WATCH Did 'soft' Mohamed Salah penalty cost Newcastle
WATCH: Did 'soft' Mohamed Salah penalty cost Newcastle?. Was Rafa Benitez right to blame Mohamed Salah's "soft" penalty as a "crucial" part of Newcastle's defeat at Liverpool? Salah scored from the spot moments after referee Graham Scott judged he had been fouled by Paul Dummett when the Newcastle defender tugged back his arm inside the penalty area, three minutes after half-time in Liverpool's 4-0 win. Newcastle were only a goal behind at the time and Benitez said after the game the "soft" decision had squandered any chance his side had of getting back into the match. He said: "The soft penalty in the game made the difference, we were in the game at 1-0 at half-time, but when we conceded the second goal it was more difficult for us to react against a very good team. "The second goal was crucial, it gave them more confidence and was more difficult for us, you have to take more risks, be more open then you make more mistakes and pay for that." So did Salah go down too easily, and should it have been a penalty? Click play on the video above to judge for yourself. Predict 6 correct scores for your chance to win £250K.
Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri says his side 'reacted well' after weekend defeat
Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri says his side 'reacted well' after weekend defeat. Maurizio Sarri says Chelsea "reacted well" after their defeat to Leicester last weekend, beating Watford 2-1 on Boxing Day. Eden Hazard scored twice in the Premier League win at Vicarage Road, which came four days after a loss to the Foxes at home. Sarri was pleased with how his side responded and believes Chelsea could have won by more, telling Sky Sports: "I think that we played a good match with a good level of determination and attention for 90 minutes. December 30, 2018, 11:30am Live on "I think we could have won with another result, we missed three or four good opportunities in the last 20 minutes but I am really very happy with the reaction and application for 95 minutes. Today we reacted very well while playing our football. Get Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Football for just £18 a month "The performance is very important because maybe in the last match [against Leicester], in the first half, we played better in quality, better than tonight, but in this match, the level of application was really very good." Hazard scored his 100th and 101st goals for Chelsea in all competitions on Wednesday, and Sarri is pleased with how he played as a false nine. "I think he played very well for the two goals but no only because of that, he was really very good and to come to play for his team-mates, in open spaces and with assists. "I like him in every position, he is a very great player. I think we need this solution because we need to be more solid in the defensive phase so I think with this, we can score and become more solid in defence."

Fulham vs Wolves preview Claudio Ranieri's side look to move off bottom
Fulham vs Wolves preview: Claudio Ranieri's side look to move off bottom. Fulham will be looking to end a five-match winless run and move off the bottom of the Premier League when they host Wolves on Boxing Day, live on Sky Sports. The Cottagers have not tasted victory since Claudio Ranieri's first game in charge, a 3-2 win over Southampton on November 24. They did manage to keep their first clean sheet of the season in a 0-0 draw with Newcastle on Saturday, and Ranieri hopes they can build on that. December 26, 2018, 12:00pm Live on "The atmosphere is always positive and today it is more positive," he said. "Now our minds are on Wolverhampton. [Nuno] Espirito Santo is doing a good job, I watch their match against Liverpool. Wolverhampton played a fantastically. They create two or three great chances in the first half and Liverpool at the end won the match. It will be another tough match for us." Wolves saw their three-match winning run ended with a 2-0 home defeat to Premier League leaders Liverpool on Friday. Get Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Football for just £18 a month Fulham boss Claudio Ranieri has no fresh injury problems. Winger Ryan Sessegnon missed Saturday's goalless Premier League draw at Newcastle with a groin strain and could return as the Londoners attempt to build upon a first Premier League clean sheet of the season on Tyneside. There was no place either for midfielder Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa as he recovers from a knock, but Ranieri reported an otherwise clean bill of health after the 90 minutes at St James' Park. Diogo Jota is likely to miss Wolves' trip to Fulham as he continues to battle a hamstring injury. Boss Nuno Espirito Santo confirmed the forward remains a doubt having missed Friday's 2-0 defeat to Liverpool. Conor Coady and Ryan Bennett are one caution away from a suspension ahead of the yellow card amnesty. I watched Fulham on Saturday and they looked quite solid and you would never have guessed they have let in a million goals already this season. They defended really well, while Wolves got well beat by Liverpool, so I am going to go for a must-win Fulham victory. I just think that they have got to win this game, so they will have a lot more intensity than Wolves. PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 (10/1 with Sky Bet) Predict 6 correct scores for your chance to win £250K.
Cardiff experience will help Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United, says Craig Bellamy
Cardiff experience will help Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United, says Craig Bellamy. Craig Bellamy says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will have learnt a lot from his experiences at Cardiff after being "thrown in at the deep end" at Manchester United. Solskjaer 'loan' costing Utd £1.8m Solskjaer arrives for Man Utd training Solskjaer has been appointed caretaker manager at Old Trafford until the end of the season following Jose Mourinho's sacking and his first test comes against Cardiff, the club where he had a short-lived spell as manager in 2014. Solskjaer left Molde to replace Malkay Mackay at the Cardiff City Stadium in January 2014 but he could not help the club beat relegation from the Premier League - and after a poor start to the following season in the Championship - he left his post just eight months after his appointment. "I can only talk of my experiences of him when he was at Cardiff," Bellamy told The Debate. "He came in from Molde at a difficult time for the football club. There was a lot going on at the club at the time with the shirt colour and it's always difficult for any manager coming in January anyway. "The club and the supporters weren't quite getting along so he came into a difficult situation. "His recruitment was poor. He had a January transfer window and the players he brought in, especially from Norway, were nowhere near good enough. They didn't have an impact on us straight away and didn't help improve the team. "With the way he wanted to play he realised after a few weeks he didn't quite have the team or the players to implement the way he wanted to play. He ended up changing his mind straight away and going back to what Malky Mackay did, but it was all change. He was learning at the time." While Bellamy, who played under the Norwegian at Cardiff, is surprised at Solskjaer's appointment at United, the former Wales international says he deserves another opportunity. "Of course, I was surprised," he said. "It's a different situation [at Manchester United]. "I'm surprised it's at a club like Manchester United but I would have liked to have seen him get another opportunity because I'm sure he would've learned so much from the Cardiff experience. "In the end it must've deflated him. You could see, even in the last few weeks of his job at Cardiff, he was a beaten man. He went back to Molde, he went back to what he knows and now he's going to get an opportunity at the biggest club in the world. "He's gone straight in at the deep end but he's going to work with better players and I'm sure he will be much better for the experience he had at Cardiff."

WATCH Bernd Leno's costly howler gifts Southampton victory

Long burst away down the right-hand side and his cross deceived Leno, who misjudged the flight, and allowed Austin to head into the empty net. Watch Leno's costly mistake above...

FC Zurich condemn fans who threw a banana at Basel player Aldo Kalulu
FC Zurich condemn fans who threw a banana at Basel player Aldo Kalulu. Swiss club FC Zurich have condemned fans who threw a banana at rival player Aldo Kalulu when he went to take a corner during their league match at FC Basel on Sunday. Zurich admitted the banana came from the part of the St Jakob Park stadium that was occupied by their supporters. Kalulu, a Frenchman of Rwandan descent, was also pelted with cigarette lighters when the 22-year-old went to take the corner in the ninth minute of Basel's 2-0 win. Zurich issued a statement that said: "In the early stages of (the match) against Basel, a banana was thrown out of FCZ's fan zone towards FCB player Aldo Kalulu when he went to take a corner. "The club strongly condemns this racist behaviour and does not tolerate it in any way. There is no room for xenophobia and discrimination in football. "FCZ has always been committed to diversity and welcomes all people, regardless of their background or religion." The Swiss Football League has yet to comment on the incident.
