Referee Paolo Valeri did not initially award the penalty but pointed to the spot after going over to review the incident on the pitchside monitor. Ronaldo slotted his kick straight down the middle. Before the late drama it was another veteran, 42-year-old Gianluigi Buffon, who had been the game's star performer. The Juve goalkeeper, who first won this trophy in 1999, made good saves from Rebic and Hernandez before a superb one-handed stop pushed a Zlatan Ibrahimovic effort into the side-netting.
The strength of the Chelsea side should shine through in the end and they should do enough to claim the win without the need of a replay. We’re predicting that the side will run out 3-1 winners, a scoreline that gives us plenty of value, underlines the strength in depth that Chelsea have but also shows Nottingham Forest to be a bit more than pushovers when it comes to this contest.
Williams, who is now at Millwall, played for Sporting in 2009 and 2010. My time at Sporting Fingal was incredible,” he said. It was an exciting, young hungry bunch of players wanting to do well. I believe if the club had survived we would have won a lot more trophies in the coming years and progressed in Europe. Ger O’Brien added: “The season was great. We were only five points behind Shamrock Rovers and Bohemians - two of the biggest clubs in the country.
They are in a perfect state of health. Lanus thank the police and legal authorities for their prompt action in this case. A report in the daily newspaper La Nacion and other Argentine media said Valenti was taken after going out to buy a pizza. His agent negotiated his release and a ransom of between $2,000 and $3,000 was paid, the reports said.
It's the people who are seriously ill in hospital that we need to worry about, not footballers who are fit and healthy, and who aren't showing any signs of being unwell. No Championship matches have been played since 8 March, with the season suspended five days later. There has been no specific date set for a resumption, although the EFL said in a statement earlier this month that Championship clubs have "indicated that it is their wish to play on and conclude the season".
While one ever-so-slightly more meaningful wait appears to be over for Liverpool, this particular one is set to clock at least 68 years. It was, however, a significantly better day for Crystal Palace, who became the first side to win on a leap year day in Premier League history. A 1-0 victory at Brighton in Saturday's early kick-off was, granted, just the third game to be played in the competition on 29 February - but after games between Leeds and Liverpool (2-2) and Portsmouth and Newcastle (1-1) ended level in 2004, the Eagles seized their chance.
The good news for Spurs was that they only lost 1-0. If you were being cruel you could call it a moral victory given how Leipzig carved Spurs open, only the heroic keeper Hugo Lloris keeping the scoreline within manageable proportions. It was almost unbroken frustration from start to finish, with Leipzig actually creating four chances inside the first 90 seconds during which Lloris turned Angelino's shot onto the post and blocked Timo Werner.
With Liverpool eyeing a first league title since 1990, the Reds are expected to field a second-string side, as they did in the third-round win over Everton, which Edwards hopes will provide Shrewsbury with an opportunity. Whoever walks out there in a red shirt, Liverpool are still an institution. It's still a memorable occasion," he added. It's a chance to put some pressure on, get a draw at the very least and then take them back to Anfield.
Goals from Cabrera, Jorge Molina, Angel and Timor sealed a facile 4-0 success for Getafe at home to Levante on Matchday 15, and the Madrid based outfit are homing in on the top four after accruing 11 points from their last five games.

We see Inter slipping up at the back in this clash, having seen both teams score in four of their last five matches. Meanwhile, their Coppa Italia record is filled with issues, having kept a single clean sheet in this competition in their last eight matches. Last term they saw 10 goals across two matches in this competition, so high-scoring Cagliari should get in on the act in this trip.
Pochettino to Real Madrid is a line that has been put around plenty in recent years and it could still happen, but of course one thing that now will not is a return to the Bernabeu for Jose Mourinho. And that is music to the ears of the likes of Sergio Ramos, who Spanish title Sport claim was concerned about the possibility of Florentino Perez bringing him in to replace Zinedine Zidane amid the struggles of his own second spell at the club.

And his selection for a game in which he did not feature has a tongue-in-cheek dig at the Gunners' north London rivals Tottenham, in the shape of the thrilling 2-2 draw at Chelsea, which saw the end of their 2015-16 title challenge. One game he did not include - but was inevitably asked about - is a notoriously fiery 0-0 draw between Arsenal and Manchester United at Old Trafford in September 2003. In a scene evocative of the rivalry between the clubs, Keown aggressively jumps over United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy after the Dutchman misses a penalty.
People now say since I arrived that Dele has scored three or four goals in the Premier League and one or two goals in the Champions League but I don't go in that direction," Mourinho said after Spurs moved up to fifth. I go in the direction that Dele Alli was exhausted from work. I love players who are exhausted from that.

Chelsea's 1-0 win over Norwich gives them a big boost in their hunt for a Champions League spot next season.

If they can repeat that performance, they can repeat that result - but I don't see Wolves losing two games on the bounce. Lawro's prediction: 1-1Serge's prediction: 1-1 Man City v Leicester (17:30)Manchester United exposed Manchester City's defensive flaws with their fast counter-attacks that helped them win the derby at the start of December. Can Leicester do the same? Well, United had Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Daniel James running at City - with the Foxes, it is really just Jamie Vardy who does that.
One idea being pushed forward again is to promote current Championship top two Leeds and West Brom, not relegate anyone from the top flight and go with a 22-team competition, which would increase the number of TV games and potentially avoid the need to repay this season's broadcast money. However, that would create a problem for the Football League as it would lead to an imbalance in their numbers.
It's expected that Solskjaer's side will battle Chelsea over the signing of the 23-year-old once the season is over.

Aston Villa are looking to reach the semi-finals of the EFL Cup for the first time since the 2012-13 campaign; the last Englishman to lead the Villans to the semi-final stage was John Gregory in the 1999-2000 season. Liverpool have progressed from each of their past four EFL Cup quarter-finals (2011-12, 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17) since losing 2-0 to Chelsea at this stage in 2007-08. Aston Villa's Henri Lansbury has more assists than any other player in this season's EFL Cup (five), despite playing only two matches in the competition.
In terms of a correct score tip, we think that there will be little to choose between these two sides as the hosts solid home form is cancelled out by their lack of current form while the visitors troubles on the road is balanced against their recent improvements in front of goal. Doncaster average 1.6 goals per game at home this term and have scored four times in their last four matches. Meanwhile, Accrington average just 0.73 goals per game but have that recent improvement in their favour. All of this leads us to believe that backing a 1-1 draw is the way to go.
Much like Carlisle, Cardiff have been struggling to pick up regular wins of late. Neil Harris' men have won just one of their last seven, though they've only lost one of those seven, so it's fair to say that the Bluebirds have been competing.
Leicester City copied the good habits of their main title rivals to see off an Everton side in dogged and defiant mood, trailing until well into the second half before picking up momentum from Vardy's equaliser then snatching that winner. It is what teams chasing titles do, pick up points even when they are not at their best and this was a reminder to Liverpool that the Foxes are not going away any time soon.
DISALLOWED GOAL! Doherty diverts a Jonny cross into the net and Molineux erupts, but the ball went in off his arm so it's not a goal. You don't even need VAR for that one. OFF THE POST! Jimenez runs down the right but finds himself isolated, so decides to go for goal from what looked like an impossible angle and clips the post! That was fun, but never going to result in a goal.
Everton fan Sarah Halpin, founder of 'The Bird is Blue' YouTube channel, says there may be a reluctant acceptance among supporters that Moyes might represent a decent option to stop the slide. A few months ago, or even a couple of weeks ago, your first reaction as a fan is 'do we really want to do that? Do we really want to go backwards to someone who was there?'" she told BBC Radio 5 Live. My glory days - if you like - as an Everton fan were under David Moyes and what we achieved with spending so minimal money was an overachievement really.
This is a toughie but Crystal Palace do not score enough - you look at their squad and where do the goals come from?Lawro's prediction: 2-0Sonny's prediction: 1-0 Chelsea v West HamWest Ham are a worry. I thought this would be a season they would not be so inconsistent with better players in the squad. Obviously there have been injuries, but Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini is under pressure and there is a real chance they could slip into the bottom three.
Millwall have moved into seventh place, with the playoffs within reach of the Lions.

Football match from the Romanian league and we have Chindia Targoviste playing host to Voluntari. I think for this match the host team stands the better chance to win, they are having a far much better season and it's important they keep far away from the relegating position.

That's the reality and we have to face it," Arteta added. Arsenal said in a statement https://www. May 31, 2019. The damage caused by the club not being in the Champions League for the third season is really big," Arteta said.

Whether the situation can now be recovered is a big question for interim manager Ferguson. Players who are treated in such a fashion normally respond by sticking two fingers up to the individual who had the nerve to humiliate them, in front of a 69,000 crowd at Old Trafford no less. Players are not there to be humiliated any more than managers are to be disrespected. The relationship between the two parties is crucial if they are to work but very fragile and easily broken.
A karate kick and Big Jack's little black book Jack Charlton (centre) remains Leeds' record appearance-maker with 773As the game wore on and the light faded above Old Trafford, the violence taking place on its pitch only increased.

The Reds needs 19 points from the remaining 27 to beat Manchester City's total of 100 points from 2017-18, while they could also better City's record title-winning margin of 19 points from the same campaign. Then there is, of course, the Premier League's top scorer.

Whether they will become "Invincibles" is another matter. Mo Salah now has 11 leagues goals this seasonFor all the loose talk, it takes some doing and Liverpool's players would not be human if there was not an element of switch-off in the closing weeks once the formalities are completed and when it could be that retaining the Champions League comes into sharper focus. Liverpool's elation was United's pain.
Media playback is not supported on this device FA Cup third round draw highlights Then there was the time when I was at Aston Villa and we were held to a draw by League Two side Wycombe in 2016.

There were certain fans just coming to the games so they could have a go at us because they did not think we were trying, which was not the case.

This game looking at it in a very good way we have given it an over of 2.5 total goals as the home team when they have being playing their home game they are very defensive and they are used of scoring many goals as the last time they meet in their home field they defeated away team with a score of 6-0 and so this game we can say that we will witness a lot of goals
The majority of the people at the conference are from academies so that gives me hope that in the next 10-15 years attitudes will change. But I'm counselling and a psychotherapist to many elite footballers that tell me that problems with bullying, homophobia and racism occur as much today as they ever have done. There is a huge amount of work to do and thankfully, there will be more and more people like me embedded in football clubs and we can normalise those coffee machine chats and get away from the stigma of having a psychotherapist in clubs means there is something wrong.
