Eight minutes later, Austin won it for Albion when he peeled away at the far post to meet Darnell Furlong's right-wing cross with a textbook header. Relive Saturday's EFL actionAustin's quickfire double took his personal goal tally to six in his past five appearances after a faltering start to his Albion career - and his team back to the top of the Championship, although Leeds will return to the summit if they beat Cardiff at Elland Road (15:00 GMT kick-off).
Carroll has had a history of injuries in his career but signed a one-year deal for his hometown club this season despite the fact that he was recovering from an ankle surgery last April. The 31-year-old made his first start only in November and is yet to score for the club where he made a name for himself prior to a then-record-breaking move to Liverpool in 2011 and Bruce said the hip injury only added to their frustration.
Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia added: "We are delighted Hakim will be joining us in the summer, having been a key target of the club’s in this last window. He has consistently been one of the most dangerous attacking players in Europe in recent years, which we saw first-hand in our two games against Ajax in the Champions League.
But the dangling carrot that is Yannick Carrasco cannot be ignored. The Belgium winger is not what we absolutely need, but if he does end up in front of a camera holding the red and blue stripes, most in South London would rejoice. Roy Hodgson has talked at length on how depleted the squad is, so departures seem unlikely. Connor Wickham would be the exception as the striker needs minutes after such a long time out injured.
Pacos Ferreira score an average of 0.67 goals per home game while Vitoria Setubal score an average of 0.20 goals per away game, making a 1-0 final scoreline in favour of the hosts the most likely outcome this weekend but a bet of under 2.5 goals covers another possible three results (1-0 win for Setubal, a 0-0 draw, or a 1-1 draw).

It's hard to separate two teams who are climbing the table. Derby's home record and Rooney factor appear to give them the slight edge but we can't dismiss Stoke's last result on the road. Pride Park is rarely a venue that houses goal parades. With that in mind, we suggest putting money on the game being settled by the odd goal or two, if any. Back under 2.5 goals.

Al Wahda has not won a game in while losing on the road lately even away at modest Hatta with 3-2, lost two points at home a few days ago with bottom of the league Khor fakkan after leading 1-0 and 2-1 they only drew 2-2 against really the weakest club in the league so do not be fooled in taking the away win even though odds are dropping on the away win here, they do have quality in attack but their defense can be rated very weak.
England's winter tour of Sri Lanka has been postponed and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced no domestic cricket would be played until at least the end of May. The Sunday Times said high-profile centrally contracted England players were expected to take cuts of as much as 200,000 pounds ($245,000) from their 1 million pounds per year earnings.
When winning matches becomes routine, like brushing your teeth or taking the dog for a walk. There is no way to adequately explain this season. We are all well versed in the expert recruitment Liverpool have engaged in, converting the money received from Philippe Coutinho into Alisson and Virgil van Dijk, compiling a stellar cast of names with savvy moves.
The Lions have scored twice in each of their last six home matches, while they’re looking to add to their great run under Rowett. Having scored six times across their two clashes with Barnsley in 2018, Millwall should score another couple here to continue their fine form. Over 1.5 Millwall goals is our tip here, along with a 2-1 home victory, with 70% of games here seeing BTTS land.
Football League chairman Rick Parry said "there haven't been any discussions about it", but did tell a Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport committee hearing: "I don't think we should be ruling out any creative ideas. The Premier League is hopeful of a potential 8 June resumption. No set date has been given for the EFL, but Parry said the current season must be concluded by July 31. Hard to see fans returning to football soon - FA ChairmanWho would suffer the most without any fans?What did Taylor say?Taylor was talking about combating player fatigue, with so many games expected to be played in a short period.
Amid that success there was disappointment for Peters, who was not included in the West Ham side that won the FA Cup final against Preston North End in 1964, victory being secured by Ronnie Boyce's last-minute winner. There was to be consolation, of sorts, for Peters a year later when he was a key component of the team that won the European Cup Winners' Cup against 1860 Munich at Wembley, courtesy of two goals from Alan Sealey.
The tournament built on the success of last week's FIFA 20 version of the Seville derby between Real Betis' Borja Iglesias and Sevilla's Sergio Reguilon, also organised by Llanos to fill the void left by the derby which had been postponed. The Spanish sports media enthusiastically covered the online tournament, with leading newspapers Marca and AS broadcasting the matches on their websites as well as publishing match reports and live blogs of the games.
Gabriel Jesus came off the bench to earn Manchester City a 1-0 win away to Leicester City in a Premier League game marred by more VAR controversy. See alsoLeicester City - Manchester City The first half was a lively affair with Jamie Vardy, who has failed to score in his last nine games, hitting the post while Ilkay Gundogan should have netted from close range.
At the end of the season nobody knows what is going to happen. With calm we decide what we want, but for the next three months the commitment will be incredible. Nobody has helped us outside'Guardiola claims "nobody has helped us outside" as the club come to terms with the possibility of a two-year exile from European competition. City were banned and fined 30m euros (£25m) last week for "serious breaches" of Uefa's club licensing and financial fair play regulations.
And it would take a bigger, better, less weird group to overcome Tim Krul from the penalty mark. What a delightfully irritating goalkeeper he is. Fortunately for Spurs, they are blessed with a maverick political genius in their ranks. No, not Jose Mourinho: Eric Dier. In accordance with the “dead cat” theory of political distraction, which calls for spectacular distraction at moments of crisis, Dier took the heat off his comrades by charging into the stands after the game to confront a fan.
The atmosphere was great coming here in the bus, with all the ultras singing," said PSG coach Thomas Tuchel. We were all singing together and it was a special atmosphere. Neymar scores as PSG overcome Dortmund in empty stadium Some fans appeared to mock the guidelines given by their governmentSome wore masks - forever associated with this virus which has affected so many events - some lit flares, some set off fireworks and many chanted songs to try to inspire their team playing in front of empty stands.
Keane was one of a number of expensive recruits made by then manager Ronald Koeman in the summer of 2017Keane first began to experience problems shortly after joining Everton for a club-record equalling £30m fee from Burnley in July 2017. He suffered an injury during a Carabao Cup tie with Sunderland when a James Vaughan tackle opened up a wound in his foot that required eight stitches. Keane played on in that game and continued to do so in the weeks that followed, taking pain-killing injections to combat an infection that would eventually inflame further and lead to a spell in hospital.
The hosts have hit a tough patch of form, following four games without a victory. That includes a 1-0 loss to Fulham at home in their last game here, something which should concern the Blues. They’ve had to rely on results at this ground so far this term in their bid to stave off relegation, but if their home form goes then the Blues are in serious danger.
The hosts won the title in Uganda over the past couple of seasons but their road in the continental competitions has not been that great, still a very solid side for this country and 2nd in the league at this moment with 32 points they sit 4 points behind the league leaders from Vipers at this moment but are known for crushing opponents at home and scoring plenty of goals here.
this is a game of high stakes for both teams that are placed extremely high above the table. The host Lazio enters this fixture with 2 drawers and 2 wins in their last five games. Currently they are placed on number 3 but a win today will see them move to second place a point behind log leaders Juventus. As for inter they are currently second behind Juventus a win over Lazio will see them move into first place on goal aggregate so it's a must win match for both teams today.I predict that this game will produce at least 2 and above goals
Then his energy. I wanted to take him off a few times because he looked knackered. He was cramping and the next minute he's sprinting 60 yards again. He absolutely stepped up. OUR VIEW: Be wary of hype train Martinelli has taken his opportunity brilliantly but it’s worth revisiting how his recent goals in 2020 have come about before jumping on the hype train.
He wanted to get out of PSG. He is a Manchester United player. He is going to play every game, why are they going to Odion Ighalo? I don't understand it. However, BBC Sport's Simon Stone explained United felt they were "winners" following the conclusion of the deal and window, with Ighalo reportedly turning down a move to Jose Mourinho's Tottenham to join the Red Devils. With Ighalo, United understand that doesn't fit their long-term vision and that wasn't part of the plan, however they feel they are reacting to a short term situation which is leading goalscorer Rashford getting injured.

You are not young enough to be forgiven for mistakes but you are not old enough to have the experience. You are in the between age of trying to figure it out and it is flipping hard. But Chilwell's versatility is really good for England so I do not think he needs to worry about his place at the Euros. January has gone now so he needs to get his head down and kick on a gear - Leicester have a tough match on Friday against ninth-placed Wolves (20:00 GMT kick-off).
For others, the night before was when they fully realised what they were about to take part in. Cole’s internal organs started to inform him this wasn’t a Milk Cup tie after all, while Blomqvist – who had been given three weeks’ notice by Ferguson that he would be playing in the final, but had barely kicked a ball in that time – walked round his hotel room reading aloud motivational slogans in an attempt to boost his confidence.
Gonzalo Higuain scored twice as champions Juventus produced a late comeback against Atalanta to maintain their grip on top spot in Serie A. Higuain cancelled out Robin Gosens' opener for Atalanta in the 74th minute before completing the turnaround with a second eight minutes later. Paulo Dybala then sealed the points for Maurizio Sarri's side in injury time. Sarri's team are four points clear of Antonio Conte's Inter Milan, who face Torino later on Saturday (19:45 GMT).

Controversially high I fancy. France's favourite Kylian Mbappe has arrived and is getting absolutely mobbed, as you might expect. The guests are arriving It's a glitzy ceremony as usual with a lovely red carpet - with a Fiat hatchback parked in the middle of it. Anyway, Robert Lewandowski is here, looking well given that he's currently in rehab for an addiction to scoring goals.
Now, Basham is a central defender and does not have a reputation for scoring goals so I want to know what he thinks he's playing at? Basham has been outstanding this season for the Blades. I'm still not mad about their style of play but they have unbelievable spirit. Did you know? Only James Tarkowski (81) has made more headed clearances than Basham (80) in the Premier League this season. Cahill: It's not very often I select a centre-back in consecutive weeks but I find myself compelled to with Gary Cahill.
I have to say I think the odds for the over 2.5 goals bet are too big in this one I mean I know the hosts will look to not concede a goal as it is important in the balance of the tie they do not concede but they hosted ATK in the league a couple of weeks ago and had the lead 2-0 early on as their attack is quite good and scoring goals at this moment for them but they have not kept a clean sheet for more than a month right now and even lost in the AFC Cup to Maziya from Maldives after a 2-1 loss on the road and a 3-2 win at home they exited the competition on penalties in the end.

I think offsides is one and whether you want offsides that are precise to the armpit or the heel, or whether you want to build in a bit of tolerance? That is sort of a technical challenge,” he said. The use of the review area (by the referee) is another debate. We have recently expanded the remit on that to cover red cards and downgrades from red card situations.

I told my wife I'm going to play a little longer," De Bruyne, 28, said in a live video on his Instagram page. After this lockdown, I cannot stay at home. I told her I'm going to take two years more. It's time to play football again. I miss it and it's difficult. But we are not important, football is not important.
City striker Jesus made slight contact with Real defender Sergio Ramos as he climbed to head home a cross from Kevin de Bruyne and cancel out Isco's opening goal in the last-16 first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Warm-Up: Manchester City love the Champions League again De Bruyne leads City to dramatic comeback win in Spain as Ramos sees red The visitors then earned a penalty when substitute Raheem Sterling was tripped in the area by Dani Carvajal and De Bruyne converted from the spot, while Real's problems were compounded when captain Ramos was sent off for bringing down Jesus.
Slutsk will host Ynergetyk-BDU for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts are favorites in this game. Slutsk is one of the ambitious teams in this season. Also, Slutsk are in solid shape in the last matches. They have three consecutive victories. In previous game Slutsk is won 1-2 against Dinamo Minsk. Also, we have Energetyk-BDU who's is very average team in this season. Perhaps, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. However, they have big fluctuations. I think, the hosts will try to make a positive result. My pick - Slutsk to win this match.
The midfielder heads the list once again because the transfer chat will just not go away. The French World Cup winner's appearances have been limited this season because of an ankle injury but Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has declared the midfielder "will not be sold". Questions remain about his Old Trafford future, though. CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN (27, midfielder, Tottenham)Value: £51. Linked with: Real Madrid, Manchester United"Eriksen has fallen out of love with the club.
Most points in a season: 100 How the table looks with four games - and 12 points - up for grabsAgain, that Manchester City win in 2018 holds the record, Gabriel Jesus' stoppage-time goal at Southampton ensuring that Pep Guardiola's side became the first in the Premier League to reach 100 points. Liverpool currently have 92 points with 12 still up for grabs. Three wins from their remaining four matches would see them take this one as well, with a maximum haul of 104 on the cards.

Who knows? Gareth and I both agreed the door would still be open for whatever reason and then we would sit down and have a talk about it (if needed)," Vardy, who has seven goals in 26 appearances for England, told Sky Sports. We've not had the chat or anything yet and nothing has been spoken about. The lads (Kane and Rashford) are out injured, but they're looking to be back in time.
With so much debate over what the FA Cup means and the value of replays, the pitch invasion that ensued after Shrewsbury secured a 2-2 draw with champions-elect Liverpool was a sight to behold. After all, what screams magic of the cup more than a bunch of kids and reserves being pegged back in the second half by a bloke who once brought a travel adaptor with him when he went from Scotland to Wales… Perhaps the best embodiment was Jurgen Klopp saying afterwards that he and his starters will not be partaking in the replay as it comes during the new Premier League winter break, so instead it will be Neil Critchley in charge once more.

That's an odd reason to say I'm not happy or satisfied - I want to stay. After winning back-to-back titles and smashing goals and points records along the way last year, Guardiola insists he is liking the "challenge" of this season. City broke the Premier League points record in 2017-18 when they became the first club in English top-flight history to reach 100 for the season. It took another 98 to edge out Liverpool last term.
Scholes scored 155 goals for United in 716 games, while Argentine Veron played 82 matches for the club after signing for £28m in 2001. The fans are used to players with that personality, mentality and quality," Solskjaer added. We have got the number 10 position nailed down now. He is a big piece of what we are trying to put together.
