Traore terrific for Wolves Adama Traore (left) made nine crosses from open play in total during the matchThe Wolves supporters were singing Traore's name within the first 20 minutes of the match.

Watford continued their resurgence under new manager Nigel Pearson as they made it three wins from their last four games with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Winning the World Cup in 1966 undoubtedly remains the greatest moment in England's football history. But what has been the Three Lions' best performance since?Here are my top 10 greatest England matches since 1966 - remind yourself of the games and then you can rank them using the list at the bottom of the page. England 5-1 Scotland - Wembley (24 May 1975)Don Revie's finest 90 minutes in an ill-fated England reign as an excellent Scotland team boasting the likes of Kenny Dalglish and Danny McGrain was destroyed - mainly by first-half goals from Gerry Francis, Kevin Beattie and Colin Bell.
After his short spell at Blackburn Rovers ended in September 2018, Whittingham returned to live in south Wales - as it was with Cardiff where he felt most at home, on and off the field. Starting his career on the left wing before moving to the right and then into central midfield, Whittingham compensated for his lack of pace with a magical left foot. His pinpoint set-piece delivery and thunderous long-range shooting earned him a place in the Villa youth team which beat an Everton side featuring Wayne Rooney in the 2002 FA Youth Cup final.
The 80-year-old was one of the leading strikers in English football in the 1960s, having scored in excess of 400 goals in his club career, which saw him represent Chelsea, Tottenham, AC Milan and West Ham. He was also a seasoned England international, scoring 44 goals in 57 appearances, but was absent for his country's World Cup final win over West Germany in 1966 having picked up an injury earlier in the tournament.
Hosts are having a really good season solid at home especially from where they got most of their points, I mean they even defeated Barcelona 1-0 at home in this start of the season and do win games by more than one goal margin if given the opportunity. And interesting, they met one month ago must have been during the international break in a friendly game and Bilbao easily won that game 4-1.
Kepa was dropped by Lampard on Saturday's 2-2 draw with Leicester City and the Blues' boss is "demanding" a new shot-stopper this summer. Kepa's deputy Willy Caballero is likely to remain Chelsea's number one until the end of the season. The London club have been linked with transfers for Burnley's Nick Pope and Crystal Palace's Vicente Guaita.
I can tell you that last season when Jeonbuk won the title with ease and Seoul was also in the fight for the title till late on when they had a poor run in the ending of last season but still got themselves a Champions League spot for this new season, Jeonbuk won here first with 4-2 a game in which the score at half-time was already 2-2 but Jeonbuk overall has better players and a more attacking orientated style of play which secured them all 3 points.
Bromsgrove and Kings Langley will face each other in the upcoming match in the Southern League Central Division. Bromsgrove this season have the following results: 7W, 5D and 5L. Meanwhile Kings Langley have 5W, 3D and 8L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
In 2013, a plan emerged for Russian clubs to break away and resurrect the old Soviet competition with a multinational structure but Blatter's FIFA firmly rejected the plan. In comments which will raise eyebrows at UEFA and the Premier League, Infantino, who has already introduced a new 24-team Club World Cup to start in 2021, said FIFA had a duty to look at how less financially successful clubs and nations could compete.
Fati was catapulted into the first team in August due to a spate of injuries and entered the history books by scoring in a 2-2 draw with Osasuna aged 16 and 304 days, overtaking Bojan Krkic as Barca's youngest scorer in a La Liga match. Fati, who turned 17 on October 31, has made a total of 11 appearances for the first team this season, starting four times and scoring twice.
But their form has been excellent, losing only one of their past 14 games and thrashing Hull 8-0 in their most recent home fixture. That sequence has seen them earn a chance to survive and their positive goal difference could be the difference between staying up or going down on Wednesday. We could win the game and still it might not be enough and that's the real disappointment because these players don't deserve that," manager Paul Cook said after Saturday's draw with Charlton.
It’s a tough reality for a lot of fans but it’s the one they find themselves in, another window has gone by and yet again United have failed to make the signing they need more than anything. An experienced and respected Director of Football is needed to take the power away from Woodward and focus on properly rebuilding the club.
Dries Mertens has been directly involved in 50% of Napoli's goals in the Champions League since 2016/17, scoring 15 and assisting a further six (21 out of 42). BarcelonaBarcelona's last away win against Italian opposition in the Champions League knockout stages came in April 2006, when they beat AC Milan 1-0. Gennaro Gattuso was in the Milan team. Barcelona have progressed past the Champions League round of 16 in each of the last 12 seasons, the longest run in the history of the tournament.
Lorente's second was more his own work, rifling a fine strike into the bottom corner, before Morata raced clear with Liverpool chasing the game late on to spark jubilant scenes on the Atleti bench, Simeone, of course at the forefront of everything. TALKING POINT Missed chances cost Liverpool dear. Knockout football can be the harshest of environments.
They beat fellow New Caledonian side Magenta in the final. For some context on the quality of that tournament, the runaway top scorer Ross Allen - who scored 11 times for Team Wellington - now plays for Guernsey FC in the eighth tier of English football. New Caledonia is a French overseas territory in the Pacific - who voted no to independence in a referendum last year - but have been a full member of Fifa since 2004.
The hosts are just a relegation candidate in their own 3rd league level division as at this moment they have no less than 4 defeats in a row in home games alone and they are not much better in away games as well as they have a record of just 2-2-13 in the league this season and are clear bottom of the league with only 8 points won from 17 games played by them in the league alone.
Having conceded six goals in their previous two Premier League outings, the Blades had recently lost some of the confident, attacking swagger they had displayed earlier in the season, but that all came flooding back at the moment they opened the scoring. The goal came from a flowing move that opened up the Tottenham defence before Berge turned in Chris Basham's cutback. From then on, Sheffield United looked much more like their old self - strong in defence and capable in attack - and the win, particularly given the strength of the opponents it came against, will provide a much needed boost as they look to claim a top-six finish - something that would be an incredible accomplishment on their first season back in the top flight.
The final game of the Championship’s Boxing Day action comes at the Madjeski, where QPR are chasing a victory at Reading. However, the Rs have seen one of the league’s most promising away records slip, with the visitors coming into this one with five wins and five defeats from their 11 away matches this season. How will this clash tip those scales?
After five matches, Diego Simeone's men, who've made a habit of reaching the final of this competition in recent years, would've expected to be qualified for the knockouts by this point, but they unfortunately come into match-day six without a guaranteed passage.
Former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba will join other former players in a charity football match to raise money for the Australian bushfire appeal. Former Manchester United forward Dwight Yorke and ex-Liverpool striker Emile Heskey are among others set to play.

Last season's Champions League semi-finalists Ajax crashed out of this season's Europa League as Getafe wrapped up a 3-2 aggregate win in Amsterdam. Getafe stretched their aggregate lead through Jaime Mata in the fifth minute and although the hosts came back to lead on the night thanks to goals from Danilo and Carel Eiting, the Spaniards held on to record a famous victory.
The UK government has defended its decision to allow such events to go ahead before restrictions on mass gatherings were enforced 10 days later. But Steve Rotheram told BBC Sport an independent inquiry was needed into a potential connection with a surge of cases in Liverpool since. If people have contracted coronavirus as a direct result of a sporting event that we believe shouldn't have taken place, well that is scandalous," he said.
The ex-Barcelona, Arsenal and Netherlands full back replaces Dragan Stojkovic, who left the club by mutual consent on Friday. Van Bronckhorst stood down from his role as head coach of Feyenoord at the end of the season in the Netherlands having guided the club to the Eredivisie title in 2017. The 44-year-old will be expected to return Guangzhou to the upper reaches of the Chinese Super League after two disappointing seasons under Stojkovic.
It took longer than I expected. Potter said: "It was a great moment for everyone in the stadium, especially Ali. He deserves it. He worked away every day, with exemplary behaviour. We all wanted him to contribute and he did that today. Brighton dominated possession like they usually do and created the better chances, with Maupay driving two shots over the bar before half-time. Burn thought he had scored his first goal for the club when he swivelled and fired home a shot on the bounce.
Saint-Maxim sent the away support into raptures after meeting Javier Manquillo's whipped cross with a towering header for his first Newcastle goal. And once the Magpies had broken through the Blades usually resolute defence, they set out to frustrate the hosts and succeeded. Sheffield United had their chances and the lion's share of possession, but it was Shelvey who doubled his side's lead with a quite extraordinary goal typical of a season wrestling with VAR's new rules.
MANCHESTER, England, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Manchester United made a surprise late addition to their squad on deadline day by bringing in 30-year-old Nigerian striker Odion Ighalo on loan from Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua.

Royal Excel Mouscron will host Genk for this fixture of the league. I believe, Genk are more ambitious team in this league. The visitors probably are small favorites in this game. However, they are not convincing team. Genk are more vulnerable team in recent times and for me they could lose. In any case, Genk have fallen in their shape. They have two consecutive losses. Also, we have Mouscron who's is also very average team in this season. True, Mouscron is really better team at home. I think, the hosts have a real chance to get the positive result. My pick - Mouscron to win.

The English situation is different from a lot of the rest of the world and I would be astonished if it remained as it was next season," he said, acknowledging that it was difficult for a league to change operation mid-season. You should expect there will be some changes next year. The vast majority of competitions believe that the vast majority of subjective decisions should have an onfield review," he said.
Inter Milan went back to the top of Serie A, despite conceding a late equaliser to Fiorentina.

And teenager Dusan Vlahovic levelled in stoppage time, running from his own half and firing home.

In the game against Porto away, Rangers played some of their best football then they dealt with them at home, so they will be confident. Dick Advocaat is organised, demands a lot from his players, so Feyenoord will know exactly what to do. It will be a tough one for Rangers, but they are well capable. Morelos could break record - match statsFeyenoord won their only previous home game against Rangers, 3-2 in the 2001-02 Uefa Cup en route to winning the trophy.
McNeil rounded off the win with a superb solo goal in the 87th to send the Clarets up to eighth. Sixth-placed Sheffield United have begun to dream of a possible Champions League place but were frustrated as they were held to a 1-1 draw at home by lowly Brighton & Hove Albion. A poacher's goal from Brighton striker Neal Maupay cancelled out a peach of a strike from Enda Stevens.
For Standard Liege, this is a must win game to give them any chance of advancing. Standard Liege have not lost in their last five matches, winning three. However, they are not so good defensively; in their last 15 matches, they have just three clean sheets, but they have scored two or more goals in six of their last 10 matches.

Good luck to everybody who will follow the pick.
Real Sociedad and Athletic Bilbao played in midweek their matches for the Cup of Spain and they both eliminate Real Madrid and Barcelona. Was a great result for them. Now they play for the Spanish league where Real Sociedad is in 8th place with 34 points,3 points less than Valencia that means Europa League and 5 points behind Atl Madrid that means Champions League group stage. In 9th place is Ath Bilbao with 31 points and they seems that the only hope to play in Europe next season is to win the Cup but I expect a draw here today. Both teams are tired from Cup games and I don't expect a good game. Draw for me here.
