BPL : Leicester 5-3 Man Utd | MC 1-1 Chelsea

Leicester 5-3 Man Utd   |   MC 1-1 Chelsea

 While Louis Van Gaal might now extend special privileges to Angel di Maria as well as Wayne Rooney, Manchester United's manager needs to impose some special measures at the other end of the field after this. United were magnificent going forward, with Di Maria marking another masterclass in attacking football with a quite outrageous first-half goal that suggested that, like Rooney, he should be guaranteed a place in Van Gaal's side. But Van Gaal also had to endure a defensive performance that served as another reminder of the challenge still facing the Dutchman.
Andre Schurrle put Chelsea in front in the second half after Pablo Zabaleta was sent off just minutes earlier for the hosts. But Frank Lampard scored an equaliser for City with just minutes to go. Meanwhile in the day's other 4pm kick-off, EVERTON host CRYSTAL PALACE at Goodison Park hoping to keep up their push for a place in Europe's premier competition next term. But the unfancied visitors have stormed into a big lead.

• Mesut Ozil slots Arsenal's first goal past Brad Guzan from Danny Welbeck's pass
• Ozil sets up Welbeck 60 seconds later for England striker's first goal for Arsenal

Ole Gunnar tinggalkan Cardiff

KUALA LUMPUR - Jodoh Ole Gunnar Solskjaer bersama Cardiff City ternyata tidak lama apabila dia meletakkan jawatan selaku pengurus dan tempatnya bakal dikendalikan sementara waktu oleh Danny Gabbidon dan Scott Young.

Menurut Ole Gunnar, dia terpaksa meninggalkan kelab itu setelah mengadakan beberapa siri perbincangan dan merasakan itu keputusan terbaik perlu dilakukan demi kariernya serta masa depan kelab.

"Saya meninggalkan Cardiff dengan ramai pemain berbakat dan mahu berterima kasih kepada pemilik kelab, Vincent Tan yang memberikan saya peluang untuk berada di sini.

"Berat hati saya mahu meninggalkan kelab ini namun akibat terdapat perbezaan falsafah dalam cara menguruskan pasukan bola sepak maka saya terpaksa mengambil keputusan ini serta mengikut cara Vincent mahukan," katanya dalam kenyataan media Cardiff City yang diemel semalam.

Sementara itu, Tan Sri Vincent Tan berkata, dia terpaksa melepaskan Ole Gunnar selepas melihat permulaan yang buruk dan kurang yakin pengurus dari Norway itu mampu membawa Cardiff untuk naik semula ke Liga Perdana Inggeris(EPL).

"Saya membawa Ole Gunnar kerana yakin dengan kemampuannya untuk membawa Cardiff berjuang menyelamatkan diri daripada zon penyingkiran tetapi itu tidak berlaku.

"Ramai orang menasihatkan saya agar memecatnya selepas kami tersingkir ke Liga Kejuaraan namun saya mahu memberikan dia peluang namun jelas beberapa keputusan perlawanan awal liga tidak begitu memberangsangkan," katanya dalam kenyataan akhbar yang sama.
