Huddersfield Vs Manchester City

... second goal against Oxford United with team-mates Calum Chambers and Adama Traore at the Riverside Stadium. Huddersfield Town 0-0 Manchester City. You're always learning in football, and I'm finding out there is actually a decent keeper in Bravo who saves once again from Van La Parra after a good run from Collin Quaner. GOAL! MIDDLESBROUGH 2-0 Oxford United. Moments after Oxford have a goal ruled out for a Kane Hemmings foul on Bernardo Espinosa, Boro double their lead. Rudy Gestede netting his first goal for the club after joining from Aston Villa in January - he may not score a better one either having netted with a wonderful bicycle kick. Grant Leadbitter's penalty opened the scoring in the FA Cup. Middlesbrough's Stewart Downing is fouled by Oxford's Christopher Maguire to win a penalty.

Football’s Most Disgraceful Dive

... took the ridiculous dive you can watch above. Can a dive get any more absurd than that? Rhead extends his arm to point to something, and Barton scurries over to his arm and crouches down, pretending he’d been elbowed in the face. — Rousing The Kop (@Rousing The Kop) February 18, 2017. When that didn’t work, he begged the referee for a card, which never came. The video evidence is pretty clear, right? Not according to Barton. The midfielder was getting slammed on social media after the match, and went on to defend himself, claiming he was just trying to duck under Rhead’s arm, for some reason. Wasn't trying to get the Big Man sent off. It was my job to front screen and disrupt him. Was trying to get back in front of him. (1). — Joseph Barton (@Joey 7 Barton) February 18, 2017. Tried to duck under his arm and he moved it back and hit me on the head. Contact is part of the game, no problem with that. (2). — Joseph Barton ...

Jose Mourinho Worried About Manchester United’s Fixture Congestion

... Saint-Etienne, accusing them of being too relaxed during the warm-up. It is true United started slowly against their Ligue 1 opponents, but a Zlatan Ibrahimovic hat-trick has put them in a strong position to secure a last-16 place in France next Wednesday. United are in the midst of a glut of cup fixtures at the moment, with the final of the EFL Cup against Southampton to come at Wembley on February 26, and Mourinho is worried about the effect that may have on their Premier League form. “With the accumulation of FA Cup, League Cup and matches postponed, it is really hard for us,” the Portuguese handler said. “If we progress in the competitions, we will be in trouble in April and May. But we cannot choose competitions, so we play to win.”. United won the FA Cup for the first time since 2004 by beating Crystal Palace in last season’s final, and their defence of the trophy has been untroubled so far, with two 4-0 home wins over Championship opponents, Reading and Wigan. Mourinho is likely to make changes for the game, and does have injury concerns to contend with. Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick missed the win over Saint-Etienne with minor muscular injuries, ...

Sutton Hero Jamie Collins Has Eye On Arsenal Star Ahead Of Fa Cup Clash

... and beat them 2-1. “The in the fifth round of the Carling Cup we played Manchester United at home, so I’ve had a good Cup run. But depending on the team they put out, if they put a strong team out it’s going to be right up there. “Best player I’ve played against? Pogba played for Manchester United, he was young at the time. Against Liverpool , Steven Gerrard came on so I would say probably Gerrard.”. Sutton’s away dressing room could be the levelling point. Collins added: “When Arsenal see how small it is and the colour it is, and they won’t be used to that. “But when we all started out we all had a dream about playing at the top. They are obviously living the dream. We still live the dream but in a different way and when the whistle blows it will be 11 versus 11 and the best team will win. If we can do little bits and bobs that will upset them a little bit then might help but at the end of the day we know it’s going to be an uphill task. “We’re come here expecting to get something like we ...

Huddersfield Town Vs. Manchester City

... to intervene, sending on De Bruyne and Sane. Goal's Sam Lee thought that was the right move. Sam Lee @Sammy_Goal. I thought Sane not starting would've caused a problem but City probably needed Nolito's battling qualities at start. Good time for LS now. 2/18/2017, 4:28:03 PM. Navas nearly provided the opening City needed with a sharp cross that eluded everyone, but despite City's best efforts, momentum shifted back to the hosts as the half wore on. Stones had a half chance, heading the ball over the bar from a corner kick, and De Bruyne was called back for what appeared to be a nonexistent foul. Kachunga earned a free-kick and had a shooting chance as a result, but he couldn't trouble Bravo. Kachunga again tried his luck with a curling shot that missed the mark, and perhaps a pass would have been a better idea. The final chance fell to Stones, who was unable to convert a corner. As reported by Andy Hampson of the Press Association, Guardiola is convinced the club's impending trip to Abu Dhabi will go ahead as planned, despite the need for a replay. Andy Hampson @andyhampson. Guardiola says Abu Dhabi trip not affected ...

Antonio Conte Used Today's Fa Cup Upsets To Issue Firm Warning To Chelsea Players

... in the day. Saturday 18 February 2017 20:57 GMT. Click to follow. The Independent Football. Antonio Conte used Saturday’s earlier FA Cup shocks to “warn” his Chelsea players what could happen if they were not focused against Wolves, as he praised Lincoln City’s fifth-round win away to Burnley as an “incredible” feat that could not happen in his home country of Italy. Before Chelsea won 2-0 at Molineux in the 5.30 pm kick-off, both Lincoln and Millwall scored late winners in 1-0 victories over Burnley and Leicester City respectively, and the Italian said he spoke about this with his squad. “The result this afternoon, I try to warn the changing room about the difficulty of this game, of this competition,” Conte said. “I like to repeat that in every competition you have to face doesn’t exist an easy game. It’s true, not because I like to repeat this.”. Chelsea see off Wolves to emerge unscathed from day of FA Cup shocks. Asked about Lincoln, Conte was effusive in his praise. “This a great achievement for them, and I think the people of the football, of the FA Cup, it’s incredible this, I think in Italy it’s ...

Oxford Just Miss Out On Fa Cup Replay

... a 2-0 lead inside a single madcap second-half minute, but Uruguay international Stuani came to the rescue with an 86 th-minute winner to secure a place in the last eight for the first time since 2009. Grant Leadbitter's penalty and January signing Rudy Gestede's first goal for the club had given Boro a commanding half-time lead, but Chris Maguire's superb free-kick and Antonio Martinez's equaliser just seconds later left the result in the melting pot. Middlesbrough's Rudy Gestede scores his side's second goal at the Riverside Stadium. Photo: Richard Sellers/PA. Oxford might have taken an early lead when goalkeeper Simon Eastwood saw his scuffed clearance fall to a yellow, rather than a red, shirt and when Ryan Ledson helped the ball forward, Martinez turned central defender Bernardo Espinosa all too easily, but could not beat Brad Guzan with his shot. Shaken from their slumbers, Boro responded in determined fashion with Viktor Fischer and Adama Traore prospering out wide and Leadbitter and Stewart Downing ...

... FA Cup run. GIUSEPPE MURO at The Den. Saturday 18 February 2017 17:42 GMT. Click to follow. In Pictures | Millwall vs Leicester City | 18/02/2017. Getty Images. Amid the ongoing concerns over The Den and the pressures of a tight push for the play-offs in League One, Millwall have added another Premier League scalp to a remarkable FA Cup run. Despite Jake Cooper's red card, the defender shown a second yellow after a needless challenge on Ahmed Musa, the Lions roared back with intent and defender Shaun Cummings found himself up the wrong end of the pitch at the right time to hold off Ben Chilwell and slot home the winner in the final minute. First Bournemouth, then Watford and now Premier League champions Leicester City. With Lincoln City making the biggest headlines for their elimination of Burnley, the rampant ...

There is a lot of talk of 16-year-old left-back Ryan Sessegnon, who is an outstanding prospect, but Tom Cairney in midfield is a very good player. In Slavisa Jokanovic, the former Watford boss, they have a manager who really should still be in the Premier League as well. We are not quite sure what sort of team Tottenham will put out.
