After a 3-3 draw in regulation time at the Saitama Stadium, the tie was evenly balanced at 2-2 after the first four penalty kicks of the shootout, including one by Kobe skipper and Spain great Andres Iniesta, were all converted. Matters then descended into farce with the following nine efforts all missing the target -- mostly due to poor finishing -- before Hotaru Yamaguchi drilled his shot in to secure the sudden-death win for Kobe in front of more than 50,000 fans.
Liverpool scored in their 29th consecutive game in the Premier League; only two teams have ever recorded a longer scoring streak in the competition - Arsenal between 2001 and 2002 (55) and Manchester United between 2007 and 2008 (36). Sheffield United have lost back-to-back league matches for the first time since they lost both of their opening two games in last season's Championship. Mohamed Salah's opener (03:25) was the earliest goal scored by Liverpool and conceded by Sheffield United in this season's Premier League.
English football is heading towards its third weekend without games and, with no end in sight to the lockdown, the first cracks are beginning to appear in what had previously been a united front. In the "professional game", which covers the Premier League and Football League, there is now an acceptance there will be no immediate resumption. The Premier League clubs are due to meet again on 3 April, when it is almost certain the current postponement of all games until 30 April will be extended again.
This excellent run of form has rocketed Spurs back into the running for a top four spot, and victory on Sunday would see them occupy 4th place for Christmas day. They sit three points adrift of Chelsea but already have a superior goal difference, so there’s a lot on the line this weekend.
It meant that, while City had players of the calibre of Kevin de Bruyne and Raheem Sterling among their substitutes, the Clarets named two untried youngsters in Max Thompson and Bobby Thomas, and two keepers - Lukas Jensen and Bailey Peacock-Farrell - among their potential replacements. Before their season was stopped, Burnley were on a seven-game unbeaten run that had taken them to the fringes of the race for Europe.
Greuther Furth and Nurnberg will face each other in the upcoming match in the Second Bundesliga. Greuther Furth this season have the following results: 5W, 3D and 5L. Meanwhile Nurnberg have 3W, 5D and 5L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Everton are unbeaten in six Premier League matches at Goodison Park (W4 D2) since losing 2-0 to Norwich in Marco Silva’s last home game in charge. Everton have scored in their last nine Premier League games, while Manchester United have kept three consecutive Premier League clean sheets. Tottenham Hotspur v Wolverhampton Wanderers (1400) *Wolves beat Spurs 3-1 in the same fixture last season but have never before won back-to-back away league games against Spurs.
The Premier League's opening weekend is due to be on 8 August. Uefa feels if the season ends on 30 June, they could squeeze in all the qualifying rounds for their tournaments before the group stages begin in September. When would season have to start again to be finished for 30 June?There are nine rounds of Premier League fixtures remaining, plus the two matches postponed because of Manchester City and Aston Villa reaching the Carabao Cup final.
The news means Kane should be back in contention for a spot in Jose Mourinho's plans for when football returns following its postponement due to the coronavirus pandemic. There will be no matches played until 30 April at the earliest, but there was some positive news for Spurs with Kane, who has been out with a hamstring injury since New Year’s Day, revealing his recovery is going to plan.
That leaves them five points behind Cardiff with four games remaining. It was a welcome win for Rovers as they had lost their previous three league matches conceding seven goals. Home form has seen Blackburn only lose one of the last five in the Championship. That was to league leaders Leeds United last weekend.
Hull have won three of their last four matches in the Championship (L1), last winning three in a row at the start of November. They could easily repeat that achievement here, while they’ve won three straight games in all competitions following their success at Rotherham at the weekend.
The 20-year-old enjoyed the wide open spaces that Burnley increasingly gave him as the game progressed, and made the most of them with his build-up play, as well as his finishing. Foden stood out as the best player on the pitch," said BBC Radio 5 live summariser Pat Nevin. He had everything about his game - good energy and runs with the ball, but also the eye of a pass which all City players have. As an outsider, I would build my team around him, not just City but England too.
The guests are pushing for promotion right now and are the team to beat in this 3rd league level with 8 wins in a row in all competitions they should really find it easy to win today and if I was not such a coward would take a handicap bet on them as well as Tranmere besides defeating Watford in the FA Cup and I really do not understand how that happened, they have just one win in their last 15 games in all competitions, and are with 22 points, 3rd from bottom with 6 points away from a safe place right now.
Two goals in as many minutes just before halftime laid the platform as third-placed Salzburg moved on to seven points in Group E, three behind leaders Liverpool and needing to beat Juergen Klopp’s team in Austria on December 10 to advance. Salzburg, who lost 4-3 to Liverpool earlier in the group stage, would need only a low-scoring single-goal victory to finish ahead of Liverpool.
In this clash I expect the hosts to win by more than one goal. Jalapa plays well in the last weeks and they won the last four of five games at home in the league. I don't think that they will struggle tonight and score no more than one goal against Chinandega. They scored usually 2 goals and keep the clean sheet in their games. The visitors lost 0:7 in last away match against Ferretti and 1:5 against Esteli. I don't believe that they will show something better tonight and avoid defeat in this match. I pick Asian handicap -1 for Jalapa. Good luck
I really see at least three goals in this match from England Championship and that is pretty real for me. So, home team is one of the most offensive this season and they are having the same time, very bad defense. In last four matches, this team is won just one point and they are surely in problem in this moment. Team will must attack very good guests, who are in this moment in better form than rival. Cardiff City is played in last four of five away matches with three or more goals. I think this match will be similar.
The Bosnians are at home to Northern Ireland in their playoff tie on March 26 and should they win, they will host either Ireland or Slovakia for a berth in the 24-nation tournament to be staged in 12 European cities. Bosnia finished fourth in qualifying Group J, behind Italy and Finland who gained automatic places and third-placed Greece, who will miss out on the Euros.

The German Football League (DFL), which runs the Bundesliga, has warned that many top-division teams will be in an "existence-threatening" financial position if play does not resume by June. With nine games of the season remaining, Bayern Munich lead the table, four points ahead of Borussia Dortmund, but the DFL needs the season to be completed by 30 June because of deals with sponsors and broadcasters.

That is the level we face against Liverpool, Manchester United, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Juventus. They are the teams we have to face and the reality is maybe we are not able now to compete with them. Maybe we need to live that as a club to improve, to accept the reality now and improve.

Five others scored in their milestone match - Sol Campbell, Teddy Sheringham, Robbie Keane, Jermain Defoe and Christian Eriksen. The goal was also Kane's ninth against West Ham, meaning he is the fourth player to score at least 30 Premier League goals in London derbies (Thierry Henry, Teddy Sheringham and Frank Lampard complete the list). And if Kane does reach 200 goals, he would become just the third player in Premier League history to do so, following in the footsteps of Alan Shearer (260) and Wayne Rooney (208).
In the same interview, he told a story about a time in 2016 when he turned down an offer from former Argentina manager Jorge Sampaoli - then boss of Sevilla - because he didn't want to miss out on a rock festival. Do you want to laugh?" he said. In December 2016, Sampaoli contacted me. Dani, do what you want on and off the field, but I need a striker. I replied: 'Mister, but there is the Cosquin Rock [Argentine music festival].
Emery's side, who were second best throughout, were booed off at the final whistle after delivering a disjointed performance which suggested they may struggle to compete for a place in the top four this season. Danny Ings' early goal had put the visitors in front, with the forward catching the home defence asleep to race onto Ryan Bertrand's free-kick and score with a right-foot shot from close range.
It was another lacklustre performance on the road, filled with misplaced passes and questionable defending. Yes, they were missing a number of players missing through injury and a hangover from the international break may have played its part, but Barca have been out of sorts since the beginning of the campaign.
Wilfried Zaha struck the opener right on half-time with a low drive, despite Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope getting a hand to the ball at his near post. Jeffrey Schlupp sealed victory nine minutes after coming on as a substitute as he capitalised on Ben Mee's mistake to fire between Pope's legs from inside the area.

RESULT: Kevin De Bruyne should win PFA Player of the Year "Ben Davies with the tackle. Here’s Son. Sissoko. Here’s Dele Alli… Here’s Lucas Moura… OH THEY’VE DONE IT!" The conductor of Tottenham’s finest hour is lost under a pile of bodies in the Amsterdam Arena. Spurs are one game away from ending their trophy drought in the most memorable of seasons.
Granotas are not the most reliable of teams as their overall record this term implies (W7, D2, L8), but we think that they can best Celta again this weekend to land their fifth home win of the campaign.
That will sort it out and you will no longer have decisions about millimetres and a fraction of the attacker being in front of the defensive line. Each of the four Home Nations - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - has one of the eight votes, with FIFA holding the other four. Any law change needs six votes in favour to go through.
The move will bring an end to Young's 8-1/2 year stay at United, where he won the 2012-13 Premier League title, the 2015-16 FA Cup, and both the League Cup and Europa League in 2016-17. Sky Sports reported the 34-year-old Young is expected to undergo a medical in Italy on Friday after United agreed to sell the player in a deal worth a 1.
With four wins and nine losses in their last 15 league matches, it looks so bleak for them going to this match. Leipzig, Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen and drawing with Borussia Dortmund. This is the form they will hope to turn on in this game, but coming from a heavy loss at home to Basel says all about their unpredictability.
We've gone for a high-scoring affair (why not) given Atalanta qualified thanks to a 4-3 win at Valencia, but they have some work to do against Leipzig to claw this one back. April 8: Barcelona 1-1 PSG NeymarGetty Images Ah, a repeat of La Remontada. Three years on from Barca’s miraculous comeback against PSG, the two sides meet again in the knockouts.
This game, therefore, will be an indicator of just how far Lampard has gone in creating a top-four side. For City, however, it is an encounter in which they simply cannot afford to slip-up. Failure to beat Chelsea could leave Liverpool with a double-figures advantage over the champions and it would take a major slump in form for Klopp's men to let that sort of lead slip.
Media playback is not supported on this device FA Cup: Liverpool 1-0 Everton highlights I am not sure how Chelsea manager Frank Lampard will approach this tie, though. His priority surely has to be a top-four finish and the Champions League, because next summer is going to be a big one for their recruitment, and they probably need to be in it to attract the players they want. So this tie is hard to call, but I have a feeling it will go the distance.
Having a striker as prolific as the 19-year-old has worked wonders for Dortmund, who have won eight of their last ten matches. Their most recent victory showed that they can handle tough away assignments, a 2-1 triumph in Gladbach. This ability to win in difficult venues will serve them well in Paris as PSG have only lost one home match this season, a shock defeat to Reims back in September.
Celje will host Maribor for this fixture of the league. I believe, the visitors have the motivation to get all three points. Maribor are more ambitious team in this league. In any case, Maribor will try to make a positive result. Maribor are currently on the 2nd place with 43 points. They probably want to stay in the race for higher range. Also, we have Celje who's is very average team in this season. They are currently on the 4th place with 39 points. Celje are undefeated in their last 5 matches. However, they have a very difficult task in this game. My pick - Maribor to win.
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.
Benfica are unbeaten in their last six matches. Zenit have two wins in five Champions League matches. Benfica have three wins in 10 Champions League matches. Benfica have lost just once in the last 12 matches. Zenit have five straight wins.
