Roma, along with Inter's rivals AC Milan, announced later on Thursday they will not work with Corriere dello Sport until January. A joint statement released at the same time by Roma and AC Milan said: "We have decided to ban Corriere dello Sport from our training facilities for the rest of the year and our players will not carry out any media activities with the newspaper during this period. Both clubs are aware the actual newspaper article associated with the 'Black Friday' headline did portray an anti-racist message and for this reason we have only banned Corriere dello Sport until January.
I think they deserved the victory by their first half. We didn’t start well at all," said Mourinho, whose side fell behind to a seventh-minute goal from Rashford. I think for the first 30 minutes they were the best team, and I think because of that, for this strong 30 minutes where we were not there, and also because of the way we conceded the second goal, I think they deserved to win," he added.
Adama Traore was a threat down Wolves' right side, but could not set up a goalWolves resilience impresses againThe draw meant that Wolves matched a top-flight unbeaten run last set by the club in 1973. More pleasing for Nuno will be the way his side reacted to going behind, especially as they played against Braga in Portugal in the Europa League on Thursday. This was their 27th game of the season and their resilience in combining both domestic and European form after a stuttering start to the campaign has been impressive.
Arsenal started with a draw and defeat in the first two games under new coach Arteta but have won the last two games against Manchester United and Leeds United without conceding a goal. And although Arsenal have struggled this season, they are undefeated in the last 5 away games.

In the previous season Orsha managed 10 points more than their today's opponent. They of course did not fight for any promotion but to stay in the league. But their away form was not good last season and it is obvious that they will not play so good in away matches this season too - the team managed not to lose in only six out of 14 away matches. They are travelling to Slonim. Slonim had a pretty good game and they will try to win - but osha is in good form and they beat Lida, which was among the candidates for promotion previous season. I think that Osha will at least not lose.
Solanke) felt his hamstring in the warmup when he was having a shot on goal. He was then warming up again at halftime and felt that he couldn't sprint. He had a scan on Monday and that came back all clear, so he should be ok for the weekend's game. However, Simon Francis, who was sent off for two yellow cards against Wolves, is suspended for one game as is Philip Billing who picked up his fifth booking of the season.
This had been a good week for Manchester City, with the Court of Arbitration for Sport overturning their two-year ban from European competitions after announcing the club was cleared of "disguising equity funds as sponsorship competitions". It has also been a week that has magnified the frailties Guardiola simply must address if they are to flourish in those competitions in the future. Arteta will have known those weakness but in reality they have been exposed all season as Manchester City lost nine Premier League games, leaving Liverpool to romp to their first title in 30 years with ease.
But it took 34 penalties before the game was finally decided by Taunton’s Jack Rice as he netted their 17th spotkick. In doing so they equalled the record set between Chelsea’s under-23 side and Oxford United in 2016 when the two clubs met in the EFL Trophy. Liverpool’s proposed Anfield expansion to reach 60,000 Liverpool have invited local residents to attend a public consultation event as they move forward with plans to increase Anfield’s capacity from 54,074 to 60,000.
Joshua King scored 48 Premier League goals for Bournemouth - seven more than any other player. Bournemouth ended a run of nine consecutive away Premier League defeats, with their first away win since triumphing 1-0 at Chelsea in December - and their first ever victory at Goodison Park. Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke has scored three goals in his last four Premier League appearances, having found the net only once in his first 59 games in the competition.
Paide were unlucky last season finishing 4th 3 points behind Kalju and an Europa league spot. But they are looking good again this season. They had a 3-1-1 record in the 5 friendlies and they started the league with a 8-1 win at Tallinna Kalev.
A number of countries around the world were represented by virtual fans in the standsDuring the match, the stands featured supporters' faces from countries including the United Kingdom, Russia, the United Arab Emirates and Iran. The team next face Isloch at the Brestsky Sports Complex on Sunday and the club have put virtual tickets on sale again. While most European countries are quarantining their citizens and shutting borders, the president of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, is not worried and has even suggested citizens drink vodka to combat the disease.

Off the post! A let off for de Gea, whose clearance is played straight to the feet of Pepe. He cuts inside and his curling effort cannons off the post. GOAL! Arsenal 2-0 Manchester United (Sokratis): Arsenal are battering United and now it's reflected on the score-line as Sokratis doubles their advantage from a corner, finishing on the rebound after de Gea had made an excellent save to deny Maitland-Niles' header at the near post.
Liverpool are a good team, European winners and respect to them. But we have won the Premier League twice in a row. So, in terms of consistency Man City are a better team, we just need to get that last one in Europe now just to show everyone. Guardiola's team won an unprecedented domestic treble last season but Europe remains the final frontier left to conquer.
Three weeks after Vitoria de Guimaraes signed then 20-year-old forward Bebe from a Portuguese third-tier side, United paid £7. Vitoria. Some £3m of the fee was reportedly paid to super-agent Jorge Mendes' Gestifute agency, a payment which later became part of a police investigation. He played a total of seven times for United - with zero Premier League starts - scoring against Wolves and Bursaspor.

The players themselves should see, if they could give up 20% of their wages to go to grassroots footballers further down the pyramid, that could save everybody," Heller said. That doesn't seem like too big an ask. I do not begrudge people earning huge money in normal times, I don't. The true fact of it is though, if you're earning £100,000 a week and you can't survive on £80,000 a week, you've got something very badly wrong in your life.
Hartlepool and Harrogate will face each other in the upcoming match in the UK National League. Hartlepool this season have the following results: 9W, 9D and 9L. Meanwhile Harrogate have 13W, 7D and 8L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
That's how it should be," said Neville. When we announced we were going to Middlesbrough [for the 2-1 defeat to Brazil in October] I will never forget the North East girls in the squad saying 'I have to go to that game, we have to stay in this hotel, there's a Pizza Hut over the road!' "There is a genuine excitement for them to get to a venue and Old Trafford will be one of those that they will be thinking now will be special.
Moyes 'big four' woes continueThis season's race for a Champions League spot may still be wide open - not least because of the uncertainty around Manchester City's European ban - but, once upon a time, the Premier League was dominated by the 'big four'. Although long since irrelevant with the rise of Manchester City, Tottenham, Leicester and co, that chapter in English top-flight history is one that still haunts West Ham manager David Moyes, whose miserable away record against those clubs was extended one 'L' further on Saturday.
WHO IS INTERESTED? Who isn’t? Juventus and Inter are already battling it out for his signature, Manchester United have reportedly made him one of their top priorities, and in France, PSG are said to be following the situation very closely.

Tottenham are unbeaten in each of their past 41 FA Cup home matches against teams from a lower division (won 34, drew seven) since a 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest in January 1975. Middlesbrough have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their past 13 meetings with Tottenham in all competitions since a 1-0 win at the Riverside Stadium in May 2005. For just the second time during his 923-game managerial career, Jose Mourinho has seen one of his clubs concede at least once in nine consecutive matches in all competitions, also suffering the same fate with Chelsea between May and September 2015.

With West Brom away on the horizon, Leeds need to get a home win here. They have a strong home record with only one defeat this season and are worthy favourites to win this game. Preston are fifth but need to improve their away form if they want a play-off place. The confident bet here is on a Leeds United home win.
Like Liverpool, Tottenham were also eliminated from Europe this week but unlike the Merseysiders, Jose Mourinho's side are in desperate need of points if they are to have any chance of qualifying for next season's Champions League. Spurs are currently eighth in the table, seven points behind fourth-placed Chelsea and a series of injuries, including to key striker Harry Kane, have hampered their form.
They have won two and drawn one in their last three matches and the momentum is there, though with Real Madrid’s ambitions, they know this is going to be tough. Granada started well when the league resumed, beating Getafe, but thereafter went on a four match winless run and their current run of three unbeaten matches should give them the needed motivation for the remaining three games.

TALKING POINT Who is in Arteta's first XI? Martinelli, Saka and Willock are better than Lacazette, Pepe and Guendouzi. Will Mikel Arteta keep them in for league games, when everyone is fit? MAN OF THE MATCH Joe Willock (Arsenal) Saka played well too, but Willock was the key man in the middle of the pitch, turning, running, always looking forward and involved in both goals.
The use of VAR has been surrounded by controversy and many fans feel it goes far beyond its original remit — to review the most glaring mistakes — and that decisions are taking too long. In the English Premier League, where VAR was introduced this season, critics have complained that the video referees -- who watch the game on monitors in an enclosed room -- have been taking the main decisions rather than officials on the pitch.
This thrashing, which is what it was in reality, was the harshest of lessons for the young players Lampard has counted on so heavily this season. Reece James, at 20, has huge promise as a right-back but this was one of his toughest nights as Bayern made it their business to target his side, all three goals coming from that direction. He will flourish for Chelsea but he will simply have to put this one in the bank and learn from it.
No green light for football yet'All the Premier League clubs are committed to playing the 92 remaining fixtures in the season when it is safe to do so. On Friday, Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden warned the game is yet to get the "green light". If we can get a plan that works then I'd like us to be able to go ahead with it because I think it would be good for the nation, it would be good for football as a whole," Dowden told BBC Radio 4.
They know just how crucial a win will be here, especially after their current run of 10 winless matches. With just one win in 15 matches, the confidence levels have really dipped at Brighton and further, they have failed to score in their last two matches. It hasn’t been any easier at home; Brighton have no win in five home matches and have conceded in each of these, though not by more than a goal.
Cristiano Ronaldo has not trained and remains in Madeira awaiting events to unfold with the current health emergency," Juventus said in a statement following the squad's training session on Wednesday.

Danny Ings: Away wins don't come much more satisfying than a 3-1 victory at Villa Park. However, I can't remember the last time I saw three goals gifted in such a manner by a Premier League side. Aston Villa were woeful. It might have be down to the absence of Tyrone Mings but whatever the reason they had better fix it quickly. As for Southampton, they looked to have recovered from their mauling by Leicester City earlier in the season - especially Danny Ings.
I think there's only two or three managers with a better Premier League win record. That's what I do, I win. I'm here to get West Ham wins and get them away from the bottom three. Of managers who have taken charge of more than 500 Premier League games, only two - Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger - have a better win record than Moyes. But he is fifth on the list of Premier League managers who have taken charge of more than 300 games, with Jose Mourinho and Rafael Benitez also having better records.
A hopelessly out-of-form Hull City side managed to earn a point from a six-goal thriller away against Birmingham. But they were leading 3-2 with two minutes to play, and boss Grant McCann waded in about his side's defending, describing some of it as "criminal". In the play-off race, there were important wins for Cardiff City and Derby County, who beat Preston North End and Reading respectively.

As La Liga president Javier Tebas - a man with his own agenda to press, who has nonetheless spoken out consistently against financial abuses in certain quarters - said on Friday night: “UEFA is finally taking decisive action. Enforcing the rules of Financial Fair Play and punishing financial doping is essential for the future of football.
Forest are six points behind the second and final automatic promotion place. They are in the play-off positions but it's a tight league and Cardiff in tenth are only six points behind them. Forest had a big home win over second placed Leeds earlier this month but have been unable to build on that victory.
Municipal Vinto will host Always Ready for this fixture of the league. I think, the visitors are favorites in this game. I think, the visitors want to get all three points. Always Ready are more ambitious team in this season. They are currently on the 2nd place with 18 points. In previous game Always Ready is won 4-2 against Oriente Petrolero. Also, we have Municipal Vinto who's is very average team in this season. Vento are currently on the the place with 13 points. Also, Vinto have less potential. In any case, the hosts have a very difficult task. They will have to invest a great effort in this game. My pick - Always Ready to win.
The presence of Messi has for a long time masked an ineffective transfer strategy and mishandled finances. Just yesterday Santos put in a claim for failed contractual obligations over the Neymar transfer, and Messi can leave in the summer for free. It appears they are doing all they can to force his hand, probably by accident.

At 1-0 you're always in the game. It certainly wasn't a corner but we've got to defend it better. It's a mountain to climb from there, but they certainly started climing the mountain and we got a great goal. I'm very proud of them, but that's the sort of performance we need to put in week in, week out.
Salisbury have been very strong at home losing only twice so far this season. And in 9 of the last 10 home games they have scored at least 2 goals. But in the last 9 home games they have also failed to keep a clean sheet.
Chelsea's recent problems have largely been rooted in their inability to keep clean sheets, and the Blues kept their opponents of the scoresheet just once in their last eight Premier League matches since early November.
Cruzeiro has so far not been in fantastic form in this league with a 4-2-2 record but at home they have an excellent record in the Mineiro 1 league without defeat since April 2015 winning 19 of the last 21 matches.
