Quique Sanchez Flores shook his head in disbelief, dismayed at how Watford allowed Southampton to wriggle free. Southampton scored two goals in four second-half minutes to complete an unlikely turnaround and condemn Watford to a third league defeat in four matches and heighten pressure on Flores. Just as Southampton seemed resigned to plunging to the bottom of the Premier League at Watford’s expense Danny Ings struck a lifeline before James Ward-Prowse bent a peach of a free-kick into the top corner. For long Southampton had struggled to get to grips with this occasion. Watford’s £30m record signing, Ismaila Sarr, finished with aplomb to give the visitors a deserved lead. But back came the hosts, who survived six minutes of second-half stoppage time, during which Andre Gray volleyed narrowly wide, to earn a first home win in the league since April.

• Mateusz Klich scores a goal in each half for Leeds • Jonathan Woodgate: ‘Leeds are best in Championship’ Jonathan Woodgate has no doubts that Leeds are the best team in the Championship. The former Leeds defender saw his Middlesbrough side outclassed at Elland Road. Two goals from Mateusz Klich and one each from Patrick Bamford and Hélder Costa sealed a fifth straight win for Leeds, who returned to the top of the league – albeit until West Brom visit Preston on Monday.

Bees hammer Luton and Bristol City hit five Last-minute Cup heartache for Altrincham at Portsmouth On a free-scoring day on which the top club Leeds set the tone with their 4-0 shellacking of Middlesbrough, Brentford and Bristol City also treated their fans to home goal feasts. Thomas Frank’s Bees hit seven without reply against Luton , with the 21-year-old midfielder Josh Dasilva scoring a hat-trick. Brentford were in the mood to make amends for their midweek loss at Blackburn, racing into a 5-0 lead at half-time with goals from Bryan Mbeumo, Ollie Watkins, Mathias Jensen and Dasilva’s first two strikes. Said Benrahma made it 6-0 with a penalty in the 71st minute before Dasilva was handed the chance to complete his hat-trick, also from the spot.

Was this the day Liverpool seized control of the title race? No, that was when Manchester City were comfortably beaten here last time out. All that could be said for sure after Brighton were beaten at a surprisingly fraught Anfield is that this was the day the reigning Premier League champions disappeared from Jürgen Klopp’s rear-view mirror. Liverpool went from comfortable to tense against Graham Potter’s committed visitors after Alisson was sent off for handling outside his area and Lewis Dunk converted the resulting free-kick. The 10 men held on to a lead given by Virgil van Dijk’s two headers, however, to finish with a remarkable 11-point lead at the Premier League summit before the end of November.

West Ham found their stride at Stamford Bridge just as Chelsea seemed to run out of gas. Aaron Cresswell’s excellent goal just after half time was the difference in this game. But this was a fine, disciplined performance throughout from a West Ham team who never looked stretched and ended up 1-0 victors – their first win on this ground since 2002, when Frank Lampard and Jody Morris were both in the Chelsea team. Manuel Pellegrini had come into this game under pressure after no wins in eight games. But his team came to play, were robust in the challenge, tightly stitched in defence, and with Declan Rice and Mark Noble fiercely disciplined in the centre.

Dele Alli continued to enjoy his personal new-manager bounce as he scored twice to give José Mourinho a third win in 10 days since taking over at Tottenham Hotspur.

The unbroken blue sky signified a perfect, superbly crisp, winter’s day but, for Pep Guardiola, it must have seemed anything but ideal. As a jubilant, critic-confounding Jonjo Shelvey celebrated his late Newcastle United equaliser in front of the Manchester City manager’s technical area, Guardiola was left to reflect on two more points dropped in a title race which already seems Liverpool’s to lose. It was the first time he had faced Steve Bruce in managerial combat but, if his Newcastle counterpart could not quite reprise the victory against City that Rafael Benítez managed here, the home side’s attacking pace emphasised that the Champions are mortal after all.

• Defender scores scrappy winner at Alavés • Real move ahead of Barcelona at the top Real Madrid earned a spirited 2-1 win at Alavés with a scrappy late goal from the defender Dani Carvajal. Real’s captain, Sergio Ramos, put the visitors in front by heading home a Toni Kroos free-kick after 52 minutes but gave away a penalty from which Lucas Pérez levelled in the 65th. Real demonstrated their new-found grit to retake the lead four minutes later. Isco pounced to head a Luka Modric cross against the post and the ball trickled across to Carvajal, who bundled it in from close range.

As so often when big clubs go bad, the manager carries the can for errors in recruitment and in the boardroom A nd so the grumbling of the Emirates has claimed another victim . By the end, Unai Emery cut a hapless figure , mumbling incoherently after defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt as the world collapsed around him. He was a scapegoat, as managers always are, barely less a patsy in his role as Arsène Wenger’s successor than he had been as Neymar’s minder at Paris Saint-Germain. He certainly should not be immune from criticism, but equally nobody should think his replacement will bring about improvement merely by not being Emery. Emery joined as a Europa League manager for a Europa League club; he will leave as somebody who has struggled in three jobs outside Spain, compromised, despite his best efforts to speak English, by an inability to communicate.

Flawed City defence meets hapless Newcastle attack, Leicester can end Silva’s service and only a miracle can save Emery Steve Bruce said Newcastle were too passive during Monday’s sorry defeat at Aston Villa . One thing he can actively do about that is drop Jonjo Shelvey, who was irrelevant in midfield at Villa Park. With Sean Longstaff available again after suspension, and Matty Longstaff in line for a return to the starting lineup, Shelvey should be parked on the bench. Bruce probably wishes he could also make changes up front to try to exploit City’s defensive flakiness. There is not often a good case for starting Andy Carroll but this time there are two: City’s fragility and Joelinton’s haplessness. At least Allan Saint-Maximin shows signs of menace, even if his finishing so far has been down there with that of the bewildering Miguel Almirón. Mind you, Gabriel Jesus has not been looking sharp recently for City. So even though injury deprives both clubs of their best centre-backs (

Take to the field expecting the red swarm, the hammers of the Premier League, a process of extreme thrash‑metal disintegration. And what do you get? Not quite that, it turns out. Napoli have done this four times now in two years. In the first half they had the Premier League leaders pinned, rhythms stilled by the swarm of light-blue shirts around their usual passing triangles. It took Liverpool 35 minutes to muster their first effort on target. Ten minutes later the players walked off at the interval looking a little baffled, the crowd silenced, air sucked out of this tight corrugated arena.

The tradition had long since ceased to be meaningful – the word “shamateurism” had already been in use for nearly 80 years – but that decision marked the official conclusion of the era of gentlemen and players, one that already snaked back more than 150 years and had helped to define some of the game’s greatest players and most memorable characters. Alfred Mynn is not the most obscure of cricket’s amateurs, but he is surely among the greatest and most memorable. The tributes published after his death, almost exactly 101 years before that meeting of the ACCC, make that perfectly clear. “Not only [was he] one of the best cricketers that ever played for Kent but one of the

Perpetrators even within the game have been tolerated, indulged and celebrated so, yes, it is a problem Jofra Archer has been an international cricketer for just over six months and has been racially abused twice. Those are just the two incidents we know about. As many people of colour will tell you, for every comment that comes to light, there will have been dozens more that go unheeded: ignored or shrugged off so as not to cause an unseemly fuss, internalised and rationalised as simply the price of doing business as a non-white athlete in 2019.

La Liga’s president wants Spain’s top division to become the most popular in the world and says the scheduling of games between Barcelona and Real Madrid is key to that “We broke the traditions of football in Spain,” Javier Tebas says in a manner so matter-of-fact that it is genuinely startling. But then the president of La Liga has long been unafraid to speak his mind and, as such, it is not overly surprising he is so forthright during a discussion centred on his desire to see his country’s leading division become the most popular in the world. The ambition is clear and if that means radical change than so be it. That has perhaps been seen most clearly in La Liga with the scheduling of games. Under Tebas, who took charge of Spain’s top flight in April 2013, every fixture is now staggered to ensure they can be screened live on television, at home and abroad. At one stage this had the effect of stretching each set of La Liga fixtures across four days, from Friday to Monday, with some g

It's not often a goalkeeper gets on the scoresheet from their own area, but Antonio Rodríguez of Mexican club Chivas can add his name to the list. Late into their home game against Veracruz in Mexico's Liga MX on Sunday, the score was 2-1 to the hosts. With the away team pressing for an equaliser late on, they sent their goalkeeper forward for a corner, only for Rodríguez to collect the ball and punt it the length of the field. The game finished 3-1 to Chivas Continue reading... from Football | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/football/video/2019/nov/26/chivas-goalkeeper-scores-from-own-penalty-area-in-mexican-football-match-video

Today’s fluff is considering its options José Mourinho sounds like he might be getting on the blower to old mucker Jorge Mendes, to see if he would be kind enough to orchestrate deals for Benfica defender Rúben Dias and Sporting midfielder Bruno Fernandes . The Tottenham boss is looking to bolster his squad after arriving mid-season following Mauricio Pochettino’s departure but might not have too much money to play with. Mourinho has also been poo-pooing the claim he will bring in Zlatan Ibrahimovic , saying it would make “no sense”. After watching 45 minutes of Phil Jones on Sunday evening, Manchester United are once again looking for a new centre-back. The latest name to be thrown into the ring is Mohammed Salisu of Real Valladolid , whose agent – it says here – is Juan Mata’s dad. He could cost just £10m.
