The goal stood after a video assistant referee review for handball. Madrid looked comfortable at that stage but Merino rifled a shot in via the underside of the crossbar, after a cross from substitute Roberto Lopez, to keep the closing minutes interesting. The visitors' biggest problem from the game came when Ramos was injured soon after his goal and needed an ice pack on his leg in the stands. Madrid - who have only won one La Liga title since 2012 - are now eight victories away from winning the league. They need six points from their remaining six matches to guarantee safety and will be hoping three come from this clash. However, their ambitions may be dented by the fact that they have lost seven straight matches against City. For Southampton, the return of football has had mixed fortunes; they have registered two wins and a loss. That's left them in fifth place and they host Slavia Mozyr who are 10th in the table. Dinamo Brest won the title last season by five points but had to come from behind against Smolevich to get a 1-1 draw in their opener. They got off the mark for the season with a 1-0 win at Slutsk. Dinamo are now unbeaten in their last 22 competitive games and no losses in their last nine home league matches. Varnsdorf will host Viktoria Zizkov for this fixture of the league. I believe, the visitors have a real chance to get all three points in this match. Zizkov are more ambitious team in this season. They have a chance to reach for one of the top three places in the table. On the other hand Varnsdorf are currently bottom of the table. The hosts have less potential. They are constantly getting closer to the relegation zone. True, in last game Varnsdorf is won 1-2 against Jihlava. In any case, Zizkov is really better team. I expect, the visitors will go in this game to victory. I came on at half-time and we were dominating the ball but we weren't good enough in the final third. We didn't have a real chance. It was tough. As the game goes on, you think 'this is going to be one of those games where we can't score'. At full-time] everyone went in to the dressing and there was swearing, people moaning and then it went silent. Then Roy and his staff announced that they were leaving and it was: 'Oh God. Mid-table Sassuolo had drawn five and lost eight of their previous 13 meetings with Roma but never looked back after striker Francesco Caputo stunned the visitors with two goals in the first 16 minutes. Caputo broke clear to sweep the ball past Pau Lopez in the seventh minute, then finished off a slick passing move by turning in Jeremy Toljan's pass nine minutes later. He said: \"There are a lot of teams at the top who are looking tired. Then you look at Liverpool and the way they came back to win late at Crystal Palace. We don't think about these things'A huge sigh of relief could be heard around Anfield when referee Martin Atkinson sounded the final whistle on Saturday. Liverpool had the points and Klopp joined his players on the pitch to applaud the fans - the German preferring to concentrate on the positives afterwards. Egypt's instabilities meant that professional football was not played until 2013-14, and for Haras El Hodood it was a return to the chasing pack. There are not too many examples around the world of a league being suspended and unable to return, and fewer again where no championship or relegations are conferred on sides at the time of suspension. This is one of them - will there be another soon?Barcelona 2009-2011 - hopes of first Champions League treble hit by intervention from above Pep Guardiola won 14 trophies in four years as Barcelona managerWhen Pep Guardiola took charge of Barcelona in the summer of 2008, his side adhered to Cruyff's Total Football philosophy, with Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta and Xavi leading a thrilling side. Mitrovic led with his elbow into Leeds defender Ben White inside the opening two minutes and though it was unseen by the referee he is almost certain to face retrospective punishment. Patrick Bamford gave the hosts the lead with a cool finish inside the opening 10 minutes after an incisive run and cutback from Helder Costa. Leeds doubled their lead after the break when substitute Ezgjan Alioski scored with a low finish after two Fulham defenders failed to cut out Jack Harrison's low centre, and Harrison wrapped it up on the counter-attack. Murray has accounted for 26. Brighton's Premier League goals - more than any other player for the Seagulls and the second-highest percentage of a single team's goals in the competition's history. Murray's goal against West Ham was also his first of the 2020s and means he has now scored in three different decades for the Seagulls. Kane is out until April, although it could be longer after Mourinho admitted the England forward may miss the rest of the season. Paper Round's view: Just names at the moment, but Spurs need to act quick if they do indeed want a Kane replacement. As the games tick by, top four seems more out of reach. The home side are in good form right now. They have suffered only 1 defeat in their last 6 matches. They are coming off a away defeat against Termalica by 4-0 goals. But their home form is pretty neat. They have managed 15 points from 10 home matches. They have won 4 drawn 3 and lost 3 matches in the home ground in this season. More calamitous defending allowed Todd Cantwell to re-establish Norwich's lead, with the midfielder slicing through the Gunners defence and placing an effort into the bottom corner on the stroke of half-time. However, Aubameyang again drew the visitors level, turning in a loose ball from a corner to ensure Arsenal gained a share of the points. Follow all the Premier League actionNew boss same leaky defenceArsenal have a number of issues that they will need to resolve before they can hope to compete for a Premier League title again, and the most pressing remains in defence. Zbrojovka Brno will host Dukla Praha for this fixture of the league. Perhaps, the hosts are favorites in this game. Brno is very ambitious team in this season. They are currently on the 2nd place with 37 points. Also, the hosts have a great winning series - 5 wins in a row. On the other hand Dukla Praha is very average team in this season. They are currently on the 5th place with 34 points. Yeah, the visitors have big fluctuations. However, Dukla Praha have better results in the last mutual matches. After all, I think, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance in this game. My pick - Dukla Praha to win. Neither side was perfect, and it showed in the 0-0 draw that followed, but with two attacking managers and some promising pieces it was easy to see why both fanbases were beginning to get excited about the futures. Don’t forget, the Jose Mourinho banter period was already well underway at this stage at Stamford Bridge and it was easy to find flaws in the long-term plans at the Emirates and Old Trafford despite decent starts to that campaign before the Leicester City miracle took hold. Atleti's Champions League progress is also far from assured as they sit just one point clear of Bayer Leverkusen with one group stage game left to play. Over to you, Arsenal Twitter. Bale shocked by Madrid jeers Gareth Bale has admitted that he was surprised initially when he was jeered by Real Madrid fans after posing with a banner than read 'Wales. He has certain characteristics that suit our style of football. It’s very important to have him in both the defensive and attacking phases,” Conte said. He is entering a new world -- in Italy it is more tactical. I hope he won’t need a lot of time to adjust because we need him straight away. He is an intelligent player who is adapting quickly. Eintracht Frankfurt will make the short journey to take on Mainz in this Monday evening's Bundesliga fixture. Despite the short distance to Mainz, we feel that Eintracht's poor away form will hinder them this Monday. Eintracht have lost four of their five Bundesliga away games this season, winning just one. Mixed emotions for me. Great to see one of the world's best back but it was a decision which hurt to leave Paulo out,\" Mourinho told reporters after the 2-1 victory that lifted his side up to sixth in the table. The good thing is that (Paulo's) such a good member of the family and a special friend of Hugo that he shared our happiness to have Hugo back. The home team have scored a 4 goal total and 5 goal total in recent home matches they can be a high scoring team at times and really open up their matches. They look very attacking here and their balls into the box have looked much higher. The away team have struggled a little with defending and this could allow the home team to once again get a bag of goals. This match should not be seeing less than 3 goals as the home team has simply looked far to strong here with the amount of chances they get in matches
