Their trademark attacking flair was their undoing at times in the second half with Gameiro grabbing an equaliser with a powerhul header. And the Spanish side had a glimmer of hope when Fernan Torres took an advantage of poor goalkeeping from Marco Sportiello, playing instead of the injured Pierluigi Gollini, to loft the ball over him to make it 3-2.
After all, this was campaign in which the manager died in the dressing room before qualification was clinched. His replacement was the greatest the game has ever seen. Three future national team bosses were on bibs and cones duty. The player-managers of two of Britain's biggest clubs were named in the squad. As, belatedly, was a striker from European Cup finalists Barcelona. And the Scottish FA president almost sparked a diplomatic incident by labelling opponents "scum".

GOAL! Manchester United 1-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers (Mata) That Wolves attack breaks down and Maguire is allowed time to pick and sling a long ball down the left channel for Martial, who ducks inside, ahead of Coady, waits .

Tottenham have drifted to a place where sneaking past a second-tier side over 180 minutes is acceptable, where coming close to nabbing a point off the Premier League leaders is a cause for optimism. Has everyone forgotten what happened seven months ago? Mourinho isn’t responsible for Eric Dier’s self-destruction, Harry Kane’s latest spring sabbatical or Paulo Gazzaniga’s incapacity to save anything outside a four-inch radius.
Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe said his side went into half-time of Sunday's remarkable 4-1 win over Leicester with their survival hopes "as bleak as they could be". The Cherries were six points from safety in the as-it-stands table with just nine points remaining after a toothless 45 minutes which saw Jamie Vardy's goal give Leicester the lead and star defender Nathan Ake come off injured. But an incredible two-minute spell saw Howe's side take the lead and Leicester go down to 10 men, with striker Dominic Solanke finally scoring his first league goal for the club.
I met Max very early after I got the job and to have seen his journey back to full fitness and the way he's conducted himself, it's something he'll always have with him," Solskjaer said.

I believe in at least three goals in this match from Dutch Cup and I will surely try that option, when it is pretty real. Go Ahead Eagles is team who is currently in second league and they are team who is in this moment in good form. They are not lost in last four matches in a row, and in last one, at home they are won 4-0. Utrecht, on the other side is better team and team from elite league and team who is beat this rival in last three official matches against them. Over 3 is ok.
After three wonderful years in Manchester, I have taken the difficult decision to leave at the end of this season and accept an offer from Wolfsburg for a new challenge in my career.

Reims are also a team in need of a win as they have drawn their last three games. They all came against beatable opponents but Reims' lack of goals came back to bite them each time.

Ederson palms away, but the ball falls for Mousset, who might turn and shoot, or better still might tee-up Fleck, but instead tries to forces a backheel home, and Ederson saves easily. GOAL!

OK, I've complained about this a lot in the last ten years. We've all seen it happen too often - a player gets what's clearly a serious head injury, and then plays on. Nobody in the ground seems to bat an eyelid at it, while the rest of us look on via a television screen, open-mouthed in horror as we see a footballer stagger around, not thinking or walking straight, and having no memory of the entire match afterwards.
The club need to replace Freddie Ljungberg, who is struggling as the interim replacement of sacked manager Unai Emery.

Yeah, because there's no benefit in thinking too far ahead as that's when your focus goes. The manager always says the next game is the most important one of your life and that's why we go into the next game thinking anything can happen. The quality of every side we come up against means if we are just at 95% then we'll be beaten, which is why we have to be at 100%. Sum up what the past 18 months have been like.
