Liverpool 2-0 Chelsea: Mohamed Salah scores stunner as Reds return to top of the table

Mohamed Salah scored a wonderstrike as Liverpool returned to the top of the Premier League with a crucial victory against Chelsea on Sunday.


After a closely fought first-half, Sadio Mane headed the hosts in front shortly after half-time following a superb chipped cross from Jordan Henderson.


Just two minutes later, Salah picked up the ball from 25-yards and unleashed a thunderbolt into the top corner, leaving Blues stopper Kepa Arrizabalaga with no chance.

Salah’s goal was worthy of winning a title let alone a game, but for now Liverpool will settle for the latter.


A two-point lead over City, winners at Crystal Palace, was restored and proved Jurgen Klopp’s previous assertion that no-one is getting rid of his side in this most enthralling of races.


This was, on paper, the toughest task remaining for the Reds, with games against Cardiff, Huddersfield, Newcastle and Wolves to follow.


The fixture had drawn comparisons with the last time Liverpool were in a title race in 2014, only to be derailed by Chelsea and Jose Mourinho in a match best remembered for Steven Gerrard’s fateful slip, but this was not even a pale imitation of that.





Mane opened the scoring for the hosts

Maurizio Sarri’s side came knowing they had to get something to strengthen their own claims for a top-four spot and, as a result, Chelsea were by no means as defensive as five years ago, looking to hit their hosts on the counter using the talent of Hazard as a false nine.


Too often, though, the Belgium international was left to do it all on his own and he got little change out of Virgil Van Dijk until the hour mark when his side were 2-0 down.


Realistically, however, he should have put his side level as first he beat Alisson Becker in a one-on-one only for his shot to rebound off a post and then fired a first-time shot straight at the goalkeeper from close range seconds later.





Hazard missed two glorious chances for Chelsea

Hazard missed two glorious chances for Chelsea



It was as manic a couple of minutes as those which saw Liverpool take a lead and quickly double it just after half-time.


Salah nicked the ball off Emerson deep in his own penalty area and Jordan Henderson seized on the mistake to clip a cross to the far post where the unmarked Mane headed home his 18th Premier League goal of the season.


It was not a great passage of play for the Chelsea left-back as he then stood off Salah enough to encourage the Egyptian to cut in on his left foot and rifle an unstoppable shot into the far top corner.















It was Salah’s first goal in six appearances at home and could not have been better timed. Or more perfectly struck.


Anfield was bouncing at that stage and Roberto Firmino then drilled a low shot just wide as the hosts threatened to run riot.


But just as quickly it changed when Maurizio Sarri brought on Gonzalo Higuain and restored Hazard to his usual position wide on the left.





Klopp’s side have returned to the top of the table

The Belgian had two chances to score as the game became far more open as, for the first time this season, Klopp’s side looked in danger of bottling it.


Considering how much was at stake the nerves reverberating around Anfield were understandable, although that anxiety at times transferred itself on to the pitch.


For a brief second there was an horrific flashback to Gerrard in 2014 when Andy Robertson slipped on the halfway line, but the ball fell to Higuain, who has considerably less pace than Demba Ba showed five years ago, and Liverpool had plenty of players to cover.

Manchester City 6-0 Watford: Ian Holloway ‘horrified’ by Hornets’ suit and trainers combo at FA Cup final

Ian Holloway says he was ‘horrified’ by Watford’s suit and trainers combo at Wembley on Saturday.


The Hornets lost 6-0 to Manchester City in the FA Cup final as Pep Guardiola’s side clinched a first-ever domestic treble in the men’s game.


On their way to the dressing room before kick-off, Watford stars donned a black jacket, black trousers, white shirt and white trainers.

And former Crystal Palace and QPR manager Holloway was not impressed.


He told talkSPORT: “I think the classical look at a Wembley final is quite important. I was horrified.


“I’ve seen clubs come out with tracksuits on. I don’t think that’s formal enough. It didn’t look smart. Dark suit, lovely white shirt… and then you’ve got trainers on. It doesn’t look right.

“It looks like someone’s marking the road on the way to Wembley and they’ve accidentally gone over their shoes.”


Holloway also took aim at the Watford players’ short trousers and socks, which left their ankles on show.


He added: “This sock thing, those tiny little ones, I couldn’t wear them. My Chihuahua would wreck them, he’d chew on them! I was shocked and it looked appalling from where I was.











“I’m still a traditionalist. I don’t want to see those trousers again. Someone’s having a laugh saying that’s fashion.


“Why are they so high up above your ankles? It’s so uncomfortable.


“I can’t understand how anyone can [wear them], there’s nothing worse than someone’s ankles – hairy ankles should not be on show!”

One player each Premier League club should loan out next season, including Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah and Chelsea’s Ethan Ampadu

It could be a breakthrough season for certain players in the 2019/20 campaign.


Youngsters will want to gain first-team experience at other clubs, while older players could make temporary moves elsewhere to play regular football.




Eddie Nketiah is yet to taste regular first-team football

Eddie Nketiah is yet to taste regular first-team football


Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek was loaned to Crystal Palace last season in a move that worked wonders for him as he earned a place in Gareth Southgate’s 2018 World Cup squad.


And in the 2018/19 season, Liverpool attacker Harry Wilson starred for Derby and is likely to start in their Championship play-off final against Aston Villa on Monday.


Other players could follow the examples set by Loftus-Cheek and Wilson next term.


Here, talkSPORT take a look at players who could benefit from a loan move.











Arsenal – Eddie Nketiah

Eddie Nketiah scored his first Premier League goal on the final day of the 2018/19 season


Nketiah burst on to the scene after scoring twice in a Carabao Cup win over Norwich last season. But after making just nine appearances, and only starting three times, the 19-year-old needs to play regular first-team football.


He is unlikely to begrudge Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette from the starting XI, so a loan move could do him the world of good.


Aston Villa – Andre Green

Andre Green’s playing time was restricted in Aston Villa’s promotion-winning season


Green started just nine Championship games as Aston Villa ended their three-year exile from the Premier League by beating Derby in the play-off final.


The 20-year-old is yet to play first-team football on a regular basis in a whole season, but the 2019/20 campaign could be his year if he is loaned out.


Bournemouth – Mark Travers

Travers started Bournemouth’s final two Premier League games of the season after Eddie Howe lost faith with error-prone goalkeepers Asmir Begovic and Artur Boruc.


With the Cherries reportedly set to make a £15million bid for Burnley’s Nick Pope, Travers could be loaned out to gain experience in England’s lower tiers.


Brighton – Christian Walton

Walton helped Wigan preserve their Championship status in their 2018/19 campaign, playing in 34 league games.


Mat Ryan has established himself as Brighton’s No.1 goalkeeper, and Walton will not want to return to the Amex Stadium to sit on the bench. A third loan move to the Latics seems sensible.


Burnley – Ben Gibson




Ben Gibson has struggled in his debut season at Burnley

Ben Gibson has struggled in his debut season at Burnley


Gibson was one of the most sought-after defenders in the Championship last summer.


Burnley won the race for his signature by paying Middlesbrough a whopping £15million. That amount seems like a huge waste of money as the 26-year-old made just ONE Premier League appearance all season.


His last outing for the club came in a 5-0 defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup in January.


Chelsea – Ethan Ampadu




Ethan Ampadu needs to play more regularly

21



Ethan Ampadu needs to play more regularly


Who Chelsea loan out will depend on the club’s impending transfer ban and Ampadu is a player who could benefit from a temporary move from Stamford Bridge.


The Wales international is highly-rated by Blues chiefs, but started just three games in the 2018/19 season.  At 18-years-old he is already a Wales international with a big future ahead of him.


Crystal Palace – Connor Wickham




Connor Wickham has struggled for first-team minutes this season

Connor Wickham has struggled for first-team minutes this season


Wickham has been plagued by injury since moving to Palace in 2015 and after making his return from a serious knee injury against Everton last October, he went on to make just seven more appearances.


The 26-year-old signed a new two-year deal with the Eagles on Tuesday, but that might not rule him out of making a loan exit this summer.


Everton – Ademola Lookman




Ademola Lookman has not started enough games under Marco Silva

Ademola Lookman has not started enough games under Marco Silva


Lookman has been restricted to a substitute’s role under Marco Silva, starting just three Premier League games.


He thrived in a loan spell with RB Leipzig, scoring five goals and registering five assists last season. And other clubs could back the 21-year-old to replicate that form with them.


Leicester – Matty James




Matty James has been very unlucky with injuries

Matty James has been very unlucky with injuries


James has been tormented by an ankle injury for over a year. His only appearance during the 2018/19 season came in a shock 2-1 defeat to Newport County in the FA Cup in January.


He has returned to fitness in recent weeks, but is yet to feature under Brendan Rodgers. A fresh start elsewhere could reignite his career.


Liverpool – Rhian Brewster

Rhian Brewster is yet to make a senior appearance for Liverpool


Brewster was an unused substitute for Liverpool’s 4-0 Champions League semi-final second leg win over Barcelona after injuries had ruled out Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino.


The 19-year-old, who has battled through ankle and knee problems over the past year, is highly-rated by Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.


Reports claim the German sanctioned a Dominic Solanke’s £19million move to Bournemouth due to his belief in Brewster but he could be shipped out on loan before making his senior Reds debut.


Manchester City – Phil Foden




There is an abundance of quality in Manchester City’s midfield

21

With Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola reportedly set to be given a £200million war chest to strengthen his domestic treble-winning squad, Foden could find himself even further down the pecking order.


Even though he started games against Tottenham and Leicester in the title run-in, the 18-year-old failed to make the matchday squad for City’s FA Cup final win over Watford on Saturday.


He has bags of potential, which another club could hugely use.


Manchester United – Angel Gomes




Angel Gomes wants more first-team opportunities

21



Angel Gomes wants more first-team opportunities


Gomes made just two brief cameo appearances in United’s underwhelming season. He is said to be frustrated by his lack of game-time and could look elsewhere for temporary solutions.


The 18-year-old is one of United’s star academy players. With a host of attacking players ahead of him, it doesn’t look like Gomes’ playing time is going to improve next season at Old Trafford.


Newcastle – Joselu




Joselu is not a regular starter at Newcastle

Joselu is not a regular starter at Newcastle


Joselu started just five Premier League games in the 2018/19 season due to the form of Salomon Rondon.


Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez, whose own future is also uncertain, could get the striker’s wages off the books to free up funds for another forward.


A move back to Spain or Germany could suit Joselu.


Norwich – James Husband




James Husband has not played for Norwich in 13 months

James Husband has not played for Norwich in 13 months


Husband spent the 2018/19 season on loan with Fleetwood in League One and is unlikely to take part in the club’s Premier League journey. With a year left on his current, he could be loaned out again.


Sheffield United – Leon Clarke




Leon Clarke will be a wanted man in the Championship

Leon Clarke will be a wanted man in the Championship


With Sheffield United reportedly trying to sign Swansea striker Oli McBurnie, Clarke’s days appear to be numbered at Bramall Lane.


He was loaned out to Wigan for the second half of the 2018/19 campaign and helped them avoid relegation. Second tier clubs could find his experience invaluable next season.


Southampton – Fraser Forster




Fraser Forster made his first appearance of the season for Southampton in a 3-0 defeat at West Ham earlier this month

Fraser Forster made his first appearance of the season for Southampton in a 3-0 defeat at West Ham earlier this month


Forster has made just one Southampton appearance since December 2017. He is the club’s third-choice goalkeeper behind Alex McCarthy and Angus Gunn.


The 31-year-old’s contract does not run out for another three years, but he needs to get back to playing regularly.


Tottenham – Vincent Janssen




Vincent Janssen is unlikely to be at Tottenham next season

Vincent Janssen is unlikely to be at Tottenham next season


With Fernando Llorente likely to leave this summer, Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is bound to be in the market for a striker to provide cover for Harry Kane.


Janssen was frozen out by Pochettino before making three substitute appearances towards the end of the season. Despite his brief comeback, the Dutch striker will need to look elsewhere if he wants to play regular football.


Watford – Nathaniel Chalobah




Nathaniel Chalobah needs a run of games

Nathaniel Chalobah needs a run of games


Chalobah fractured his knee cap at the start of the 2017/18 season and made a return to action against Reading last August. However, he has been restricted to just 13 appearances since, failing to dislodge Etienne Capoue and Abdoulaye Doucoure in midfield.


A newly-promoted Premier League club could take a punt on him.


West Ham – Grady Diangana

West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini showed faith in Diangana during the 2018/19 campaign, handing him six Premier League starts in a breakthrough season. But he could face more difficulty competing against Mark Noble, Declan Rice, a fit-again Jack Wilshere and any other new potential arrivals in midfield.


He would not be short of suitors from Championship clubs.


Wolves – Morgan Gibbs-White




Morgan Gibbs-White can operate as a midfielder or further up the pitch

With Euro 2020 happening next summer, Gibbs-White will want to play regularly to attempt to break into Gareth Southgate’s England squad.

Malaysia 0-1 Singapore: Faris late goal settles derby in footballs AirMarine Cup

Malaysia 0-1 Singapore: Faris late goal settles derby in footballs AirMarine Cup

AIRMARINE CUP


Malaysia 0
Singapore 1
The easy part was to promise entertaining, attacking football but Nazri Nasir walked the walk when he guided the Lions to a 1-0 win over Malaysia in the AirMarine Cup last night, in his debut as the caretaker national coach.
Even with an inferior 48 per cent of possession, Singapore made better use of the ball to craft seven chances, hitting the target half a dozen times as compared to one shot on target in eight attempts for the hosts.
And when the winner came in the 83rd minute, it was a lethal blend of precision and chemistry as Khairul Amri took out four yellow shirts with a through pass for Faris Ramli to calmly slot past goalkeeper Khairul Fahmi Che Mat.
The team could not be reached at press time.
The match was played before a sparse crowd at the 90,000 capacity Bukit Jalil Stadium as many Malaysian fans reportedly boycotted the match owing to the RM35 (S$11.60) admission price.
Still, to win away in the Tigers' den was a creditable result considering that the hosts had reached the final of the recent Asean Football Federation Suzuki Cup while the Lions crashed out in the group stage.
Nazri kept his pre-match promise and fielded an attacking 4-3-3 system with big changes in all departments.
First-choice defender Shakir Hamzah had to miss the derby owing to family issues and in his place, Amirul Adli, was recalled after a four-year absence and given his first start, alongside Safuwan Baharudin in central defence.
Playmaker Shahdan Sulaiman was preferred ahead of midfield pivot Izzdin Shafiq, while the unpredictable Iqbal Hussain started in place of tricky winger Gabriel Quak in the right forward role.
It was Singapore who had the better chances, as Khairul Fahmi had to pull off a save in the 12th minute after Yasir Hanapi intercepted the ball from defender Shahrul Saad.
A minute later, Yasir hammered a volley off Shahdan's corner but was denied by the goalkeeper again and the Melaka United custodian was in action a minute later, this time denying Khairul Amri's close-range attempt.
Malaysia had a period of dominance on the hour mark as they upped their tempo with Australia-born right-back Matthew Davies and winger Mohamadou Sumareh, originally from Gambia, stretching the Lions.
And it was captain Zaquan Adha who wasted the best opportunity in the 65th minute, when he connected with midfielder Akram Mahinan's cutback only for goalkeeper Izwan Mahbud to save with his legs.
At the final whistle, an emotional Nazri knelt down on the turf in prayer. Not only had Singapore won the Causeway derby, the Lions had done it playing positively, passing the ball accurately instead of aimless punts forward.
In the earlier game yesterday, Oman - under new Dutch coach Erwin Koeman - thrashed Afghanistan 5-0 at the same venue. Singapore will now face the Omanis at Bukit Jalil on Saturday night in the final, while Malaysia will play Afghanistan for third place in the late afternoon.

The former Rangers midfielder was serving a one-game touchline ban after making gestures to Celtic supporters who branded him a ‘sad orange b*****d’.


Defending his close pal, Lennon said: â€Å“I am disappointed to say the least.


â€Å“I am disappointed for Derek, because I know what a great guy he is, he is a great football man with great integrity. I am sorry he wasn’t in the dugout today.


“I am a huge admirer of what he has done this year, and what he has done previously.”

McInnes hit out at Celtic fans̢۪ sectarian chants and asked if the SFA were listening.


He said: â€Å“Of course I heard it because I have been hearing it for years.


“It is not if I hear it, that is not the question, the question should be are other people hearing it?


“The biggest surprise would have been if I had not heard it today, as you all know, so it is what it is.


“There has been a missed opportunity to send out the right message. I served my punishment today and I will be back in the dugout next week.”


In February, Kilmarnock boss Steve Clarke accused Rangers fans of living in the dark ages after he was called a ‘Fenian b*****d’.


â€Å“It’s lovely being back in the west of Scotland, really nice,” he said.















â€Å“When I was approached by Rangers about taking over the job here I was assured that ‘we don’t have that in the west of Scotland anymore. It’s gone’.


â€Å“They can call me a b*****d or a w****r. No problem, thanks, guys. But to call me a Fenian b*****d, come on. Where are we living in? The dark ages?


â€Å“They are not allowed to call my assistant [Alex Dyer] a black b but they can call me a Fenian b*****d. What are we doing in Scotland?”
