Ronaldo appeared to kick out at Molinero during the second half of the 1-1 La Liga draw at the Estadio Benito Villamarin — just a week after being accused of deliberately kicking Sporting Gijon midfielder Nacho Cases in Madrid’s 5-1 win. Molinero said after the game that he was not impressed by the behaviour of the Portugal captain and felt he should have been punished by the referee for his actions. “It was an ugly gesture by…

Chris Smalling believes only the Manchester United players can inspire a revival at Old Trafford. United’s 1-0 defeat to Southampton on Saturday means they have only won three of their last 13 matches. And they are now five points behind fourth-place Tottenham, meaning their task of securing qualification for next season’s Champions League is growing ever harder. United were booed off at Old Trafford after mustering a solitary shot on target and Smalling accepted a team who have only scored 17 goals in 19 games are not playing the brand of football supporters expect. “The fans want to see goals…
Petr Cech called on Arsenal to move on from the disappointment of another defeat to Chelsea to steer their Premier League title challenge back on course. The Gunners had Per Mertesacker sent off after 18 minutes and Diego Costa scored the decisive goal in Sunday’s 1-0 win for Chelsea, which leaves Arsene Wenger’s men three points behind league leaders Leicester with 15 games to go. The immediate focus is on the FA Cup, which Arsenal have won in the last two seasons — the Gunners play Burnley in the fourth round at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. But the next…
Guus Hiddink says Diego Costa “likes to fight — in a good way” and warned any defenders facing the Chelsea striker that trouble awaits. Costa scored the decisive goal in Chelsea’s 1-0 win at Arsenal on Sunday, not long after being tripped by Per Mertesacker, who was sent off after 18 minutes. The striker now has six goals in six games under Hiddink, who hopes he will shake off a knee problem which forced his early withdrawal at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger again bemoaned the influence of Costa, who antagonised the Gunners last September when Gabriel saw…
Sceptics are actually helping Leicester City to maintain their remarkable Premier League run, midfielder Danny Drinkwater has said. Saturday’s 3-0 victory over Stoke City helped the surprise leaders open up a three-point gap with second-placed Manchester City, who are above Arsenal on goal difference, after 23 games. Prior to the win, Leicester’s credentials were questioned after just one win in their previous five league matches. “If anyone doubts us still, it is up to them – as long as we keep proving them wrong,” Drinkwater told British media. “I think it does help when people write us off. There has…
Bookmaker Williams Hill has cut its odds to 2/5 that Manchester United’s Louis Van Gaal will be the next Premier League manager to leave his post after Saturday’s 1-0 home defeat by Southampton. “For the first time, even Louis Van Gaal has admitted that he has failed and if he is not pushed, he could well walk,” William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said on Monday. “The fans have – or they had – great expectations of me, and I cannot fulfill them, so I am very frustrated because of that,” Van Gaal said after his team’s sixth league loss of…
Manchester United may officially be keeping quiet about the future of Louis van Gaal but the manager accepts his position is being increasingly called into question by the club’s fans. The mood turned sour at Old Trafford during the course of Southampton’s 1-0 win over United on Saturday. Some fans didn’t even wait until the final whistle to jeer Van Gaal, venting their frustration as soon as Charlie Austin headed in the Saints’ 87th-minute winner. Jeers rang out around the ground and the Dutchman received further taunts as he headed down the tunnel at fulltime. United’s executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward…
Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said he was ready to give injury-plagued striker Daniel Sturridge all the time he needs to recover from a hamstring injury sustained against Newcastle United last month. Sturridge has played just 108 minutes of football since Klopp took over from Brendan Rodgers in October and has missed the Merseyside club’s last 11 matches in all competitions since the 2-0 defeat by the Magpies on December 6. “I had 15 months with Ilkay Gundogan (at Borussia Dortmund) where we had to all wait but it was his back and we had no chance to force it. It’s…
Brazilian Roberto Firmino has proved he is a real striker who can score goals regularly for Liverpool, according to manager Jurgen Klopp. A double in the dramatic 5-4 victory at Norwich City on Saturday followed two goals in the 3-3 draw with Arsenal 10 days earlier, the 21 million-pound ($30 million) Firmino having been chosen ahead of even more expensive striker Christian Benteke in both games. When he failed to score in between times against Manchester United, questions were asked about whether he could play up front on his own, but Klopp says the Norwich match answered the question. “Three…
Everton manager Roberto Martinez conceded he is worried with his team’s poor home form after the Toffees slumped to their fifth loss at Goodison Park this campaign in Sunday’s 2-1 Premier League defeat by Swansea City. Gareth Barry’s deflected effort was cancelled out by Gylfi Sigurdsson’s opener from the penalty spot, but the relegation-threatened Swans clinched the three points thanks to a 34th minute strike from winger Andre Ayew. The Merseyside club have managed three wins from their 12 league games at home and only bottom side Aston Villa, who have one win in 11 at Vila Park, have a…

Zidane had cruised to victory in his first two games in charge since replacing Rafael Benitez earlier this month, scoring five goals against Deportivo la Coruna and Sporting Gijon. However, Los Blancos were stunned by Alvaro Cejudo’s early opener and, despite dominating the majority of the match, could only reply through Karim Benzema’s 21st goal of the season 19 minutes from time. “I am very proud of…
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said Diego Costa had got Per Mertesacker sent off after his side’s Premier League title hopes were dented by Sunday’s 1-0 home defeat by Chelsea. Mertesacker was shown a straight red card for a last-man foul on Diego Costa in the 18th minute and Costa scored the game’s only goal five minutes later, dispatching a cross from Branislav Ivanovic at the near post. Costa had been the catalyst behind Gabriel’s dismissal in September’s reverse fixture, goading the Brazilian defender into kicking out at him as Chelsea won 2-0, but while Mertesacker’s foul on him seemed clear-cut,…
Arsenal missed their chance to go back to the top of the Premier League after being forced to play with 10 men for much of the game against London rivals Chelsea on Sunday.
