Webb was switched to centre-back for the replay to get him away from Gray and give Harris the task of keeping the winger quiet, but fate drew the two back together almost immediately and gave the Chelsea man a chance to make his mark. This he did, about halfway up Gray’s left shin. Referees looked very different back in 1970By 2020 standards, this would have earned Webb a first yellow, according to Oliver.
Arsenal have now won just one of their last 11 Premier League matches, a run that has pushed them down to 11th in the table and eight points adrift of the top four. In fact, they’re closer to the relegation zone than they are to Champions League qualification; a stark reminder of how dire the situation is at the Emirates.
The national stadium's famous arch will be lit up at 8pm this evening to send a message of thanks to the stars of our healthcare system as they engage in the match of a lifetime with coronavirus. Major sporting venues and landmarks are joining the #lightitblue campaign, which has been organised by a collective of leaders from the events and entertainment industry.
United are now 10 games unbeaten in all competitions and have kept clean sheets in eight of those games as they have risen up the table to be in position for a real push for Champions League qualification. The back-line looks solid, the midfield has been transformed by the arrival of Bruno Fernandes in January and the often-frustrating Anthony Martial is becoming a real threat in attack.
Getty Images After one season in Cyprus in charge of AEK Larnaca this is Iraola’s second season as a manager, and he’s been making waves with his Mirandes team. He’s perceived as a manager very highly and there’s a lot of talk he’ll be the next manager of Athletic Club,” says Kitromilides. It’s been a very successful casting for him as they in Spanish.
Liverpool moved 11 points clear at the top of the Premier League with a comfortable win over Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, one of seven changes for the Reds, opened the scoring after a brilliant long-range pass from Jordan Henderson. Naby Keita made it 2-0 before the break, slotting in with the outside of his foot after Mohamed Salah set him up with a sublime backheel.
It worked in the first quarter, but had too little dynamism and attacking instinct to turn the tide once the second goal went in. Aaron Lennon offered little, Dwight McNeil was shackled and Wood was left an isolated figure. To add to the Clarets' woes, some of their rivals at the bottom have shown a dramatic upturn in fortune. Watford's new manager bounce and Southampton's rejuvenation have blown the battle at the bottom wide open.
We’re confident that over 2.5 goals will be produced in Saturday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in favour of Den Haag. The hosts aren’ the form favourites and haven’t been playing well enough at home this season but do have an excellent record against their guests in recent years and Twente have struggled on the road of late.
Three points here will give Eibar the breathing space they need and we fancy them to hit back based on their prior victories against Sevilla (3-2) and Villarreal (2-1) at Ipurua, as well as Alaves' dismal away form.
Looking back, Ellis describes the moment she came out to her college team - on the field, with her daughter in her arms - as liberating, and something she hopes others can take strength from. Plenty of other LGBTQ+ people in football are using their platform to show the game is somewhere everyone belongs. In 2017, Ryan Atkin became England's first out gay male referee at a professional level. It was a whirlwind," he says.
We want him back scoring goals and making assists. There's no one who runs as much, he's great trigger for us in the pressing, he's a lively, bubbly character. Lingard recently said in an interview with the Daily Mail that he feared for his United future after posting a bizarre video on social media with team mate Marcus Rashford in the close season.
Aubameyang set to leave Arsenal in summer sale Arsenal are reportedly likely to sell club captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at the end of the season if they fail to qualify for a European competition next season. According to the Star, the north London club are worried about their financial situation if they were to completely miss out on qualifying for a continental competition, especially with Aubameyang's value quickly decreasing as he heads into the final year of his contract.
Gareth Bale is happy at Real Madrid and "going nowhere" despite his increasingly peripheral status at the club, the Wales forward's agent says. Bale was visibly frustrated as he was left on the bench for most of Real's La Liga title triumph this season. And although other clubs are interested in signing the 31-year-old, his agent Jonathan Barnett says he will not leave on loan or on a permanent transfer.
England's 1966 World Cup hero Sir Geoff Hurst has paid tribute to former West Germany goalkeeper Hans Tilkowski, who died on Sunday at the age of 84. Hurst scored a hat-trick past Tilkowski to help England win the final 4-2 at Wembley. The keeper also won the DFB Cup and European Cup Winners' Cup with former club Borussia Dortmund. Terrific player for his club, Borussia Dortmund, and country and a very fine man," Hurst tweeted.
Emery also had a fractured relationship with Arsenal's maverick superstar Mesut Ozil, although this was understandable given the lack of return on the German's reported £350,000-a-week contract. Arsenal's fans also fell out of love with Ozil - but then used his absence as another stick to beat a manager who tried his best but never convinced. This, along with bad results, players who were clearly disengaged from the manager's approach, and growing fan anger, created a perfect storm around Emery that he could never clear.

In the second half we weren't so fluid and they created some good chances themselves. Toni Rudiger and Andreas Christensen were really good. Toni was aggressive - the second goal is a really great header - so I'm really pleased with him. On Willy Caballero: "His performance was pretty good - he makes a good save, he's comfortable with his feet, there was not much you could do with either goal. Chelsea still underdogs for the top four: "We were underdogs at the start of the season.

Football match from the Nicaragua Primera league and we have Diriangen playing host to Real Esteli. For this match I will go with a full time draw. This is a playoff semi final and I expect this match to be played like a semi final match hence why I can't see a winner.
Given the recent efforts of this pair, 'Both Teams to Score' appeals. For all Bolton have started to struggle again, they do have a good recent scoring record at home. The Trotters have found the net in each of their last seven at home. At the other end, they've failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last four at Macron Stadium, as well as in all but one of their last nine overall. Both teams have scored in six of their last seven at home. Much of the same can be said for Portsmouth, who've scored and conceded in each of their last three on the road. They've also found the net in each of their last 12 games overall.
Davis, Kamara, Jack and Scott Arfield were the main forces in midfield that day and Celtic couldn't handle them. Then came Celtic's convincing 2-0 win at Ibrox. After that came the League Cup final and we all know about the smash-and-grab that took place there. It's instructive to think back to the early stages of that final and the menace that Rangers possessed from corners and free-kicks. Three times in the opening minutes Goldson and Filip Helander won headers around Celtic's six-yard box.
Greaves quickly came to terms with the new reality. I was gutted when the games first got called off,” he said. We were so close to winning it again after so long. But it rapidly became clear that it was right to push football on to the back burner. We are talking about people's lives here. It’s about getting priorities right.
