Paulo Dybala levelled for the Serie A champions at the end of the first-half from a rebound after Cristiano Ronaldo's shot was parried by Thomas Strakosha. Juventus seemed to be in control in the second half and Ronaldo was close with a shot which went just over but they were caught out when Marco Parolo's cross flew across the face of goal and Lulic volleyed in at the far post in the 73rd minute.
Juve are hoping to put any Cristiano Ronaldo drama behind them this weekend, although the tantrums of the former Real Madrid star may be a longer-term concern. Their top scorer was always going to struggle with Sarri’s demanding system, while his return of five goals after 12 games is hardly special. If he continues to be frustrated and acts out then it could hamper their season.
Fulham, with Murphy suspended and a makeshift central midfield pair of Dickson Etuhu and Chris Baird, conceded a Trezeguet goal after two minutes, meaning they had to score three times in 88 minutes just to force extra time. They went one better, reeling in a panicking Juve before an ecstatic crowd with Zamora, two goals from Zoltan Gera and a chip eight minutes from time by substitute Clint Dempsey sparking delirium.
The U’s are normally known for their defensive strength but over the course of this run, they have proven that they are much more than a side who just keeps the opposition at bay as they have scored on a pretty regular occurrence. The hosts have managed to find the back of the net at least two times in each of their last four home league games and know if that they are able to earn three points on New Years Day, they could find themselves in the top three come 5pm.
For me, this is probably the best match for betting on goals from all from Premier league from 16:00. So, home team was in big problems from the start of season, but they are start to play better and better. Firstly, they are beat direct rivals in fight for survive in league, and later, they are beat even Chelsea as a guests, 2-0, what was impressive, really. Spurs, on the other side are coming in this match after 2-2 in last round against Norwich City. In every match, this team is playing offensive, so I belive in same story and this time.
Lee McCulloch remembers his first taste of green tea. For Gary Caldwell, it was the hotel's glass lift. Gary Teale recalls Tokyo being like a scene from Bladerunner. And Lee Miller is still bewildered by the heated toilets. Chris Burke, meanwhile, fondly describes "a lovely vegetable curry" he enjoyed on the flight home. The Scotland squad all have different memories from their 2006 trip to Japan for the Kirin Cup - a three-team friendly event.
Neal Maupay scored the winner five minutes into added time as relegation-threatened Brighton clinched a huge win over Arsenal, who once again lost a key player to injury. The French striker showed coolness and class to slot in his ninth and most important goal of the season, give Albion their first league win of 2020 and cap a remarkable comeback. Nicolas Pepe had fired the Gunners into a deserved lead with a superb curling shot with just over 20 minutes to go, but Lewis Dunk scrambled an equaliser over the line from close range to set up a barnstorming finish.
Brescia are having a great nightmare at home after being down 9 times from 14 home matches in Seria A. That has left then down in the bottom of the league Table.

They have proved to be the worst home side in Seria A.
I didn't lose one single minute analysing what Uefa and Fifa have to analyse," Mourinho said. If I got into that I have to ask if the team that finished second in 2018 is going to be champions? Yes or no?"That would be interesting - but jokes apart, I just wait calmly. I don't think about four or five, just do the best we can, [try to get] the most points we can, the best position we can.
Last season, Sollentuna FK competed in Ettan Division 1, the Swedish 3rd division. Meanwhile, FoC Farsta played in Division 3, the 5th division. At the end of the 2019 season, Sollentuna finished only 13/16 teams with a record of winning 8, drawing 9 and losing 13 matches and scored 37 goals and received to 42 goals conceded. With this position, Sollentuna must play relegation play-off. Thankfully, they have won Motala AIF in both matches to continue to stay in the 3rd place this season. Since the beginning of 2020, Sollentuna has had 8 matches including 5 friendlies and 3 cup matches. In all 3 matches in the QG Cup, they lost easily when they met teams too strong.
One more duel from Scottish lower leagues, or in this case league 2, where I believe in goals, what is so real for me. Stirling Albion is in this moment in the middle of the table and they are surely not favorite in this duel. Cove Rangers is better team and this team is really most positive surprise this season. They are first on the table and in the same time, they are in excellent form - they are won in last four matches in a row in league. I will bet on goals, and I think that Cove Rangers will win.
We are playing against a fantastic team who are in real, strong form. Again they won at the weekend, so we need to be ready and we need to try and play as close to our best as we can. What happened in the first leg?Rangers pulled off an astonishing late comeback from 2-0 down to rescue their Europa League hopes with a dramatic victory over Braga at Ibrox. The slick Portuguese were dominant and cruising in the last-32 first leg after goals from Fransergio and Abel Ruiz.

Leeds will still come and have a go at Emirates Stadium, but I don't think they will do it with their first XI. Liam Williams: I genuinely like to see Leeds do well. Obviously most people in Leeds hate Manchester United but I always enjoyed going to see Leeds and felt sad about their decline. These days my brother in law is a big Leeds fan and I do want them to get promoted. I actually dislike Arsenal more than Leeds - perhaps irrationally - so poetically I will go for a 2-1 Leeds win here.
There are also plans to fit three - rather than two - fixtures into international windows this autumn to play Euro 2020 qualifiers and Nations League fixtures. Olsson said that he would "rather see a scenario where the current season is not finished than not kicking off the new season".

Leicester's result at Etihad Stadium was always going to play a huge part in their approach to this game - and now they need to win it, because nothing less will do. It seems very early to be saying this, because we are only just approaching the halfway point in terms of games played, but it feels like a really pivotal moment in the season. At the moment, Liverpool are in total control of the title race, even after their trip to Qatar last week for the Club World Cup.
