But, somewhat against the run of play, South Korean Son nodded home from point-blank range in the 79th minute to earn Tottenham a first victory in five league games. It was enough to push Jose Mourinho's stuttering side up to sixth place with 34 points from 24 games, six behind fourth-placed Chelsea who themselves have suffered a loss of form.
They are joint leaders of the championship on nine points alongside France but will have a tough game against fourth placed England. The English side are five points behind their opponents after a win and loss in their first two games. This is a real family affair as on the English side is Owen Farrell and the Irish team is coached by his father Andy.
Fortunately the striker is only 26, among the best in the world, and still has time. He's also playing for a club who look very unlikely to be playing Champions League football next season. The whole point of Mauricio Pochettino's departure and Mourinho's arrival was to bolster Tottenham's chances of a top-four place. Wins against Arsenal and now Newcastle are fine but Tottenham seem to have gone backwards under Mourinho not forward.
Lloris is in the baffling category of goalkeepers who look great on statistic charts but are unavoidably calamitous on the pitch. And when that player is your captain, it doesn’t exactly exude confidence across the pitch. Sack everyone. OK, not quite everyone. But how many players outside of Harry Kane, Son Heung-min, Moussa Sissoko and Giovani Lo Celso would be guaranteed a start at any other Premier League club? There was a time when Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen were pushing to be the greatest defensive pairing in Europe.
To expand on the old saying, the season is a marathon and not a sprint in which any side will have periods when they are on top of their game and other periods where they are not at their best. This weekend sees Newport County look to kick back into gear following their recent blip as they face off against an Oldham Athletic side who are looking for some form ahead of the hectic festive period.

Then there is the story of Griffiths' father phoning and asking whether Smith would take in his 14-year-old. He didn't want to leave when Livingston came in for him because we were going for the Scottish Cup. I practically had to drive him there myself," he recalls. Uncertain future despite gilded past?Throughout the past 30 years, the ambition has been to earn a place in the East of Scotland League, so that the players have a pathway to senior football.

Six-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi responded on Instagram, writing: "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. The players [are responsible] for what happens on the pitch and we are the first to admit when we haven't been good. The heads of the sports department have to take their responsibilities too and above all own the decisions they make.
Zero: Mino Raiola It’s not so much the sentiment here, but the caps. Why the random capital letters, Mino? As someone pointed out, it’s like he’s having this conversation and Solskjaer backs out of the room at the end, so he has to shout after him. RETRO CORNER A very happy birthday to Massimo Taibi, so here’s that famous clip of him.

He delivered it with a stinging shot in the top corner. Matt Le Tissier: Southampton 2-1 Newcastle United (Premier League)24 October 1993With the ball headed just behind him, Southampton's Matt le Tissier had to improvise by flicking the ball up with his left foot, before lifting the ball over a second defender with his right and calmly slotting the ball past Mike Hooper. Shearer: "He flicked it over one defender with his left foot and then flicked it over another defender with his right.
You’ve got to be thick-skinned. Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is a big part of it but all the captains came together on a video call and we had it in hand before it all came out. It took a lot of planning to be honest. You can’t just come up with it in a few days - we wanted it to be right. We wanted to help the NHS and frontline workers, the people who are right now in this situation. Players do things all the time without publicity.
Are Brighton safe?While Norwich have faltered since the restart, Brighton have thrived. The Seagulls were just two points above the relegation zone when the season was suspended. They are now nine points clear of 18th-placed Aston Villa and 19th-placed Bournemouth, both on 27 points. Graham Potter's side have reached 36 points - a tally that has been good enough to stay up for the past three seasons - with five games to go, meaning the pressure of hosting champions Liverpool and second-placed Manchester City in back-to-back fixtures is eased considerably.

today Balzan fc and Floriana meet in the best male soccer league in Malta and here in this match I bet it will end with a win in the lead.

Balzan is 6 th and has 21 points after 14 games. The Balzan team have made 2 defeats in the last 5 home games. So I can see this Floriana team winning this match. Good luck.

Friendly game in Russia between Saturn and Znamya. For me Saturn is big favorite for this game. For Saturn this is four games in last 15 days, but for Znamya last game play before 30 days when Znamya lost 3:0 from D. Bryansk. In last 5 games this year Saturn have 2 wins and 3 lost games with goal difference 7:10. Now for me Saturn is good prepare team and in good conditions and will take win for this game. My first opinion is Saturn win but for me sure opinion is over 2.5 goals. Good luck for this game.
It’s hard to argue against Melbourne City finding the net themselves though, with 45 goals between these two sides so far this season, and we’re predicting that whilst Sydney will win this match Melbourne City will get on the scoresheet with a 2-1 scoreline the most likely.
It has been a difficult few months for fans of Carlisle United as they have seen their side’s form crumble and they have dropped down the league. The hosts go into this match having claimed just one win in their last 11 league matches and, perhaps unsurprisingly after a run like that, they now sit dangerously close to battle for survival at the bottom of the league.
