Spain give England post-World Cup reality check with Nations League win (2-1)

3 quick thoughts from Spain's 2-1 win over England in the UEFA Nations League at Wembley on Saturday.

1. Spain give England a dose of post-World Cup reality

Spain gave England a World Cup reality check at Wembley as first-half goals from Saul and Rodrigo overturned Marcus Rashford's early opener to claim a 2-1 Nations League victory in Luis Enrique's first game in charge. Having reached the semifinals at Russia 2018 before losing to Croatia in Moscow, England's return to action was an unhappy one, with Spain dominating for large parts of the game before emerging with their first win on English soil since a 1-0 victory at Old Trafford in February 2007.

Before the game, England coach Gareth Southgate had warned that his team still had much to prove on the international stage, claiming that the country's winning record against world football's elite has been "non-existent" since the World Cup success in 1966. And once again in a competitive fixture, England failed to beat a team regarded as one of the major nations.

Rashford's opener, following an 11th-minute Luke Shaw cross, hinted at a performance and result that would extend the team's post-Russia honeymoon period. But Saul equalised within two minutes and enabled Spain to gain the upper hand before Valencia forward Rodrigo netted at the near post to make it 2-1 on 31 minutes.

England then lost Shaw early in the second half after a collision with Dani Carvajal that left the Manchester United defender requiring lengthy treatment on the pitch before being carried off on a stretcher. The FA told members of the media after the match that Shaw was "fine and walking and talking in the dressing room".

The home side went close twice through Rashford in the closing stages and were unfortunate to have a late Danny Welbeck goal ruled out for an apparent foul on David De Gea, but Spain held out to make a winning start to the Nations League.

2. Luis Enrique makes an instant impact as Spain coach

Luis Enrique knows all about taking on a talented team that has performed well below its level, having lifted Barcelona from their post-Pep Guardiola slump to become Champions League winners again, so managing Spain will not faze the 48-year-old.

It is a similar challenge with La Roja, who crashed out of the World Cup in Russia at the round of 16 after the shock exit of coach Julen Lopetegui days before the start of the tournament. For all of the distractions in Russia, Spain's multi-talented squad should have done much better, and Luis Enrique has inherited a group of world-class players who could easily win Euro 2020 in two years' time.

Winning his first game in charge against England gives Luis Enrique a perfect start, and even with the recent retirements of Andres Iniesta, Gerard Pique and David Silva, he still has great quality to work with.

Thiago showed at Wembley that he can fill the void left by Manchester City midfielder Silva, with the Bayern Munich man dictating the tempo of this game. Isco and Saul also offer threat in attacking positions, while Marcos Alonso more than justified Luis Enrique's decision to overlook Barcelona left-back Jordi Alba. Diego Costa, unavailable for the this game, will return to add menace up front, while Alvaro Morata's recent upturn in form will also work in Luis Enrique's favour.

The loss of Pique may prove a problem, with Spain having no obvious replacement, but with Sergio Ramos still dominating the Spanish back four, even the absence of Pique might not be an issue.

3. Southgate influence shown by England turnover

While England have changed little since their run to the World Cup semifinals, with nine of the starting 11 having played in Russia during the summer, the turnover during Gareth Southgate's two-year reign in charge was evident in this game.

When England last faced Spain at Wembley in November 2016, during Southgate's four-game run as interim manager after Sam Allardyce's dismissal, it was an altogether different team that lined up for the hosts. And such has been the revolution under Southgate, only eight of those in the 23-man squad for that fixture in 2016 remain involved almost two years on.

The likes of Joe Hart, Gary Cahill, Jamie Vardy, Theo Walcott and Jack Wilshere have all gone, with Wayne Rooney -- not involved that night -- also no longer in the picture. John Stones, Danny Rose, Jordan Henderson, Eric Dier and Jesse Lingard have all gone on to become key figures under Southgate since facing Spain the last time around, though, and the new-look England came within a whisker of reaching the World Cup final for the first time since 1966 in Russia.

They ultimately fell short, but Southgate was brought in to pull England out of its international malaise, and he has succeeded.

However, Spain showed at Wembley how far England still have to go before they can count themselves as a serious international force. They are getting better, but there is still plenty of work to do.

Jose Mourinho spearheads top managers summit in absence of Sir Alex Ferguson along with old rivals Arsene Wenger and Rafa Benitez

• Jose Mourinho was one of 12 elite managers at UEFA summit where talks are held to improve the game
• The Nyon event at UEFA HQ was attended by Mourinho's old managerial rivals including Rafa Benitez
• Despite not having a club, former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was also present in Switzerland
• But his successor at the Emirates Stadium Unai Emery failed to attend, despite being invited

Jose Mourinho has been calling for respect in the last couple of weeks so it is probably little surprise to see him spearhead a list of Europe's elite coaches in a forum hosted by UEFA. Mourinho was furious with a journalist during a post-match press conference following Manchester United's dismal 3-0 Premier League defeat by Tottenham Hotspur last month, calling for more 'respect' after ranting that he had won more Premier League titles than all the managers in the top flight put together.  But joined by old rivals Arsene Wenger and Rafael Benitez, the United boss was part of a group of managers discussing the major issues in the game

Jose Mourinho has been calling for respect in the last couple of weeks so it is probably little surprise to see him now spearhead a list of Europe's elite coaches in a forum hosted by UEFA.

Mourinho was furious with a journalist during a post-match press conference following Manchester United's dismal 3-0 Premier League defeat by Tottenham Hotspur last month, calling for more 'respect' after ranting that he had won more Premier League titles than all the managers in the top flight put together. 

But joined by old rivals Arsene Wenger and Rafael Benitez, the United boss was part of 12 managers discussing the major issues in the game.

The coaches forum in Nyon at UEFA's HQ on Tuesday was held with the purpose of to discuss and make proposals to the governing body that may be of overall benefit to the European game.

Managers can be invited to attend the event but must fit the criteria of having taken charge of 100 Champions League matches, been part of last season's last-16 or been in charge of one of last season's final four in the Europa League.

Mourinho's relationship with Wenger has been sour since the Portuguese came to the Premier League in 2004, hitting a low in the last few years when he called the former Arsenal boss a specialist in failure.

The two had previously battled for the title while Mourinho was at Chelsea, who also developed a rivalry with Benitez during the Spaniard's time as Liverpool boss as their respective sides repeatedly clashed in the Champions League.

But the trio put their differences to one side at the annual event now in its 20th year

Among those invited to this year's event was Unai Emery but despite being confirmed to appear at the summit he was nowhere to be seen in the group photo that featured his Emirates predecessor.

Wenger is without a club after leaving the Gunners following 22 years at the club but he looked in high spirits at the event, sharing discussions along with Borussia Dortmund chief Thomas Tuchel and UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin.

The meeting, that ran between 1pm and 5.50pm BST, started with all the coaches sending their best wishes to Sir Alex Ferguson, who is a UEFA Coaching ambassador.

The former Manchester United boss is on the mend following recent emergency surgery after suffering a brain haemorrhage.

Helping discuss talks with the managers from UEFA was the president Ceferin as well as competitions director Giorgio Marchetti and chief refereeing officer Roberto Rosetti.

Also on the agenda for the managers was the subject of transfer windows, with  the coaches wanting the European summer transfer window to close on the same day across the continent before their league seasons start. 

Though trading in most European leagues ended on August 31, English clubs could not buy players after August 9 and the Italian deadline was August 17.

English leagues switched this year aiming to avoid disrupting team plans after leagues kicked off.

Marchetti says the coaches were in agreement that: 'There should be one window ending at the same time and that window should not overlap with competitions.'

A FIFA panel is currently drafting recommendations about changes to the transfer market and trading periods. 

Liv Vs Lei -LIHAT BLUNDER YANG DILAKUKAN ALISSON INI..!

Alisson will hope his error at Leicester is just a footnote to first year with Liverpool.

... £67m man's turn showed it can still go wrong despite good start

• Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson made an error in the build-up to Leicester's goal
• His side still managed to win but £67million goalkeeper's moment was huge
• Elsewhere, Joe Gomez managed to impress for the visitors on Saturday 

Spending £67million doesn't get you what it once did. Not even the world's most expensive goalkeeper anymore.

But it really should mean you don't concede unless opposing teams do something pretty good.

Alisson has enjoyed a highly commendable start with Liverpool, imposing an authority between the posts Jurgen Klopp's side has been crying out for.

Alisson tried to turn in the box but was tackled by Kelechi Iheanacho in the build-up to a goal

He tried to recover from his error but Rachid Ghezzal eventually managed to score

Yet the Brazilian was the source of Leicester's goal at the King Power Stadium in a wholly avoidable episode. Inevitably emboldened by the success of his nonchalant chip over an onrushing Anthony Knockaert against Brighton, Alisson tried a Cruyff turn as Kelechi Iheanacho advanced. Except Iheanacho anticipated the move, stole possession, and squared for Rachid Ghezzal to tap in.

Alisson punched the post in anger. Somewhere in Turkey, Loris Karius might have allowed himself a smile.

Amid imperious displays by Virgil Van Dijk and Joe Gomez, this was the first time Liverpool had conceded in the Premier League and it was clumsy and awkward. It invited pressure onto the visitors late in the game as Leicester searched with renewed energy for an equaliser.

Clearly, Alisson's role in Klopp's team is as instigator almost as much as stopper. He is asked to pass out from the back, to in essence add an extra outfield player. There are occupational hazards inherent. 'I take risks,' Alisson said after the Brighton game. 'Fans with heart problems have to be careful! But on the pitch I do not try to make fun of a rival. It is already calculated.'

The Brazilian goalkeeper shows his dejection following Ghezzal's goal on Saturday afternoon

He got his sums wrong against Leicester and the salvation for Liverpool is that they won three points anyway. Rather than those mistakes by Karius that will sadly define his career, this incident will be a footnote in the season come the finish. But it is a reminder of what can go wrong.

On the touchline Klopp swung his arms and pointed towards the top end of the pitch. Go long, he was telling his goalkeeper. It is a very difficult part of the game but Alisson must get the balance right.

In front of him Van Dijk was again superb, but Gomez stood out. The 21-year-old received a deserved call up to Gareth Southgate's England squad and should feature in both matches against Spain and Switzerland.

EPL : CHELSEA 2 - 0 Bournemouth

Maurizio Sarri is the sixth manager to win his first four #PL games in charge, joining five other managers…
Mourinho - 2004 Hiddink - 2009 Ancelotti - 2009 Guardiola - 2016 Shakespeare - 2017

Man of the match: Eden Hazard

It was hard going for Chelsea, but Hazard was their driving force. The Belgium international was typically threatening whenever he got on the ball, driving past challenges and creating spaces for team-mates. He made five key passes (more than any other player) and sealed the win with a clinical finish.

Maurizio Sarri: "This kind of match usually you can win in the last 20-25 minutes. The match was very difficult against a very organised team. They defended very aggressively and the situation was not so easy."
