Ahead of the game, Mourinho had challenged Alli, who has often seemed out-of-sorts this season, to show his real self and the manager was rewarded with an outrageous piece of skill from his new charge in the lead-up to Spurs' second goal. The ball appeared out of play before Alli somehow scooped it down the line to Son Heung-min who set up Lucas Moura with a pinpoint cross.
An outstanding 2-0 defeat to Manchester City leaves them on -15 in the Premier League, just ahead of relegation rivals Aston Villa and Watford (both -16). Attacking from the outset, or at all, could have made things significantly worse. But it's pretty dire when the club you support accepts defeat and aims to keep the scoreboard respectable.

Liverpool require two wins to secure their first English top flight title in 30 years and former boss Kenny Dalglish said it would be a travesty if the season is cancelled. That wouldn't be fair and any person with football at heart would admit that would be totally out of order," Dalglish wrote in his column for The Sunday Post newspaper.
A week after Manchester City learned their two-year European ban had been overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas), tensions are still running high. Some senior figures within the game are annoyed City have not been punished for Financial Fair Play regulation breaches, while the club are angry at the behaviour of some of their rivals. Last week, Guardiola demanded an apology and told rival clubs to stop "whispering" about City behind their backs.
Well this is very important match for both sides so I don't think that the will just force anything for sure. Both teams have the same amount of points but Cherno More is holding that 6th place that leads to the playoffs so the pressure will be on Before side but still and a draw wouldn't be so bad as there is one more round until the end. All in all I expect difficult and though match where maybe one goal will decide the winner. Also H2H is on our side. At the last 5 matches all of the finished with under 2.5 goals easily.
This game will be quite frustrating for the home side since the away side has suffered a couple of defeats in its previous games hence, it will do its best to win this game at all costs. The home side being at the bottom of the table will be quite challenging in this match since they will also like to move up the league table hence, it will not make things easy for the away side. On this note, the away side will either win with a goal or two in this match. This will be their next winning games after lose and draws played previously.
Thistle's situation is compounded by the uncertainty over whether League One clubs will be able to play next season. The Premiership aims to begin behind closed doors on 1 August, and Championship clubs have been balloted on an October start, but the bottom tiers have no date in place. Low says they will be the "hardest hit" of Scotland's clubs. We stand ready, willing and able to play, including behind closed doors.
I saw a mature player," said Corini when asked about Balotelli's performance. Sometimes he drops off a bit but I want him connected for the whole game. If he learns to play collectively, he'll have even more fun. Balotelli was asked about a possible Italy recall for Euro 2020. Everyone wants to play in the European championship but for me the important thing is to save Brescia.
Take the ball and pass' - keeping it simple pays dividendsThe discipline he developed from being coached by Ugbade meant he treated every game equally - competitive or friendly - and his big chance to impress the wider world came in a tournament in Nigeria, where international scouts were watching. There were about 40 teams that came for the tournament," says Ndidi. I got the ball and made a run, a one-two run into the middle.
WADA confirmed: "Periods of ineligibility imposed under the World Anti-Doping Code are for specific lengths of time and include all competitions which take place during that period.

The aim is to ensure it does not vanish. Goalkeeper Rui Patricio is one of several Wolves players with connections to agent Jorge MendesAs they prepare to face Espanyol, it is hard not to regard Wolves as an unqualified success story. They win more than they lose, their stadium is full - with 10,000 on a waiting list for season tickets - the atmosphere is usually fabulous and their manager is charismatic, if not exactly media friendly.
Jack is looking at us and we are looking at Jack. Rodwell's move to Blackburn came after the cancellation of his £43,000-a-week contract by Sunderland following their relegation to League One in June 2018. He had joined Sunderland for £10m in August 2014 from Manchester City. It's not a trial. Jack is in for a few days. We know about Jack. He's without a club at the moment," added Wilder. He is obviously a talent because of the teams he's played for and he's looking for a home and it's something that might develop along the way.
In fact, no league campaign in English history is comparable to Liverpool's current one.

We think both teams to score is the best option, while we’re going for back to back 2-2 draws for Charlton. The Rs have seen exactly four goals in 55% of their home matches this season, while they’ve drawn three of five home clashes with sides below them. The Rs have scored at least twice in four of those five, so we’re backing a sixth 2-2 draw of the season for Charlton.
A second-half Rangers blitz subdued Hamilton Academical and booked the Glasgow side's place in the Scottish Cup last eight. Scott Arfield netted the first goal, from a penalty rebound, and the last, a stunning late long-range raker. Lewis Smith had hauled the Scottish Premiership hosts level, but Joe Aribo and Alfredo Morelos made the tie safe. The quarter-final draw takes place on Sunday after the last tie of the weekend between Clyde and Celtic.

He wanted to see me first and was disappointed. The talks went really well, were positive and I was impressed with what he said. I had to make a decision and at one point I was going to Manchester United, I was 90% certain. Then I got a call from Keegan, who wanted to see me again, and I thought 'I am going to go back to Newcastle'. It was a club I always supported. Do I have any regrets? No, I would do the same again.
Fulham has 57 points at this moment and wants to get on 3rd place with a win today and to get closer to the top 2 clubs Leeds and West Brom who seem to once more getting a bit of distance between them and the rest of the pack in the league, while Fulham has just 2 draws and one 3-0 loss at home to modest Barnsley in their last 3 Championship games, but still they won 2-1 away from home at Swansea but I do not trust their defense here and really not so sure they will win.
Brazilian coaches, however, have chafed at the pundits’ fawning attention. His methods, and their evident success, have nevertheless prompted a long-overdue conversation about globalisation in the insular world of Brazilian football. What he brought in terms of intensity and aggression is different," said Leonardo, the former Flamengo player who is Sporting Director at Paris St Germain.
Olympia surprised with the elimination of the Seattle Sounders in the previous round but they scored the important 2-2 in Seattle only in the 86th minute. And it was only the second time in the last 8 away games in the CONCACAF Champions League that they avoided a defeat.

Liverpool are in Qatar for the Club World Cup, leaving fantasy football managers with some selection decisions to make this weekend. We're here to help you through all the tough calls before gameweek 18. Fantasy 606 podcastRed alertAny fantasy football player worth their salt with have at least one Liverpool player in their side.

Brescia are better than their league position suggests and we wouldn't be surprised to see them giving Inter a scare. Ultimately, we see the home side overcoming their challenge and getting the win. Back Inter and over 2.5 goals.
Maurizio Sarri rested forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who has scored in 10 consecutive Serie A matches, and his gamble paid off as Juve eased to a win that moved them up to 57 points. However, Inter Milan will push Juve into second place on goal difference if they beat third-placed Lazio later on Sunday. Sarri came in for criticism after a shock 2-1 defeat by Hellas Verona last weekend saw his side lose the Serie A lead to Inter, but they were rarely tested by relegation-battling Brescia at the Allianz Stadium.
And yet, with a run of 10 games unbeaten and the addition of an operator who looks a genuine class act in Bruno Fernandes from Sporting Lisbon, Solskjaer now at least has the opportunity to clear away some of the doubts come season's end. United have a favourable draw against Austrians LASK in the last 16 of the Europa League, travel to Premier League strugglers Norwich City in the FA Cup quarter-final and now stand only three points behind fourth-placed Chelsea in the Premier League and five behind Leicester City in third.
England. European Club Association chairman Andrea Agnelli "The focus now will be to come up with solutions to conclude the 2019-20 club season in the most practical manner and, beyond that, ensure football, like society as a whole, returns as quickly as possible to its natural form and rhythm," Agnelli said in a statement.
We have absolutely no plans to lose anyone in January," Rodgers told reporters. Our job is to keep what we have. If there's an opportunity to improve the squad we will look to do that. If not, we will carry on with the squad we have, which is very strong. British media have linked 22-year-old midfielder James Maddison to United since his breakthrough campaign last season and his stock has risen since he was called up by England manager Gareth Southgate during the recent international break.
Tottenham have not done that. The team that sat 14th in the league in November are manifestly worse than the team that finished second in 2016-17. That summer, Spurs lost a wantaway Kyle Walker and failed to replace him. Serge Aurier does not count. In the 2017-18 season Tottenham finished third – two points ahead of Liverpool – and signed no one.
The hosts have also seen two-thirds of their home wins come against the same strugglers. Against the rest of the league, their record isn’t that great. They’ve otherwise won two of eight home matches, conceding nine times. We expect them to struggle against this Hull side on Wednesday, with the Tigers looking strong on the road.
It was unanimous everyone wanted to do this. It's important in these hard times that no one suffers from any financial hardship. I think it's important you show respect to all the people at the club whatever your role is, and I think we have shown real good togetherness by doing this. Rangers said some of their employees would be furloughed due to "extraordinary challenges" from the crisis but would continue to receive their full salary through "top up" assistance from the club.
It's a really big move, it's my first move to another country and I'm really looking forward to it," Leupolz said in a statement. I believe in what Chelsea are doing as a club and I'm excited to be a part of that. They want to win titles, and so do I. I also like the style of football they play, I've seen a lot of their matches and I think it's the right club for me.
The padre was from Cork originally. Loved his God, his football and his horses - probably, but not definitely, in that order. See when I was 10, he was the priest in Dumbarton where I'm from and he'd say to me, 'You'll play at the top level one day'. And I couldn't get a game in the school team at the time. He was a really good man. A big supporter of mine. So I went to see him. Sean sat in the car and I rang the doorbell.
It obviously does not faze him. There has been talk of player discontent but I don't think Pochettino lost the dressing room. He took a couple of steps back from certain situations because in some cases he could not punish or replace players as there was nobody to replace them with. Tottenham appoint Mourinho after sacking Pochettino - reactionHow Pochettino's Spurs reign unravelled - in numbersAn 'extraordinary' sacking - but the right decision? Chairman Daniel Levy appointed Mauricio Pochettino as Tottenham manager in May 2014But the same faces and the same voices do create erosion after a while.

League match where Burgos will face Valladolid B. El Burgos is a team that usually scores and concedes. It is a strong team at home when when they face Valladolid B.

Both teams are having mixed results. Draw is expected.
He makes the point that on the pitch and off the pitch he's a completely different person. He was a decent footballer but that has not been enough to detract from the other part of his career. The headlines always scream 'the world's dirtiest player',"It was a forgivable preconception. Known as 'The General' and 'The Beast', Bedoya accumulated 45 red cards during a 20-year playing career - which ended in 2015 - with a further two dismissals arriving from the dugout since.

On paper, Tijuana have the quality to be a real force but although they are entertaining to watch, their defensive issues are certainly holding them back. Indeed, Tijuana's last 13 Liga MX matches have featured an average of 3.76 goals a game but it's not just them that have been doing the scoring in said fixtures, having kept just 2 clean sheets over said run.
He drills a flat cross to the back post, where Moura is waiting, unmarked, to nod the ball back across goal and into the far corner. BIG CHANCE! Vertonghen makes an absolute mess of controlling a crossfield pass, and coughs it up to Gestede on the edge of the area. He back-heels the ball to Fletcher, who can only hit a team shot straight at Gazzaniga from the edge of the area.
In October, a study commissioned by the Football Association and the Professional Footballers' Association found that former footballers are approximately three and a half times more likely to die from neurodegenerative disease than the general population.

I prefer him there. That's why he plays. City's central defence appears to be a clear area of weakness - they failed to buy a replacement for skipper Vincent Kompany in the summer, lost Aymeric Laporte to injury and have opted not to play Nicolas Otamendi and John Stones together in any game since September. It will not prompt Guardiola to strengthen his squad in the transfer window, though. Instead he intends to stick with 34-year-old Fernandinho as his first-choice centre-half.

They've managed to find the net seven times, only being restricted to not scoring in their last game against Wolves, but have at the same time failed to keep a clean sheet so far. They'll need to be more ruthless in defence in their final two games to stand a chance of reaching the final 32 but the lack of form of Besiktas will be a big boost to them.
Their record of just three clean sheets in 16 Premier League matches highlights where Villa's problems lie however, and the team's backline has looked particularly fragile on the road where they have yet to keep their hosts of the scoresheet.
