We had an opportunity to take a big step tonight and we've tripped up. It's not fatal, it feels like it but it's not, so we dust ourselves down and we go again. Relive Friday's Championship actionListen to the latest Football Daily podcastHatters raise their game after poor opening periodBoth sides desperately needed the points but neither showed that in a sluggish first half. Huddersfield had most of the possession before the break, and while they got into good wide areas, all too often their final ball was poor.

For years we have asked for severe action against Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, we finally have a good example of action and we hope to see more this way. Better late than never. No one should kid themselves that this punishment means City will disappear as an elite force. Juventus were relegated to Serie B for their role in the Caliopoli scandal but were back dominating Serie A within five years.
With Spanish soccer on hold along with most live sports while the world fights the coronavirus pandemic, players traded the pitch for Playstation in an online tournament organised by esports commentator Ibai Llanos and endorsed by La Liga.

Tottenham's players are due to have their first training session with new boss Jose Mourinho this afternoon, having been given the morning off to allow the Portuguese boss to meet all the key personnel at the club.
Van Dijk: We've seen Virgil van Dijk marshal his defence with grace and tackle like a steam train when needed but I have never seen him score two headers like a striker before. The way he took his second goal from another beautifully delivered Alexander-Arnold ball was superb. John Toshack couldn't have put the ball into the net any better. Brighton were 2-0 down before they had time to draw breath.
The first round of the season already has a top match with the top 2 teams of last season playing against each other. Ki are the current champions and already had a great start by winning the super cup from HB Torshavn. In the last 4 home games of last season KI scored 3 goals in each match.

Hopefully the club will find the right one," Ferguson said.

Last season's Champions League semi-finalists Ajax are out of the Europa League after being beaten 3-2 on aggregate by Getafe over two legs. Ajax, who were 2-0 down from the first game, went behind early on as Jaime Mata opened the scoring for Getafe. Danilo quickly levelled for Ajax, before Mathias Olivera scored an own goal for the Spanish side in the second half to put Ajax 2-1 up. But Erik ten Hag's men, top of the Dutch Eredivisie by three points, could not find a way past the resilient Getafe, despite enjoying 70% of possession.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy said "people need to wake up to the enormity" of the coronavirus pandemic as the club announced 550 non-playing staff will take a 20% pay cut. Levy, who earned £7m last year - £4m in wages plus £3m for the completion of Tottenham's stadium move - is among the non-playing directors and employees at the club who will take a cut in salary, initially for April and May. The club will also use the government's furlough scheme in an attempt to "protect jobs".
Bolton have shown that they're capable of winning games at home, while they're scoring plenty of goals. This is crucial. Shrewsbury have really struggled to find the net on the road, which could prove to be costly on Sunday. The visitors can keep teams at bay, but their attacking inefficiencies make them look worth opposing. Punters are advised to opt for a small bet on 'Bolton Draw No Bet'.
Yes they have got people such as Pablo Hernandez or Helder Costa who are technically gifted and can do things off the cuff, but Bielsa's way of playing is drilled into everyone. Media playback is not supported on this device Arteta admits Gunners need to improve 'many things' They have got so many back-up players who can operate in very similar ways to the first-team regulars so, even if he rests some people on Monday, you will see a blueprint of the Leeds way under Bielsa.
It is hard to make a case for the visitors to walk away with anything other than the three points in this contest as they are good on the road, in a rich vein of goalscoring form and are at the top of their game right not. All of this is a stark contrast to their hosts who have no manager, are struggling to find the back of the net and seemingly incapable of earning three points.
Mourinho, appointed Tottenham manager last Wednesday after the sacking of Mauricio Pochettino, added: "We have the best striker in England. It doesn't make sense to sign him when we have Harry Kane. He's won at every club he's gone to' - Mourinho can end Spurs trophy drought, says KaneEngland captain Kane scored twice last Saturday as Tottenham won 3-2 at West Ham in the Premier League. He now has 175 goals in 269 games for Spurs, overtaking Martin Chivers to move third on the club's all-time top scorer list.
We’re going to assume that both sides poured forward with an abandon that would make Kevin Keegan blush, but were frustrated by two goalkeepers having Football Manager-like super-games, and that ultimately this was the greatest 1-0 that nobody actually watched. What’s Portuguese for “the money was just resting in my account”? The Portuguese authorities have been busy.
Joao Pedro pulled back the ball from near the corner and it ran on to Nainggolan whose low drive from 25 metres took a deflection and went in off the foot of the post. Romelu Lukaku was centimetres away from putting Inter back in front but their frustration boiled over in stoppage time with Martinez's red card.
Earlier in the season there were some doubts about their ability to compete on both fronts, but recently those doubts have been swept away by a wave of optimism. The Midlands club have won their last two league outings and managed a shock 2-0 win over Manchester City back in October, so there certainly doesn’t seem to be any sign of second season syndrome surfacing.
Only five home league games have been won this season by Brighton. They had gone four without a win before the victory over the Gunners. Three of their last five at home have been drawn but only Crystal Palace have beaten them in their last six home league fixtures.

HAALAND RECORD Teenager Erling Haaland has become the first player in the history of the Bundesliga to score nine goals in his first six matches after scoring in their 2-0 victory over Werder Bremen.

Three teams separated by three points, with almost identical goal difference and only one Premier League place available. Sunday's Premier League season climax is set to be a nerve-shredding one for teams battling to avoid relegation. Norwich are certain to finish bottom of the table - and two from Aston Villa, Watford and Bournemouth will join them in the Championship next season. Tuesday was a significant day in the battle to avoid against the drop.
This is going to be an interesting game with the top three in the group all in with a chance of qualifying for the last sixteen. Ajax will want to avoid a worrying night by going out and winning the game and the group. Valencia are second going into this match but need to equal Chelsea's result or they are off to the Europa League. Valencia won away at Chelsea but that was right at the start of the group and recent away form is disappointing. Go for Ajax to get the home win in this game.

One of the scariest moments came in October 2011, a day when it could have ended even before it really got started. Celtic trailed Rangers by 10 points at the top of the league and found themselves 3-0 down at half-time at Rugby Park. That was a pivotal moment," he recalls. It's a bit of a walk down to the tunnel and I was looking at our fans and I said to myself, 'I'm not giving this up just yet'.
Meanwhile, Middlesbrough have only won one of their last 12 Championship games (D5 L6), though it was their last such home match against Barnsley (1-0). Their return to form at home comes just as they reunite with Charlton, a side who they’ve had a hold over in recent years. Middlesbrough have won five of their last six home matches against Charlton in all competitions (W5 D1).
Newcastle defied statistical probability in the first half of the season. They were scoring goals from irregular positions, the scorers of those goals being irregular contributors. Finally, it appears as though their luck has run out. Steve Bruce needs a tactical rethink or his team is in serious relegation trouble. We see Burnley winning this game comfortably.

This is a very tricky game. Atletico Madrid faces Barcelona in a difficult game for both parties. Barcelona is in better shape and form and that will influence a lot. I think they have a superior team in every way and it will show the experience. Atletico Madrid has a solid defensive e plan and that might give them some points, but the team is weaker, true they play at home where they are strong but their team is younger and less experienced. Expect a great game and I will give Atletico a chance and go for them DC
He made amends, however, by setting up the winning goal in the 71st minute. Ibrahimovic pulled the ball back from the byline and, after a scramble in the area, Rebic turned it from close range. The win continued a mini-revival for Milan, who are unbeaten since Ibrahimovic returned for a second stint at the club in January.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic's cross was behind Mkhitaryan but the midfielder rapidly readjusted, arcing his foot to send a barely believable backheel looping past Jordan Pickford. It was a strike never to be repeated - at least not until Olivier Giroud scored an even better version just five days later. Arsenal fail to deliverSouthampton 4-0 Arsenal (26 December 2015) The Gunners have only played five times on Boxing Day this decadeArsenal's demise has been a feature of the past decade and Boxing Day 2015 summed up Arsene Wenger's side's decline.

I bet on all 3 of Naftan games so far this start of the season and ended up losing every time, first I bet on over 2.5 goals when they played away from home at FC Gomel, it ended 0-0. Second game with Lida at home I took another bet on over 2.5 goals and it ended just 1-1. And 3rd game I bet on the league leaders at the time Lokomotiv Gomel to beat them at home, and they did take the lead early on but from that point Naftan missed a penalty kick and even so made it 3-1 in the second half only to draw 3-3 in the end.

The midfielder almost had a goal inside eight minutes, his deflected strike hitting the outside of the post as the hosts pinned Villa into their own half in the opening stages. Djenepo then got to the byeline and his awkward-looking centre with the outside of his right foot found Long, who was able to convert at the near post for his third goal in six games. Danny Ings and Djenepo were denied by Reina but Saints remained on top after the break, with captain Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg forcing a low save from the veteran Spanish keeper.
In contrast, their opponents on Saturday Newcastle, have played themselves into their best form of the season in recent weeks and the Magpies came from behind to beat Southampton at St. James' Park on Sunday, scoring an 87th minute winner that is certain to galvanize their new found momentum.
For me, this is match who will bring few goals tonight in Dutch Cup and in this moment, I think that, at least three, are more than ok and real option. Feyenoord is of course, huge favorite and team who in this moment can beat almost all rivals in this country. They are in excellent form and they are easy scored almost on average three goals in few last weeks, against all rivals. NAC Breda is team who is also in good form, but they are team from second division and they are just not have chances in this duel.
Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi has become the first Premier League player to test positive for coronavirus. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is self-isolating after also testing positive for the virus.

Thursday's visitors are in a reasonable position just a point behind both Roma and Gladbach, but they've got there thanks to two wins against the weakest team in the group. Against the Italians, Basaksehir struggled, losing 4-0 on the road and 0-3 at home. In contrast, Gladbach beat Roma at home (2-1) and drew in Italy (1-1). Such results are telling.
Team-mate James Rodriguez has also been absent from recent matchday squads, with Zidane stating after the 5 July visit to Athletic Bilbao that the Colombian had asked to be left out. Speaking after Sunday's final league game, the Frenchman gave only a brief response when asked about the pair's absence from the squad. The situation changes all the time. You know what has happened with James, and Bale has been a technical decision, nothing more," said the three-time Champions League winning coach.
It was also a triumph of tactics over his former mentor Jose Mourinho who, as Chelsea manager 15 years ago, turned Lampard from a promising player into the club's all-time top goal-scorer and one of England's best midfielders of his age. Lampard's Chelsea were in control from start to finish on Sunday.
