Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers blames Hamilton's synthetic pitch for Bhoys' lacklustre performance
Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers blamed Hamilton's synthetic pitch for his side's poor showing against 10 men, despite running out 2-1 winners. The Bhoys enjoyed more than 70 per cent of possession at New Douglas Park, but were far from their best against Martin Canning's side, and rarely looked like adding to their two goals against a side batting r

England Women 0-0 Wales Women: Lionesses draw a blank
England Women missed the chance to top their World Cup qualifying group as they were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Wales in Southampton on Friday night. The toothless Lionesses failed to crack Wales' ultra-defensive set-up, labouring to a galling goalless draw in new boss Phil Neville's first home game at the helm.England dominated territory and possession from first to last, but still failed to conjure any genuine clear-cut goalscoring chances. Wales boss Jayne Ludlow's 4-5-1 formation and regimented approach thwarted England at every turn - leaving the visitors celebrating a hard-fought point that keeps them top of Group A.Neville's England might now be ranked second in the world, but they could do nothing to break down a side rated 34th in the global reckoning.Wales' stifling tactics worked wonders for the visitors, but England fell far too easily into those well-laid traps.Neville's team failed to force any daylight between Wales' blanket double-lined defensive coverage, duly paying the price by failing to claim victory.Rachel Rowe fired a wild volley for Wales in a rare first-half foray.But despite England's total dominance in territory and possession, the visitors had the first clear chance of the half.Natasha Harding's low drive cannoned off Steph Houghton, with Lucy Bronze clearing on the line.Referee Pernilla Larsson rejected Wales' claims the ball had crossed the line, leaving the travelling players frustrated to be denied the goal.Jordan Nobbs blasted a long-distance effort against the crossbar in England's only true threatening moment of the first half, with goalkeeper Laura O'Sullivan just managing to tip the strike to safety.Fran Kirby's fine technical volley was well blocked as the pattern of England pressing without reward resumed after the break.Melissa Lawley and Ellen White injected much-needed impetus off the bench, as the hosts realised they had to crank up the pressure to break the deadlock.First White only just failed to reach Lawley's low cross, then the Birmingham striker fired off a smarting half-volley, only for O'Sullivan to save with precious little fuss.England kept pressing, but kept on failing to provide enough control or acumen to steal the victory.Abbie McManus poked wide from a late corner, before Kirby saw a long-range effort tipped over by O'Sullivan.
Silva and Gundogan show depth of class at Man City
Adrian Clarke looks at two unsung midfielders who have have been vital for title chasers Manchester City have won many plaudits this season but, with Pep Guardiola's team on the verge of the Premier League title, two players perhaps have not got the credit they deserve. Bernardo Silva and Ilkay Gundogan have primarily been used as back-ups by Guardiola, but have still featured in 29 and 23 Premier League matches respectively. They have both made important contributions. Silva strengths Silva has slotted seamlessly into Guardiola’s system. Competing with Raheem Sterling on the right of the attack, the 23-year-old has delivered wonderful moments with his left foot. His curling goal at Arsenal was a highlight, and he has also scored against Chelsea, Liverpool and Stoke City. The Portugal international has created four goals, too. Only Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva and Leroy Sane can beat his minutes-per-assist rate. Silva for Man City in 2017/18 Total MCI rank Ave speed 7.5 km/h 1 Distance covered per 90 12.5 km 2 Mins per assist 289 4 Chances created per 90 1.8 7 Shots on target per 90 0.8 6 Tackles won per 90 1.2 6 Silva’s busy playing style is perhaps the best of his strengths. He is always on the move, eager to create space for himself and others. The winger made the most sprints of any City player in his last two starts against Arsenal and Chelsea. Great Gundogan Gundogan has showcased his value to the team. The German can offer Guardiola versatility, shining as a box-to-box midfielder or as a deep-lying playmaker. Gundogan for Man City in 2017/18 Total MCI rank Ave speed 7.4 2 Distance covered/90 12.2 3 Ball recoveries/90 6.7 3 Passes/90 85.0 6 Passes in opp. half/90 54.6 6 Chances created/90 1.5 8 Pass accuracy 91.5% 7 Gundogan is hardworking, but his distribution that stands out. His pass accuracy of 91.5 per cent makes him the best midfield passer on City's books. The discipline of his performance when deputising for the injured Fernandinho at home to Chelsea last month was incredible. Gundogan remained exclusively inside the middle third and ran the show with a remarkable 181 touches. That was a match-high figure and 74 ahead of the combined total of Chelsea’s midfield pairing of Cesc Fabregas and Danny Drinkwater. It was a special performance in which Gundogan completed 167 passes, a PL record, with an accuracy of 96 per cent. If Guardiola decides to start Silva or Gundogan in Saturday’s derby against Manchester United, it is hard to say he will be weakening City side at all. These two brilliant footballers would walk into almost every other side in the division.
