Noble fired the home side ahead with a deflected 17th-minute shot from 20 metres before Haller doubled their lead with a spectacular goal eight minutes later, blasting in a Ryan Fredericks cross with an acrobatic volley. Noble rounded off a perfect first half for West Ham with a 35th-minute penalty, sending goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale the wrong way after he was fouled by Harry Wilson as he muscled his way past the Bournemouth forward.
It's happened. Lionel Messi has made football history by picking up a record sixth Ballon d'Or. The Argentine has won the prestigious award after scoring 54 goals for his club and country in 2018-19, and picking up his 10th La Liga title with Barcelona as well. It's the first time Messi has picked up the award since 2015. Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk came second, with five-time winner Cristiano Ronaldo third in the voting.
Marcelo Bielsa says the responsibility for Leeds United's stuttering Championship promotion push lies with himself rather than his players. Leeds lost for the fourth time in five league matches on Saturday at fellow promotion chasers Nottingham Forest. We can't demand any more effort from the players," Bielsa said. We have the resources to beat teams in the Championship and they give everything. Leeds have taken just nine points from a possible 30 since mid-December.
United said last Tuesday that Ward had "parted company" with the club. In addition to requesting that call meeting with senior officials, players have asked for a staff member, who is believed to be under furlough, to return to work because they felt they needed someone to speak to as they are losing trust in the club. Ward led Sheffield United to second place in the Women's Championship table - the highest finish in the history of a team formed in 2002.

Both are coming off the back of heavy defeats. Steve Bruce watched his side capitulate at Arsenal, a second-half implosion seeing them ship four goals, two of which came in stoppage time. Confidence is low in both camps; Palace fans have no faith in their frontline, the worst attack in the division with a goals-per-game average of 0.
Bolton Wanderers will host Peterborough United for one of the league. No doubt, the visitors have better team than their opponent. I believe, Peterborough is big favorites in this game. The visitors have a great chance to get all three points. On the other hand Bolton have a very difficult task in this season. Bolton is worst team in the league. I think, they have little chance. Hosts have low potential. They have a very vulnerable defense. In any case, I expect, the visitors will try to dominate in this game. They tend to score a goal. My pick - Peterborough to win.
But no. We got in at full-time and Fergie went at me for two or three minutes saying 'you are finished, you are out and in the reserves, that is you done'. All the big boys including Cristiano Ronaldo were still in the dressing room at the time. That was me done, I was training with the reserves for the rest of the season. Pulis not fond of 'that Barca' footballFoster had a year at Birmingham, where he won the League Cup, before spending seven seasons at West Brom and playing under Tony Pulis.
With football halted across the globe, however, FIFA is aware that it may well have to deal with a series of different agreements and possible complaints, and its guidelines urge any cuts to be "proportionate". FIFA's Coronavirus working group met last week and agreed on a wide range of issues, summarised in the document, including that player contracts due to run out in June should be extended to the end of any resumed season.

And on England striker Rashford, who suffered a stress fracture in his back in January, Solskjaer said the outlook was worse. I would hope he's playing this season - it will just be touch and go towards the end," added the Norwegian. I was hoping he would recover quicker than what it looks like he's going to be out for. Another few months definitely. If he's not fit enough he won't go [to the Euros].
We are in active dialogue with all the relevant people to manage this situation appropriately, and we look forward to getting back to training and playing as soon as medical advice allows. Head of football Raul Sanllehi added: “Mikel and the full first-team squad, players and staff, will be fully supported, and we look forward to getting back to training and playing as soon as medical advice allows.
The video assistant referee "didn't get it right" in Chelsea's 2-0 home loss against Manchester United and it was "soul destroying" for the fans, says Blues boss Frank Lampard. VAR official Chris Kavanagh did not feel Harry Maguire deserved a red card for appearing to kick Michy Batshuayi. Kavanagh also ruled out two Chelsea goals - one for a push in the box and the other for offside. Hundreds of Chelsea fans left Stamford Bridge with more than 10 minutes left.
Tottenham lost their first league game of a calendar year for the first time since 2009, winning eight and drawing two before this defeat. Southampton have won two of their past three Premier League games with Tottenham (L1), after winning just one of the 13 before that (D2 L10). Tottenham have kept only one clean sheet in 11 games under Jose Mourinho in all competitions. Only Jamie Vardy (17) has scored more Premier League goals this season than Southampton's Danny Ings (13).
In the midst of all of this, Dens Park managing director John Nelms apparently told club secretary Eric Drysdale to "hold off resubmitting their vote". Following so far?One of the biggest questions remains - why? Why hold off? Why not resubmit the vote that fellow Championship clubs were told had been submitted? Why has Nelms, or anyone at the club, not publicly clarified their position, and what now for the validity of the vote? And, crucially, if they have changed their mind from a no vote, what has made them? Dundee's voting slip, signed by managing director John Nelms, though the SPFL say they only received it after being told to ignore any Dundee submissionWhy did the SPFL announce an incomplete ballot return?A topic very much for the conspiracy theorists and cynics, one would suggest.

While the 30-year-old Le Sommer has lifted a trophy every year she has been at the Ligue 1 side, silverware on the international stage has proved much more elusive. WORLD CUP DISAPPOINTMENT Expectations in France were high going into this year's women's World Cup, with the hosts aiming at least to improve on their previous best result - their fourth-place finish at the 2011 tournament in Germany.
It would lead to player sales and cost-cutting which would not be possible to overturn in just one season, potentially harming the quality of the product they can sell. By giving the broadcasters extra games at no further cost, it supports both parties financially. Read the full story La Liga urges pay cuts In Spain, there are similar moves afoot where La Liga have called upon clubs to effect their own pay cuts in order to preserve the industry and the viability of the teams.
We will have to rotate with all the games," he said. He's one that could start, we've not made a decision yet. Solskjaer also said Paul Pogba, who has only played twice since September due to ankle injuries, is not close to a first team return. He said: "Paul has not been part of the team training yet, so it'll depend on how he feels or when he feels ready to do that, so he's not anywhere near that yet.

In order to be recognised as the world's oldest professional player, Bahader must play at least one more 90-minute game. Should Bahader be picked to play, a representative of Guinness World Records will attend his second match later this month to assess his claim. The current record for the oldest professional soccer player is held by Israel's Isaak Hayik, who played in goal last April for Israel's Ironi Or Yehuda, aged 73.

Charlton is winles for the 11 games in a row which is pretty much incredible in a league like this but at least they stopped their long streak with 2 defeats in a row and I think the victory is coming for them on boxing day versus the opponent who lost 3 games in a row. Also Bristol city defense is horrible one of the worst in the league and with that kind of defense I don't think they could hope for some points tomorrow and I expect from Charlton to score 2 goals and to finally secure the victory at home and totally
Bordeaux also have four clean sheets in their last six games at the Matmut Atlantique so we think they will give Lyon attack a run for its money. As a result of this, we're backing this match to finish 1-1 as it has been a common score in this fixture (two of the last three finishing 1-1) and both teams have reasons to be confident and weary.
That appeared to be a needless and unfair pop at BT. In response, their main presenter, Darrell Currie, called Doncaster's words "pathetic". Given BT could now potentially claim up to several million pounds in liabilities following the Premiership being finished early, getting stroppy with them was probably an ill-advised move. What did Alfredo mean?The moment when Rangers striker Alfredo Morelos was sent-off in the closing minutes at Celtic Park and the almighty row that erupted in the aftermath of the gesture he made when leaving the field.
Spurs facing transfer setback Tottenham are set to significantly reduce their transfer budget as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. The Daily Mail report that Spurs’ income is set to suffer as doubts have emerged over the viability of securing a lucrative naming rights deal for their new stadium. The club furloughed all 550 non-playing staff this week and are still paying debts on their stadium, which was opened a year ago and has lost revenue from postponed football games and other events.
Unfortunately, Nantes are struggling at present. The top four is most certainly within their reach, but not if they continue to drop points on a regular basis. Sunday's hosts have won just one of their last seven overall, while they've been blighted by inconsistency at home. Two wins were preceded by a pair of losses at Stade de la Beaujoire. They did win last time out at this venue, but they now need to back that result up with another victory. Fortunately, a match against a struggling Dijon presents the hosts with the perfect opportunity to claim three points.
We’re siding with Reading here, who should keep an important clean sheet here. The Rams have lost to nil in 60% of their trips in the league this season, so we’re going with a 1-0 Reading win as they look to extend the visitors’ away troubles.
I've got a fear of lifts," says Caldwell. But this place had a glass one that shot right up the outside of the building, which was actually much better than I thought it would be when I was standing at the bottom. For Miller, the hotel stood out for the heated toilet seats - "jets of water to clean your backside!" - while McCulloch's main memory is the green tea. It was the first time I'd had it and I was battering right in; I even got some to bring home.
The reigning champions are in serious danger of missing out on a second successive championship due to a terrible run of form. Second in the table, three points behind leaders Porto, Benfica have failed to win six of their last seven matches in all competitions. Maritimo are 16th in the table, four points clear of relegation and hoping to spring a shock against the division's heavyweight side.
But he has to be ready for when the moment arrives. Vinicius could have the chance to feature against Alaves as Real's joint-record signing Hazard is unavailable after hurting his ankle in Tuesday's pulsating 2-2 draw with PSG. Zidane said the Belgian's injury was not serious but could not guarantee whether he would be fit to face Barcelona on Dec.
That won’t come before the game tonight, though, which is crucial for both sides. Chelsea can shut down a rival, but Arsenal can keep their domestic season alive. Should be a pearler.
