On this showing, the French forward is only getting better as the season progresses. Griezmann saved Barca in the last round against Ibiza and he was a constant thorn in Leganes’ side here, scoring the opening goal that sent the Catalans on their way.

Having so many new players, so many new pieces, bringing in Anthony (Davis). He spent seven years in New Orleans, so he was coming into a new system playing along with myself and how we would be able to come together. I thought it would take us a lot longer than it did, but I was wrong. Hancock hails players' efforts Health Secretary Matt Hancock has applauded the Premier League players' initiative to raise funds for the NHS.
The prize is not that somebody's going to clap you or you're going to get a standing ovation. The prize is the Premier League. That was West Bromwich Albion manager Slaven Bilic summing up Wednesday's crucial final round of Championship matches. After 45 games and almost 12 months of a season interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic, almost everything in English football's second tier is still to be decided.
The prospect of a lengthy stop concerns club officials across the non-league pyramid. It could be terminal really. We rely on gate receipts. If the games are abandoned for the rest of the season many of the clubs at our level will go to the wall. Most clubs like us are run on a shoestring," said Skinner.

They were fifth as recently as early December, but a run of one victory in their past 11 games leaves them looking nervously over their shoulder. Their inability to threaten in the final third has played a significant role in that dramatic drop-off in form. The Eagles have managed just 23 goals in 26 games - the joint worst record in the Premier League alongside Watford. Jordan Ayew - their top scorer with six - averages a goal every 354 minutes, while Wilfried Zaha has only three in the league after scoring 10 last term.

They are one of the best goal-scoring offenses in the League, but they couldn’t utilize that completely. They have scored 24 goals already and that is mostly because of the great play by Aleksandar Mitrovic, who already scored 12 goals and he is in the first place on the goal-scorers list. Fulham’s away form is solid as they have 2 wins from the last 5 played. I can see them winning here
You see the level of detail and performance that is needed to be the best in the world in any sport. I loved watching both teams play, and as an Englishman I was really proud of what they did and it was heart-warming to see. How big an advantage will it be to play three group games at Wembley?Ten or 12 teams will get the opportunity to play group matches at home, so a lot of teams will benefit from that.
These odds are really interesting to bet on this outcome: Lecce has just stopped Inter on a 1-1 draw but they had lost the previous 4 games in a row, because of a very poor attack above all, considering that they have scored no goal in 3 of those matches. Verona is instead playing very well and they can certainly count on a very good defense at home, considering that they have conceded just 11 goals in their 10 home matches. In the first game between these teams, no more than a goal has been scored, so this match could be quite tight too: it could stay Under.
The Manchester clubs get it right There is a danger of this simply encouraging the sort of brainless tribalism that none of us need at the moment, but it is worth noting that Manchester United and City have been pretty spot on in how they have dealt with the delicate business of their employees at this strange time.
The hosts were rampant, and almost scored again through Sissoko, who struck the post, and Dele Alli. But the third came just after the half hour mark when Son picked the ball up in his own half, before beating five Burnley players and stylishly lifting the ball over Pope. Son Heung-min scores an absolutely worldieGetty Images Burnley did not lie down and carved out chances of their own, but with half-time looming, Jay Rodriguez was unable to head home the impressive Dwight McNeil’s cross.
The only references to the pandemic were the by-now familiar non-handshaking pre-match team greeting and a PA announcement saying there was no guarantee next week’s match at St Albans City would go ahead “in these difficult times” - but that the beer and food outlets would be open all afternoon. I’m more worried about us going down than I am about catching this bloody bug,” said 75-year-old Archie Harrison, adding that he had supported Hamlet since 1964.
A lot of midfielders do that when they are trying to establish themselves in a team, or keep their place, because giving the ball away is the worst thing they can do. Henderson does not have to worry about his place any more, because he plays such a vital role in this Liverpool side - well, not just one actually. One of the biggest compliments you could pay him is that he nailed down the holding midfielder position and became pivotal there for a while.

It gives me a hope that instead of [being available for] one or two matches, [he plays] three, four, five [matches]," Mourinho told reporters ahead of Sunday's match against Wolverhampton Wanderers. He's the kind of guy that doesn't accept protocol or a single date or fixture [for his return]. He's a great professional and a fighter and he wants to be back as soon as possible.

We’re confident that Benfica will win and over 2.5 goals will be produced in Wednesday’s cup clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 3-1. Braga don’t have a good recent record against their hosts and head into the game on the back of what has been a poor first half to the season by their usual standards. Benfica look like they will clinch the title once again this season and the way they are playing it would n’t be a surprise to see the Lisbon club claim both domestic cups along the way.
Shearer: "It is such an iconic goal with his ability and the way he runs off and celebrates. Wright: "It was the significance of it, and how that team refused to be beaten. Ryan Giggs came off the bench and Patrick Vieira gave the ball away, but I thought it was fine because he was still in his own half. Then he starts running and no one engages with him, and once he gets going he just gets through them.
