Smith's contact with the ball provoked cries of 'handball' from the home supporters, who were then incandescent when the visitors charged the length of the field to score. The away fans' delight and the home support's anger were reversed as VAR stepped in, leaving the Cherries to bemoan not only their luck but also, when the dust settled, their own profligacy.
Brazil has withdrawn its bid to host the 2023 Women's World Cup. The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said the government did not consider it wise to offer financial guarantees in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. Brazil will now support Colombia's proposal, which is up against Japan and a joint bid from Australia and New Zealand to host the 32-team tournament. Fifa will vote to select the hosts on 25 June.
If the Latics continue their problems away from home, then this could be a turning point in the relegation fight. Luton have the chance to open up a healthy cushion over the third-bottom side, so this a key game ahead of a vital few weeks.
But could this two-month break disrupt their momentum?Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig and Borussia Monchengladbach are all within six points of the champions. Statisticians Gracenote give Bayern an 84% chance of winning the league, with Dortmund - who face rivals Schalke on Saturday - on 8% and Leipzig on 7%. Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann - one of the world's most promising young managers - hopes his side can use that break to their advantage and treat the final nine games like a standalone tournament.
Hvidovre earned a 1-1 draw in Köge after the restart and thus remained in 10th place with 3 points ahead of Naestved. Nyköbing played 2-2 at home against the last Naestved, but remained 5 games undefeated (2-3-0), and the team remained in 8th place with 26 points. The first leg ended even, so I expect it here too. Hvidovre is just in the red zone but with a win can free themselves of this space. Nyk is two places above Hvidovre with 4 points advantage. Therefore, both teams should go hard after the win, which raises the opportunity for goals at both ends. In the last round, Hvidovre played 1-1 against HB Køge while Nyk F played 2-2 against the bottom team Roskilde.
Given what we've seen from this pair in recent times, it's difficult to describe this as anything but a gilt-edged opportunity for the hosts. Punters can profit by siding with a home win. While Reading, who've kept a clean sheet in three of their last five at home, have been bettering solid Championship teams such as Fulham and Preston and both ends of the pitch, Blackpool have been struggling to get their heads in front in League 1. The visitors recent lack of goals is also big worry ahead of a match against an in-form team from the division above.
That would be a shame. Abraham has been struggling with this injury for the past four or five weeks but, bearing in mind this is his first season in the Premier League, I have been impressed by what I have seen from him. After Chelsea's draw with Leicester City at the start of February, I talked about him on Match of the Day, and said how his movement in the box could be better and how he should be more confident on his weaker left foot.
The 31-year-old has been linked with a move to Inter Milan, and jokingly approved an Instagram message suggesting he was waiting to be reunited with Jose Mourinho at Tottenham. Paper Round’s view: Matic did well in his first season at United but has since dropped off as the game sped up around him. He seems ready to move on and understandably would rather be playing regularly than sitting on the sidelines.
Phil Neville’s side are defending champions after winning the last edition of the tournament in 2019. However, they were beaten by the USA in dramatic fashion in the World Cup semi-finals after Steph Houghton missed a late penalty in a 2-1 defeat. England Women's head coach Neville said: "We are excited to take part in our fifth consecutive She Believes Cup as it is always such an exceptional competition hosting some of the best teams in the world.
In a weekend with four live Championship games, it’s odd that this clash has been left off the schedule. The meeting between West Brom and Brentford is set to be huge, especially with the visitors now into the top four in the Championship.
While it is true that Sheffield is doing an excellent job in this start of the season and are unbeaten in the last 5 games played by them in the league at this moment very good defensively at the same time they lack individual real quality players and rely on a really good organization on the pitch to get points while Manchester despite a poor start they have more magic in them and they should be the better team and prefer to bet on them at decent odds to be winning this game here as odds are better than normally.
West Brom manager Slaven Bilic told BBC WM 95. In the first half we were very dominant, we just lacked quality in the final third and I told the guys just raise the tempo and be patient. In the second half Preston improved and had their moments but the game changed in the final 20 minutes and we camped in their half of the pitch, and if any team deserved to win it was us. You can't imagine how big a result this is for us because Preston is a very difficult place to come and play.
With PSG having not a lot of problems creating goal-scoring opportunities, and their good away form in front of their home supporters, I can see this game, based on my analysis, being easy to predict. I looked at both teams forms and their recent Head-to-Head matchups when I was crafting my selection. This match can end in a home win, with both teams scoring.

I don't mean playing well and winning, I am talking about how you react when you have to battle a bit.

The Midlands side have now won 14 points from losing positions this season, more than any other team in the league. Eighty minutes 10 against 11 is so tough, so demanding. We could not defend the result," said Guardiola. We have to think of the next game and about winning our games. It's unrealistic to think about (catching Liverpool).
With football references dropped regularly into grime flows, the shirts have become a nod to the music itself. Tottenham fan AJ Tracey, who managed to name-check 13 footballers, ranging from Luis Figo to Josh Onomah in his track False 9, is Spurs' go-to man when a new shirt needs launching. When rapper Dave asked for a volunteer to join him on stage at Glastonbury earlier this year to help him perform hit Thiago Silva, 15-year-old Alex Mann fatefully grabbed his attention by flashing the Brazilian defender's Paris St-Germain name and number.

Despite that setback Olympiacos took the lead when a break down the right led to a tap-in for Youseff El Arabi just before the hour. Wolves drew level eight minutes later when a deflected Pedro Neto free kick trickled into the Olympiacos net. As things stand Wolves return to Molineux next week with a slight advantage due to their away goal, but there is understandable doubt about whether that fixture will be able to go ahead.
The hosts played till last season in the first league level of Vietnam but they ended up getting relegated, still right now they are one of the strongest teams in this second league level as their aim is clearly to win the league and get promoted back to the first league and they have started in a perfect manner winning first with 4-1 at home against Long And which is really not that a bad side while in their second game of the season in the league they also won with 1-0 on the road away at Can Tho.
The hosts are hoping to land another big home result, having just seen off Derby 3-0 here at the weekend. That victory got Mark Bowen’s side back to their best, ending a three-game winless run for the hosts. It took the Royals to five home wins for the season, four of which have come in Bowen’s first six home games as manager.

Slavia Mozyr is in good form. They remained unbeaten at home so far. They managed to win 4 of 4 games at the Stadyen Junatsva. Considering Minsk’s recent losing streak, I don't see Minsk possessing any real threat in this one. Minsk’s goalscoring agony are still continuing. They could not find the net in 6 of the last 10 away matches. Meanwhile Slavia managed 3 clean sheets in four home games in this season. 2 of the last 4 H2H games between them have ended level. Both sides have also made similar starts to this season, and it is quite hard to pick the winner.
The goal was initially disallowed for offside but after an agonising VAR wait the decision was overturned, sparking scenes of joy for the hosts and dejection for Everton.

Getafe and Krasnodar both have nine points from five matches, the Spanish side having recovered from back-to-back defeats by Basel with a 1-0 win at Trabzonspor on Matchday 5, whereas their Russian visitors have won all of their last three fixtures after losing the first two, most recently beating Basel 1-0 at home with a 72nd-minute penalty from striker Ari, who was later sent off.
It was in defence that the wheels really came off, however, with Lejeune playing a key and calamitous role in both of Leicester's first two goals. The injuries to his fellow defenders Willems and Manquillo gave Bruce one final role of the dice with his replacements, which he used at the break to usher Sean Longstaff into the game in place of Shelvey, who was also injured. When Schar then pulled a thigh muscle, he limped out the game and took any hope Newcastle had of getting back into the game with him.
For City, the relief at having gone through will be tempered with a little concern. They’ll be strong favourites against Villa in the final, of course. But with the title gone, it’s the Champions League that will save this season. And that’s going to involve negotiating two-legged ties against teams a lot better than United.
