Salah lagi! [metro]

LONDON: Mohamed Salah memimpin Liverpool untuk sekali lagi menyelamatkan mata menerusi jaringan kemenangan enam minit sebelum perlawanan berakhir di laman lawan dengan kemenangan 2-1 mengatasi Crystal Palace sebentar tadi, sekali gus membawa pasukannya ke tangga kedua Liga Perdana Inggeris (EPL).

Luka Milivojevic membawa pasukan diancam penyingkiran, Palace di depan pada minit ke-13 menerusi sepakan penalti dan tuan rumah tidak bernasib baik ketika dua pemain Liverpool, Loris Karius dan Sadio Mane dengan mudah boleh dibuang padang.

Mane menyamakan kedudukan empat minit selepas rehat babak pertama.

Walaupun melalui perlawanan paling perlahan bersama Liverpool musim ini, Salah terbukti menjadi penyelamat perlawanan.

Liverpool mengatasi pencabar utama Manchester United, namun Red Devils boleh kembali ke kedudukan kedua di belakang pendahulu, Manchester City apabila mereka menanti kehadiran Swansea City sebentar lagi.

Kekalahan ketiga berturut-turut di laman sendiri buat Palace menyebabkan skuad kendalian Roy Hodgson itu hanya dua mata di atas zon penyingkiran - bermain lebih dua perlawanan berbanding Southampton di tangga ke-18.

MSL : Pahang hilang Forkey Doe

KUANTAN: Pahang mengesahkan kehilangan khidmat penyerang berbisa, Francis Forkey Doe bagi baki saingan Liga Malaysia musim ini.

Jurulatih Dollah Salleh yang terkilan kerana kecederaan kaki kanan pemain dari Liberia itu serius mengesahkan dia memerlukan tempoh panjang untuk pulih.

"Saya tak sangka kecederaan dialami Doe begitu serius ketika skuad ini berada pada prestasi terbaik.

"Dia sudah membuktikan kepada pasukan dan penyokong bahawa sentuhannya masih lagi berbisa dan membantu pasukan mencatat kemenangan.

"Ketiadaannya begitu dirasai dalam pasukan terutama di bahagian serangan yang dilihat cukup bagus apabila bergandingan dengan Patrick Cruz," kata Dollah.

Justeru beliau akan melakukan percaturan terbaik untuk memastikan skuad Tok Gajah masih mantap walaupun tanpa Doe.

Katanya, ketiadaan Doe tidak melunturkan semangat pemain kerana perjalanan pasukan masih lagi panjang.

"Perkara utama perlu dilakukan adalah membentuk kembali pasukan ini supaya lebih bagus terutama memastikan ketajaman di bahagian serangan," katanya.

Pada aksi pusingan ketiga Piala FA bertemu Kedah, pemain berusia 33 tahun itu terpaksa diusung keluar seawal minit ke-10 selepas mengalami kecederaan kaki.

Dalam saingan Liga Super, Doe membuktikan dia masih penyerang berbisa apabila menjaringkan tiga gol selepas lima perlawanan.

Germany and Spain show why they're a cut above the rest

Germany and Spain played out an entertaining friendly draw in a meeting of the past two world champions.

Spain, the 2010 World Cup winners, led within six minutes as Rodrigo smashed home from Andres Iniesta's pass.

But reigning world champions Germany levelled from Thomas Muller's 25-yard curling effort in a lively first half. 

The second half in Dusseldorf was not as enthralling, with frequent changes killing any momentum, although Mats Hummels hit the bar for Germany.

His header from Toni Kroos' free-kick clipped the top of the frame.

Both sides remain unbeaten since Euro 2016, with Germany one game away from equalling their record of 23 matches, while Spain have not lost in 17. 

Spain keeper David de Gea did well to tip a Julian Draxler curler around the post, while Germany counterpart Marc-Andre ter Stegen expertly denied Isco with a point-blank save.

Ten changes were made in total, with Villarreal midfielder Rodri making his Spain debut.

GERMANY (4-2-3-1): Ter Stegen; Kimmich, Hummels, Boateng, Hector; Kroos, Khedira (Gundogan 53); Muller (Goretzka 81), Ozil, Draxler (Sane 68); Werner (Gomez 84).

France issues vs. Colombia give Didier Deschamps a major problem

Jaringan France - Oliver Giroud'11 Thomas Lemar'26

Jaringan Colombia - Luis Muriel'28, Radamel Falcao'62 Juan Fernando Quitero'85

PARIS, France -- Manager Didier Deschamps was absolutely livid after his France side let a two-goal lead slip to fall to a 3-2 defeat against Colombia on Friday evening at the Stade de France.

Sources told ESPN FC that he laid into his players in the dressing room, labelling their second half performance "unacceptable" and slammed their attitude, lack of effort and lack of concentration. He made sure to add that if they play like this at the World Cup in the summer they won't go far!

Deschamps rarely loses it. It is only the third time since he took over in 2012 that he has a real go at his players. The first time was away in Albania in June 2015 (a 1-0 defeat) and the second was at half-time against Ireland in the round of 16 at Euro 2016 when his team were 1-0 down at half-time before Antoine Griezmann scored twice to give them a 2-1 win.

The former Juventus manager has not lost much in the last six years with France (just 15 times in 72 matches) but Friday's loss is surely the worst.

Going 2-0 up inside 26 minutes, the first half was everything good you can expect from this France team, even though Luis Muriel quickly got a goal back to make it 2-1. Paul Pogba, left on the bench by Didier Deschamps, was not missed and instead the front four of Kylian Mbappe, Griezmann, Olivier Giroud and Thomas Lemar played well together. Lemar and Mbappe, especially, were dazzling; Blaise Matuidi and N'Golo Kante bossed the midfield. It all looked great.

The second half, however, was the total opposite. France lost all control and stopped playing as a team. They could not put three passes together and neglected their defensive duties; they took their eyes off the ball; they never managed to respond to Colombia's tactical change at half-time to a 4-2-3-1 formation and were overrun in midfield as the South Americans found spaces between the lines.

With the Stade de France sounding like the Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Melendez in Barranquilla, the French started making mistakes under pressure: Kante lost the ball leading straight to Colombia's second goal; Muriel almost scored again after nicking the ball off Raphael Varane before Samuel Umtiti gave a way a silly penalty for what led to the winner.

The players are to blame for the arrogance, complacency, a lack of effort and team spirit that contributed to the defeat, but what about Deschamps? His apathy also cost France the game.

He didn't change anything tactically despite his team's struggles and should have reacted to Colombia's switch of tactics. Instead, he stood watching like he had no answers or plan B. His 4-4-2 formation worked for 35 minutes, but then it showed its limits. There is a reason why no other major nation plays a 4-4-2. However, Deschamps insists that it is his best option.

ni apahal main laga2 kepala nih? 😆😆

Some of his substitutions, all planned before the game, didn't make much sense (Florian Thauvin, Wissam Ben Yedder, Pogba) in that context because the problem was as much the tactics as the personnel.

The defeat also showed a major lack of leadership in his team. There was no one capable of rallying his teammates to turn things around and come out fighting. There was no one aggressive enough to cope with the Colombians' hunger and determination.

Corentin Tolisso may have done so but the Bayern Munich midfielder was out injured; Laurent Koscielny as well but he was left on the bench while Varane and Umtiti were bullied in the second half.

Suddenly, Tuesday's game in St Petersburg against Russia becomes massively important. France have to bounce back and Deschamps has to get things right. The coach cannot afford a second defeat in a row, especially against a very average team.

He had planned to rotate his team but now the pressure is on. Does he give the players who failed against Colombia another chance or does he send a strong message to the squad by sending out a brand new team? It is a tough choice and when asked on Friday after the game, he had no answers, saying he would watch the Colombia match again on Saturday and then make a decision.

Lingard memang ligat

AMSTERDAM: Jesse Lingard menjaringkan gol England pertamanya ketika skuad berwajah baharu itu menewaskan Belanda 1-0 dalam aksi persahabatan awal pagi tadi.

Ia adalah perlawanan di tempat lawan terakhir England sebelum mereka berkampung di Russia untuk kempen Piala Dunia tahun ini manakala Belanda antara pasukan utama yang terlepas menyertai kejohanan kali ini.

Ia juga adalah kemenangan pertama England ke atas Belanda selepas kali terakhir menang 4-1 di Wembley ketika Euro 96, di mana pengendali England sekarang, Gareth Southgate turut beraksi.

Bagi legenda Belanda Ronald Koeman, ia permulaan mengecewakan pada perlawanan pertamanya sebagai pengendali Oranje.

Lingard meraikan gol jaringannya bersama2 rakan

Aksi persahabatan menentang Itali di laman sendiri minggu depan adalah medan terakhir buat Southgate memilih skuad Piala Dunia ke Russia.

Pada perlawanan awal pagi tadi, pemain tengah Manchester United Lingard meledak gol tunggal pada minit ke-59, sejurus selepas England dinafikan sepakan penalti walaupun jelas Marcus Rashford dijatuhkan dalam kotak oleh Matthijs de Ligt dan penjaga gol Jeroen Zoet.

Dalam perkembangan lain, 90 penyokong England ditahan oleh polis Amsterdam kerana mengganggu ketenteraman awam menjelang perlawanan berkenaan.

“Jumlah tangkapan ke atas penyokong England kini mencecah 90 orang,” kata polis Amsterdam.

Dalam salah satu rakaman video, anggota polis berkuda dilihat cuba meleraikan kumpulan penyokong England di kawasan tumpuan pelancongan, manakala satu video lagi menunjukkan sekumpulan penyokong mencampak basikal dari jambatan ke arah bot yang sedang melalui terusan.

Sebagai rekod, Ibrahimovic yang kini berusia 36 tahun pernah dianggap antara penyerang terbaik dunia dan pernah mewakili beberapa pasukan besar seperti United, Barcelona, Juventus, dan Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). - Agensi

Harimau Malaya gigit jari

Kempunan tamatkan badi kekalahan selepas seri 2-2 menentang Mongolia

PENYERANG Harimau Malaya, Ahmad Hazwan Bakri (kiri) diasak oleh pemain pertahanan Mongolia pada perlawanan persahabatan antarabangsa di Stadium Nasional, Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur malam tadi.

MASIH kempunan. Aksi sulung Harimau Malaya di bawah kendalian jurulatih Tan Cheng Hoe gagal menamatkan kemarau kemenangan apabila sekadar seri 2-2 menentang Mongolia pada aksi persahabatan di Stadium Nasional, Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur malam tadi.

Keserian tersebut memanjangkan lagi rekod buruk skuad negara yang masih gagal meraih sebarang kemenangan sejak kali terakhir dilakukan ketika menang ke atas Kemboja 3-2 pada aksi Piala Persekutuan Bola Sepak ASEAN (AFF) 2016.

Malaysia yang berada di ranking ke-178 Persekutuan Bola Sepak Antarabangsa (FIFA) dilihat bergelut untuk mengatasi skuad Genghis Khan yang menduduki tangga lebih rendah iaitu 189.

Pada aksi malam tadi, Harimau Malaya terlebih dulu berada di depan menerusi jaringan sendiri kapten Mongolia, Turbat Daginaa yang menanduk bola hasil sepakan penjuru Safawi Rasid pada minit ke-31

Bagaimanapun, kelebihan skuad negara itu tidak bertahan lama apabila Mongolia yang dikendalikan Michael Weiss berjaya menyamakan kedudukan menerusi Enkhbileg Purevdorj pada minit ke-43.

Bersambung pada babak kedua, kemasukan pemain gantian, Akhyar Abdul Rashid memberikan kegembiraan kepada 10,200 penyokong negara apabila meledak gol kedua Harimau Malaya pada minit ke-65.

Namun, benteng pertahanan negara sekali lagi dihukum selepas Mongolia kembali menyamakan kedudukan menerusi sepakan percuma Gankhuyag Ser-Od-Yanjiv yang menewaskan penjaga gol Malaysia, Muhammad Haziq Nadzli pada minit ke-71.

Skuad Mongolia yang dibarisi sebahagian besar pemain semi-pro cuba mengasak benteng pertahanan Malaysia, namun keputusan 2-2 kekal sehingga tamat perlawanan.

Piala FA : Kedah,Kelantan, Penang kecundang | Tiada rezeki Melaka Utd | Solehin hero gawang KL dlm sepakan penalti

Dollah tabik Tok Gajah - KUANTAN: Pengendali Pahang, Dollah Salleh memuji disiplin tinggi ditunjukkan pemainnya selepas menewaskan juara bertahan, Kedah pada pusingan ketiga Piala FA, malam tadi.

Bekas jurulatih kebangsaan itu berkata, kejayaan skuad Tok Gajah layak ke suku akhir begitu bermakna sekali gus mencerahkan peluang untuk menjulang trofi berprestij itu.

Malah, katanya, kemenangan itu juga menebus kembali kekecewaan apabila tewas kepada skuad Helang Merah 2-3 pada aksi final musim lalu.

"Sudah pasti kemenangan ini menambah lagi keyakinan pasukan untuk menjulang kejuaraan musim ini kerana Piala FA antara piala yang diidamkan.

SHAH ALAM: Kemenangan tipis pendahulu Liga Super, Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT) ke atas UiTM FC pada aksi pusingan ketiga Piala FA nyata belum cukup untuk memuaskan hati pengendalinya, Raul Longhi.

Meskipun jurulatih kelahiran Argentina itu mengakui kemenangan 3-2 itu adalah lebih penting, namun dia tidak gembira dengan sikap yang ditunjukkan barisan pemainnya ketika berdepan pasukan Liga Perdana itu.

"Saya tidak suka pemain mempunyai sikap sambil lewa dan mudah hilang bola walaupun menguasai perlawanan. Kami perlu ada sikap yang bagus ketika kami menguasai bola.

"Jika kita mahu berterusan menang, kita mesti tunjukkan kesungguhan dan bermain dengan baik. Kita perlu ambil peluang sebanyak mungkin dan bukannya rasa selesa apabila sudah mendahului.

Fallen giants AC Milan should act as a warning to Arsenal as Gunners book place in last-8 of Europa League

Arsenal booked their place in the last-eight of the Europa League after two goals from Danny Welbeck either side of Granit Xhaka’s strike gave the Gunners a 3-1 (5-1 on aggregate) win against AC Milan at the Emirates. 

Arsene Wenger’s men had a 2-0 aggregate lead from last week’s clash at the San Siro but lacked purpose in the opening stages and survived an early scare when Andre Silva pulled his strike wide after just 45 seconds. Milan took the lead after 35 minutes when Hakan Calhanoglu struck from 25 yards out but David Ospina, stepping in for Petr Cech, will feel his positioning should have been better on reflection.

The tie swung back in Arsenal’s favour two minutes later when referee Jonas Eriksson took advice from the assistant referee behind the goal who felt Welbeck was brought down by Ricardo Rodriguez – though replays showed minimal contact. 

Genaro Gattuso’s side came close to regaining the lead after the interval but Gianluigi Donnarumma’s mistake gifted Xhaka a goal before Welbeck added his second of the night late on.

Milan’s mini revival in the run-up to the first-leg proved to be overblown when Arsenal cut through Gattuso’s side almost at will in northern Italy last Thursday. The Serie A giants have kept eight clean sheets in their last nine games but even this Arsenal side was able to carve them open and they continued to do so at the Emirates. It did, in fairness, take a while.

Milan were the better side for the majority of the first half and capitalised on the passive atmosphere at the Emirates. Arsenal’s 2-0 lead from the first leg meant they didn’t know whether to stick or twist and Calhanoglu deservedly put his side ahead. The Turkey international was picking up spaces between Arsenal’s midfield and their defence and he unleashed a decent strike from 25 yards out that swerved into the bottom right hand corner. 

Ospina’s positioning was questionable and at that stage supporters were rightly questioning the folly of dropping Cech, the undisputed number one, for the Colombian. However, the goal actually simplified Arsenal’s task. Now they knew they needed to score and supporters found their collective voice as they realised they were back in a game.

The Gunners produced more intensity in the four minutes after Milan’s opener than they did in the opening 35 minutes but their route back into the match was aided by a controversial decision from the referee’s assistant. 

Welbeck latched onto a ball behind Milan’s defence and fell to the ground in installments after minimal contact from Swiss defender Rodriguez. Referee Eriksson didn’t appear to look interested at the start but pointed to the spot on the advice of his assistant behind the goal.

Milan were furious but their protests came to no avail. Welbeck had just one goal in his last 14 appearances before tonight but stepped forward to take the penalty and put Gianluigi Donnarumma the wrong way to restore Arsenal’s two goal lead on aggregate.

It was a cruel way for Milan to bow out after a decent performance but in truth the damage had been done in the first leg.

The Serie A giants spent more than £200million last summer – the most in Italy – and had pinned their hopes on Europa League success to regain entry into the Champions League.

Milan last competed in Europe’s elite competition in 2013/14 but were knocked out in the last-16 by Atletico Madrid. Their absence has cost the club more in money than it has in prestige but their struggles shouldn’t be too far from Arsenal’s thoughts in the remainder of their Europa League campaign. Milan are a high profile example of what can happen to a giant club that allows a poor season to morph into half a decade of isolation.

The Gunners’ top four hopes are gone and they need to win this season’s competition to salvage their season. A second season outside of the Champions League is taxing on every level of the club, not least its finances. 

January’s recruitment of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan proved the club can attract top class players without the lure of Champions League football but, as AC Milan show, it’s a long, difficult road back to the top. 

Wenger is clinging onto his tenure at Arsenal and he may need to win May’s final in Lyon to see out the final year of his contract but the club, with the threat of a second season outside the Champions League looming, need it as much as he does.

ROMA win on away goals

Roma are through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time since 2008 after beating Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 in their second-leg tie at the Stadio Olimpico thanks to a magnificent finish by Edin Dzeko, which sent them through on the away goal they scored in a 2-1 defeat in the first leg.

Roma celebrated only their second win in six meetings with the Ukrainian side and got revenge for a 6-2 aggregate defeat by them at the same stage of the competition in 2011, although they endured a nervy finish.

Having trailed 2-1 from the first leg, Roma looked bereft of ideas for much of the contest before Dzeko broke the deadlock in the 52nd minute following a tepid first half devoid of goalmouth action.

Edin Dzeko now has four goals in the Champions League this season

Shakhtar came close to extending their overall advantage when the Roma defender Alessandro Florenzi headed a floated free-kick into the box inches wide of his own far post.

Roma’s solitary glimpse of goal in the opening half came in the 28th minute when the visiting goalkeeper, Andriy Pyatov, palmed away a fizzing low cross by Aleksandar Kolarov to deny Dzeko a simple tap-in from close range.

The home side came out with renewed purpose in the second half and Dzeko delighted Roma fans when he broke the deadlock with a trademark clinical finish. The Bosnian took a defence-splitting pass from Kevin Strootman into his stride and beat the offside trap before he steered the ball into the far corner with the outside of his foot, past the advancing Pyatov.

Dzeko then curled a shot from the edge of the penalty area inches wide in the 62nd minute before the Shakhtar centre-back Ivan Ordets was shown a straight red card in the 79th for hauling down the Bosnian when he was through on goal.

Despite being a man down, Shakhtar launched a late onslaught and had several dangerous raids down the left but the home team’s defence held on until the final whistle.

Roma goalscorer Edin Dzeko: "The standing ovation is not for me but for everyone - we are deservedly in the quarter-finals.

"We managed to do something Roma hadn't in 10 years, so going forward to play against the best makes us all very proud.

"We are among the eight best sides in Europe."

UCL : Mourinho is out of touch, and out of the UCL

WissBenYedder: "We've made history and we couldn't be happier"

• Manchester United went into the game on level terms after a 0-0 draw away against Sevilla in the first leg
• Paul Pogba was on the bench after missing the Liverpool game but was introduced for Marouane Fellaini 
• Wissam Ben Yedder broke the deadlock for the visitors with a perfectly-placed effort into the bottom corner
• The Sevilla substitute then doubled their advantage with a header, despite David de Gea getting a hand to it 
• Romelu Lukaku managed to pull a late goal back for Manchester United, but it was not enough for his side 

By the time the last Manchester United player left the pitch, the stadium had already close to emptied. Only one pocket of noise and jubilation remained, Sevilla's support, bouncing and boisterous, singing in Spanish to the same melody that accompanies 'Will Grigg's on fire'.

Wissam Ben Yedder's on fire doesn't scan, but he was and as a result Manchester United are out of Europe. An excellent performance by the away team, full of the ambition United failed to show over two matches, was only half the tale, though. 

Manchester United haven't travelled beyond this stage since 2014 and didn't really look like doing it on Tuesday night, either. If Sevilla could have found their range earlier, this tie would not have taken so long to conclude. As it was the addition of Ben Yedder – a striker rejected by West Ham for being too small, apparently – changed the game. 

"There is no time to be sad," Mourinho said after Wissam Ben Yedder's two goals sent Sevilla into the Champions League quarterfinals for the first time. "This is football. It's not the end of the world.

"I sit in this chair twice in the Champions League and knocked United out of the Champions League, with Real or Porto, so I don't think it is something new for the club. I don't have regrets, I did my best, the players tried their best. We lost, that's football."
