Chelsea's hopes of being in Europe's top tournament next season suffered another setback after Bournemouth responded to Alonso's first-half goal with two in three second-half minutes from Jefferson Lerma and Josh King. Yet Alonso, who also scored in the Blues' big win over Tottenham Hotspur last weekend, struck to ensure fourth-placed Chelsea at least moved to 45 points, five behind third-placed Leicester City.
Leipzig, who host Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League on Tuesday, hardly made an impact in the first half but tried their lucky early in the second with shots from Yussuf Poulsen and Marcel Sabitzer. The Wolves hit back with two chances of their own, first a 77th-minute low Max Arnold drive and then a similar Xaver Schlager effort in the 89th, with both shots flying narrowly wide.
Even though Nuno Espirito Santo brought in four players who were rested from Sunday's trip to Anfield, including Adama Traore and top scorer Raul Jimenez, they did not overly trouble the hosts until the hour mark. Perhaps they were not worried by going behind given that they had previously conceded the first goal in 13 league games this season but had only lost four of those.
Cardiff City denied Swansea City a slice of south Wales derby history after the 62nd league meeting of the clubs ended in a goalless draw. Swansea arrived at the Cardiff City Stadium with a chance to claim the first league double in 108 years of this fixture. But they had to be content with a share of the spoils in a game which was long on endeavour but short on quality. The woodwork rattled twice, with Bersant Celina hitting the post for Swansea before Cardiff's Callum Paterson headed against the bar late on.
It took a fine save from Rodak at his near post to keep Fosu out on the half-hour mark as the Bees finished the first half with flurry of chances - the first of which Watkins sent over the bar with a header before while Christian Norgaard had a shot deflected just wide. Mitrovic had the ball in the back of the net for Fulham early in the second half, but the goal was quickly disallowed as the Serbian's enthusiasm to find space behind Brentford's defence saw him drift well offside.

Partizan will be meeting with the away team Subotica and this game we have given this two teams to score a total of over 2.5 goals as looking at the last games they have played together they are very used of scoring many goals
Odds are the same on both teams scoring yes or no, prefer to take them yes as it should be a relaxed atmosphere, the guests won both games at home after the restart a 4-2 win against M. Nazareth and a 1-0 win against a desperate Ashkelon side last game they did not favor to the struggling opponent but on the road they only drew 1-1 away at Hapoel Bnei Lod which is just 3rd from bottom.
In the second half we weren't so fluid and they created some good chances themselves. Toni Rudiger and Andreas Christensen were really good. Toni was aggressive - the second goal is a really great header - so I'm really pleased with him. On Willy Caballero: "His performance was pretty good - he makes a good save, he's comfortable with his feet, there was not much you could do with either goal. Chelsea still underdogs for the top four: "We were underdogs at the start of the season.
The issues are manifold at the club but a lot go back to their disastrous summer transfer window where they sold but failed to replace two strikers. Thus leaving a club of United's standing and clout reliant on Rashford and the result is two stress fractures in his back and a loose bit of bone knocking around his ankle.
West Ham and Aston Villa have been rumoured as potential destinations but if those clubs remain in the top flight, David Moyes and Dean Smith would expect to stay where they are. And if either club went down, would Dyche be happy to drop down a league? If other options became known, would they offer as much freedom as he has at Burnley?"Dyche is a totalitarian manager," said Jonathan Walters, who spent the last two injury-plagued years of his career under Dyche at Burnley before he retired in March 2019.

The loss to Bayern Munich last week was their first home league defeat of the season. Before that they had won ten and drawn three scoring 45 goals. The goal they conceded against Bayern also ended a run of four straight clean sheets. Now they have to try and win their remaining games and hope Bayern somehow slip-up.
Rangers got their first win at Celtic Park since 2010, closing the gap on the leaders to two points with a game in hand. Colombian striker Morelos was sent off in stoppage time after receiving a second booking for a dive in the box. Morelos appeared to make a gesture with his hand across his neck to Celtic fans following his dismissal.
Horn played since the first half last round at home with Liefering with 11 vs 10 men on the pitch but were still 2nd best and could not create too many scoring chances as they ended up losing two points in just a 1-1 draw with the goals being scored before the red card event happened. This while Horn is barely above the relegation zone at this moment, many goals conceded by them this season including 4 goals conceded at home from the hosts here as they lost with no less than 4-1 in front of home fans to Vorwarts earlier this season.
England opened the scoring after eight minutes in Nottingham, as the striker's predatory instincts saw her rifle in from ten yards after the Arsenal defence failed to clear their lines. The Gunners had chances to get back into the game, most notably through Vivianne Miedema, but a combination of resolute defending and wayward finishing saw the Blues hold out, until Leah Williamson fired in with five minutes remaining.
The number 24 represents the deer in an illegal but popular Brazilian numbers game.

The EFL added in a statement it believes the gambling industry should make "a financial contribution back into football". This is currently being achieved through commercial partnerships with the EFL and a number of our member clubs," they said. However, it is important that such arrangements are delivered in a responsible manner. With more than £40m a season paid by the sector to the League and its clubs, it continues to be an important part of the EFL's financial model alongside a domestic broadcasting deal worth £119m a year and a number of other key revenue streams including ticketing, sponsorship and negotiated solidarity payments achieved through the sale of media rights.
Uefa takes its responsibilities on this seriously and it is right that we offset the carbon emissions that causes. Who are the favourites?It feels pretty wide open. Will no side having 'home' advantage play a part?The bookmakers in the UK have World Cup holders France as favourites, ahead of England (who could play all but two of their games at Wembley on the way to a potential final), Belgium, Germany and Spain.
Moreover, in recent home matches, Charlton's defensive deficiencies have outweighed any attacking strengths, as they've shipped ten and scored eight, conceding two or more in four of their last five at home.
Then you kick on and in the second season there is a label on you. You are an England player, a senior international and are expected to perform at the top level consistently. The opposition learn how to deal with you better and prey on your weaknesses. There is all this expectation and pressure around you. The fun goes out of the window a little bit and you are not just rolling on momentum. I found it the hardest part of my career.

Southend's struggles continue, as does their rapid run towards relegation, though minor improvements have occurred of late. Defensively, Sol Campbell's men are still very poor; they're conceding lots of goals while the level of resistance that they're generally offering is minimal. On a more positive note, they have started to score on a much regular basis, which has allowed them to avoid defeat more regularly. The Shrimpers have lost only two of their last six, which is a vast improvement on what went before.
The table-toppers needed just two minutes to take the lead, So-Yun Ji drilling a superb free kick into the top corner despite Birmingham's teenage keeper Hannah Hampton getting a hand to it.

Anthony Martial, who is also closing in on a double century of United games, rose highest to nod in from another inch-perfect Mata cross to seal victory before the hour mark. Full-back Williams should have scored for the hosts but somehow blazed his effort high into the Stretford End from two yards out with the goal gaping wide open, but Mason Greenwood came off the bench to stroke in a lovely fourth.

But can he help Inter to rival Juventus? Given his inconsistency and struggles against top opposition, it's unlikely. He made Spurs far better – but he still wasn't enough to help turn them into serious title challengers. It's perhaps why Real Madrid were reluctant to meet Tottenham's £100 million price tag.
They've not exactly thrived on home soil, but Hamilton have struggled big time on the road, winning none of their seven travelling matches. On a slightly more positive note, Brian Rice's men have drawn more than they've lost away from home. That said, their results don't exactly point towards them doing well against a side of Celtic's quality. Hamilton have either drawn or lost away against Ross County, St. Johnstone, Hearts and Livingston, all of whom currently reside in the bottom six.
Brighton chief executive Paul Barber has encouraged Premier League players to speak up if worried over coronavirus return-to-training protocols.

In sport, nobody truly knows where to draw the line between mental toughness and luck. But the victors usually get to write their own history, and Arsenal can legitimately claim that they earned the right to play by toughing it out during a difficult first half.

SHEFFIELD, England, Nov 24 (Reuters) - Oli McBurnie's stoppage-time equaliser earned Sheffield United a 3-3 draw against Manchester United at Bramall Lane in the Premier League on Sunday after the visitors had been on the verge of a thrilling comeback victory.
