Cresswell looked to have produced the only blot on an otherwise blemish-free day for West Ham when referee Graham Scott showed him a straight red for a needless tackle on Fraser, but it was Scott who was left red-faced when VAR overturned his decision. Bournemouth's woes continueFour changes were also the order of the day for Eddie Howe's Cherries as they looked to start 2020 in better fashion than 2019 had ended - but it did not go to plan.
In at number two is Luis Suarez's backheeled chip* - the scenes of it. A backheel is good, a chip is good but together? The sly old dog. In at number one Son Heung-min running the length of a football pitch in 12 seconds flat. Cards on the table, Suarez would have been number one had La Liga not butchered the build up out of their highlights.
In this scenario, Barnet edge the final play-off place on goal difference with Stockport dropping to eighth, but the top six stays the same. Play each other once Yeovil and Bromley would be the main benefactors of this scenarioOf course, the problem with both of the examples above is that teams have not played everybody else an equal number of times. Fifth-placed Boreham Wood only had one side in the top half of the table left to play and still had to face five of the bottom seven sides.
China says they are being educated in "vocational training centres" to combat violent religious extremism. Arsenal is always apolitical as an organisation," the London club said. Following social media messages from Mesut Ozil on Friday, Arsenal Football Club must make it clear that these are Mesut's personal views. The Gunners' statement was published on Chinese social media site Weibo. In his post Ozil, who is a Muslim, called Uighurs "warriors who resist persecution" and criticised both China and the silence of Muslims in response.

The Spain international, born in Bilbao to a Ghanaian father and a Liberian mother, was the subject of racist chants in January when Athletic drew 1-1 at Espanyol in La Liga after he was substituted. The Catalan club identified 12 fans who had been involved in the abuse. Williams told Movistar programme 'Universo Valdano' on Monday that Athletic will stop playing even if they are automatically handed a defeat.
Southampton said that players, coaches and the board of directors deferring their salary will "help protect the future of the club, the staff that work within it and the community we serve". Over the past few weeks, there has been considerable pressure on Premier League players, including from leading politicians, to take pay cuts. But Ward-Prowse, who has two England caps, said: "It was never about doing it quickly or facing any pressure, it was about making sure we made the right decision for the people and the community and we definitely have done that.
Real Betis have conceded two goals or more in four of their last five home matches. Real Madrid have not scored against Real Betis in the last two meetings. Real Madrid have one loss in 13 away matches. Real Betis have the third weakest defence in La Liga this season.

Diriangen fc is here to heal their wound they have after a strong defeat when they were away from home to Juventus Managua fc, they have conceded three goals and they didn't find even a consolation goal so they are going to recover from that loss.
Bolivar is one of the best teams in Bolivia but it was not so last season. Bolivar plays much better on this pitch than away, so I expect them to win today. They have won 3 games in the previous 3 games with a goal difference of 10-1.
As City strenuously deny those charges, it has been business as usual on the pitch, with more silverware heading to Etihad Stadium. This should have been a win secured in relative comfort but a failure to put Villa away completely led to anxiety and they needed a superb late save from the often-criticised 36-year-old Chilean keeper Claudio Bravo to turn Bjorn Engels' header on to the upright. City still have that soft underbelly in defence, which Guardiola will presumably address in the summer.

Huddersfield come into this one unbeaten in nine of their last 10 matches in the league, having drawn 1-1 in their last two matches. We expect them to pull off a similar result against a Bristol City side who have drawn four and lost none of their last seven at home. Following back to back draws at Ashton Gate, a 1-1 draw is our correct score pick.
Video - Why Neymar 'holds key' to Coutinho's Liverpool return - Euro Papers01:48 Leipzig’s dream form Angelino (loan from Manchester City) Patrik Schick (loan from Roma) Thought Leipzig were dark horses to win the Champions League? Forget it. Manchester City won’t be interested in boosting their rivals’ chances by extending the loan of Angelino – one of the standout performers from the two-leg dismantling of Tottenham – while Patrik Schick could yet be held hostage by Roma when his loan ends.
Having collected just one point from their last seven matches, Hearts are in terrible form and go into this derby with absolutely no confidence. On paper, Daniel Stendel looked a good appointment when he came in a couple of weeks ago but he's already lost his first three games in charge to St Johnstone, Celtic and Hamilton respectively and simply hasn't had the desired effect.
Barca are in poor financial shape, and hiring would be complicated by the fact that the season has been extended by the coronavirus pandemic. Club legend Xavi, the number one target when Valverde was fired in January, appears unwilling to take over until president Josep Maria Bartomeu leaves his post next year, and other potential candidates have not exactly been rushing forward. But there is the option to promote B team boss Francisco Javier Garcia Pimienta temporarily.

The Mariners, bottom of the 11-team league, are in danger of anchoring the division for the third season in a row. They are seven points from safety and if results continue as they are, they won't get out of this jam in a hurry. Melbourne City, meanwhile, hold the second spot, which would see them enter the Finals series at the semi-final stage.
On paper, Tricolor have the ability to get out of the mess they are in but that's been said throughout the season and they are now rapidly running out of time and games. Having recently won away at 5th place Sao Paulo, the visitors certainly have the credentials to secure victory on the road again on Monday but it really depends on whether they can hold their nerve or not.
Another match from Ukraine for Sunday and another duel where I see easy job for guests, similar like in match Mariupol - Shakhtar Donetsk. So, Olimpik Donetsk is team who will be fight for survival in league this season. Dynamo Kiev, on the other side is better team and that is clear. Team is have minimal chances to win title here in Ukraine, but in Europe, they are generally playing better. I was watched therm in amazing match against Malmo in Sweden, in duel where they are lost 3-4. Yes, this match is ideal for goals and I will try that here.

Motherwell's Declan Gallagher and Rangers' Ryan Jack were shown yellow cards after a half-time confrontation, and Morelos soon received the first of his two yellows for a late challenge on Jake Carroll. Gillespie pushed away Ryan Kent's drive, and at the other end Allan McGregor also had to produce heroics - throwing up an arm to push away Long's header from two yards out. It was to prove a crucial moment, with Morelos making it 2-0 when he collected Aribo's cross, stepped away from Gallagher, and drove the ball into the net.
We are fighting for a place in the Champions League and we know we can achieve this," said Fernandes.

When TV cop Saga Noren speeds across the Oresund Bridge to Copenhagen it is often a matter of life and death. When Malmo FF make the same journey on Thursday it will be much more important than that.

I tried to avoid my phone the first three or four days," he said. I tried to take time to really understand what happened and what was going to happen next. But I had a lot of people texting me. For example, I remember Danny Welbeck, Aaron Ramsey, Alan Shearer, who all had really bad injuries as well. It was unbelievable. I spoke with a few players. Seamus was one of them. He had a horrific injury.
I want to thank my team mates and the U. S. Dutchman Matthijs de Ligt, a key player in Ajax Amsterdam's thrilling run to the Champions League semi-finals and now at Juventus, won the Kopa trophy for the best Under-21 male player in the world following a vote of international journalists.

There's been real progress in recent years, and we look forward to the next government, whichever party that happens to be, working with the football authorities to help make it happen.
That is what Bale has done throughout his Wales career: produce the moments which provide a nation with a lifetime's worth of memories. But his tournament was about more than football. Bale emerged as the team's statesman, speaking passionately about Welsh pride and with articulate confidence about his nation's blossoming on this grand stage. He will not have the chance to do so again this summer but, when Euro 2020 comes around next year, Bale will be Wales' great ambassador once more, a national hero.
This will be one of the most interesting matches today in Premier league and we will see who will win. Tottenham is became much better in last few weeks, when they are changed coach. Even they are not winning easy and in the same time, they are receiving goals in every match, the fact is that they have new energy, from the moment, when Mourinho is take the club. In match against Olympiacos, it was 4-2 and I believe this match will be similar. Guests from South are team who is have fast players and it will be very interesting.
Chelsea felt the full force of the new manager bounce at Goodison Park in their last outing. The Blues were turned over 3-1 by a hard-running and hard-tackling Everton outfit that looked completely reinvigorated under interim boss Duncan Ferguson.
Former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino says he is "open to listen to projects" in Europe as he plans a return to management. The 47-year-old spent five-and-a-half years in charge of Spurs before being sacked last month and replaced by Jose Mourinho.

The 2013 Danish Cup with Esbjerg is his only silverware to date. Who better to describe his style of play than Braithwaite himself? In an interview with Barcelona's TV channel this week after joining, he said: "I'm a technical player. Also physical - I'm fast, I'm strong. My best attribute is my intelligence. I move intelligently and study the game. I call myself a football student. I think the way we play here my movements will help the team a lot.
