Oliver Bozanic drove Hearts ahead from a defensive mix-up, and they could have increased their lead in a strong showing that also saw Steven Naismith go close late on. Hearts, who had a goal disallowed in the first half for an extraordinary Loic Damour handball, will find out their opponents in Sunday's semi-final draw, and they could be paired with Edinburgh rivals Hibernian after they beat Inverness Caledonian Thistle on Friday.
Liverpool started strongly when Firmino fluffed a chance to beat the ‘keeper after 40 seconds, and Naby Keita clipped a shot just over the bar after good work from Henderson. There was one last early chance, this time for Trent Alexander-Arnold, but he fizzed his shot wide. In the second half, there was miserable news for Liverpool when Alex Oxlader-Chamberlain rolled his ankle and had to be stretchered off and he could miss a significant period of the second half of the season.
It is in their interest to make sure that Brighton can survive for now in order to make sure that they are able to be paid over the longer term. Read the full story Cavani linked with move to Spain Paris Saint-Germain striker Edinson Cavani has been linked with a move to Spain.

It is about who is going to go out and who is going to come in to the Premier League. It is about the clubs down below, those who want to get into the Football League. Who goes up and down will affect their finances and livelihoods. To turn around and say it is all gone, they cannot forget all the money those teams have outlayed trying to get promoted from various divisions.
Shorn of the clinical finishing of Harry Kane, and hamstrung by the reductive playing style and game-plan employed by Mourinho, Tottenham look low on creativity and confidence, as evidenced by their return of just three goals in five top-flight outings.

Prepare yourself for a weird few weeks, sports-wise. Is that it for Aston Villa? Sometimes there are games when you can just feel a team is going down, and there were strong vibes along those lines during Aston Villa’s 4-0 shoeing by Leicester City on Monday night. Whether it was the ponderous midfield, the one-man attack or the sight of Pepe Reina – the very expensive quite literal safe pair of hands they bought in January to make sure they were nice and secure at the back – ending up 40 yards from his own goal as Harvey Barnes ran in Leicester’s first…well, it wasn’t great.
Making his first media appearance since being sacked by the Catalans in January and replaced by Quique Setien, Valverde expressed his admiration for former player Andres Iniesta's decision to move to Japanese side Vissel Kobe when he left Barca in 2018. I applauded Andres when he told me he going to Japan.
Ibrahimovic has spent the last two seasons at AEG-owned LA Galaxy, and with that contract set to run out at the end of the year, he has been linked to a variety of clubs in Europe. However, he has ruled out a return to Sweden. I've said for ten years that I'm not going to play football in the Allsvenskan.

Troy Parrott had scored four goals in one game in an Everton shirt, was wanted by both Manchester United and Manchester City and was set to visit Chelsea, only to decide at the age of 15 his future was with Tottenham Hotspur. Now the 18-year-old has been thrust into the spotlight as a potential solution to Spurs' striker crisis as a result of injuries to Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Steven Bergwijn.
Blunt Watford have pockets pickedQuique Sanchez Flores returned to Watford in September with a brief to arrest the malaise that had set in under his predecessor Javi Gracia. Since the 8-0 drubbing at Manchester City, they appeared to have tightened up at the back with just five goals conceded in their last six games.
The Magpies could have taken all three points in the final five minutes, but Carroll was unable to end his run of 32 Premier League games without a goal as he nodded wide after meeting Shelvey's corner at the back post. Uncertainty looms over Newcastle, with speculation still surrounding a potential takeover, but Bruce will be keen for clarity as he tries to build a team capable of bringing European football back to St James' Park.
Zaha was shackled superbly by the combination of Bardsley and Josh Brownhill, Andros Townsend did little and Jordan Ayew headed the best chance that came his way over the bar. The Palace forward also planted an arm into the face of Brownhill, prompting a VAR review for a possible red card, but the video officials sided in his favour. European qualification is not completely beyond Hodgson's side this season, but this was a big test of their suitability and one they failed.
Uefa would, of course, argue this case is very different to one involving Turkish football more than a decade ago. However, will it be prepared to take the risk of a defeat that would have major ramifications?This case has been hugely damaging for City. But there is real danger here for Uefa too, especially at a time when the grip of European football's governing body on the club game is under mounting strain.
However, Cardiff did get their own bit of fortune when the referee waved away furious home penalty appeals despite Curtis Nelson clearly handling Joe Bryan's cross. Fulham's anger at the failure to award a second penalty soon subsided when former Tottenham midfielder Onomah capped a lovely move with a fine touch and firm finish into the bottom corner of the net. Cyrus Christie headed over from close range as the hosts threatened to run away with things in a contest they might have won by a greater margin, with subs Neeskens Kebano and Ivan Cavaleiro both spurning injury-time chances.
Hal Robson-Kanu - WALES v Belgium, 2016 Media playback is not supported on this device Best Euros goals: Hal Robson-Kanu - Wales v Belgium 2016 This was the moment that Wales reached dreamland, as Hal Robson-Kanu - a player who had been operating in English football's second tier - set them on course for the semi-final. Expertly taking down Aaron Ramsey's cross, Robson-Kanu channelled his inner Johan Cruyff with a turn that bamboozled two Belgium defenders before sweeping an effort past an equally bewildered Thibaut Courtois.
I see a difference in terms of quality between these two sides, while it is true Wolfsburg finished just 2nd their own group stage in the Europa League and Malmo won their own group, Malmo was really lucky to be in a group with Copenhagen, Dynamo Kyiv and Lugano from Switzerland, modest clubs and nowhere near the quality of Wolfsburg who have been restarting the season in Germany for more than a month right now and with excellent results lately in the league as well winning games on the road as well.
Such a change would add considerably to the actual overall playing time which, he said, might necessitate playing two halves of 30 minutes instead of the current 45 plus stoppage time, which is usually no more than a few minutes. It would be a cultural shift putting soccer more in line with sports such as basketball and American football.
How important is this signing for Dortmund? It is very important. Dortmund missed out on signing a real striker last summer, something they were criticised for a lot. Paco Alcacer misses a lot of games because of injuries and is our only striker. Haaland is exactly the kind of player - a big, cold-blooded box player - Dortmund needed to keep their season goals, winning the title, alive.
Mainz have also taken some positive results from their recent home fixtures. They have taken all three points from two of their last three Bundesliga home games. We feel that Mainz are likely to be confident about their chances going into Saturday's clash with out-of-form Freiburg.

Sam Rickett's men are also very good at avoiding defeat on the road, which bodes well ahead of this match. The Shrews have lost just one of their last eight travelling matches, conceding just three goals and keeping five clean sheets in the process. You won't see them dazzling, but you'll always see a defiant, organised side that is extremely tough to push over.
For my players and staff, winning the league is something to be proud of and I will tell them that when I speak to them. Of course we would have preferred to play the remaining games, but player welfare was always our priority and finishing the season was ultimately not possible. We have to respect the decision of the FA, clubs and people involved in the game who have decided this was the best and fairest outcome.

Theo Walcott also wrote his own series of four children's books starting with T. J. Hat-trick, while David Beckham released his own appropriately titled tome The Mystery of the Golden Ball.

While many of the instances have been anecdotal, I have seen it for myself this weekend. Please stop it. I urge everyone involved in the game to do what we can to safeguard public health as best we can. The message from the First Minister (Nicola Sturgeon), which was reiterated today, could not be clearer when she said 'the advice that is being given to people is not to be seen as optional'.
Extension Gunners will host Notwane for this fixture of the league. Hosts probably are favorites in this game. Extension Gunners have advantage at home stadium. Also, the hosts have better team than their opponent in this campaign. However, the hosts have big fluctuations. In last game Extension Gunners is won 3-0 against weak Molepolole.

That will take it past the official end of the EFL league season and towards the last round of Premier League fixtures, which was supposed to be on 17 May. That would be getting very close to the point where the game has to restart if it is to meet the loose 30 June deadline which European football's governing body is working towards as the end of the 2019-20 campaign.
