Ludogorets and Slavia Prague kick off their Europa League campaign at the Huvepharma Arena on Wednesday.. Ludogorets v Slavia Prague LIVE 25/09/2024 | Football Yes, they missed his flair and creativity at times in their deserved 1-1 draw at West Ham but Newcastle coped just fine without the Frenchman. Always I push him to score more goals, Guardiola said. Not talking about how good he is, he has everything. He has the ability to score more goals. Today in his city, from the rivals Benfica, I'm sure he's happy. That form saw the striker win December's Player of the Month in a double alongside his manager and he insists there is more to come under the Dutchman. But it was West Ham who were the more threatening after the interval with Meslier saving with his feet from Bowen and Fredericks fizzing a shot across goal and wide. However, despite their focus really being elsewhere, West Ham put in a decent show at Chelsea, and it may prove a worthwhile exercise for Moyes as many of his fringe players got useful minutes at what is a crucial time of the season. But it was Neil Critchley's battling side who nearly took the lead against the run of play. It was a quite brilliant double block. We scored some good goals, we worked extremely hard. Delighted for the goalkeeper and defence that they kept a clean sheet. Leicester pulled one back five minutes before the break when Forest keeper Brice Samba went charging out of his goal allowing Kelechi Iheanacho to put the ball into an empty net from a tight angle. The creator of the second, Gocholeishvili, produced a fine solo effort, cutting in from the right, nutmegging Luke Thomas and travelling unopposed into the box before finishing. The pair returned to the Reds’ starting line-up for the win at Burnley on Sunday, despite their exploits in Cameroon, where they both played seven gruelling matches before Mane’s Senegal beat Salah’s Egypt on penalties in the final. He scored eight times in 17 appearances before returning to France for this campaign. So far in 2021-22, he has eight goals in 19 Ligue 1 appearances. The result and the performance will give Lage plenty of food for thought heading into what promises to be a far less enjoyable summer than the one Brighton boss Graham Potter can look forward to. McEneff made sure of victory when he ran on to a pass from fellow sub Mackay-Steven and clipped the ball over Siegrist with four minutes left. Chelsea will be even more delighted now. Thomas Tuchel just needs to get record-signing Romelu Lukaku to be more prolific. Spanish newspaper Marca reports on Ralf Rangnick’s declaration that he will not fight to keep Paul Pogba at Manchester United if he wants to leave. The German disagreed with the decision to let him recover abroad from his current injury, and with half a year left on his contract, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are ready to sign him on a free transfer. There has been plenty of discussion regarding fresh terms, as well as the player's salary demands, and no paperwork has been signed as yet to keep the rumour mill ticking over. We've had some games where we've had maybe 40 per cent possession tops, but you can still come away with some good chances and good goals. The unseeded teams are still to be determined with the second legs of the play-off round matches taking place on Thursday. James Maddison and Ricardo Pereira scored the goals, Brendan Rodgers earned praise for his substitutions, but Fofana was the catalyst. However, the nature of the issue means caution is important; we need to allow it time to heal and we can't rush it, therefore it won't be a speedy return. Eidevall is challenging for his first WSL crown - no mean feat during his first evr season in England - but not his first experience with title races, having won three league championships with Swedish side FC Rosenburg. The Swans bench were clearly incensed by the decision and their mood would not have improved when McNair's brilliant goal-line clearance prevented the visiting side from equalising seven minutes after the break.

When Neeskens Kebano delivered a sweet cross into the penalty area Bolasie leaped to head inside the top corner for his second Middlesbrough goal in consecutive home games. Since the day he first arrived at Manchester City, he's been top drawer. I am shocked at the decision, but Manchester City must have someone else in mind. His influence in matches is better than Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Mbappe, even if he does not score. Following a successful loan spell in 2000, he signed for Mallorca, where a record of 54 goals in 133 league games earned him a move to Barcelona in the summer of 2004.  The group faces competition to buy Chelsea from consortiums led by Los Angeles Dodgers co-owner Todd Boehly and co-owner of the Boston Celtics Stephen Pagliuca.

The Serbian has never been an especially all-action midfielder even in his pomp, and with other more mobile options available to Rangnick even before he strengthens his arsenal, then it could spell danger. Forster could do nothing to deny Laporte's leveller, however, with De Bruyne's assist meaning he has now been involved in 12 goals in his past 15 Premier League starts.
