Carabao Cup Quarter Final Draw Arsenal Get Spurs, Chelsea & Man City Kept Apart
Carabao Cup Quarter Final Draw: Arsenal Get Spurs, Chelsea & Man City Kept Apart. Arsenal have been drawn to play Tottenham in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup but favourites Manchester City and Chelsea have been kept apart. The Gunners booked their place in the last-8 with a narrow 2-1 win over Blackpool on Wednesday night with youngster Emile Smith Rowe scoring what turned out to be the winning goal at the Emirates. Tottenham eased in to the next round of the competition with a 3-1 victory at West Ham thanks largely to a brace from Hueng-min Son and they’ve been rewarded with an exciting trip to north London rivals Arsenal in the quarter finals. Chelsea were made to work by Derby County as they needed two own goals and a Cesc Fabregas winner to beat Frank Lampard’s side 3-2 in a thriller at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night. The Blues have now been drawn at home to face Bournemouth in the last-8 after they beat Norwich City 2-1 on Tuesday night while Middlesbrough will host Burton after they edged past Crystal Palace 1-0. Manchester City are most bookmakers favourites to win the competition for the second year running and they’ll face either Leicester or Southampton if they can beat Fulham at the Etihad Stadium on Thursday night. The quarter-final ties will take place in the week commencing December 17.
England beat Sri Lanka in their Twenty20 International in Colombo
England beat Sri Lanka in their Twenty20 International in Colombo. England signed off the limited-overs leg of their Sri Lankan tour with a return to winning ways in Colombo as Joe Denly ended an eight-year exile in style. England have played 384 international matches since Denly last appeared on the big stage - a low-key outing against Pakistan in February 2010. But he did more than enough to justify his second chance as the tourists reasserted themselves with a 30-run victory just four days after a record one-day defeat on the same ground. Having scored 20 of England's 187 for eight the 32-year-old took the spotlight with his reborn leg-spin, topping and tailing the innings to finish with four for 19 - the best figures of his professional career. On any ordinary day Adil Rashid's outstanding spell of three for 11 would have dominated, but this was a chance to celebrate Kent's comeback kid, whose chances of appearing in the forthcoming Test series have surely spiked. His bowling was little more than an afterthought when in his early England days but Denly has worked hard on it and may now join Rashid and Moeen Ali in a three-strong spin attack in Galle. England might still have struggled without Jason Roy's 69 - a devil-may-care knock that included six sixes, four fours, four dropped catches and all the fun of the fair. After kicking off with a flurry of burly blows it seemed Roy might be at his domineering best and although that was not the case, he provided fine entertainment. The first reprieve came on 21 when Roy checked a drive and gave a return chance to Isuru Udana, who flung out a hand but failed to hang on. Within a matter of seconds Sri Lanka were appealing in vain for obstructing the field, Roy abandoning a risky single and charging back when the attempted run out him on the back of the leg. There was another spurious appeal for a catch when Roy hit the ball straight into the ground. Roy decided to ride his luck as far as he could, launching himself at almost everything, sometimes clearing the ropes with ease and sometimes relying on the generosity of the fielding side. There were dollies on 34 and 41, grassed at deep-midwicket and long-off, and a trickier fingertip chance via the toe end of the bat on 53. Even at the non-striker's end he was in the thick of it, unwilling or unable to persuade Alex Hales to review a poor lbw and involved in the mis-communication that saw Eoin Morgan run out. When the end came it was fitting, a thin nick off a shudderingly awful Lakshan Sandakan long-hop. Rain arrived moments later and when play resumed almost an hour later England added 74 for four in the remaining 8.4 overs to close on 187 for eight. Morgan surprisingly tossed the new ball to Denly, who has done the job well domestically but was barely a part-time option when he last wore Three Lions. It took six balls to pay off, Kusal Mendis playing inside one that took off stump, and after five more it looked a masterstroke when the dangerous Niroshan Dickwella fell in similar fashion. Rashid's role in the Tests is already assured but he is even happier with a white ball in his hands. With his googly in rude health and a clever change in pace he was near impossible to get hold of, Dinesh Chandimal and Kamindu Mendis both tried and failed, Hales on hand to catch them in the deep. Much-hyped debutant Mendis had earlier showcased his remarkable ability to bowl right and left arm spin, and will surely be seen again. Dhananjaya de Silva was Rashid's third victim, trapped lbw by a combination of Rashid's wiles and a well-judged DRS referral. Denly returned for the final over the match and, with the result in hand, he picked off Thisara Perera and Malinga to end his day in delight. Denly savoured every moment after producing a man-of-the-match performance on his return to the international stage after more than eight years
Predicted Leeds side to face Forest 21 year old axed after Wednesday display
Predicted Leeds side to face Forest: 21-year-old axed after Wednesday display. Leeds play host to Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening. Marcelo Bielsa got his Leeds United side back to winning ways on Wednesday night with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Ipswich Town, but is expected to make changes ahead of Saturday evening's clash against Nottingham Forest. Kemar Roofe rediscovered his goalscoring touch with a header from 10 yards out after an inch-perfect cross from Pablo Hernandez, before captain Liam Cooper finished superbly after a well-worked corner. The win sent Leeds back to the top of the Championship, after West Bromwich Albion suffered a surprise 4-1 loss to Derby County despite Frank Lampard's side being away from home. The likes of Hernandez, Roofe and Gaetano Berardi all started after returning from injury, but the latter was forced off with what seemed to be another injury in the 27th minute - being replaced by Stuart Dallas. Switzerland international Berardi is likely to miss Saturday's clash, then, but Pontus Jansson is available after serving a one-match suspension. Despite the birth of newborn daughter, he could come in and replace Berardi on Saturday. Manchester City loanee Jack Harrison, 21, struggled against Ipswich on Wednesday and was taken off before the hour mark and replaced by Tom Pearce. With Jack Clarke waiting in the wings, Harrison is under pressure. Starting the 17-year-old winger, who has impressed in substitute appearances against Brentford and Blackburn, could be just the on-form ammunition that Leeds require to outdo Forest. Here is the side we think Leeds will field to take on Forest, with Bielsa making two changes from the win over Ipswich:
Two decisions Mauricio Pochettino may regret from Tottenham's draw with PSV
Two decisions Mauricio Pochettino may regret from Tottenham's draw with PSV. Hugo Lloris made a big mistake but manager Mauricio Pochettino may have regrets of his own. Tottenham needed a win away to PSV Eindhoven last night and could only leave Holland with a draw. A red card for Hugo Lloris was the turning point as Tottenham led a 2-1 lead slip for the game to finish 2-2. Lloris was directly at fault, but manager Mauricio Pochettino may have his regrets too. There were two questionable decisions made by the manager which do not relate to the goalkeeping position. The first was the decision to select Argentine attacker Erik Lamela on the bench. Lamela is in the best form of his career and scored the winner away to West Ham on Saturday. Leaving him out for such a key game was a surprise decision and Tottenham are left to rue what might have been. The second odd choice was his move to bring on Harry Winks to try and close out the game. The scenario was made for midfield destroyer Victor Wanyama, who was left as an unused substitute. Wanyama seems out of favour, having been used inconsistently all year. Last night provided a moment when he should have been used, and once Spurs were reduced to 10 men five minutes after Winks came on, it became harder for the England star to control the pace of the game.
NFL week seven highlights Drew Brees & Patrick Mahomes enter the record books as Chiefs
NFL week seven highlights: Drew Brees & Patrick Mahomes enter the record books as Chiefs & Saints both win. Our week seven highlights including Drew Brees bagging two more NFL records and Patrick Mahomes setting a new touchdown mark. Patrick Mahomes bagged a slice of NFL history as he threw four touchdown passes to help the Kansas City Chiefs bounce back to winning ways with a crushing 45-10 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Mahomes took his tally to 22 TD throws in his first eight games in the NFL, helping him break the previous best of 21 set by Super Bowl winner Kurt Warner. Mahomes connected on three TD passes in the first half as the Chiefs piled up a 24-7 lead, with their high-powered offence and speedy skill players proved too much for the Bengals to keep a handle on. FINAL: The @Chiefs get the WIN on SNF! #ChiefsKingdom (by @Lexus) pic.twitter.com/jJGt8gnYlm Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt scored a hat-trick of touchdowns and receiver Tyreek Hill also found the end zone, while tight end Travis Kelce had 95 receiving yards. It was second-year man Mahomes who was the star of the show though, putting up 358 yards passing as Kansas City rebounded from suffering their first loss of the season against the Patriots last week. "You think you're going to have success, but I didn't expect this much,'' Mahomes said. "But at the same time, I knew the weapons we had, and I knew if I just ran and did what coach Reid wanted me to do that there was a chance we could be really, really good.'' FINAL: The @RamsNFL stay undefeated! #LARvsSF#LARams pic.twitter.com/OjCv8ZE1Jg The Los Angeles Rams show no signs of slowing down as Todd Gurley scored another three touchdowns and the defence secured four turnovers to help batter the San Francisco 49ers to move on to 7-0. The Rams dominated in all facets of the game, adding a blocked punt on special teams to the dominant defence and potent offence, led expertly again by quarterback Jared Goff. The turnovers led to 24 points for the Rams as they made full use of possession despite gaining their lowest yardage total of the season with 331 offensive yards. "With the offense we have to just keep feeding and feeding them ball," said Rams defensive star Aaron Donald. "If we do that, they are going to put points on the board. Our offense is so explosive. We know that if we give them the ball good things are going to happen." FINAL: @Saints win by one in Baltimore! #NOvsBAL#GoSaints pic.twitter.com/R2soyckmMX Another week and another record for New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, as he joined Peyton manning, Brett Favre and Tom Brady as the only players to throw 500 TD passes in NFL history. It was a lucky escape for the Saints to get the win though, as one of the best kickers in the league Justin Tucker missed an extra point after a late Baltimore Ravens touchdown to hand New Orleans the victory. REDSKINS WIN REDSKINS WIN REDSKINS WIN Closing out this thread with the final play of the game. Brett Maher misses from 52 yards out. #PlayToWin #RedskinsVsCowboys pic.twitter.com/xUjnFMFkJb Brett Maher hit the post with a last-second field goal as the Dallas Cowboys fell to a 20-17 defeat at NFC East rivals Washington Redskins. A penalty had moved the kick back from 47 to 21 yards and that made all the difference for the Cowboys kicker as his effort curled just onto the upright at the last moment - giving the Redskins a decent lead in the division heading to the Giants next week.
‘Wouldn’t get in a pub team’ Some Newcastle fans tear into £40k a week £5m man
‘Wouldn’t get in a pub team’: Some Newcastle fans tear into £40k-a-week £5m man. Joselu was in action for Newcastle United against Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League on Saturday. Newcastle United fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Joselu against Brighton and Hove Albion. Joselu featured for Newcastle in their Premier League game against Brighton at St. James’ Park on Saturday afternoon. The 28-year-old striker did not start the match, but the Spaniard came on as as a substitute in the 74th minute. The striker joined Newcastle from Stoke City in the summer of 2017 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £5 million. Joselu - who earns £40,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com - scored four goals and provided one assist in 19 Premier League starts for the Magpies last season, according to WhoScored. So far this season, the 28-year-old has scored two goals in 437 minutes of Premier League football for Rafael Benitez’s side, according to WhoScored. Newcastle fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Joselu against Brighton. Below are some of the best comments: To be honest it is looking like he wants to be sacked at this stage. Weird subs or none. When we need a goal bring on joselu ? Id rather have shelvey up front then him I’d take him over Joselu at this point tbh https://t.co/NNvVK4gqVd Put somebody on who's isn't Atsu or Joselu. Agreed . Joselu /Perez and Rondon simply going to get us relegated And Rafa did make some strange decisions today but you’re never gonna win when Joselu is hitting the corner flag from 20 yards and Perez I think it was can’t head the ball down. I thought at 5m Joselu would be a world beater....Trevor Francis won the European cup and he only cost them 1m. Perez is the worst . He's absolute shocking , championship level at very best . From Shearer & Ferdinand up front to Perez & Joselu, The Ashley era in a oner ! Rafa needs to share the blame. He may have a shocking group of players but he has lost his touch. Joselu and Pérez wouldn’t get in a pub team #NUFC
ODI England take series lead in Sri Lanka as Eoin Morgan stars
ODI: England take series lead in Sri Lanka as Eoin Morgan stars. Eoin Morgan paved the way for a comfortable England victory over Sri Lanka with a captain's innings of 92 in the second one-day international. Morgan suggested earlier this week he would be prepared to drop himself before next year's World Cup if he no longer justified a place in the team but on this form that is as likely as a dry day in Dambulla. The series opener was washed out by thunderstorms and although the heavy rain again forced a premature end to proceedings at the Ranjiri Stadium, the tourists did enough to come away with a 31-run win on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method. ðŸ´ó §ó ¢ó ¥ó ®ó §ó ¿ England 278/9 (50/50 overs)💪 Morgan 92👠Root 71🇱🇰 Sri Lanka 140/5 (29/29 overs)🔥 Woakes 3-26🙌 England win by 31 runs (DLS)#SLvENG pic.twitter.com/vAdM5mI5AQ Olly Stone will also remember the day fondly after his debut fell foul of the weather, raising pulses with a rapid spell of fast bowling and taking his first international scalp with a bouncer that left Niroshan Dickwella flailing. England's 278 for nine, built around Morgan's measured effort and Joe Root's industrious 71, proved plenty despite a nostalgia-inducing spell from Lasith Malinga. The 35-year-old rolled back the years to claim five for 44 but England seamer Chris Woakes proved equally adept with three quick wickets that left the reply in tatters. After being asked to bat first England suffered their first setback before a run had been scored, Jason Roy turning Malinga's fourth ball obligingly to mid-wicket. The Yorkshire pair Jonny Bairstow and Root ensured no more early dramas with stand of 72. Root was at his most fluent with the field up and balls new, with five of his first 15 deliveries clipped to the boundary including three in a row from Malinga. He would have to wait 54 balls to find the ropes again but never allowed his scoring rate to drag with a combination of canny placement and hard running. Bairstow, by contrast, never quite found his feet. The opener became only the sixth Englishman to score 1,000 ODI runs in a calendar year but when he lost his off-stump to Thisara Perera it was no great surprise. Root benefited from Morgan's arrival, the Irishman troubled at first by spin but always ready with a punchy riposte. The only two sixes of the innings belonged to him, a clean strike off Thisara and a brutal blow back over Dhananjaya de Silva. Root, already dropped on 48, had begun to tire when he chipped De Silva to cover via a leading edge - 309 runs and four games since his last dismissal. Morgan responded by putting the pressure back on Sri Lanka with a series of aggressive strokes. An 11th century was calling when Malinga intervened, drawing a mis-hit off the toe end and gathering the return catch. Malinga's trademark yorkers went on to account for Moeen Ali, Woakes and Liam Dawson as Sri Lanka battled back to the tune of five for 69 in the last 10 overs. Any possibility of capitalising evaporated almost instantly as their experienced top order were blown away. Woakes found a nagging groove outside off stump and soon started finding edges, Upul Tharanga and Dasun Shanaka nicking behind and captain Dinesh Chandimal playing on. Niroshan Dickwella briefly recalled predecessor Tillakaratne Dilshan with a brave lap-sweep off Woakes but Stone took care of him. Hopes are high that the Warwickshire man become England's 90mph battering ram and his wicket fanned those flames, dug in short, rising viciously and crashing into the batsman's glove. The contest was effectively lost at 31 for four and although Thisara (44no) led a middle-order revival, their 29-over score of 140 for five was nowhere near enough when the rain came.
Austria 1 0 Northern Ireland Marko Arnautovic on target for hosts
Austria 1-0 Northern Ireland: Marko Arnautovic on target for hosts. Northern Ireland's Nations League worries deepened as Austria's Marko Arnautovic condemned them to a 1-0 defeat in Vienna. The West Ham striker scored the only goal in the 71st minute to leave Michael O'Neill's men without a point from their opening two matches in League B's Group 3. With the risk of relegation growing, they now need to win Monday's match against Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo to keep their fate in their own hands. Arnautovic, a constant thorn in the Northern Ireland defence, sprung the offside trap to get on to Peter Zulj's pass before slotting the ball past Bailey Peacock-Farrell to settle a close contest. Following Kyle Lafferty's shock decision to withdraw himself from the squad at the last minute, Josh Magennis was the man to start up front for Northern Ireland, but the Bolton man's first major contribution was in defence. His somewhat awkward touch did the job in diverting Marcel Sabitzer's shot over the crossbar as he fired through the crowd when Northern Ireland could only half-clear an early corner. Bailey Peacock-Farrell - involved in the mix-up which gifted Bosnia and Herzegovina a crucial second goal in Belfast last month - then committed a major mental error when he picked up Jonny Evans' back-pass to give away an indirect free-kick, and the Leeds stopper was grateful to see Arnautovic fire into the wall. Northern Ireland did not get a sniff of goal until after the half-hour mark when Ollie Norwood's raking ball found the run of Shane Ferguson, but the Millwall man - making his first start in almost two years - got his angles all wrong to head high and wide. ARNAUTOVIC GOALThe West Ham man gives Austria the lead against Northern Ireland.Watch the UEFA Nations League live on Sky Sports: https://t.co/66OYEzAptk pic.twitter.com/4MFb9eT6q7 All the chances that had been missing in the first half seemed to arrive at one when the second half began. First, Austria could only half-clear Stuart Dallas' long throw and Paddy McNair tried to curl the rebound home, but it was an easy enough save for Heinz Lindner. The hosts then went straight to the other end where a mis-hit clearance fell kindly for Arnautovic, who bundled his way past Dallas before hitting a low shot which Peacock-Farrell diverted wide. The Leeds man then denied Sabitzer after his turn and shot, while Steven Davis dragged his shot wide after being played through on goal by Dallas. Arnautovic wanted a penalty when he tried to cut in from the right and tumbled over Jamal Lewis in the 65th minute, but the referee showed no interest. He would soon have his goal regardless, providing the one real moment of class in the match. And it was almost 2-0 when Stefan Lainer turned Valentino Lazaro's corner into the side-netting. O'Neill went into all-out attack mode as Rotherham striker Kyle Vassell came on to make his debut, swiftly followed by Will Grigg, and the Wigan man was inches away from an equaliser when he twisted to head McNair's 84th-minute corner on to the far post. But that was as close as they would come, and the match ended with Arnautovic missing a fine chance to make it 2-0 as he fired wide from a tight angle.
