Talisca put the result beyond doubt deep into stoppage time when he slammed home a penalty to all but scupper SIPG's hopes of defending the title and leave Guangzhou with the chance of securing the trophy next week. Victory for Evergrande over Hebei CFFC coupled with a loss for Beijing against Guangzhou R&F would see the title return to southern China with one round of matches to play.
It's much better than when it happened. At the time I was fearful of the worst obviously, but I got in and was able to walk again, move about," Abraham told Chelsea TV. I'm thankful, hopefully it's not too long. I'll have a scan to see what the news is but hopefully it's just a bruise. It was a knee near my hip area, hopefully it's nothing too serious.
There was a 66% rise in hate crimes reported at professional football games across England and Wales last season, according to Home Office figures. Incidents reported rose to 194 in 2018-19 and of 323 reports in the past two seasons, 230 related to racism. With 12 incidents reported, Burnley had the most of any club last season.

Luton Town welcomes Charlton Athletic in England Championship 18th round. Both teams are out of form but the visitors are more better than the host. Luton Town are struggling to escape relegation but their form is totally very poor for that, 5 league straight lost matches don't speak better for a team that want to leave relegation zone. 22 position in the league, 14 points from 17 matches, 23 goals against 32 , 4 wins in all, 2 draws and 11 lost matches. Charlton are 13th in the league with 23 points, 24 goals against 21, winning 6, 5 draws and 6 lost games. Last 4 meetings between both teams ended in over 3.5 goals.
Liverpool's Under-23s boss Neil Critchley has defended the club's decision to play their youngest-ever side in the 5-0 defeat by Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. The average age of the team was 19 years and 182 days, with Liverpool's senior side at the Club World Cup. Critchley, who took charge of the team, said: "Try telling those players it was a bad evening for them. My overwhelming feeling was one of immense pride.
Burnley average one goal per game away from home in the Premier League. Despite City only keeping two clean sheets from their last six home matches in the Premier League, we expect that Burnley average to take a hit. The Clarets have only managed one goal in their previous four matches against City. Expect the home side to deliver a clinical win with a clean sheet.
Dortmund and Mainz will face each other in the upcoming match in the German Bundesliga. Dortmund this season have the following results: 20W, 6D and 5L. Meanwhile Mainz have 9W, 4D and 18L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Wolves are still sixth in the Premier League table on 52 points, but seventh-placed Arsenal are now only three points behind. Reaction from Molineux and the rest of Saturday's Premier League gamesPerfect end to Arsenal's weekSpirits have soared at Arsenal since they made a desperate restart to the Premier League season with defeat at Manchester City and then that acrimonious late loss at Brighton, a match that also cost them goalkeeper Bernd Leno.
Fulham's third successive win sees them four points off West Bromwich Albion. The Cottagers visit the second-placed Baggies on Tuesday, 14 July, the same night that Cardiff will host another play-off contender, Derby County, by which time Swansea may have knocked them out of the play-off spots. Friday's EFL football as it happenedBoth sides made changes in attack for a contest between sides with contrasting styles.
Watford's hierarchy will argue, and they can back it up, that their expertise is in providing the conditions behind the scenes for a manager (or head coach) to do his best work on the training ground. And they will point to their recent continued presence in the Premier League without very serious relegation concerns as proof it has worked. There is no suggestion the way the club works will change any time soon.
There is no deliberate handball in there," he said. I think it is a bit of a farce rule at the moment. We've been the victims of a couple of those decisions. I still don't think it is the right decision if I am being honest. One has gone for us and we will gladly take that but I hope the game isn't dominated by that decision and is looked at as a decent performance from us. But did VAR get it correct? Kane's strike was ruled out by VAR because Moura was deemed to have handled the ball in the build-upAs frustrating as the decision was for Tottenham, VAR was not in the wrong.
Troy Deeney scored twice as Watford overcame a red card to Adrian Mariappa to beat Aston Villa 3-0 in a big game at the bottom of the table. Watford were leading 1-0 when Adrian Mariappa was shown a second yellow card in the 57th minute for upending Villa's Henri Lansbury, although replays suggested he did not make contact in an attempt to win the ball.
Raheem Sterling? Yaya Toure? David Silva? The choices don't get any easier, do they?Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United are the only multiple Premier League winners - and over the past few days we have asked you to pick your ultimate title-winning team for each club. It is City's turn on Thursday, and this is no simple task with the club having lifted the trophy four times, winning their first in 2012.
The 28-year-old said in a statement that the people in the photographs had travelled with him from Paris in a private jet and were in quarantine with him. The photograph. Neymar alongside people who are in quarantine with him, people who travelled with him from Paris to Brazil," said his spokesman in a statement published by the Globo media group in Brazil.
Spurs will be up against a United team that are flying and much improved defensively. I said before the Leipzig game Spurs needed a perfect performance to stand a chance of turning that tie around. We didn't see one, but they will need to find one at the weekend if they want anything out of that game. Jose's challenge is to try to pick his players up and convince them they can do it, but that won't be easy because they looked tired mentally and physically on Wednesday.
Earlier this month, Fifa's chief of global football development Arsene Wenger said there might be room to the change the offside law "a little bit" in response to video assistant referee controversy. The former Arsenal manager wants to refine the rules to favour the attacking player, saying they should be deemed onside if any part of their body that can score a goal is at least level with the defender, even if other parts are in front.
They can rise out of the relegation region for the first time in weeks with another three points when Preston come calling, as they are just two points away. The win over Leeds was a gritty one, but deserved due to the astute defending and with some sheer luck as Leeds went close before and after the own goal by Pablo Hernandez.
The exact score earns 40 points. LAWRO'S PREDICTIONSAll kick-offs 15:00 GMT unless stated. SATURDAY Liverpool v Bournemouth (12:30 GMT)A lot has been written and said about Jurgen Klopp's side, who have now lost three of their past four games in all competitions. I cannot help thinking of what legendary ex-Liverpool boss Bill Shankly once said to a journalist who had suggested his side had issues: "Aye, here we are with problems at the top of the league".

Last week I singled out Mason Holgate for special praise against Chelsea - this week it's Yerry Mina. Had the Colombia international got his block on Greenwood's shot the Duncan Ferguson roadshow would have continued unblemished and experienced a rare victory against Manchester United. Nevertheless Mina did enough to keep Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford quiet, something Chelsea and Manchester City failed to do.
So while Valencia have drawn more than they have won at Mestalla this season, they are well priced here at around the 11/8 mark to bag the three points. It's also important to remember these sides met four times last season, including their Europa League Quarter-Final clash; it was Los Che who came out best on three occasions, including both fixtures at Mestalla.
The FA Cup is usually seen as a welcome distraction for struggling sides, but Carlisle could use some more focus on their league campaign. The visitors come here fourth-bottom in the EFL, with pressure on them to avoid slipping into the National League. They’ve got a seven-point lead over 23rd as it stands, but that could disappear quite quickly with half the season to go.
Suwon bluewings is my choice to dominate this match because they are playing at home and looking at the records, Suwon are undefeated in their last 2 home games against Gangwon and they have won 4 of their last 6 games against Gangwon. Suwon only has 4 points after 5 games, so I expect they will be motivated for this match. Among other things with the game between Suwon Bluewings and Gangwon FC, that is the 9th placed Suwon receives the current 3rd placed Gangwon. My tip for this game is to point to be shared. I'm expecting a relatively low-goal game here and think that the game won't open.
The UEFA Champions League resumes this week and among the matches lined up, Lokomotiv Moscow hosts Bayer Leverkusen in Group D. Going to the game, both sides have three points but Lokomotiv are placed third and Leverkusen fourth. Lokomotiv beat Leverkusen 2-1 in the first meeting in the group, back in Germany and will be looking to do a double.
I am completely happy with the performance. It's so difficult to play a side like this," Klopp told BT Sport, adding he was "searching for the right words". I don't understand with the quality they have the football they play. They could play proper football but they stand deep and have counter-attacks. We accept it, of course, but it doesn't feel right tonight. I realise I am a really bad loser, especially when the boys put such an effort in against world-class players on the other side who defend with two rows of four.
It attacks all ages". Linfield player contracts coronavirusIFA suspends all football in NI until 4 AprilCrusaders' Ward puts two careers on holdDuffy played for a number of League of Ireland clubs and moved to Championship side Newry in July last year after a six-month spell in the top flight with Warrenpoint. He said: "As some of you may or may not know, I tested positive for Covid-19 two weeks ago.
Wage deferrals & cuts Blackburn Rovers last week became the latest Championship club to announce wage deferralsParry said he supported the Professional Footballers' Association's appointment of financial services firm Deloitte to look at club accounts and assesses if there was a genuine need for wages to be deferred. Our approach really is to say we're all part of the problem and so we all need to be part of the solution; the clubs, the players and the owners," he said.
He is trying to recover their high-pressure game, where they work to recover lost possession within five or six seconds. To change that is not merely a change of tactics or mentality, but also a physical change which requires the level of fitness to be able to do it. Sometimes during games at the moment the level is not always at the required standard. As things stand Messi has said himself that Barcelona do not currently have enough to win the Champions League.
The 41-year-old is quick to point out that visiting fans left the 2016 World Cup in Russia with changed views about the host country and hopes that spending time in the Gulf state will help challenge some negative views about the Arab world. Football is not exclusive to one part of the world, to one culture, to one society, football is for all of us,” he said.
Ongoing surveillance measures included in further guidance include twice-weekly testing, and a daily pre-training questionnaire and temperature check. Under a section titled 'health screening', players are also told a central register of Covid-19 test results (subject to their consent and Professional Footballers' Association agreement) will need to be maintained. Recommended "control measures" include "meticulous personal hygiene and use of PPE [personal protective equipment], no congregation in communal areas, including but not limited to medical rooms and gym areas".
We understand that these are unprecedented circumstances and want to give them security whatever may happen regarding our remaining fixtures this season. United striker Marcus Rashford has also donated a "significant" fee to a charity to help provide meals for children affected by school closures. He has partnered with FareShareUK and has been speaking to organisations about how to help ensure the most vulnerable children are reached.
After seeing off fifth-tier Langnon-Castets 3-0, they beat another Ligue 2 side, Cannes, again on penalties - which brought each of their players a huge £2,000 bonus and firmly into the public limelight. If that win caused waves, the next, against Ligue 1 Strasbourg, prompted a tsunami of public recognition. Technically a home draw, the tie was played in Lens because Calais’ 2,100-capacity stadium - usually home to 300 staunch fans on a weekend - was too small.
His second was a brilliant, instinctive finish, and he lead the line with aplomb all evening. City will need more of the same in the coming weeks. PLAYER RATINGS Burnley: Pope 7, Pieters 6, Bardsley 6, Tarkowski 5, Mee 6, Cork 6, Hendrick 5, Drinkwater 4, McNeil 6, Lennon 6, Wood 5. Subs: Barnes 6, Brady 6, Rodriguez 6.
Away from home, Eastleigh's defensive problems have often got the better of them, which is why they've conceded seven more goals than they've scored, shipping a damaging total of 25 goals in 14 travelling matches. On their travels, Eastleigh have kept zero clean sheets and have conceded two or more goals on eight occasions. Fortunately, they've scored in 79% of their away games, notching in each of their last 11, so they'll fancy themselves to notch against a less than secure home side.
Arsenal full-back Sead Kolasinac "suffered a significant right shoulder injury" during Sunday's 3-2 win against Everton. The Bosnia-Herzegovina international came off after 18 minutes and Arsenal say he will "undergo further specialist assessments". Kolasinac, 26, has played 20 games for the Gunners this season. Arsenal host Olympiakos on Thursday, taking a 1-0 lead into the second leg of the Europa League last-32 tie.
The Red Devils hold the record for the earliest Premier League title win, with Sir Alex Ferguson's men claiming victory in 2000-01 on 14 April. The earliest Premier League title win by games remaining, rather than by date, is five - a record also set by Manchester United in 2000-01, as well as Manchester City in 2017-18.
They are not out of contention for Champions League places yet though. If you are an Arsenal fan you are thinking they are four points off fifth place, which may get them in. They just need to carry on doing what they are doing, and stay disciplined, because they have got tremendous firepower. Burnley - 37 pointsLast five league games: WWDWWThis weekend: Newcastle (a)Highest/lowest position: 4th/15thDays in top four: 1/203 Liverpool (12) are the only Premier League team to keep more clean sheets than Burnley this seasonSutton: "It looked like they were getting sucked into the relegation scrap when they lost four straight games at the turn of the year but only Liverpool have been in better form in the past few weeks.
Freiburg have proven themselves as a formidable opponent for all challengers this season. They have lost just three of their 14 Bundesliga games this season. Furthermore, they have lost just one of their last six Bundesliga fixtures. They will be aiming to take all three points from Saturday's game versus out-of-form Hertha Berlin.
