Uzbekistan v Oman: Cuper puts pressure on Gulf Cup champions

´I´m not thinking about leaving next year´ – Nkunku serious about RB Leipzig commitment

But Serhou Guirassy, having already had two goals ruled out and hit the crossbar, converted a 92nd-minute penalty awarded for Matthijs de Ligt s foul on the visiting forward.

Emery rejects Everton approach

According to a recent report from Marca, former Arsenal manager Unai Emery decided to reject an approach from Everton that could’ve seen the Spaniard become the Toffees’ new manager. Emery only recently left his post at the Emirates following a poor string of results with the club, and the belief is that he felt as if it was far too soon for him to take on another role – especially in the Premier League. 

Everton are still searching for a replacement for Marco Silva who was also given his marching orders after a poor start to the campaign for the blue half of Merseyside. Carlo Ancelotti is now said to be in prime position to take on the role, which will serve as music to the ears of most. 

Emery will likely take up another position abroad, but at this moment i…

Benfica 5-1 Club Brugge (7-1 agg): Ramos at the double in Champions League rout

A rampant Benfica eased into the Champions League quarter-finals as Goncalo Ramos double helped secure a 5-1 second-leg home win over Club Brugge.

Rafa Silva, Joao Mario and David Neres were also on target as Benfica ruthlessly stamped out any hopes of a Brugge comeback with a sparkling display at the Estadio da Luz on Tuesday, sealing a 7-1 aggregate victory.

Scott Parker s side faced a daunting task after suffering a 2-0 defeat in the first leg, and their goal lived a charmed life early on when Joao Mario s flick was disallowed for offside.

Brugge s resistance was broken when Silva s clever footwork gave him the space to nudge into the far corner, before Ramos lashed home a second.

Ramos doubled his tally to make it 3-0 and Joao Mario added a fourth fro…
