It was one of Schmeichel’s 11 career goals. Brad Friedel came up for a corner to score in 2004 but the only three keeper goals since in the Premier League - Paul Robinson, Tim Howard and Asmir Begovic - have all been long punts up field. See an animated version of Schmeichel’s goal on a very old-school BBC football page here. Lehmann scores derby equaliser We do not have any pictures of Jens Lehmann scoring sadly - but here he is coming forward in another Schalke-Dortmund matchA major derby.

However, despite boasting a 100% record through the group stage and the last 16, they came up against eventual champions the United States in the quarter-finals. Two goals from 2019 Ballon d'Or winner Megan Rapinoe were enough to end France's quest in front of a packed Parc des Princes in Paris, their fifth successive quarter-final exit at a major tournament (including Olympics and European Championships).
Hamburger is playing with low scores at this field, and they had 0:0 in the previous match at this ground. They have lost in Stuttgart, and now will seek to avoid to concede, since had three goals in the net, at that match.

Surely Real Sociedad will have more confidence to win on this match.

Germany has banned large events with crowds until 24 October, so games will be behind closed doors, but the DFL has developed a health and safety plan that would see only about 300 people or near the pitch during matches, to minimise the risk of infection. According to official figures, just under 7,000 people have died in Germany from coronavirus, a much lower figure than in other western European countries including the UK, Italy, France and Spain.
Two sides having a similar season in terms of experiencing patches of inconsistency. Neither side has shown brilliant form and neither side is particularly impressive in terms of scoring goals. 11th Slavia Mozyr 10-14 against 12th Gorodeya 6-10.
Central Coast Mariners awaits Melbourne Victory in Australia A - League. Both teams have underperformed this season and the victory can go either side. Central Coast Mariners have lost 6 games from the past 8 games, allowing 15 goals along. Melbourne Victory have won their last 2 games.
Gladbach are genuine title contenders this season. We expect them to remind everyone of how seriously they should be taken with a commanding performance in Frankfurt. Back the visitors in a draw no bet wager.
There’s no history between these two teams as this is their first meeting but with Western United’s excellent away form and Central Coast’s inability to keep a clean sheet, we’re very confident in predicting a victory for Western United this weekend. They have a full squad to pick from and look to have too much in attack for Central Coast to shut them out whilst the loss of Duric for the hosts will be a bit loss with no one else really looking capable of stepping up. Western United should enjoy a fairly comfortable weekend here and odds of 23/20 seem very generous from the bookies.
It has been reported that Williams told Athletic captain Iker Muniain about the abuse, who then informed referee Jose Sanchez Martinez. No black player or any player ever wants to hear that," Williams told the Athletic Bilbao website after the game. It's completely out of order, people should go to matches to enjoy themselves, to support their team; football is a team sport and should be played in a friendly atmosphere.
Whilst Boca Juniors would much rather be contesting the Copa Libertadores final this weekend, as rivals River Plate are, they can only focus on the task at hand, which is this league match. Indeed, having lost their domestic crown to Racing Club last season, running out kings of Argentina is a real objective for El Xeneize this term and winning games like Sunday's is going to be key if they are to do so.
GOAL! Martial scores his second and it's another gift from Newcastle's awful defending. Sean Longstaff tried a backpass from just inside his own half and only succeeded in playing in the French striker who ran on close to the keeper before dinking over to make it 4-1. Ooooh! Martial inches away from his first Man Utd hat-trick.
Abidal had claimed that Barca’s players had contributed to Ernesto Valverde’s sacking by not working hard, prompting the following from Messi: "When you talk about players, you have to give names because if not, it gives air to things which are not true. Sincerely, I don't like to do these things but I think that people have to be responsible for their jobs and own their decisions.
I want to thank Sporting for everything they have done for me. It is surreal to hear the nice words that have been said about me from players that used to play for this team. A massive thank you to Ole and everyone at Manchester United for the trust they have shown in me and I can’t wait to start to repay that on the pitch.
Defending champions Bayern Munich can reclaim top spot if they win at Cologne on Sunday (14:30 GMT). Elsewhere, Bayer Leverkusen moved into the top four thanks to Karim Bellarabi's 94th-minute winner in a 3-2 victory at Union Berlin. The game was interrupted on several occasions as fans lit flares and smoke bombs in the stands. Hertha Berlin beat Paderborn 2-1 in their first game since the resignation of Jurgen Klinsmann after only 10 weeks.
Burgos team was in the Second level of the competition in Spain, long time ago, and they are trying to regain their spot among the professional clubs in the country in this season. Team is still not in the promotion place, but with the few points, they could easily get to at least third position in the table.
Now Preston need to produce to dispel the idea that they will slip out of the promotion. Hitting a bad run of form just before Christmas is a big test of Neil’s sought-after talents. However, their away record could prove to be their downfall this term. They’ve got the best home record in the division, but they lack the same consistency on the road.

Backed by vociferous crowd inside London Stadium, the hosts started in a determined fashion and limited Liverpool to few chances until Issa Diop's foul on Divock Origi allowed Salah to put the visitors ahead from a penalty and their first shot on target. And while Manuel Lanzini's scuffed close-range shot and Robert Snodgrass' hurried effort represented good opportunities for the hosts, Oxlade-Chamberlain's goal ensured a comfortable conclusion to the evening for Klopp's side, who could have scored again when Salah hit the post from 18 yards.
Fu Jen had two home matches, with under 2.5 goals scored in the final outcome for each. They are going to host Ming Chang, which also made good performances and had only 2:0 loss to Taipower in the recent round. They are able to make issues for the host squad in the first part, and to avoid to concede a lot of goals. Fu Jen is favorite, but it will not be a big surprise if they win this one, with result similar to the recent one against Taiwan University.
On the right side of defence, Reece James is a star, but there is a limit to what a 20-year-old full-back not named Trent Alexander-Arnold can do, while Marcos Alonso let his team down badly tonight. In midfield, the situation is similar: Chelsea have decent players but little more. N'Golo Kante, the best of them, is finally showing the strain of his devastating workload and style of play – who knows when he’ll be back and if he’ll be the same player – while Ross Barkley is never going to grow a brain to match his ability on the ball.
Chelsea's Tammy Abraham is the latest England striker to be sidelined by injury and it is starting to seem like the position is jinxed. I am still hoping to watch Abraham against Liverpool in the FA Cup at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday but Chelsea manager Frank Lampard does not exactly sound optimistic that his ongoing ankle problem will allow him to play. If it doesn't get any better soon, it is going to affect his England chances too.
Relive all of Saturday's Premier League actionReport: Man City 2-2 Crystal PalaceReport: Norwich City 1-0 BournemouthWolves fought back from two goals down at half-time for a superb 3-2 win at Southampton, with one goal from Pedro Neto and two from Raul Jimenez moving them up into sixth place. Arsenal were closing in on victory at home to Sheffield United, but the Blades fought back with a late John Fleck goal ensuring a 1-1 draw.
This time last week, amid growing anxiety over the apparent financial crisis that abandoning the season would trigger, the Premier League's hopes of a return to action were beginning to fade. But then, with frustration growing among some executives at what they saw as a lack of guidance from government, suddenly came encouragement. With Prime Minister Boris Johnson preparing to return to work after recuperating from his own brush with coronavirus, the league was told Downing Street wanted top-flight football back as soon as possible, to help boost people's morale after months in lockdown, and to support the game commercially, with many jobs and the wider football industry desperate for a restart.
At club level, Bale's ascent was rapid but not without setbacks. Tottenham fought off competition from Manchester United to sign him in 2007 but, after early promise, he struggled with injuries and a statistical quirk that showed he had failed to win a Premier League game over the course of two years and 24 fixtures. Harry Redknapp, Spurs' manager at the time, admitted he was reluctant to select Bale for fear the young left-back was cursed.

Spurs have changed manager since then, with Mauricio Pochettino succeeded by Jose Mourinho, who has two previous Champions League wins to his name - Porto in 2004 and Inter Milan in 2010. Their opponents RB Leipzig currently lead the German Bundesliga and have in Timo Werner one of Europe's most coveted strikers and in Julian Nagelsmann one of the continent's most promising young coaches. Chelsea face a tough tie against five-time Champions League winners Bayern Munich, who are reigning Bundesliga champions but sit fifth in the league and sacked manager Niko Kovac last month.
Christian Eriksen is now a toxic presence in their line-up, a hugely talented player who is an increasing target for fans who clearly feel he is running down the clock on his time at Spurs. Every tackle he misses is seen as a lack of commitment, every misplaced pass is viewed as a lack of interest. It is a harsh judgement but he certainly felt the scorn of Spurs' fans when he was replaced by Lo Celso in the 69th minute.
Both teams have scored in 67% of OB’s home games and in 44% of AaB’s away games this season, with the hosts have scoring 17 goals at in their own backyard and the visitors netting an impressive 15 times on the road. OB have scored in both halves of their home games 33% of the time as have AaB 33% of their away games, so there could well be goals in both halves for both teams on Monday. OB’s have lost seven times this season by a one-goal margin and considering they have lost eight times in total, the chances are any defeat for the hosts on Monday would only by via the odd goal.
To have only dropped two points by Christmas is just phenomenal, and everyone knows it. There is a fear now of Liverpool, and especially of their second-half displays. Teams know that if they do not take their chances against them, then they are going to come back and punish you - as late as it takes. The number of injury-time winners they have had in 2019 - Roberto Firmino's goal to sink Monterrey in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup was their sixth this year - will play on the opposition's minds too.
I found Wolves like better team at moment. After some break both teams are well rest and will try to play for a win tonight. I think that Leicester will go down in form from round to round. They will finish 4th but will lose several games till the end of Premier league. Home side is team who can win against any team in Premier league. They show many good performances this season and Traore is one of the best attackers in England and he will be the main danger for Leicester tonight. Expect easy home win. Good luck!

Now Villa head into this clash as the top-flight side, with Fulham on course for the playoffs for the third time in four seasons. However, they are on an even footing ahead of this FA Cup Third Round encounter on Saturday, with the Championship side actually favourites for the victory this weekend.
Burnley boss] Sean Dyche is a brilliant manager. From the first day he walked in [Trippier played for Burnley from 2011-2015, initially on loan] he sorted my career out basically. From when I was young, stupid and going out, he just sat me down and said 'no more'. Unbelievable manager and I loved playing for him and, who knows, one day I might get the opportunity to play for him again. I can improve on my defending'"In the Premier League, I was too eager to get forward.
Celtic come into this game on the back of a good run, although Ross County will be eager to cause an upset and gain some much-needed points themselves. However, the Staggies' poor form on home turf will make that difficult. We're going to back Celtic to win and over 2.5 goals, as Ross County have seen that happen in 100% of their home games and concede an average of 2.33. They have also managed to score at least once in 4 of their last 5 games.
WEDNESDAY’S BIG STORIES #MourinhoIN Video - 'I wanted to invite ball boy to celebrate with us!' - Mourinho00:20 Worst VAR decision yet? VAR: helping referees escape stadiums alive since 2018. What do you do if you have second thoughts after awarding a penalty against Real Madrid, sending off their goalkeeper for good measure, at the Bernabeu? Simple: just rewind the match footage until you can find the smallest of infringements, wipe out everything that occurred after that point and pretend football still has a crumb of credibility.
Real Oviedo will host Tenerife for this fixture of the league. I believe, Real Oviedo have a very difficult task in this season. They are no longer a major threat for big clubs. Nevertheless, Oviedo is better team at home. I think, the hosts will try to make a positive result. Of course, this will not be an easy task. Also, we have Tenerife who's is very average team in this campaign. Tenerife are undefeated in their last 5 matches. However, Tenerife is also better team at home. In any case, I expect, this will be tense match. I think, the hosts will try to break the poor series.
