Albania 0-2 England - Recap
Albania 0-2 England - Recap

England maintained their winning start to the 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign with a comfortable victory over Albania in Tirana. Albania provided more of a challenge than hapless San Marino in England's opening 5-0 win at Wembley but once they had survived an early scare when Myrto Uzuni missed a great chance for the side ranked 66th in the world, this was routine for Gareth Southgate's side. England captain Harry Kane lifted the mediocrity of an attritional first half on a slow surface when he scored his 33rd goal for his country, a superbly guided diving header from Luke Shaw's cross seven minutes before the interval. This set the platform for a more positive second-half display, Mason Mount adding a composed second in the 63rd minute after sustained England pressure saw Phil Foden's effort turned on to the post by Albania keeper Etrit Berisha and Kane lifting a close-range shot over the top. England stretched their unbeaten run in World Cup qualifiers to 23 games but now face their sternest test so far in this campaign as Poland and their master marksman Robert Lewandowski come to Wembley on Wednesday (19:45 BST). Reaction from Tirana as England beat Albania 'Now Tuchel picks him everyone will agree' - how 'exceptional' Mount is proving critics wrong Listen to the latest Football Daily podcast Kane's class lifts England Kane had been going through something of a drought by his own standards. His previous England goal came 500 days ago, in a Euro 2020 qualifier against Kosovo, and his header in Tirana ended a run of 496 minutes without scoring. Kane's class, however, remains permanent so it was no surprise that he was the man to break the deadlock after England had struggled to break down a resilient Albania defence, the beneficiary of a superb left-flank delivery from Shaw. It was also a good moment for the recalled Shaw, whose impressive recent form for Manchester United merited his inclusion. Southgate may well have his ideal Euro 2020 starting line-up fixed in his mind but Shaw, who has assisted goals in his last three England starts, is emerging as a genuine rival to Chelsea's Ben Chilwell. Mount's cool finish from Kane's pass after Raheem Sterling intercepted Berat Djimsiti's pass was another illustration of his growing stature and Chelsea's rising star must surely be a certain starter when England open their Euro 2020 finals campaign against Croatia at Wembley on 13 June. England had the odd anxious moment in defence, especially when Uzuni blazed over with only keeper Nick Pope to beat and the scoreline goalless, but they were largely untroubled. The more accurate measure of where England's current rate of progress stands will come when they face the world-class talent of Bayern Munich's Lewandowski. Southgate's formation taking shape Southgate's decision to select two defensively-minded midfield men once more in Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips was another strong indicator that this will be his preferred formation at the Euros this summer. It is a game plan which has looked stodgy on occasions, particularly in two Uefa Nations League games against Denmark, a goalless draw in Copenhagen and a defeat at Wembley, and leaves Southgate open to accusations of over-caution. Southgate's single-minded approach means he will not worry about outside noise if he is convinced this is the right way to go. The proof, as ever, will come with results before and during the summer's delayed Euro 2020 showpiece. One factor in Southgate's plans will be the fitness of Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson. He is recovering following groin surgery and while Liverpool are hopeful he will return before the end of the season, this is by no means guaranteed. If he is fit, it would appear he will start alongside Rice in that opener against Croatia. Phillips was pushed forward into a more advanced position in the second half but this now seems to be emerging as Southgate's favoured strategy. The debate continues around England's goalkeeping position with Everton's Jordan Pickford out injured but he has been Southgate's favoured keeper for some time so it still seems to be his position to lose if he is fit. Southgate will have learned little about Burnley keeper Nick Pope other than what he already knows and what he has seen in England's training camp because he has had nothing to do against either San Marino or Albania. He may have more to do when Lewandowski gets him in his sights at Wembley. This England performance, ultimately, was efficient as opposed to spectacular but Southgate can be satisfied with six points, although anything less would have prompted serious questions. This can be filed under "job done" and now it is on to Poland on Wednesday. #uk #news #AlbaniavsEngland #englandvsalbania #worldcupqualifiers #Albania #HarryKane #MasonMount #LukeShaw #englandalbania #ashleycole #uksportsnews #england #footballenglandalbania2021

Arsenal 3-0 Newcastle United - Aubameyang Back To His Best 🔥 - Full Ian Wright Analysis He struck again to make sure of Arsenal’s return to the top half of the table after another beautifully crafted goal from Bukayo Saka had knocked the stuffing out of the visitors. Butfor the long-suffering Newcastle boss it was another miserable trip to North London on the most depressing day of the year. #Arsenal#AFTV #Football Bruce admitted that he had picked the wrong team last week when he became the first manager this season to lose a Premier League game to Sheffield United. It was a performance he described as “absolute s***e” and one which left him wide open to the criticism which predictably followed. Arsenal 3-0 Newcastle: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang bags double either side of Bukayo Saka strike to send Gunners into top half and pile more pressure on Steve Bruce after miserable Magpies display Newcastle travelled to north London to face in-form Arsenal in the Premier League on Monday night Both sides looked sluggish and lacking imagination in the first-half, which ended without a goal The Gunners hit their stride in the second-half, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scoring after 50 minutes Bukayo Saka, who was sublime all evening, bagged the second after a brilliant Emile Smith-Rowe assist Aubameyang's tap-in from Cedric Soares' cross finished things off, piling the hurt on Steve Bruce Yet still no-one expected him to be quite so bold at a ground where he had never won in 17 previous visits as a boss. Just about every attacking player available to him was named in the starting line-up as Bruce went completely gung-ho. If there was to be a goal threat from Newcastle, history would suggest Andy Carroll would be the man to provide it, having scored more goals against Arsenal than any other Premier League opponent. And minutes after falling behind, the visitors did nearly level through their target man, but he saw his left-foot drive fly just past Bernd Leno's upright. Instead, Arsenal would assert their dominance with another glimpse of their future as Smith-Rowe danced past Lascelles and pulled the ball back for Saka, who got the goal his performance deserved. Yet it still wasn’t enough to halt a disturbing run of nine games without a victory which leaves Newcastle looking anxiously at the relegation zone. They still have a seven-point cushion to the bottom three but nothing Bruce tries appears to be working and you wonder just how much more of this he can take.

Trail Blazers are DANGEROUS to the Lakers in the NBA Playoffs [FIRST ROUND UPSET?]
Trail Blazers are DANGEROUS to the Lakers in the NBA Playoffs [FIRST ROUND UPSET?]

Subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/c/NBAwowtv Follow us on Twitter: @nbawowtv.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nbawowtv Watch our other videos: https://youtu.be/3XV7iD5mOjM https://youtu.be/pukEYZucRQI https://youtu.be/TjR6Bcv4dsI https://youtu.be/wbgSa5WbGJk Trail Blazers are DANGEROUS to the Lakers in the NBA Playoffs [FIRST ROUND UPSET] The number one seed LA Lakers are up against the number 8 Trail Blazers to determine who advances to the next round of the playoffs in the West. Based on their records in the regular season, Lakers 52-19 and Trail Blazers 35-39, most people would think that the Lakers will steamroll the Blazers in this round-one match up, but it is way more complicated than that! (video editor, please add some footage of the Blazers dominating in the bubble). The Trail Blazers have been one of the stand-out teams in the bubble winning 6 of their eight seeding games, while the Lakers have looked a shadow of themselves managing only three victories in their eight games. The bubble has not been kind to the Lakers so far! They seem demotivated, and King James, at times, looks dejected! ……This has got us thinking……Can the Trail Blazers beat the Lakers in the first round? There is a real chance for them to create one of the biggest upsets in recent basketball history. One of the reasons why the Blazers are such a threat to the Lakers is momentum. They have been playing well as a team, led by their super-motivated Point Guard Damian Lillard, supported by CJ McCollum, Zach Collins, and Jusuf Nurkic. The team oozes confidence when they are on the court and have the belief that they can come out on top in tight games against any opponent! Of the six games that they won in the bubble, four was by a margin of 5 or fewer points, which shows that the Blazers can keep their composure and close games out. On the other hand, the Lakers have no momentum coming into the playoffs and will need to get back to some semblance of their top game to overcome the Blazers. This is the perfect situation for an upset! What is also concerning is the offensive depth of the Lakers; apart from Lebron and Anthony Davies, they do not have a dynamic offensive player that can score goals and make plays. They also have a dismal 3-point record as a team, which is not at all inspiring! What will they do if they lose Anthony Davis or Lebron James for several minutes in a game or even worse if either one has to sit out a game? Don’t say it…. this would be disastrous! In addition to this, their top-quality defensive unit has been dealt a blow with the absence of the outstanding Avery Bradley. Guarding the outstanding Lillard and CJ McCollum might prove to be a nightmare for the Lakers since Lebron is the only player who is good enough to effectively guard one of these two players. The other will likely have space to create dangerous offensive plays for the Trail Blazers. So, with all the attacking and defensive frailties that the Lakers have displayed so far in the bubble, the Blazers should win this first-round playoff series?.......Ahh…NO and NO! We have to realize that the Lakers were not at all motivated in the seeding games…. they had nothing to play for! They had already secured the Number 1 seed in the West and literally were just playing these games because they had to. Now they have an NBA title to win and will be totally switched on and motivated for the playoffs. Lebron James has never gone out in the first round of the playoffs in his 17-year career, and despite the weird nature of the bubble, we do not see this happening this year! Lebron will be supported by Anthony Davis, who is anxious to win a first NBA title himself! The Blazers will definitely be competitive and will probably win a couple of games, but we do not see this series going past the 6th game before the Lakers wrap it up. The NBA is the premier professional basketball league in the United States and Canada. The league is truly global, with games and programming in 215 countries and territories in 47 languages, as well as rosters that currently feature 85 international players from 36 countries and territories. For the 2012-13 season, each of the league's 30 teams will play 82 regular-season games, followed by a postseason for those that qualify. Atlanta Hawks; Boston Celtics; Brooklyn Nets; Charlotte Bobcats; Chicago Bulls; Cleveland Cavaliers; Dallas Mavericks; Denver Nuggets; Detroit Pistons; Golden State Warriors; Houston Rockets; Indiana Pacers; Los Angeles Clippers; Los Angeles Lakers; Memphis Grizzlies; Miami Heat; Milwaukee Bucks; Minnesota Timberwolves; New Orleans Hornets; New York Knicks; Oklahoma City Thunder; Orlando Magic; Philadelphia 76ers; Phoenix Suns; Portland Trail Blazers; Sacramento Kings; San Antonio Spurs; Toronto Raptors; Utah Jazz; Washington Wizards. #NBA #NBAHighlights #LebronJames #kingJames #DwayneWade #BestofNBA #Respect Moments #RussellWestbrook #JamesHarden #ESPN #FoxSports
