaland scoring, for example. His goal in the 29th minute set Dortmund on their way to a comfortable 4-0 victory in front of an empty Westfalenstadion.
Di Maria cut back inside the area and beat Anthony Lopes with a low shot at the near post to put the hosts ahead in the 22nd minute. Mbappe made it 2-0 seven minutes before halftime by flicking the ball past Lopes from Thomas Meunier's cross. It was a harsh reality check for Lyon, who had started the match with 16-year-old Rayan Cherki livening up proceedings on the right flank.
Both teams enter this game on a poor run. Neman Grodno have two points from their last three games and Energetik have lost their last two. Goals have been on short supply of late for both sides with Energetik failing to score in the last two. Go for under 2.5 goals to be scored in this match.
In my opinion these odds are really interesting to bet on an Over here: both teams have scored twice in the last round, when they have both collected the first win of their season, so scoring more than once seems to be likely for both of them this time too. The last time these teams have met here, Soligorsk has even been able to score a sum of 6 goals and they had scored 3 times in the previous match vs Neman Grodno too. In my opinion this will be a quite spectacular match with both teams scoring, so an Over is likely.
But Norwich hit back when Ryan Sessegnon brought down Max Aarons inside the box and Teemu Pukki fired the spot-kick beyond Hugo Lloris, who made his return after three months out with a dislocated shoulder. Buoyed by that goal, the Canaries took the game to their opponents as they looked to snatch what would have been an unexpected but priceless win in their battle against the drop. Todd Cantwell's cross was cut out with Pukki lurking unmarked inside the box before Cantwell lashed well over from the edge of the box.
Mallorca should probably be commended for managing to score twice as they could easily have suffered a real hiding, but there's little to recommend Los Bermellones this weekend based on their travelling problems and the fact they have now lost four of their last five La Liga games.
Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho is set to rest some of his players for Spurs' final Champions League group match, away at Bayern Munich on Wednesday. Last season's beaten finalists Spurs are second in Group B and have already secured their place in the last 16, behind group winners Bayern. Mourinho has already said he will rest top goalscorer Harry Kane. I can say that Harry Kane will not play, but who will play, I need to think," said Mourinho.
No teenager has ever scored more goals in a single season in all competitions for United than Greenwood (17 - level with George Best in 1965-66, Brian Kidd in 1967-68 and Rooney in 2004-05). West Ham's Antonio has scored eight goals in the Premier League since the restart, the joint-most of any player alongside Raheem Sterling. He now has 10 Premier League goals this season - his best tally in a single campaign in the competition.

It's unfortunate for him with the cancellation of the matches but he leaves a legacy and is revered in Ireland. There have also been contributions over the last few years from Robbie Keane, Terry Connor and all of the staff. Kenny has brought former Republic internationals Damien Duff, Keith Andrews and Alan Kelly on to his coaching staff, with Jim Crawford succeeding him as Under-21 manager. Kenny's first match in charge will be the Republic's European Championships play-off semi-final against Slovakia.
He was picked up by the Bavarian giants a year later and is now one their most important players as they sit top of the Bundesliga and look set to progress to the quarter-finals in Europe's top club competition. After a promising start to his Arsenal career in his first professional season, Gnabry struggled to develop and establish himself in England as he was sent out to West Brom for a disappointing loan spell before eventually moving abroad.
Fellow academy products Williams and Greenwood both enhanced their reputations, the left-back making marauding runs up and down pitch and winning the penalty, contributing five interceptions, while striker Greenwood came off the bench to take his tally to nine for the campaign. United fans protestWith the game won despite more than half an hour remaining, United fans in the Stretford End turned to protest at how the club is being run.
The home side have five games unbeaten at the moment, they have came with three points from their last home game when they have hosted Kayanza so I am backing them to extend their good run of winning streak so I give them a straight win against their rival and they likely to use their home ground advantage. The visitors have lost their last game after three consecutive draws they have obtained from their previous matches and lets us not forget that the hosts collected entire points from their last game of head to head to Bumamuru by scoring one goal so I think they collect another three points here.
If he has that need, then of course I will be available," Wenger said. Freddie is fantastic and committed and will want to do this job for a long time. He has an opportunity and what you want in life is that opportunity. Let's get him to work with his ideas and support him. The 70-year-old Frenchman, who left Arsenal in 2018 after 22 years as manager, declined to comment on his successor Emery's dismissal but said his "heart is with the club and I want them to do well".

All of Atleti's away games this term have produced fewer than 2.5 goals, which has been the outcome in the last six meetings between the sides. Indeed, only six goals have been netted in the last half dozen contests between the pair, so we think under 2.5 goals is a cracking bet this Sunday.
GOAL! Atalanta 2-0 Valencia (Ilicic scores) - What a fabulous strike! We questioned the exclusion of Duvan Zapata, but why bother when Josip Illicic can do something like that? The ball was fizzed into the Slovenian, but he's strong, holds off Soler, gets it out of his feet, and unleashes a rocket past Domenech, who could well have done better.
I know they all prefer the PlayStation though and I just don't go there because I get beat. I stick where it is simple and easy on the Switch.

Depor Saprissa meets Herediano at home for a very classic Costa Rican venue. The 1st against the 3 Rd place, normally this two deliver very steady results at Saprissa's, incredibly 3 goals results, Normally favoring the home team 2 x 1. I don't see this time around being much different and actually I can see a 1 x 0 result this time around. Saprissa is stronger when at home. Both come from negative results, Saprissa draw away against the weaker Zeledon 1 x 1 and Herediano comes from a very poor result at home against Limon by 0 x 1

The stadium is owned by the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC). Should West Ham go down, the immediate impact would be a reduction in the club's rent by 50% to around £1. Because of the terms agreed for use of London Stadium and the minimum £4m cost of converting it temporarily for an athletics meeting, the loss of planned summer baseball, athletics and music events would actually have little financial impact for West Ham's landlords to absorb.
Barrow will host Wrexham for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts are big favorites against this opponent and I expect they to dominate from the start match. Barrow is one of the best teams in this campaign. Hosts have a great attack. True, in last game Barrow lost 0-2 against ambitious Notts County. On the other hand Wrexham is very average team in this league. However, the visitors have a poor results in this campaign. In any case, they were weaker team in the last matches and for me they could lose. My pick - Barrow to win.
One player and two staff members at Watford and Burnley assistant manager Ian Woan are among six positive Premier League tests for coronavirus revealed on Tuesday.

Ahal is the leader in the league, and lost only to this rival, few days ago. However, they have won recent match at this ground, and there is not reason for them to pull out for at least draw against the Champion.

Solskjaer needed this result and deservedly celebrated at the final whistle. We are three points behind Chelsea now and that was a massive win," he said. We could not have realistically clawed back nine points. This gives us a chance [of qualifying for the Champions League]. As for Chelsea, manager Frank Lampard is facing the toughest test of a managerial reign still in its infancy. Lampard said the result was 'typical' of Chelsea's home games this season when up against a team playing five at the backChelsea's spark, for now, has gone and for all their pretty patterns they are very much a blunt instrument in front of goal.
"Real" shows more and more signs of a definitive recovery. "Creamy" with Zinedine Zidane won the first title after the Frenchman returned, led the standings and even at times began to win big. "Real" have already rehabilitated for their defeat in the Cup by defeating "Osasuna". However, they made "creamy" on the road, and now Zidane's team will return to the Santiago Bernabeu. The Royal Club has practically all the players healthy, as well as restores confidence. In general, "Celta" can only sympathize. Outsider examples are unlikely to stand up to a losing leader. My pick - Real Madrid to win.

The appointment of Steve Bruce to replace Rafael Benitez last summer was not universally well received by the club's fans, but the 59-year-old has kept them away from the relegation zone and they are only two points short of matching last season's tally. But Bruce extended his wretched record as manager against City. He has never beaten them, losing nine out of 12 matches. They had several first-choice players missing, including Allan Saint-Maximin, Miguel Almiron and Jamaal Lascelles, and conceding two early goals did not help their cause.
