It was a much better second half and we were the better team but could not break down a physical defence. It is how they play, it is up to the referee to control the game. We paid the price for not marking from a ball into the box. We feel hugely disappointed to lose the game. The first half was very scrappy, to lose the game is a devastating blow.
Games in the west of Asia had already been suspended prior to the announcement. The decision means matches due to be played in March and April in the confederation's other four zones around Asia - south, central, south east and east - have now also been postponed. The AFC Cup is the continent's second-tier club competition and features teams from countries such as Jordan, Lebanon, Singapore, Bangladesh and Tajikistan.
Flores's successor will be Watford's third manager of the campaign after Spaniard Javi Gracia was dismissed four games into the season in September. I think the perception of modern players is so wrong, because they're so professional and so focused," Mullins added. They're not thinking about the next guy to come in, they're thinking about Leicester and getting a positive result.
Acireale will play against Marsala in the Italian Serie D group I which is a Italian fourth division league. The hosts are in very good shape right now. They have won 3 of their last 5 matches and playing some good football. They also hold a good home record. In contrast, Marsala have lost 4 of their last 5 matches and rotting in the bottom of the table. They have a bad away record as well. But I think in this match they will be highly motivated, therefore I hope them to secure victory here in this Italian lower league match.
Media playback is not supported on this device All the angles: Relive Curtis Jones' stunning goal Yes, some teams use the FA Cup to rotate their squads and rest their regulars but it means you get a chance to see some new faces and it is a perfect platform for young players like Jones to show everyone what they can do. He would never have got a chance to showcase his talent for Liverpool in the Premier League or Champions League, but he got his opportunity in the FA Cup at the age of just 18, and certainly made a name for himself.

West Ham have confirmed Pablo Zabaleta and Carlos Sanchez will leave the club at the end of the month. Young defender Jeremy Ngakia, 19, will also depart after rejecting what the club describe as a "significant" offer. Ngakia's exit will be a huge disappointment for manager David Moyes, who named him in his starting line-up for the defeat by Wolves on 20 June. However, amid strong links with Watford, Ngakia was not involved in Tuesday's defeat at Tottenham.
In the first half, we never had enough movement in front of him; everyone wanted ball into feet. That has been a recurring theme with Anthony Martial this season. He has been given the number nine role but does not threaten the goal often enough. Aside from his FA Cup goal against League One Tranmere and header against bottom of-the-table Norwich, Martial has not scored in seven games in 2020. With Rashford injured and Romelu Lukaku sold, Martial is now United's major attacking weapon.
Bordeaux kept up their good form on Saturday as they lengthened their unbeaten streak to five games with a 1-1 draw against a very good Reims side. Ex-Sunderland man Josh Maja got the opening goal and Bordeaux had numerous chances to kill the game off but didn’t, allowing Boulaye Dia to strike home an equaliser in the last minute. Despite this, it has been encouraging signs for Paolo Sousa’s men recently with confident wins over Monaco (2-1) and Nantes (2-0) bolstering their confidence.
They had more than enough chances to leave London with a point, not least when Calvert-Lewin found himself in space just a few yards out. But he was somehow unable to beat Leno, and also glanced a header from a corner just wide. Everton are used to getting worked over by Arsenal - they are winless in 24 visits to the Gunners and have conceded a Premier League-high 110 goals against them. But they will rarely leave with as much optimism following a defeat as after this.
Did you know? Firmino became the fifth Liverpool player to record three assists in a single Premier League match, after (most recent first) Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alberto Aquilani, Vladimir Smicer and Stan Collymore. Son Heung-min: If ever Tottenham needed a performance out of Son Heung-min, then this was it. In the absence of Harry Kane, Spurs are struggling up front. Son is a runner and not a natural striker with his back to goal, which leaves Spurs lacking someone who can hold and retain the ball.
Birmingham is now in much better position after two wins in a row they are 8 points away from the relegation zone but still they conceded so many goals at home recently and they must improve that today and on the other side Cardiff is on the middle and they also has some wild games recently with even 7 goals being scored so a lot of people expect another game it goals from big teams but I don't think that is going to happen, in head to head matches here is rarely a game with over 2.5 goals being scored so I take the under
If Mr Ozil has the opportunity, we will be pleased to see him go to Xinjiang and have a look. Earlier, The Global Times described Ozil's comments as "false" and claimed he had "disappointed" football authorities. The Chinese Football Association said his comments were "unacceptable" and had "hurt the feelings" of Chinese fans. On Saturday, Arsenal distanced the club from the German's views, saying it was "always apolitical as an organisation".
The Reds have form. Last season, Divock Origi earned them a 1-0 victory over Everton with a 96th-minute Jordan Pickford-assisted winner at Anfield, Mane netted a crucial 93rd-minute goal to ensure a 4-3 victory at home against Crystal Palace and Toby Alderweireld's 91st-minute own goal gave them a 2-1 win over Tottenham. These all add to Liverpool's impressive haul of injury-time winners over the Premier League's 26-and-a-bit seasons, leaving them 10 goals better off than their nearest rival.
Why are Man Utd interested? Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is light in the centre of midfield after injuries to Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay. Those injuries meant Nemanja Matic and Fred started behind Jesse Lingard against Arsenal on New Year's Day, a match which saw United fall to a lacklustre 2-0 defeat. Nicolas Pepe of Arsenal celebrates after scoring his team's first goal during the Premier League match between Arsenal and Manchester United at Emirates StadiumGetty Images Solskjaer would see Fernandes as a short-term fix to this problem, while an initial loan deal would allow the club to monitor the player’s potential.
Welcome to the game here in Denmark. Here Amager play against Roskilde. Both teams celebrated only one win from the last 5 games. Otherwise, the host has lost 3 games in the last 5 games. The guest has only lost one game from the last 5 games. I assume that we will not see a goal fest here. It is probably a game at similar level. Despite their last position in the table, Roskilde has managed to tease many of the teams they have met, which I also expect they will come up against Fremad Amager. Generally Fremad Amager play good at home. But it will be a well contested game.
Things should be quite reserved by both sides and because of this we're predicting that the 2.5 goal line won't be beaten. Neither side look potent in attack and with a place in Europe's secondary competition up for grabs we can't see Brugge letting the game become open.

A player in this situation, even if he wants - and I am not criticising him. It's normal a player in this situation doesn't perform in the highest level," added Mourinho. But he is helping us in matches he has played for us. He's had positive performances and contributions like against Olympiakos and Norwich. Eriksen started against Boro in their FA Cup third-round match, which finished 1-1, and looks likely to again when they play the replay at Tottenham Stadium.
Gomez finally got the goal his performance deserved in the 77th minute to seal Valencia's first home win over Barca in the league since February 2007, firing into the bottom corner as the Catalans were caught out on the counter-attack. Valencia thought they had scored a third goal when Gabriel Paulista netted from a corner but the goal was ruled out for a foul following a VAR review.
It actually shows how well we’ve done to be where we are. Against that level of opponent it was a good lesson for us. No complaints about the result from me. We were a little more like ourselves in the second half but it showed there’s a long way to go for this group of young players. When we did have the ball we showed we could hurt them.
In Spain, Deportivo Alaves and Real Sociedad are expected to meet each other for a La Liga match which will be held at Estadio de Mendizorroza stadium, Victoria-Gasteiz city. In the table, Real Sociedad takes position 5 with 47 points after playing 28 matches while Alaves takes position 15 with 32 points after playing 28 matches.
Maidstone and Hampton will face each other in the upcoming match in the National League South. Maidstone this season have the following results: 11W, 9D and 9L. Meanwhile Hampton have 13W, 4D and 13L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Herediano will host Perez Zeledon for this fixture of the league. Of course, the hosts are big favorites in this match. Herediano is one of the best teams in this campaign. They are currently on the 2nd place with 39 points. Also, Herediano are in solid shape. They have four consecutive victories. Also, we have Perez Zeledon who's is not very good team in this season. They are currently on the 10th place with 20 points. After all, Herediano is really better team. I think, the hosts will go in this game to victory. My pick - Herediano with handicap (-1.5 )
I turned around and Harry was celebrating," he added. I looked at the replay on the screen and watched exactly what happened. Jose didn't have to do that. It was really nice of him to come over to me. It's made my day, my life, really! I love Spurs and it was an amazing moment I'll never forget. Callum also revealed he spent the journey back home to Leigh-on-Sea from the game revising for a maths exam.

Let me just tell you the last 5 league games of Al Raed in the first league level in Saudi Arabia as they won last round 3-2 at home with Al-Ettifaq which can be quite tough to score against, they won 4-3 away at a decent Al-Shabab side, won 3-2 at Al-Hazem, lost 3-0 at home to Al-Taawon and won 3-2 with Al Wehda, so they conceded at least 2 goals every time but 4 of those 5 latest games of theirs in the league ended with over 4.5 goals scored in them.
Two teams from relegation zone and they are there only because their defenses are horrible,Aston villa keep the clean sheet just 3 times at home this season and I expect from them to be able to at least stop the Norwich attack and on the other side,Norwich have worst defense in the league and it is not a surprise they are on bottom of the table. Both teams are winless on last 5 games in a row and I think their confidence is not on high level so I Will go here with under 2.5 goals and I expect vila or Norwich to win with 1 0
It is a penalty. Disgraceful decision' to give United penalty Bruno Fernandes benefited from the penalty he won - by scoring his eighth Manchester United goalMoments after Trezeguet hit the post for Villa, United won a penalty which Fernandes converted to set them on their way to a 3-0 win. The Portuguese pirouetted on the ball and appeared to catch Villa defender Ezri Konsa's leg - but referee Jon Moss awarded a penalty, a decision supported by the VAR.
England striker Ellen White says she still "can't stand video assistant referees" after having a goal ruled out in the World Cup semi-final defeat by the USA last summer. White thought she had equalised to make it 2-2 in the second half before VAR deemed her to be marginally offside. USA went on to win 2-1 after Steph Houghton had a late penalty saved and centre-back Millie Bright was sent off. I do sit at home and think 'ahh, I just can't stand VAR!'," said White.
BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson has taken a look at all eight ties and given his verdict on who will make it into the quarter-finals - and Hot Property star Yung Filly has made his predictions too. From Raheem Sterling to Mason Mount, Tammy Abraham and Joe Gomez, Filly has interviewed a lot of Premier League players. He was a keen footballer himself until he tore his anterior cruciate ligament in 2019.
Despite the awful defensive stats under Kombouaré, les Violets actually created the ninth most chances in Ligue 1 during the New Caledonian's tenure and we think this could do some damage against Brest. The visitors have just one clean sheet on the road this season with 24 goals conceded in their 12 games so we're backing this one to finish 2-1 to the hosts.
While Leipzig have enjoyed life at the Red Bull Arena of late, Cologne have struggled away from home this season. They have lost nine of their 11 Bundesliga away games. Furthermore, Cologne have also conceded at least two goals in nine of their last 11 Bundesliga away games. Cologne have also been struggling at the back in recent weeks. They have conceded at least two goals in each of their last four competitive games.
The hosts are just newly promoted to the first league level this start of the season and in early stages they did play away in Larnaca and ended up losing the game with no less than 5-1 in the end and it came as no surprise as despite the fact that Larnaca is struggling this season to finish inside the top 6 places at this moment and qualify once more for the Europa League with competition being fierce for those top 6 places, they have an excellent record in games with Achnas.
The striker then made sure of taking the match-ball home just after the hour mark, as she escaped her marker with a crafty near-post run and secured the three points for Everton and three goals for herself. Anke Preuß It may have taken 12 games, and they may have only scored four goals in that time, but Liverpool finally have a first WSL victory of the season, and they have no one more than Anke Preuß to thank for it.
But, despite the physical realities of the surgery and rehabilitation that she has had to go through, it is the mental struggles that have been the biggest barrier to Welsh's recovery. She added: "The physical side of the rehab is easy, it's the mental side which is the hard part and I don't think I'm totally over it – I don't have full confidence in going into challenges.
Barcelona will travel to face Leganés, the team that is currently in the last place of La Liga. It has not been a very easy ride for Barcelona so far but they still have chances to get to the first place and winning this kind of matches on the road against the weakest teams in the league is mandatory and we don't expect them to fail here. The difference between the two sides is huge and Barcelona should be able not only to get the win but to do it by a two goal margin with good value on this handicap.
That put the result beyond doubt, although Real Madrid were reduced to 10 men when Ferland Mendy was shown a second yellow card seven minutes from the end. TALKING POINT - Is Karim Benzema the best striker in world football right now? Another game, another Benzema goal. Another Benzema assist. The Frenchman is Real Madrid’s main man, the player who sets the tone for everyone on the pitch.
very interesting match,Paris is one of the worst teams in the league right now and they scored just 6 goals in the whole season at home but that is not a problem for them because on the other hand,Rodez scored just 6 goals on the road the whole season and both of them are in very bad shape so first goal for them will be to avoid defeat tomorrow and I think they are not going to risk a lot in second half and I think they will take this draw for sure, and the low odd is telling the same story!

Your time has come. Now seize it. Chelsea have agreed personal terms with Ajax winger Hakim Ziyech over a five-year-deal which will see the Morocco international move to Stamford Bridge for 40m euros (£33. The clubs reached an agreement for 26-year-old Ziyech, who will remain at the Eredivisie leaders for the rest of the season, earlier this month. I am proud to have signed for such a huge club as Chelsea," said Ziyech.
The 22-year-old produced a masterclass in midfield excellence. The Ajax midfielder was everything England were not on a chastening evening for Gareth Southgate’s side; the Barcelona-bound schemer as composed and poised as England were ragged and frayed. Much of England’s travails emanated from a midfield - shorn of two of its usual starters in Dele Alli and Jordan Henderson - devoid of the technical competence to match their opponents.
The Lucas (Moura) goal in Amsterdam (against Ajax). To arrive in the final is an achievement but not history. The Portuguese also said that Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen, whose contract runs out this season, was committed to the club. I've spoken with him. The important thing is that he's committed with us so let's not talk about his future," Mourinho said.
Fulham were recently ticking along nicely, they'd won four on the bounce and were a reasonable distance behind the top two, though after back-to-back losses, things don't look as good for Scott Parker's men.
Assisted by Anwar El Ghazi with a cross. Posted at 55' Foul by Chris Basham (Sheffield United). Chris Wood scored the only goal as Burnley ended a run of three straight defeats with victory over Newcastle at Turf Moor. The New Zealand striker powered home Ashley Westwood's corner from about two yards out shortly before the hour for his seventh Premier League goal of the season. In a game of few chances, Jack Cork had the opportunity to double Burnley's lead but saw his effort well saved by Martin Dubravka.
Benfica have in the last two matches gone through their roughest patch in their last 15 matches, as they failed to win any of them – losing one and drawing the other. They have no clean sheet in their last four matches and have conceded two or more goals in three of their last four matches. They have lost just one of the last 19 matches and three of their last four matches have produced over 4.
