It was a really tough match but the draw keeps things in our hands for the last game against Lille.
It wasn't all World Cup déjà vu though as instead of seeing an Ellen White equaliser, the Lionesses found themselves fighting a 2-0 deficit just a matter of minutes later.

It would be better to skip next season in Scottish League One and Two than play behind closed doors, says Peterhead boss Jim McInally.

It was unfortunate for Ings to suffer a major injury while playing for Liverpool. However, what a stroke of luck for the Saints that his former club couldn't give him the game time, hence his departure from Anfield and his arrival at St Mary's. Did you know?

They begin the weekend in fifth place and need points as they host Manchester City who are second. Both of these clubs could win a hatful of trophies between them this season. United are still battling to win the FA Cup and Europa League, while City already have the EFL Cup and are chasing the FA Cup and Champions League.

Certainly it is way stronger than it ever was at the outset when the trust took over ownership. They have been very circumspect about how money should be spent, getting value for that money and taking care because there is no back up. The truth is, everyone is going to suffer, including us. It is very difficult but perhaps we have been better placed to help ourselves as best we can. I know there are a number of clubs that have struggled to pay wages prior to this event rather than during it.
There should be under 3 goals in this match Chelsea have not had a good time at home when playing Manchester United so they will look to try and win this match to nil. Chelsea would put more focus on defense and will look to score the goal to win the match later on in the match. Man United have caused them a lot of problems so this could be the plan for the team going in this match. Man U have been dangerous so they will hold them and will look to defend this match all the way to finish

Freiburg did good job in Leipzig, with the draw and one point, but they drop against low table Bremen at their ground, and lost 1:0. They are going to Frankfurt, in order to use weak moment of the host, and try to get first three points in this part of the competition.
It's not time to hit the panic button by any means and the hosts are now 7 points clear of danger but the fact they've now lost 3 of their last 4 matches does have to be a concern. To have any chance of taking something from a clash with River, Newell's will have to be at their best but having also failed to score in all of said 3 defeats, it remains to be seen if the hosts will be able to give the visitors much to think about.
He emerged at Northampton before a move to Premier League Newcastle, where his four substitute appearances matched the number of spells he spent out on loan. Costing just over £500,000 in the summer of 2018, he already has 35 Posh goals to his name, leading the chairman to insist a League One record fee - eclipsing the £11m paid by Everton for Ademola Lookman in 2017 - would be needed to prise him away.
A hopelessly out-of-form Hull City side managed to earn a point from a six-goal thriller away against Birmingham.

In the play-off race, there were important wins for Cardiff City and Derby County, who beat Preston North End and Reading respectively.
Scored goals wherever he went and managed in Italy too - albeit only for six games. Jadon SanchoOverseas clubs played for: Borussia DortmundMajor honours won overseas: NoneWhy him? It's early days but Jadon Sancho is also a bit of a pioneer. One of the first young English players to look at a move abroad instead of sitting in Manchester City's academy, the Bundesliga gamble has certainly paid off. Still only 19, Sancho has become a regular for England and with 22 goals in 61 league games for Dortmund he is one of the hottest properties in world football at the moment.
Five goals in two games. Erling cannot be stopped," said a beaming Dortmund coach Lucien Favre. He constantly wants to train, to play. He is extremely committed. It is fantastic for a coach to have a player like that. BAYERN RUN Champions Bayern Munich equalled the best start to a year (VfB Stuttgart 1991) with two wins and a 9-0 goal record following their 5-0 demolition of Schalke 04.
After Silva's sacking, more focus and pressure will inevitably be on director of football Marcel Brands, who arrived shortly before Silva. Brands, in charge of overall football strategy, is the most significant sporting figure at the club. Moshiri, of course, must have the final sign-off, but having got major decisions wrong he must now place his trust in the urbane, understated Dutchman. Is Silva solely to blame? Highly rated teenager Moise Kean joined for £27m from Italian champions Juventus in the summerSilva has been unlucky in a key area this season, with Andre Gomes cut down by serious injury against Tottenham and Fabian Delph - bought as a leader - often missing too.
The outcome, never truly in doubt, was assured in the 68th minute when a blocked shot from David Silva fell to Rodri on the edge of the box and the Spanish midfielder blasted a thundering, unstoppable drive past goalkeeper Nick Pope to make it 3-0. City substitute Riyad Mahrez made it four, three minutes from the end, with a low shot from the edge of the box but Guardiola will be disappointed that his team allowed Robbie Brady a late consolation goal for the home side.
LAFC have reached the play-offs in both of their two seasons in the league. Atlanta have done even better, reaching the play-offs in three consecutive years and winning the MLS Cup in 2018, their second season in the competition. Kicking the first ball this weekend is going to be success for me," said Beckham, as his side prepare for the start of their MLS Eastern Conference campaign.

Both teams are struggling in the league with consecutive losses in their schedule. With a slight advantage over the visitors in the ground advantage, the host will be closer to the bragging rights of the match. Sampdoria can't boast of its home ground advantage in the game, but its h2h history on this site with the visitor has given it excellent results since 2004. Bologna is in junk form right now with two straight 0-2 losses and Sampdoria in poor form as well. I expect to see a slow and defensive match as Quagliarella has left Sampdoria I thin... and Bologna in tough form. Both wont risk much in this game.

isloch are really not good on the road. The team suffered 4 consecutive defeats of which the last 2 defeats have had an exact score 1-0. Minsk are not better with 2 defeats, 2 victories and 1 draw during their last 5 games at home. So it is a very interesting Minsk Derby. Theoretically, Isloch is higher in the standings and has a better record in direct matches, but lately this team is not in shape, the form is poor. FC Minsk The host here and the form of this team seems to be a good in home ground. FC Minsk play much better in their stadium so they should take advantage of this situation and earn at least a point.
