Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have been wrestling for domination at the lip of world football’s Reichenbach Falls for what seems like an aeon now, but both are advancing ever further into their thirties.

He now has the added problem of one of his best attacking players, Ryan Fraser, having taken himself out of the equation by announcing he would not extend his contrast beyond 30 June, thus finishing his Bournemouth career. Given the fact Bournemouth have not taken a single point away from home in 2020 it is clear the Vitality is their best hope of survival - but not on this evidence. Howe has a big reputation.

Reaction and analysis from Turf MoorBurnley rue missed chancesBurnley entered this game on the back of league victories over Leicester and Manchester United, and will wonder how they did not make it three in a row.

Maybe we can organise it between us when we are allowed to, but it will not be the same like in other pre-seasons. View more on twitterKlopp said he was glad his players had had a "real rest" during nine weeks off in lockdown as opposed to two or three weeks of holiday per year. However, he added: "Of course, you cannot rest when you are worried about the situation in the world, not in the same way like you do on a proper holiday.
Jan Vertonghen scored a dramatic late winner as Tottenham ended Wolves' 11-match unbeaten Premier League run to narrow the gap on the top four with victory at Molineux. Vertonghen headed in from a corner in injury time, after Wolves' relentless approach had been rewarded as Adama Traore thumped in a deserved equaliser from the edge of the box midway through the second half. Following a breathless opening period, Lucas Moura's mazy run and exquisite finish into the roof of the net had put Tottenham ahead after eight minutes.
It was a massive challenge for him to play against Troy Deeney," Klopp added. So many other centre-halves would struggle in this specific situation, Joe has had problems as well. Losing the first ball is never the problem, because Troy cannot score from there, so it's about formations around that. Both Dejan and Joel Matip have played sensational games for us in this position but you need to be healthy and fit and when you are fit you need rhythm and that is the most difficult thing to get in football.

Really great odds on Inter to be winning this game by a couple of goals difference as even in Bulgaria they won the first leg with 2-0 in the end as there was a clear difference in terms of class between these two teams and it was indeed expected as in the group stage of the Europa League, Ludogorets despite finishing ahead of Ferencvaros and CSKA Moscow they lost with no less than 6-0 away from home in Spain at Espanyol.

Goodison is usually such an intimidating ground in terms of the backing Everton get, especially against Liverpool, and the players usually feed of that derby atmosphere.

Plying his trade in the Chinese Super League with Shanghai Shenhua, lifelong United fan Ighalo emerged as the answer to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's striker shortage on Friday and agreed a six-month deal. So, how did the Old Trafford side get here? And what can they and their supporters expect from the 30-year-old Nigeria forward?

Did you know? Since the Premier League resumed in June, Willian has either scored (four) or assisted (two) six league goals in five matches - as many as he was involved in across his previous 19 league appearances beforehand. Henderson: Barely eight minutes had gone and the game was over. Liverpool punished Brighton for having the audacity to think they could outplay the champions.

It is also very likely that Premier League clubs will be keen to sign him.

It's now been a month since Graham Westley was brought in, Stevenage's third manager of the season, but not a great deal has changed, as they're still searching for a first win since October.

They have at least kept things tight in general, conceding just one in their last three.
Iran retaliated on Wednesday by firing missiles at military facilities housing U. S. Iraq. U. S.
