Diego Godin and Kevin Gameiro scored within two minutes of each other as Atletico Madrid bounced back from their derby disappointment with a 3-0 La Liga victory at Osasuna. Diego Simone’s men were defeated 3-0 by rivals Real Madrid at home last weekend, seven days after losing against Real Sociedad, but they got back on track domestically with a comfortable win on the road. An early penalty save from Jan Oblak prevented them from falling behind, and Godin — on a header following a corner — and Gameiro found the net in the 36th and 37th minute. Yannick Carrasco then…
Manchester United assistant manager Rui Faria says he and manager Jose Mourinho knew it was “not an easy job” taking over at the club — and added that, if it was, their predecessors would have succeeded. Faria was speaking at a news conference after the 1-1 draw against West Ham United at Old Trafford on Sunday, when Mourinho was sent to the stands for kicking a water bottle in frustration during the first half after midfielder Paul Pogba had been booked for diving. United have now settled for four straight home draws in the league since the start of October…
Manchester United have made their worst start to a season in the Premier League era after Sunday’s 1-1 draw with West Ham left them with 20 points from their opening 13 games. The draw — a fourth in succession at Old Trafford — leaves Jose Mourinho’s men sixth in the table, 11 points behind leaders Chelsea. United have not taken so few points after 13 games since the 1989-90 campaign, when Alex Ferguson’s side finished 13th in the old First Division, five points clear of the relegation zone, although they did win the FA Cup. They had also been on…
Given a choice between victory over West Ham in the Premier League or three days later against the same opponents in the EFL Cup quarterfinals, Manchester United fans might prefer the latter. Their chances of finishing in the top four don’t look great but another trophy to add to last season’s FA Cup would be welcomed. The 1-1 draw on Sunday afternoon was the latest game at Old Trafford that United utterly dominated but failed to win. West Ham took an early lead after Dimitri Payet threw himself down to win a free kick that he then delivered for Diafra…
Barcelona boss Luis Enrique lamented what he described as the worst display of his time in charge as the Catalan giants escaped with a 1-1 draw at Real Sociedad on Sunday. Barca have now failed to win in their last eight visits to San Sebastian, but for once the slip-up felt like a victory as Sociedad dominated from start to finish. “The draw is positive because we take a point from a match in which it was practically impossible to take a point,” Enrique told BeIN Sports Spain “Real Sociedad were infinitely better than us with and without the ball.…
Jose Mourinho faces disciplinary action from the FA, and an almost definite touchline suspension, after being sent to the stands by referee Jon Moss during a 1-1 Premier League home draw with West Ham. It is the third time in less than two months that the fiery Manchester United manager will face disciplinary action from the sport’s ruling body. In late October, he was suspended for one game, and fined £8,000, for an altercation with referee Mark Clattenburg during a draw with Burnley. That incident followed a 50 000-pound punishment for comments made about the decision to allow referee Anthony…
Arsene Wenger admitted Arsenal had to conquer their nerves before securing the 3-1 win that thrust them back in the Premier League title race. Wenger’s side had fallen six points behind leaders Chelsea after drawing three of their last four league games and they were in danger of another damaging setback at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Having led through Alexis Sanchez’s early goal, the Gunners were pegged back by Callum Wilson’s controversial penalty midway through the first half. With the Arsenal faithful getting restless, Wenger revealed he had tried to calm his players down at halftime as they wrestled…
Manager Mauricio Pochettino has accepted the recent criticism of his Tottenham Hotspur side following their early exit from the Champions League but said he saw “nothing wrong” in his team struggling to cope with their demanding schedule. Tottenham were dumped out of Europe’s elite club competition after Wednesday’s group stage loss to French side Monaco and their woes were compounded on Saturday as their 12-game Premier League unbeaten run came to an end with a 2-1 defeat at Chelsea. “If you want to criticise that (we were knocked out of the Champions League) then okay, I accept that. It is…
Manager Pep Guardiola is pleased with how well his Manchester City side have coped with their demanding schedule this season as they have managed to stay close to the Premier League summit despite their European commitments. City have not only progressed to the knockout stages of the Champions League but are also well-placed to launch an assault of the league title, sitting third in the table on 30 points, one behind leaders Chelsea after 13 games. “To be honest (the title race) is Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Tottenham (Hotspur) and Manchester United. The league this year is unpredictable and it’s going…
Chelsea forward Eden Hazard expects Manchester City and Liverpool to be the London side’s main rivals in the Premier League title race after the top three sides all enjoyed victories on the weekend.

They are both good. If we want to be there at the end, then we have to finish above them,” Hazard told British media…
