Zlatan Ibrahimovic helped AC Milan stun second-placed Lazio to move leaders Juventus closer to a ninth straight Serie A title. The former Juve forward, 38, doubled his side's lead with a penalty after Hakan Calhanoglu's impressive opener. Victory was sealed after the interval when Ante Rebic slotted the third from close range.
He must also have been feeling of immense satisfaction. Moyes was sacked as United boss in April 2014, less than a season into a six-year contract as Sir Alex Ferguson's successor. In the build-up to the game, Moyes said the only difference between him and Solskjaer was that the Norwegian was given time. The statistics suggest Moyes has a point. Solskjaer's results in his first 51 games as United boss are broadly similar to the Scot, who won two games more, but lost an extra one as well.

They have only managed eight top-half finishes since they last won the league in 1959. But unless they at least match last season's seventh place, it will be viewed by some as a disappointment.

Guo Guangchang has been described as the 'Warren Buffett of China' in the mediaFirst the good news for Wolves fans.

Sanz, 76, was president at the Bernabeu from 1995-2000, a period in which Real won the Champions League twice. My father has just died," wrote Sanz's son Lorenzo Sanz Duran on Twitter.

We have a little book club, so if we see or read anything we can share, we pass it on amongst each other. You've got small interactions in groups, which is good. Some of the Zoom calls are just based off little chats. I've read a few books, but my main thing right now is the Jordan documentary. We'll all talk about it in the group because I know everybody else is watching. I'm obviously spending a lot more time with my child, which has been very good because I'm out quite a lot with practice normally.
Manchester City fans held up banners during their 2-0 Premier League win over West HamThey feel they were victimised when they were prevented from attending a game at CSKA Moscow - despite many supporters already booking flights and hotel rooms - due to the poor behaviour of the Russian club's fans, only to find home hundreds of home supporters managed to get in anyway. This came a few months after City were fined £49m for breaching Financial Fair Play regulations.

FC Volendam against NEC Nijmegen here, another meeting of the Eerste Divisie of Dutch soccer that is played tomorrow night at 20:00. Slightly favored hosts for the victory of the match come from an external success of 1-2 against Excelsior Rotterdam while the guests are coming from a home draw with white nets against Jong Utrecht. The Volendam comes from four consecutive victories but today is facing an opponent who plays very well on the road and given that the technical gap between the two teams is not there let's try a draw here as the odds are quite high.

I'm sad because of the draw but above all because I suffered racist insults, no black player or any player ever wants to hear that," Williams told the club's official media 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.
Everyone could see just how attacking minded Slavia Prague can be as this season they made it in the Champions League group stage where they drew away at Inter or Barcelona but at home lost all their games and exited the competition on 4th place not good enough even for an Europa League place but a really solid side. They played 2 games in this competition and drew 3-3 with another Danish club Aarhus, lost on penalties while they won 3-1 with Valerenga finishing 2nd their group and they were both high scoring games even with over 3.5 goals being scored.
Luton have seen over 2.5 goals in each of their last six matches. This season 88% of Luton’s home games have seen over 2.5 goals, as have each of their previous six meetings with Charlton. The hosts have lost six of their last seven, letting in two goals in each of those defeats while scoring eight in return. With Charlton seeing both teams score in their last four trips, we see goals in this game. Over 2.5 is our main tip for this one, having landed in nine of Luton’s 11 losses this season.

Preston is being extremely fierce chasing on the chart, so Preston must be more focused now. Currently, the home team is ranked 6th in the rankings with 53 points. Above them, Forest, Brentford or Fulham only got 55 and 56 points, respectively. However, in terms of the ability Preston to be in the top 6 is the possibility. Because right now behind the home team is Bristol City also has the same 53 points and only inferior in goal difference. At the moment, the visitors are only ranked 17th in the table with 41 points. I think Preston will win easy this match.

English FA Cup and match between Sheffield United and Arsenal. I think the home team has fallen into form after two straight losses after the break and no goals scored. Both matches were lost by 0-3 and now they face a side Arsenal that defeated Southampton by 2-0 in the last match. For the bookmakers arsenal is the fav, but I see good chances that the host will keep a positive result. They won against arsenal 1-0 at the beginning of the season and arsenal are not an overseas team while Sheffield is already very strong at home. I think this game will end in a draw and we could see a second leg.
At various stages during this quite incredible season for Liverpool, it has been suggested that they could be in course to match one or other of these achievements. Following a 1-0 win against Tottenham that extended their lead to the top of the Premier League to 16 points, and ensured they have locked up 88 of the last 90 points available, it is not being too outlandish to suggest that they may yet match all three in one season.
La Liga organisers are aiming for a June restart to the season, which was halted by the coronavirus crisis, as clubs return to training this week.

Including caretakers, only one of Arsenal's last five managers has won their first home game in charge - Pat Rice against Sheffield Wednesday in September 1996. Brighton have beaten 'big six' opposition away from home in the Premier League for the very first time at the 17th attempt; they had lost 15 of the previous 16 such games. Arsenal's Alexandre Lacazette has scored 25 of his 32 Premier League goals at the Emirates Stadium.
However, with just three shutouts from 20 attempts themselves, clean sheets have been just as rare for Arsenal, and we expect Sheffield United to find joy in behind the Gunners' notoriously porous backline again.
Wolves are attempting to arrange a 2020 pre-season tour that involves the US cities with a significant Mexican population. WWE star Sin Cara has been to Molineux. Jimenez wore his distinctive mask when he scored in last season's FA Cup semi-final. Wolves have campaigned with the World Wildlife Fund in Mexico to protect the endangered wolf. The club know when the day comes that Jimenez is no longer part of their squad, their appeal in Mexico will diminish.
This followed on from their defeat at Astana and draw against Sheffield United last weekend to take them into December in awful shape. They sit 9th in the Premier League, and with tough fixtures against Spurs and Manchester City coming up the outlook is bleak for Old Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.

It is understood there are other clubs interested in the 38-year-old, a free agent after leaving LA Galaxy at the end of the Major League Soccer season.

The Liverpool full-back then produced a mouth-watering cross for Sadio Mane, who couldn't apply the finishing touch. Robertson is back to his best after a shaky period following the restart. Did you know? Robertson had more touches (111) and made more passes in the opposition half (51) than any other Liverpool player against Burnley. Garcia: I'm not surprised Barcelona have shown some interested in this lad.

But you look to the goals and they are not a consequence of any superiority. The first goal is a short corner with a big mistake. We know how to defend short corners, we train how to deal with short corners. The players involved were not focused. Mourinho admitted VAR was correct to award Chelsea their penalty despite referee Anthony Taylor not giving it but said Son's red card, also awarded via VAR, was harsh.
Rizespor have six wins, three clean sheets and eight losses. They have scored in 10 of their last 15 matches, and scored two or more goals in six of their last 15 matches. They have conceded two or more goals in nine of the last 15 matches while nine of the 15 matches have also produced over 2. At home, Rizespor have two straight losses and five wins in 10.
Indeed, only the Premier League's current top four and Tottenham Hotspur have scored more goals than Burnley so far this season (20), and we can take advantage of the club's new-found cutting edge in the markets this weekend.
Conte, who took over as Inter coach this season, said that he had been an admirer of Lukaku's ever since he coached Chelsea in the English Premier League. Lukaku, on the other hand, was impressed by Conte's Italy side when they beat Belgium 3-1 at Euro 2016 despite a much weaker squad on paper. I heard people say Romelu Lukaku was a donkey," said Conte after the 1-1 draw against Atalanta on Saturday.
Ultimately, it's hard to picture this tie ending in anything other than a comfortable home win. Man for man, Benfica are far superior to Rio Ave in all areas of the pitch and in utterly dominant shape on home soil, the chances of the hosts slipping up are very minimal.
Energetyk BDU is going to face Gorodeya. The hosts play very well season and after four matches they got 9 points. They failed only against actually the best team in this league Zhodino on away where they lost 0:2. The hosts are pretty strong at home where they won 3:1 against Bate Borisov and then 2:0 against Fc Minsk. The visitors won two matches in a row after two defeats at the start of this season. Gorodeya scored only one goal in two games on away. My bet here is Energetyk BDU to win this clash. It could be like 1:0.
SHREWSBURY CHANCE! Shaun Whalley races on to Norburn's superb pass to run clean through on Adrian, but sees his big chance thwarted by the keeper's right leg. SHREWSBURY CHANCE!

Shrewsbury retort but Whalley drags wide with an angled strike after a Liverpool mix-up at the bag had left him in plenty of space to surge into the area.
