At that point, their defence apparently staged a noble protest against the fact that the game was being held in the human rights vacuum of Saudi Arabia and promptly downed tools, with an Alvaro Morata penalty and an 86th-minute winner from Angel Correa sending Atletico into the final. Captain Lionel Messi didn’t see it that way though.
So United have to do something, because they do not have a number nine while Rashford is out - Martial is capable of flashes of brilliance too, but he operates best on the left and clearly wants to be out there. Do they sit and wait for Mason Greenwood to develop? Or could they go and get Edinson Cavani from Paris St-Germain, who does not seem to be getting the game time that he wants?I know players are not easy to get in January, but they are out there.

The visitors make this trip after moving into the top seven, with a real chance of making it into Europe this season. A seventh-place finish could be enough for the side who returned to Serie A in 2018. After years away from the top, Parma head into 2020 aiming to make a return to the European stage.
It is understood the FA is aware of the allegations and discussions with relevant authorities are ongoing. A Chelsea spokesman said: "Just as we criticise our own supporters when they have been guilty of discriminatory behaviour, we expect other clubs to stand up, speak out and do the same. In a statement, West Ham said: "West Ham United in no way condones any behaviour that falls short of the highest standards which the club sets when it comes to equality.
Eventually, he joined Tottenham Hotspur and became the club's youngest ever first-team player in 1982 at the age of 16. The same year, he was part of Andy Roxburgh's Scotland squad that won the European Under-18 Championship in Finland. An appearance in Tottenham's Uefa Cup final win over Anderlecht in 1984 should have been the highlight of his fledgling career, but Dick tore ligaments in his right knee shortly after coming on and was forced to play through the pain until the end of extra time.
The players were boarding a plane when the deal was confirmed, travelling between destinations on a pre-season tour of the Far East. Keegan climbed aboard and addressed his squad. If you didn't realise you were playing for one of the biggest clubs in the business," he said, "we've just smashed the world transfer record and brought Alan Shearer home.

In my opinion these odds are really interesting to bet on an Over here: both teams have scored twice in the last round, when they have both collected the first win of their season, so scoring more than once seems to be likely for both of them this time too. The last time these teams have met here, Soligorsk has even been able to score a sum of 6 goals and they had scored 3 times in the previous match vs Neman Grodno too. In my opinion this will be a quite spectacular match with both teams scoring, so an Over is likely.

I really see at least three goals in this match from Danish Super league and I will surely try this option, because that is pretty real for me. Anyone who is follow this team in last few seasons, he can see that Brondby is just brilliant team for betting on goals and mostly in their duels, we can see three or more goals. In last two, friendly matches, this team was on same level as usual, 2-4 and 2-1, so, I believe and this match, against Sonderjyske will be on same level. Over is ok and I will try that here.
De Jong - he next season of Barcelona and this season of a complete and utter disregard of the concept of pressure – led the Dutch charge. The introduction of Jesse Lingard for the muted Jadon Sancho failed to get a hold of the central areas as the game was now rolling to De Jong’s rhythm. The midfield swagger of De Jong became ever-increasingly pronounced but, rather than De Jong, it was his Ajax colleague De Ligt who made up for his first-half misstep, with a thunderous header from a set-piece situation to level the tie.

Celtic midfielder Ryan Christie faces a two-game ban after being charged with attempting to grab Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos by the genitals during Sunday's Old Firm game. Christie has been issued with a notice of complaint for violent conduct after what is deemed an "act of brutality". The midfielder reportedly needed groin surgery after being injured in a tussle with Morelos in Rangers' 2-1 win.
This hinted at a comeback for the away side, but they couldn’t complete the job as Espanyol claimed a valuable point to aid their fight against relegation. TALKING POINT - Atletico Madrid need a striker like Raul de Tomas This has been a transitional season for Atletico Madrid. They have experienced problems in midfield and at the back, but their most pressing need is for a new centre forward.
I don't think anybody expects us to be anywhere near the top," said Rodgers. After Manchester United won at Manchester City, a caption came up after the game about how far Manchester City are away from Liverpool. We respect that and we just get on with our job, get on with trying to play and improve our performance levels. The Northern Irishman has guided the Foxes to more points after 16 games of this season than they earned at the same point when they won the league under Claudio Ranieri in 2015-16.
While the extent of the injury was unclear, Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers offered some positive news, saying it was not a hamstring problem. It is not his hamstring which is good. Hopefully over the next couple of days it will ease off and he will be fit," he said. Jamie is a real talisman for the team but if we are going to have success it is about the team.

It would be two more years before the infamous banner that read ‘Norman Bites Yer Legs’ would be held aloft by Leeds fans at the 1972 FA Cup final, but his uncompromising style was well-publicised. His first touch in the 1970 replay - a throw-in - is conducted to a chorus of boos from the Chelsea fans. His second meaningful involvement would provoke a fiercer response. After relinquishing possession following a forward run, Hunter and McCreadie come together in midfield, leading to a brief flurry of post-challenge blows between the two.
