Rangers were careless in possession and inviting pressure. Gradually, though, they recovered from the sticky start and began to fashion a threat. Morelos - the tournament's top scorer - looked set to add to his tally as Gerrard's side found some joy from popping passes into space behind the Braga defence. Morelos broke clear, but goalkeeper Matheus stayed tall and stuck out a boot to save. The Brazilian repeated the trick soon after from an acute angle when Morelos latched on to a perfectly weighted Hagi through ball.

The equaliser was deserved. On the winning goal: "We had to counter because they had pinned us right back. We were always waiting for a moment or a chance. We hoped luck would change for us, we felt it had not been with us in some games, we worked harder and deserved that luck. We need him (Antonio) so much. He led the line really well. You have to win a game people have not been expecting. I think it was a shock after we saw the performance of Chelsea at Manchester City.

It was their first league title in the Premier League era. Given the novelty, one can understand Sir Alex Ferguson's good grace in letting the Blues have their day at Old Trafford. The Manchester United manager may not have realised though that he would be entering into a proper power struggle and that it would be 2007 before he won another title. Either way, the United fans in the Stretford End were not so welcoming and Chelsea were roundly booed onto the pitch.
Christophe Galtier's Lille hadn't won on the road since March before their clash in Lyon on Tuesday but a massive goal from Jonathan Ikoné ended that run and they'll be hoping to carry that momentum into this game. Les Dogues have now won back-to-back games for the first time this season following the Lyon victory and their narrow win over Dijon last week. They had been conceding far too many goals up until this point but have calmed everything down over the past week.
It's no surprise that Alaves have yielded just a solitary point from their last four outings with such a high volume of goals conceded, and even that came against 19th placed Leganes (1-1) here on Matchday 17.
Both teams will want the win here and the guests have played 3 games in a row in the league at this moment away from home with over 2.5 goals scored even in them while 9 out of their 10 away games so far this season had at least 2 goals scored in them with 4 games ending with just 2 goals and the other 5 with at least 3 goals scored at the same time plus a nil draw but there are really good chances that there should be at least 2 goals scored here in this one at combo odds.
As things stand, they are in the race for European places, the ban handed to Manchester City by UEFA opening up an additional Champions League place. It would be incredible to see them make it to the top table of European football on the first attempt. On their minds this week, though, is the FA Cup.
Fortuna Düsseldorf will be expecting Werder Bremen in a relegation fight to decide who moves out of relegation. A win here will push the winner out of relegation if the other relegation mates didn't win their games.

Wolves' two goals were very different. The first owed a lot to the Hammers' poor marking, as they allowed Dendoncker space to poke home Moutinho's dead ball. And the second was a result of Jonny's superb lung-busting run which was followed by a pinpoint finish from Cutrone. Haller disappoints for the HammersWest Ham were poor.
Ozil does not speak for Arsenal - Wenger"The German player Ozil posted an extreme statement about China on social media," it said in a statement. The speech hurt the feelings of Chinese fans and violated the sports spirit of love and peace. We do not understand, accept or forgive this. Arsenal said the club is "apolitical" and China's foreign ministry claimed 31-year-old Ozil - who is of Turkish origin - was "deceived by fake news".
In the final moments of the game, it looked like Spurs would take home the full three points as the ball made it as far as the line but not quite over it before new boy Ignacio Pussetto cleared it, salvaging a point for his team. Spurs next face Norwich in the league on Wednesday, while Watford face Aston Villa on Tuesday.

Why Arsenal v Man City was not shown in China after Ozil comments Arsenal distanced itself from Ozil’s comments, saying that they were entirely his personal opinion.

I’ve already experienced their warmth, it’s been a fantastic welcome. I feel great. The numbers say that I did really well in England. It’s now time to start a new challenge, I’m really happy to have the opportunity to play in Serie A for a big team. Inter is a fantastic club. Eriksen always looked set to leave Tottenham after last season’s near-miss with the Champions League and stated his desire for a new challenge in the summer.
It's been a whirlwind year for Central Cordoba and though victory in this game would be the icing on the cake, it just doesn't appear likely. There is a huge disparity between the two in just about every metric and the fact River are already 9 points ahead of Central Cordoba with a game less played in regular league action tells its own story.
The role change has given Alli a shot in the arm and he has scored exquisite goals worthy of season-ending highlight reels. From a deft lob that flummoxed the Manchester United defence to set himself up for a volley to beat David De Gea to chesting down a long ball and chipping the goalkeeper against Bournemouth, Alli has thrived and rediscovered his golden touch.

Both sides are in very different positions ahead of their clash on Sunday. However, there could be very little between them on the pitch. Blackburn’s impressive eight-game unbeaten run has to be a factor here, but the fact that they’ve drawn three of their last four is a worry. Blackburn are unbeaten in their last three Championship away games (W2 D1), but they are hoping for back-to-back wins on the road for the first time since April.
The Saints recorded a 0-3 road victory on the last day of the game against Norwich. Although the first half remained relatively silent, the guests came back to life after the break. One after the other, they scored three unanswered goals to secure the three points. Meanwhile, the Gunners lost 2-1 on the road last week to Brighton. The guests had scored the first goal of the match at the end of the 68th minute. However, seven minutes later, they tied, and in the 90th and 5th minute, Brighton scored the winner. They lost fifteen games this season. Arsenal is in tenth place on the table. They only won eight games this season. They have lost the last two games. I think there could be a tie in this game.

Livingston has only won one of their last five Premiership games at the Tony Macaroni Arena, whilst Kilmarnock shares the same numbers on their trips. Moreover, the visitors have scored in five of their previous six away days, although only scoring a single goal in four of those games.

When I went outside it just looked like a war zone. You could smell gas, electricity poles were down and sparking fires, trees everywhere, debris everywhere, a real mess.

Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce says he has been told "there's nothing" in reports of a takeover of the club, by managing director Lee Charnley. BBC Sport understands talks on the potential £340m takeover of the St James' Park side by Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund are "advanced". However, Bruce said: "If there was something to talk about and something to tell me, he'll (Charnley) tell me.
I speak as a medical doctor, I don't have to speak as an organiser of matches, but for the moment from my medical standpoint I would be very sceptical.

Inter Milan went back to the top of Serie A, despite conceding a late equaliser to Fiorentina. Antonio Conte's visitors had led through Borja Valero's clever finish at the near post against his former club. Lautaro Martinez thought he scored another, but Romelu Lukaku was found to be offside in the build-up by the video assistant referee. And teenager Dusan Vlahovic levelled in stoppage time, running from his own half and firing home.
It’s hardly a shock that we expect goals following that fine run for both sides. Lazio have scored in 100% of their home games, while Juve have found the net in their last 11 matches. Both sides have so much attacking talent that both teams to score seems like a solid price here, having landed in four of Juve’s last five away trips in Serie A.
