The 33-year-old Spanish international defender made a calamitous backpass within the first two minutes, allowing Willian Jose to calmly round keeper Thibaut Courtois and pass the ball into the empty net to put the visitors ahead and stun the Bernabeu into silence.

Firmino underlines Liverpool resilienceWith Jurgen Klopp deciding to keep Mo Salah on the bench following an ankle problem, the timing of Firmino's scrappy winner was immaculate. Not only did it end his run of nine games without a goal, it also meant Klopp could change his intention to throw Salah onto the pitch to help his side find a winner.

Middlesbrough have a long-running streak of low scoring games at the Riverside. The hosts have seen under 2.5 goals in 28 of their last 35 home league games. On top of that, Derby’s last 10 visits here have seen eight games finish with fewer than three goals. Given that, we don’t expect a high scoring clash. The visitors have failed to score in six of their last seven trips, while Boro have five 1-0 home wins this term. We’re backing another 1-0 victory for Boro here.
Maran, who had been in charge for a little more than a season and a half, was sacked two days after a 4-3 home defeat against AS Roma and only four days after a glowing tribute to his work from club president Tommaso Giulini.

In Faroe Islands, Vikingur and IF are expected to face one another today for a premier League match which will be held at Sarpugerdi stadium, Nordragota city. In the table the two teams lie close to one another with Vikingur taking position 5 with 11 points after playing 7 matches while If taking position 6 with 10 points after playing 7 matches. The league started in the recent and therefore, they have not showed their competences in this League.
With the form demonstrated by the hosts in the build up to this match, there is little we can look at which suggests better times are around the corner. They have lost 60% of their home matches and have failed to win any of their previous six on home. Given that the visitors are in such good form and are so free scoring, backing an away win looks to be the only way to go in this clash.
Gent might have proven hard to beat on the road this season but the visitors have only kept clean sheets in 25% of their away games and have scored in 75% of their away matches while Saint-Etienne have only failed to score in 29% of their home games, which is why we have backed both teams to score on Thursday.

Diogo Joto: The Wolves forward is scoring goals for fun. I must admit I thought Wolves' Europa League commitments would find them out. On the contrary, they have developed them into a team who now must be taken seriously as Champions League contenders. I never thought I would be saying that but I certainly am now having seen them put Spurs away and dispatched Espanyol in midweek to the European scrapheap.
Paper Round’s view: Such a move would make for a packed second half to the golfing season but these are two huge events, and spectators, competitors and broadcasters would surely rather squeeze in the tournaments if possible rather than sacrifice them completely. These are strange times and compromises will have to be made as life returns to normal.
He added: "I am absolutely delighted that our approach has been vindicated throughout, following an intense period of legal scrutiny and review. It has been a very demanding process, but I had complete confidence in the actions and decisions of the SPFL board and the SPFL executive team. SPFL chairman Murdoch MacLennan confirmed that three members of the organisation's executive team were interviewed by the panel and thousands of pages of evidence were considered.
Backa Topola play away to Radnicki where a balanced match is expected. The first leg in Senta ended with 2: 0 in favor of the then host TSC Backa.

It's a pleasure to have him in my squad. There was also a word on former Chelsea skipper and team mate John Terry, who was back in front of his beloved fans in his capacity as assistant to Villa manager Dean Smith. He had his moment on the pitch. It is difficult when you come back, I did it last year, to a club that you feel so much for and visa-versa as they did with John," he said.
We’re also backing Fulham to win this clash 2-0 on Tuesday. Each of Derby’s last five matches have seen under 2.5 goals scored, while 2-0 is the only scoreline to occur more than once at Craven Cottage this term. Given Derby’s rate of goals for and against, a 2-0 home win seems like good value as far as we’re concerned.

They're the goals I like. The ones that make you stop for a moment and check yourself to avoid swearing.

Almeria have been unbeaten in seven games, but won only one game and managed to remain in third place despite their many draws (1-6-0) before the international break. The home record of the team is ok with 4-2-1 (last 2-2-0) and that's why Almeria is here for me.

With his side 2-0 up and closing in on three points, Alisson came rushing out of his penalty area to handle the ball as Brighton attacked. As a result, Alisson will now miss the Merseyside derby with Everton at Anfield on Wednesday.

Everton caretaker manager Duncan Ferguson made an instant impact on the pitch and a spectacular one off it as he started his reign with a vital victory over Chelsea at Goodison Park.

And Everton banished their recent struggles to run out fully deserved winners on a thunderous occasion illuminated by the former striker's wild celebrations.
