I remember the long corridor from the dressing rooms - it would cost £3 in an Uber," recalls Ferguson. Then you walked past the wee chapel and went up the stairs to the pitch like you were going into the Colosseum. I remember making out I was chewing gum so I looked relaxed, but I had nothing in my mouth. Malpas remembers a "strange atmosphere" in the half-empty stadium as the locals whistled their team and being told by McLean not to panic if they conceded - which they did just before the break.
Relive Arsenal's win over BrightonArsenal, who also won 4-0 when the sides met in September, controlled the game from start to finish, helped by Van de Donk's early strike after racing on to Leah Williamson's long diagonal pass.

After the emergency meeting, at last the right decision was made — until then it almost felt like footballers in England were being treated like guinea pigs. I know how I feel. If any of my family get infected through me because I’ve had to play when it’s not safe, and they get seriously ill, I’d have to think hard about ever playing again.
Yet Everton, displaying impressive new-found enterprise under Carlo Ancelotti, struck back with two goals in three minutes just before the break, with their unlikely saviour being the Colombian defender Mina. Having struck in the first minute of added time when he bundled the ball home after a goalmouth scramble, he then headed in the equaliser on the stroke of half time.
I'm so grateful that the manager has brought me in and I'm looking to repay him in every way I can as soon as I'm playing. Rose had said in November that he was prepared to run down the final 18 months of his contract at Tottenham and leave for free after not being handed a new deal. Earlier this month, Spurs manager Jose Mourinho played down reports of a training ground row with Rose after the full back was left out of the goalless draw against Watford.
So while Valencia have drawn more than they have won at Mestalla this season, they are well priced here at around the 11/8 mark to bag the three points. It's also important to remember these sides met four times last season, including their Europa League Quarter-Final clash; it was Los Che who came out best on three occasions, including both fixtures at Mestalla.
Andrey Rublev has won two tournaments this year. Alexander Zverev lost all three of his matches in the ATP Cup. Andrey Rublev has won his last 15 singles matches.

An error by veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon saw Juventus held by Sassuolo at Allianz Stadium. Leonardo Bonucci opened the scoring after 20 minutes with a deflected strike before Jeremie Boga's deft chip levelled the scores shortly after.

Cristiano Ronaldo was on hand to equalise and save his team's blushes with a penalty with 22 minutes left.

The Italian top flight introduced the system in 2017-18 but it has received criticism from Serie A managers who feel technology should take a second look at controversial decisions made by on-field referees. Napoli and Parma fumed over VAR last weekend for wrong calls made by the referee after they were not awarded penalties and the FIGC believes managers should be allowed to challenge decisions, much like tennis players do with close line calls.

I was never treated any differently, they used to bounce me off the cage walls and that toughened me up – I wouldn't have had it any other way. I'd like to think I'm a bit better than all of them now and I know they are very proud of me but I have a lot of thank them for. The Toffees welcome Chelsea this weekend in the WSL after winning three on the spin, with victories over Brighton and Tottenham sandwiching a historic triumph against Liverpool at Anfield.
Maddison's existing deal was due to expire in 2023. The 23-year-old was badly missed over the final games of the season after having minor hip surgery.

However, there is uncertainty over the Foxes future of Ben Chilwell, who, like Maddison, missed the end of the season, with a heel injury.

It was my plan to first fly to Senegal to thank the people of my country and recognise them for everything they have given me on my journey, but unfortunately we were unable to make the visit.
Backing Inter to extend their 100% away record is the way to go, while 'Correct Score' punters can try a 2-1 away win.

Their top-four hopes have since vanished but Nuno's sixth-placed side head into the final league game with a chance of securing the club's highest top-flight finish since 1980 - and can still qualify for the Champions League by winning the Europa League. We haven't had this much excitement for years," added former England striker Bull, Wolves' record scorer with 306 goals in 561 appearances between 1986 and 1999.
But the coach's reputation was severely damaged by twin shock eliminations from the Champions League to AS Roma and Liverpool. The team's performances have declined this season and even though the Catalans are top of the table on goal difference, the board lost faith in Valverde after last week's defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup.
Klopp was questioned when he sold Philippe Coutinho, who many regarded as his most important player, to Barcelona for £142m in January 2018 but he used the huge fee to build a more rounded team by buying Van Dijk and Alisson. Pochettino was sacked by Tottenham in November after a miserable start to the season in the league and cupsKlopp has manoeuvred Liverpool into a position of strength - where they can add to their squad with opportune acquisitions such as Takumi Minamino - whereas Mourinho and Spurs now face a rebuilding job.
