We were very confident, we were a good side and we always thought we would win," recalled Lee. It was raining very hard and there were puddles on the pitch but we knocked it about well and we created several chances. The guy who was marking me was called Jerzy Gorgon, and he was as big as Desperate Dan, but I still did pretty well against him. We were 2-0 up by half-time but it could have been three or four by then.

The 23-year-old also scored four goals in the Europa League group stage this season which included a brace against Spanish side Sevilla. We're all happy that we're able to sign Danel, he's a young player full of potential," Norwich boss Daniel Farke said in a staement. He's pretty interesting because he can play more or less all offensive positions.
We’re also backing a 3-1 victory for the Baggies, who should put Boro to the sword after seeing them capitulate to Swansea and Leeds of late. With 67% of their home wins coming by at least two goals, we think West Brom will secure a 3-1 victory in this clash.
Liverpool hold a 16-point advantage at the top of the Premier League with a game in hand - but the painful sub-plot for United after this victory is that it opened up a 30-point gap between the two old foes.

The league was actually won a few days earlier when Tottenham failed to beat Chelsea, but few will forget the Foxes' triumphant homecoming. A spine-tingling rendition of Nessun Dorma by Italian opera singer Andrea Bocelli, a tear-jerking speech from manager Claudio Ranieri and a euphoric - if almost unbelieving - home crowd made it a stunning season finale. England beating Colombia on penalties to reach World Cup quarter-final (2018) Media playback is not supported on this device World Cup 2018: England's historic penalty shootout win against Colombia in full Ah, England and penalty shootouts.
I prefer to take the both teams scoring in this one although the over 2.5 goals bet is also quite a decent option as I expect a totally different game than the one during the normal season here when Beer Sheva easily won with 3-0 in the end, so did Maccabi Haifa defeat 5-0 Hapoel Tel Aviv during the normal season at home and just a few days ago lost 2-1 at home to the same Hapoel Tel Aviv side this while the guests also beat another top side Beitar Jerusalem with no less than 3-0 at home last round.
Both sides have been lying just below the middle of the league for the majority of the season and a win here would boost them a couple of places as they try and work their way into the top half of the league in the new year. Grimsby looked like a new side on New Year’s Day though and we’re backing them to pick another result with the handicap market looking like giving us the best value. A +0.75 handicap is given to the visitors and with the home side struggling as hosts this year it looks like good value. A Grimsby win or draw would give us a full win with the handicap really working in our favour.
At the age of 21, Bruno Fernandes walked into one of Italy's most famous clubs and declared he would be wearing the number 10 shirt. The Portugal midfielder, now 25, is poised to join Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon in a £47m deal which could rise to £67. After joining Novara in Italy from Boavista at the age of 17, without having played a first-team game in Portugal, he moved to Udinese.

They are ninth after three games and look to get a second win of the season when hosting bottom-of-the-table Belshina who are still without a point after three games. The home side have won one, drawn one and lost one of their first three league fixtures. Their season began with a 1-0 loss at Isloch Minsk with the winner coming two minutes from time.
However Liverpool were then grateful to poor finishing from Jose Mourinho's side - who were without the injured Harry Kane - to record another victory on their seemingly relentless march to a first title in 30 years. Son Heung-Min and substitute Giovani lo Celso missed glorious second-half chances to give Spurs some reward for a performance that improved as the game went on. But Liverpool, their position strengthened further by Leicester City's shock home loss to Southampton, held on to increase the sense of formality about the destination of this season's Premier League trophy.

For that reason, we’re using the Asian Handicap line to try and find the value backing Western Sydney Wanderers +0.5 goals. Their quality in attack should keep them from losing this game and we’re confident that the 0.5 line should give the visitors side a big chance of winning on the handicap. Newcastle have been struggling and whilst we can’t see them picking up the win here, they’ve got enough quality across their side to definitively say they will lose and the handicap gives us sufficient protection.
AZ have looked extremely threatening in forward areas for the vast majority of their 2019/20 campaign, and remarkably, their failure to score against United in October remains the only where they were unable to register in 20 attempts across two competitions.
Eredivisie leaders Ajax are aiming to finally bounce back from a horrible December run. They make this trip following three straight defeats, which has rocked their season. The reigning champions of this competition are under pressure to produce a statement victory when they meet Telstar this week.
I think everybody can see these players are being stretched, they are stretched, and I've got absolutely no complaints on any of them because they give absolutely everything they've got," the United boss said.

More to follow. Mainz boosted their hopes of avoiding relegation from the Bundesliga and capped a miserable week for Borussia Dortmund with a surprise victory.

The win moves Mainz five points above 16th-placed Fortuna Dusseldorf with just two games left to play.
While the Glazer’s regime has never been popular, over the last few weeks there seems to have been a general and pointed rise in public dissatisfaction.

Leverkusen is a team in the Bundesliga, listed as a team capable of competing for the Champions League ticket next season. However, the erratic is the main reason why they often lose points at critical moments. In round 21, Leverkusen had a great comeback against Dortmund (4-3) to climb to 5th in the table with 37 points and only 2 points behind the Top 4. Their ambition to win Champions League tickets is back, but if they want to accomplish this task, Leverkusen needs to continue to ensure stability in form. In this round, Leverkusen welcome Augsburg, Augsburg is ranked 11th in the table and they have not been in good form recently.
West Ham did not quite have the same control of the second half as they did the first as the Cherries looked to claw something back, but if the three points had not already been sealed by now, Anderson's second-half strike proved the final nail in the coffin. The Brazilian effortlessly brought down Declan Rice's weighted pass before a simple finish condemned Bournemouth to their 11th defeat of the season.
I really like the odds for the over bet here and I say this because they are like this because neither have been playing high scoring games since the restart but make no doubt about it Nurnberg despite drawing 3 games in a row they are quite weak in defense only drawing 2-2 away at Regensburg lately, they were also quite attacking minded away at St. Pauli but had the bad misfortune to receive a red card and ended up losing with 1-0 in the end.
We are going to the second division match in Spain where Sporting de Gijon face Real Oviedo. The local team is in the half of table coming after winning 0-2 in Alcorcón and I hope that today at home they can score one or more goals again. On the other hand, Oviedo needs the points to leave the relegation zone and after drawing 2-2 against Deportivo, I hope they can score one or more goals today. In my opinion, Sporting Gijon is only a slight favorite. Real Oviedo has finally started to score and is getting further and further away from the relegation zone. They are still threatened but with a win they would leave it. They have been unbeaten for four games in a row.
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has been ruled out of their Champions League last-16 second leg against Atletico Madrid with a hip injury. Alisson will also miss Saturday's home Premier League game against Bournemouth and is a doubt for the Merseyside derby at Everton on 16 March. Liverpool host Atletico on Wednesday, trailing 1-0 from the first leg. He is not available for tomorrow and then the next week," manager Jurgen Klopp said of the 27-year-old.
United could have been out of sight, twice having goals ruled out by the Video Assistant Referee and watching David McGoldrick hit the side-netting after rounding Brighton goalkeeper Mat Ryan. Brighton's best move of the match resulted in Neal Maupay tapping in from close range, but Martin Montoya was offside earlier in the move. The Blades go fifth for now, with Tottenham and Manchester United both still to play.
