Hibs hold off Killie fight back to win Killie have positives despite defeatKilmarnock's defeat by Hibs will hurt, with the Ayrshire men creating enough chances to at least earn a draw. Chris Burke littered the penalty box with crosses, while they won a series of second-half corners from which they could not take advantage. It leaves their chances of reaching the top six difficult, with four points now separating them and Hibs, but all eyes now turn to Wednesday's Scottish Cup tie with Aberdeen.
Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham went into it knowing that only a win would maintain their challenge for the top-flight crown. But their 2-2 draw - from a truly thrilling game that included brilliant goals, tasty tackles, touchline melees and nine yellow cards for Spurs - handed the trophy to Leicester City. The Foxes, one of Keown's former clubs, had been 5,000-1 to win the league before a ball was kicked.

Rose is at Newcastle on loanGetty Images "I'd love to be the player I was three years ago when I was doing well. I thought I'd return to become that player after the injury, but I had a rude awakening," Rose said. If I do well they (Newcastle) may think that's what's expected of me. But if I don't they might think Tottenham were right to let me go.
While Le Mans have struggled to pick up regular wins in Ligue 2 of late, PSG come into this match in fine form, both in terms of winning and scoring. That said, PSG didn't exactly go wild when beating a second division side at this stage of the competition last season. They travelled to take on Orleans and won by just two goals to one. They also needed extra-time to get better of a lower-level side in the Coupe de France last term.
Rijeka is the more attacking minded side while Lokomotiva is more cautious in defense and looking to simply win games with 1-0 especially such tough games, they are also still in the cup competition as they defeated Slaven Belupo with 3-1 on the road while in the league they lost first at home 1-0 to Osijek and won their second game also at home against Dinamo Zagreb who are clear league leaders but the distance between 4th placed Lokomotiva and 2nd placed Rijeka is of just 2 points.
Juventus Managua will against Deportivo Ocotal in match Nicaragua Premier Division. My prediction this match could be the win for Juventus Managua with margin score is 2 goals. Juventus Managua have better result on last 3 match in league due to Juventus Managua have won in 1 match, 1 match is lose and 1 match is draw.

See alsoMathcast: Tottenham Hotspur v Olympiacos After Jose Mourinho saw his side look superb in the first half against West Ham, they started awfully and were lucky as half time approached to be just two down through a fantastic 25-yard strike from Youseff El Arabi and a close-range strike from Ruben Semedo following terrible defending from a corner.
Fiorentina is very low in the league standings by their usual high standards as they are only 15 in the league standings with only 17 points won so far this season and really just 3 points above the 3 relegation places at this moment. Their attack is decent with 21 goals scored in 17 games but their defense is really not up to the standards with 28 goals conceded so far, still 49 goals in 17 games played makes an average of 2.9 goals per game played, and they have an important missing for this game in veteran Franck Ribery.

Paper Round’s view: Darts is in some ways ideally suited to quarantine play, because there is just one player for himself, needing no additional support throughout the action. There is no desperate reason for the players to have to be in the same place. However, the atmosphere, without the army of chanting fans, could leave the whole thing feeling sterile.
Dortmund defender Mats Hummels said: "It was really bizarre, but for both teams. The start of the game was really strange, like a friendly. Fireworks were set off outside Parc des Princes The Champions League anthem was played to empty standsThe opening goal from Neymar was greeted by a huge cheer outside the stadium and Juan Bernat added a second just before the break to give the French champions a 2-0 lead on the night and a 3-2 advantage on aggregate against their German opponents.
Alex Sandro's header rescued Juventus, who are stumbling towards the title. They have failed to win in their past three games, conceding nine goals - as many as they let in in their other 13 league matches in 2020. Wojciech Szczesny made seven saves against eighth-placed Sassuolo - the most any Juve keeper has had to make in a Serie A game since March 2014. Cristiano Ronaldo failed to score in a Serie A game for the first time since March, having netted seven goals in six league games since the restart.

We need everyone to respect them," he said. In the hygiene concept, the guideline is to celebrate within social distancing rules. One can imagine at the height of a goal being scored that maybe, sometimes, the players get closer. The clubs are working actively with the players. They speak to them every day to remind them of what needs to be done to ensure we earn the right to a second match-day and a third and to finish the season.
Tomorrow we have another game and we're going to have to prove ourselves once again. Real are top of La Liga with 46 points from 21 games, three ahead of Barcelona, while Atletico are fifth on 36 points. SIMEONE BACKING Real's resurgence is in stark contrast to Atletico's fall from grace and Zidane gave his backing to his opposite number Diego Simeone, who has transformed the club's fortunes but finds himself in the most difficult stage of his eight-year tenure.
For most 17-year-old footballers, signing for a big club in a new country could prove a daunting prospect. But for Jude Bellingham, the England youth midfielder who has joined Borussia Dortmund from Birmingham City, there is evidence the Stourbridge teenager will embrace the challenges thrown up by his move to Germany. Dortmund turned Jadon Sancho into a senior England international after his arrival from Manchester City in 2017, while winger Ademola Lookman secured a permanent move to RB Leipzig from Everton after scoring five times on loan at the Bundesliga club in 2018 as a 20-year-old.
Placed in a lethal group with Chelsea and the Spanish side, the Amsterdam outfit had been in pole position to qualify, needing only a draw in their final game. However, Rodrigo gave the visitors the lead halfway through the first half, and despite the hosts dominating possession and having the lion's share of chances.
Tottenham have quality in their ranks but are extremely prone to defensive lapses of late that lead us to believe they will concede again in the FA Cup this week. The initial confidence injected by Mourinho's appointment cannot be found on the pitch. We expect both teams to score in a game that is up for grabs.
I see huge limitations when I look at Tottenham's midfield at the moment. And, while I have been massively impressed by the impact Jose Mourinho has made in his first few weeks as Spurs boss, it is an area of the team he will have to address in order to continue their upturn in form. While Tottenham still ended up nicking all three points against Wolves on Sunday, they went long periods without having proper possession, or the ability to control the game that comes with it.
This result, unexpected as it may be, continued Southampton’s promising recent form. They have now won four times in the past month, pushing them up to 14th in the table and leaving them five points clear of the relegation zone.

GOAL! Man Utd 2-0 Watford (Martial) A little bit of genius from Anthony Martial makes it 2-0! He was put through on goal by Fernandes and had his first shot blocked by the outrushing Foster.

Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti has backed Dominic Calvert-Lewin, while 18-year-old Manchester United star Mason Greenwood has been described as a "natural finisher.

We feel that this Friday's fixture is likely to see plenty of goals scored. Dortmund have been no strangers to high scoring games of late.

Flores will feel his team should have been out of sight by that stage, but there appeared little danger of Watford surrendering their narrow lead as the visitors continued to hold firm. That all changed in the final quarter of an hour, however, as Southampton's late pressure finally told.

Whereupon he was hustled out of there by a steward. The quietly protesting Renaud appealed to the steward's sense of fair play, his spirit of football. The response was not exactly the stuff of the United Nations. There's no spirit of football! Get out! You're a disgrace!" In that moment, Renaud learned a valuable lesson. Every second football person in this magnificent country is completely off their rocker.
Denver Broncos have won three of their last four matches. Oakland Raiders have only won one of their last four away games.
