But Mourinho said he had apologised to Dier in the dressing room after the game. The first thing I want to say is to do publicly what I did in the dressing room [after the game] and that is to apologise to Eric Dier," Mourinho told BT Sport. It is never easy for a player but not for the coaching staff either.
The Professional Footballers' Association has had talks with social media companies after Premier League players were sent racist abuse. Iffy Onuora, the players' union's coaching and equalities executive, said the talks with Instagram, Facebook and Twitter have been "broadly supportive". Sheffield United's David McGoldrick and Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha were abused on social media at the weekend.
Swansea head coach Steve Cooper:"We felt comfortable in the game. They probably had a couple more clear chances than we did, but I thought we got into as many good areas as them. We're really disappointed to concede like we did that late on. It's a tough one to take, but we've quickly got to get over it. There are still points to play for. Whether we had drawn or won today, we still would have had to pick up points in the remaining games.
Had this fixture arrive a month earlier, it would probably be viewed as an unwelcome distraction for Southampton, who not long ago were scrapping right at the foot of the table. However, after a promising few weeks and a fruitful festive period, The Saints are on the up. They'll be feeling confident after beating Spurs on New Year's Day and will thus relish the opportunity to start out on a cup run.

In 2024, Sky Sports' deal with the EFL ends and this is the same year that the Champions League could end up expanding. If the biggest clubs in England who are involved in the European competition withdraw from the League Cup, it could spell the end for England's second-tier trophy due to the lack of interest in the competition.
I'm going to go with a draw. Match preview Bournemouth v ChelseaBournemouth beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge before Christmas, when they won comfortably, but that was not the only poor home result the Blues have had this season. Frank Lampard's side seem to be more comfortable on the road, although they have had not always got the results their away performances have deserved - take last month's defeat at Newcastle for example.

But we’d bet that scoring goals is a big part of it, especially for 19-year-olds. And we’d bet further that “battering the ball past Manuel Neuer at 200 miles an hour” is an incredibly satisfying way to fulfil that daydream. Let’s just hope Sessegnon enjoyed it, before Mourinho sticks him at left-back and orders him never to cross the halfway line again.

If the ban is upheld by Wada's executive committee at a meeting in Paris on 9 December, and backed by the Court of Arbitration should Russia contest it, it would not include the European Championship as Uefa is not defined as a 'major event organisation' in regards to rulings on anti-doping breaches. Russia's participation in qualification for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar would, however, be under threat.
That's football at the top level, but I'm happy with him and with his work ethic. Dembele out for 10 weeks Another injury setback for Ousmane Dembele, who is set to be out for 10 weeks. Antoine Griezmann came on and scored in midweek - Barca face his old side Atletico Madrid next on Sunday. Ornstein on Poch & Arsenal So often a man in the know, The Athletic's David Ornstein had this to say about Arsenal's potential pursuit of Poch.
The hosts also had two goals ruled out after the break, one for handball and the other for offside, but St Etienne got the upper hand in the second half and missed several chances. Lyon keeper Lopes parried a stinging low drive by Lois Diony in the 50th minute and then twice denied Denis Bouanga as the visitors piled on the pressure in the closing stages.
Peterborough pulled a goal back through Toney before the break, their top scorer latching on to a Matthew Lowton mistake to round Joe Hart moments after the former England keeper had scuppered a chance in front of goal. Rodriguez's second of the day came after clever play by Hendrick and Aaron Lennon, the latter feeding an inch-perfect ball through to his Burnley-born team-mate to slot under Pym.
Mooy is involved, of course he is, feeding Trossard on the flank. He creates the opening for his cross and picks out Propper beautifully and his bullet header leaves Patricio with no chance. GOAL! Brighton 2-2 Wolves: Propper goes from hero to zero! He passes it straight to Jonny in a dangerous area, he feeds Jota in the penalty area and he's allowed to turn, slotting it past Ryan with a shot that nestles in the corner of the net.
The Oranje look good again The Dutch last won the European Championship in 1988For almost half a decade the Netherlands national team was in the doldrums and football, you could argue, was poorer for it. From their lively fans to their free-flowing football, the Dutch have always been welcome at international tournaments, but the 2014 World Cup semi-finalists had to watch from the sidelines during Euro 2016 and last year's World Cup after failing to qualify for both.

So close from Martinez. He really is an incredible player. Lukaku flicks the ball over his head for him to run onto, but he had to go towards the touchline to retrieve it, then he lobs the ball over his and the defenders head before shooting just wide of the target. Martinez puts the ball in the net chesting and volleying home superbly but he was a yard offside.
Having just one top-flight win in 16 games before the arrival of the former Leicester City boss earlier this month, Watford have since picked up seven points in four games. While Deeney will get the plaudits for his two goals, Sarr was outstanding using his pace to torment Villa's defence and score his side's third goal. After losing 2-0 at Leicester City on 4 December, they looked a lost cause and were seven points from safety.
Burnley captain Ben Mee says he is "humbled" by the response to his comments about the 'White Lives Matter Burnley' banner that flew over Etihad Stadium. Mee, 30, said he was "ashamed and embarrassed" by the banner, which was flown overhead just after Manchester City and Burnley players had taken a knee to support the Black Lives Matter movement before the Premier League game on 22 June. I think more of us should take that stance," he told BBC Radio 5 Live.

Almeria meets R. Oviedo in a match of a round in Spain La liga 2. For me Almeria is the favorite here and I really don't think he can lose the match. The are very strong, and they are 2nd in scoring after Cadiz. Real Oviedo is at 17th place, they demonstrates very poor defense . In their 5 games at home Almeria has recorded 3 wins , 1 draw and 1 losses. In their last 5 games played outside their stadium away team has recorded 1 victory , 1 draws and 3 defeats. I am taking Almeria to win. This should be an easy win for the home team .

Spurs, so listless, attempted just five shots, including blocks. Since 2003/04 they have only had fewer in a Premier League home game on two occasions, four against Manchester City in January 2014 and October 2018. For Chelsea, this was a satisfying correction of recent poor form which as seen them lose at home to West Ham United and Bournemouth, and away at Everton. It picks up the momentum they had under Lampard earlier this season and re-affirms the good start he has made as Chelsea manager.
Trakai II will play against Vilniaus Vytis in the 1 Lyga of Lithuania on Friday. Trakai II finished 12th in the 1 Lyga last season and they lost two of the three Matches this season.

While Vilniaus Vytis finished third last season and missed Promotion by single point. They ended last season with unbeaten run of 13 matches including 12 wins. They also won all the three Matches this season including 2-0 away win against FK Atmosfera. So Vilniaus Vytis likely to win .
Then, when I saw my brother play football I thought maybe this could be a good game for me because I love to play with the ball. I started to play, and they said to me 'oh you're very good for your age'. My parents had to talk to me because in the church they said I couldn't bring my ball, so I would come in with the ball behind my back and would dribble about after. Difficult to dribble against a dog'The Premier League will return to action on 17 June following the competition's suspension because of the coronavirus pandemic.
They have one win in 12 league matches; the win over Crystal Palace was just their eighth and have managed just two clean sheets in their last 17 league matches. In the 36 matches played, they have kept six clean sheets and in this game, they will be seeking a second straight at home, after the 2-0 win over Palace in their last home match.
Smolevichi returned to the Premier League The composition of the team remained at about 60%. We got players from the FNL and the First League of Belarus. The only signing that I liked was the rent of the goalkeeper of the Soligors Shakhtar - Filtsov, who would have sat on the bench at Shakhtar’s bench, and for Smolevichy he’s the top one. Yes, and in the first round against Brest Dynamo looked good. Smolevichi in the first round created a sensation - having drawn with the Brest Dynamo on the road 1: 1. To be honest in that game I did not see a cool game in the person of the Smolevichs. I saw how terribly Brest played. And Smolevichi scored a goal in the same way with a lot of luck. Isloch beat Neman Grodno in the first round. Wolves, in principle, were also lucky with the development of events in the match. The Neman looked much more interesting in that game than Isloch, but the removal of Marusic broke the course of the meeting. The Neman sat on the defensive and missed a beautiful Cole from the top scorer of Isloch - Momo Yansane. By the way, this year, Isloch played a friendly game with the Smolevichs. Smolevichi won 0-3. Perhaps that's why the beeches put such a kef on Isloch. The most interesting thing in that friendly game was the backup team of the Wolves) That's something like that. We put on Isloch And I also think that in this game there will be a minimum of goals. Match score 0: 1.
However, Bayern are said to be unlikely to entertain the idea of such an important player leaving during the season. Paper Round's view: Kimmich is an unbelievable footballer. He would certainly fit the Barcelona style of play and has consistently shown his strengths lie at both ends of the pitch, offensively and defensively.
