One of the finest moments in the Cottagers' history came at this ground in April 2008 when, 2-0 down at the break and mathematically relegated, they fought back to win 3-2 - and went on to survive. Though the scoreline was the same at the interval this time, there was never a chance of such a recovery here. Manager Scott Parker, who was without top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic and opted to start with captain Tom Cairney on the bench, wanted his team to play with "big courage and big heart" but the early setback wrecked that plan.
Sean Dyche's team have been equally poor on the road and showed limited ambition to contain their hosts for most of the 90 minutes. However, in Wood and Barnes they have strikers on top form to make the difference in tight games, and this win pushes them up to sixth in a congested Premier League table.
I was really lucky to have Rachel, because the amount of text messages she got from me. Bless her cotton socks, she was like my little mentor," Fishlock said. I could ask: 'I'm feeling this, is this normal?' She's like: 'Yeah. So I was lucky because I had a couple of people. Kimmy Little from Scotland is another one, who had just gone through it. That really helped me get through it. I was lucky with that.
They doubled the lead through another substitute, Portuguese winger Neto delivering a sumptuous finish after Traore set up Doherty to deliver a fine cross. Wolves are now unbeaten in their past six league games and now have nine top-flight clean sheets, including five in the past six games. Nearly a year after it began, they are ending the season strongly and with a top-four finish very much within their sight, with Wolves just two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea, who they visit on the final day of the league season on 26 July.
The English situation is different from a lot of the rest of the world and I would be astonished if it remained as it was next season," he said, acknowledging that it was difficult for a league to change operation mid-season. You should expect there will be some changes next year. The vast majority of competitions believe that the vast majority of subjective decisions should have an onfield review," he said.
Striker Faal has struck 24 times for seventh-tier Enfield Town, attracting the attention of Premier League clubs. If he does get a move, Faal might find himself playing against Liverpool defender Joe Gomez - his second cousin. ScotlandSCOTT SINCLAIR (30, winger, Celtic)Linked with: DerbyThe English attacker has fallen out of favour since Neil Lennon's return to the Glasgow club despite three stellar seasons that have yielded multiple trophies and 40 goals in 103 games.

Now, West Ham are hardly the best of sides at the moment, but their win over Chelsea last weekend will have injected some much needed belief into the squad. At home they have only lost three of their last six league games, and given Arsenal’s torrid form at the moment we really like the look of a West Ham Win or Draw Double Chance.
Silva and Stones picked up knocks in City's 2-1 win over Manchester United on Dec. Aguero, who has scored 13 goals in 16 appearances in all competitions this season, has not played since Nov. Aguero and Stones had training sessions. Silva, no," Guardiola told a news conference. Leicester are second, four points above third-placed City, and Guardiola said he was not surprised to see the Foxes doing so well.
Chelsea sliced open City's defence in the 22nd minute with Mateo Kovacic superbly picking out N'Golo Kante's forward burst and the French midfielder held off compatriot Benjamin Mendy before smartly slipping the ball past the advancing Ederson. But six minutes later Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne brought the champions level when the ball fell to him on the edge of the box and he cleverly wrongfooted the Chelsea defence before unleashing a low drive which took two deflections before rattling past wrongfooted Chelsea keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga.
The matter of transfer windows was discussed in Wednesday's EFL board meeting, with the organisation in talks with the Football Association and the Premier League. World governing body Fifa, which would make the final decision, has previously agreed to be "flexible and allow the relevant transfer windows to be moved, so they fall between the end of the old season and the start of the new season". But there are now calls from some EFL clubs, including League One Portsmouth, for the window to stay open until at least the end of January 2021.
Eventually my stubbornness would get me there. We have worked very hard especially over the last two years to make this happen and create something special and this weekend will be our reward. For anyone thinking Beckham would be an absentee owner leaving the heavy-lifting to co-owner Jorge Mas, the 44-year-old made it clear that was not the case.
“Mattress” is now in decline, in addition to the fact that wards Diego Simeone lost four games, having managed to score points only in the home game against outsider Leganes, playing in a goalless draw, they also looked terribly ahead, scoring just one goal in five games. Here it is also necessary to take into account that two of these matches were 120-minute: with Real in the Super Cup, and in the Spanish Cup with the Cultural Leonesa. Therefore, it becomes obvious that Atletico is experiencing serious problems with the implementation, and the creation of scoring chances. But Granada, on the contrary, looked good in the last five matches, having won four with one defeat. It should also be noted that the Nasrid were quite aggressive ahead, scoring ten goals, and missing seven in these five games. Of course, with such a defense as Atletico, it will be hard for them to count on scoring a lot, but even playing with errors in defense, given the current state of the “mattress”, Granada is quite able to leave the capital of Spain with any points.
Champion League debutants Atalanta reached the knockout stages with victory at Shakhtar Donetsk after recovering from losing their first three games. The Serie A side only had one point after four games - including a 4-0 and 5-1 defeat - but wins over Dinamo Zagreb and Shakhtar have taken them through behind Manchester City. Timothy Castagne, Mario Pasalic and Robin Gosens scored in the second half, as Shakhtar ended with 10 men following Dodo's red card for violent conduct.
Fenway also owns the Boston Red Sox Major League Baseball team.

We were relentless in the second half and once we got the goal we made sure we didn't sit back and instead we set out to kill the game off and that's what we did. When results don't go your way you feel in debt to the fans and we needed a day like this. We wanted to win and now we want to make it count by winning the title.
However, even his partnership with Richarlison has impressed us perhaps less than this potential partnership with a British comedy legend.

With the competition being played outside the windows set aside for international competition, none of the nations involved have called up their Europe-based players but Bento has still been able to pick a squad packed with quality. The Portuguese coach's line-up leans heavily on the Jeonbuk Motors side that won the K-League title last weekend and is bolstered by leading talent from around the region.
The most sensible thing to do is to forget about the performance at Vicarage Road. They made uncharacteristic errors in defence, playing too high a line and being second best to the ball. Even Virgil van Dijk proved he is human after all with his defending for Watford's first two goals. The only player who enhanced his reputation was the injured Joe Gomez who the Reds sorely missed.
City's 2-1 win was the lowest recorded by a side managed by Guardiola in any of his 381 top-flight matches in charge at his three clubs. The Spaniard tried to give the impression that he wouldn't be losing any sleep about that piece of data, although it is hard to believe it won't pique his curiosity at the very least.
BARCELONA, April 13 (Reuters) - Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic has criticised his club for their recent treatment of him and for trying to force his departure last year. The Croatian has been at Barca since 2014 but has fallen out of contention this campaign due to the arrival of Dutch midfielder Frenkie de Jong and has only started 10 of Barca's 27 La Liga matches.

We think Sydney FC have enough in attack to maintain their two goal a game average and their defence is strong too with an average of just 1.1 goals conceded per game. With that in mind we’re predicting a 2-0 win for the visitors as they continue to pile the pressure on Western United and leapfrog Melbourne City at the top of the A-League table.
MK Dons haven't just improved results of late, but they've done so by getting the better of some very good sides, beating Portsmouth and Oxford at home, while they also took a point off Doncaster away from home. Such results are promising. However, it can't be ignored that each of their recent wins have come at Stadium mk. Away from the comforts of home, The Dons remain without a win on the road since September. They've since lost six out of eight travelling matches, scoring five goals, conceding 13, keeping no clean sheets and failing to score four times.
I really wanted to take the over 3.5 goals bet here in this one at odds of 3.00 of course it was the risk that there would be just 3 goals scored in this one as for example last season also here in this second league level when these two teams met the game ended in a 2-1 win for the hosts but in their last two games in the league they drew both those games with 2-2 in the end so games with over 3.5 goals scored in them.
Both of these sides are undeniably talented going forward, with Leicester harbouring the leagues top scorer in Jamie Vardy and Liverpool possessing the best front three in world football. The hosts have scored in each of their last eight Premier League home games, while Liverpool haven’t failed to score on the road since March.
Fleetwood have often been involved in high-scoring games, but they're also no strangers to low-scorers at home with three of their last five at Highbury seeing less than three goals go in. More importantly, when we look at some of the underlying number, 'Both Teams to Score – NO' starts to appeal. Both Fleetwood and Bristol Rovers rank in the bottom eight when it comes to touches in the opposition box. Bristol Rovers are the third worst in terms of shots on target for away from home. At home, Fleetwood are the best League 1 team in terms of shots on target against.
Carlo AncelottiGetty Images Below them, Southampton, Brighton and Bournemouth have accumulated enough points at the halfway stage that if you times their total by two (because that’s how football works of course…) then they would reach the magic 40-point mark at the end of the season. If only it were so simple.
Frankfurt are unbeaten in their last three games, winning two of them. Frankfurt recently beat Leipzig 2-0 at home. Leipzig have won one of their last four away games. Eintracht Frankfurt may be only 11th in the Bundesliga but they'll be confident of beating second placed RB Leipzig in the German Cup.
Born in 1996 to a military father, Ndidi grew up in a Lagos barracks. Discipline and education were the priority while football was a passion his father frowned upon. Any time my dad went to work I would go and play," Ndidi said in an interview with BBC World Service. I would then get the signal that he was coming and go back to what I was doing, so he didn't know I'd been playing. I got caught several times but was still going.

Away side is team that could be able to make it to the upper part, and maybe challenge to fight for the promotion in this season, but they need to make their play on side at the high level in order to be able to beat rivals, like it is today one. Host is with the quite tough position at the table, and their defensive play is not enough for the better result in the league.
