Man City needed victory over relegation-threatened QPR on the final day to edge out rivals Manchester United, who were away at Sunderland, on goal difference. Pablo Zabaleta gave City a first-half lead but, in an atmosphere of near hysteria, QPR equalised through Djibril Cisse then, despite losing Joey Barton to a red card, went ahead through Jamie Mackie. Manchester United were winning at Sunderland and winning the title as the board went up for five minutes of stoppage time.
Here Crouch explains what Pogba brings to the United side, the effect he has on his team-mates, and why it is unfair to always see him as the problem when there are other areas of the team that need sorting out. No Pogba, no creativity' Pogba came off the bench to replace Lingard after 64 minutes at Vicarage Road. Before his introduction, United had managed seven shots at goal, with two ending up on target and only one forcing Watford keeper Ben Foster into a meaningful save.
The Toffees are close to tying up a deal to appoint highly-regarded Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti as their new manager, while Arsenal have made moves to instil former Gunners and Everton midfielder Mikel Arteta as their new boss.
Relive Sheffield United's win over BournemouthStorming entertainment On Wednesday, the Met Office designated the approaching weather front Storm Ciara and serious doubts remained whether the game would go ahead. Sunday's other Premier League match between Manchester City and West Ham was called off, as were all the games in the Women's Super League and Women's Championship, while top-flight encounters in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany were also cancelled.
This trio of games were all played at McDiarmid Park, where the Saints have struggled to find consistency. Tommy Wright's side has picked up just 7 points from 7 games, in part due to their lack of solidity at the back. The Saints have netted an average of 1 goal a game, whilst conceding 2 and keeping a cleansheet in 14% of their home ties.
Inter go to the game placed second with 51 points and AC have 32 points, being eighth in the standings. Inter are unbeaten in their last nine matches and after warming up well for this game with wins over lower placed Udinese and Fiorentina, they will feel prepared for a tougher challenge. Romelu Lukaku is also back to scoring ways, which should have a good feel at Inter.
But it is his consistent record over the course of his five years in charge which means he bears comparison with their finest managers. He has taken charge of 293 games in all competitions, making him fourth in the club's all-time list. Only Bill Nicholson (832), Peter McWilliam (505), and Keith Burkinshaw (431) have been in charge for longer. And only the legendary Nicholson (55) has led them in more European games than Pochettino (53).
Getafe's 37-year-old striker Jorge Molina broke the deadlock by netting on the rebound in the 58th minute and then doubled their advantage in the 67th, waltzing his way past three Valencia defenders before firing home. Molina's strike partner Jaime Mata added a third goal in the 88th minute after Valencia's new signing Alessandro Florenzi had been sent off with a straight red card.
Angers will be eyeing up Nice's away form with great intrigue as they enter this fixture. Le SCO have lost just two of their ten home matches this season, one of which was against second place Marseille, and will be rather confident ahead of this match. They've kept six clean sheets in this time and are actually drawn for the third least goals conceded at home this season.
The interview inside didn't disappoint eitherm with Sterling appearing coy when asked if he would one day like to play for Real Madrid; it was like asking a starry-eyed youngster if he would one day like to play for Manchester United. The difference is that the chances are highly likely that Sterling could do that, and are not merely a pipe dream. I interviewed him two years ago for Football Focus, and asked him what his ambitions were, bearing in mind Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi were about to vacate their positions as the best players in the world.
Just as they did when they went to Anfield in October, Leicester made life difficult for their hosts, but created little and ended up leaving empty-handed. The scoreline would have been more damaging if not for the performance of Schmeichel, who made a series of fine stops against his former club - the pick of the bunch coming when he clawed away a fierce Mahrez strike. Leicester's title challenge is far from over with this defeat - a win over the leaders would quickly regain some of the momentum they lost here and in their home draw with Norwich last weekend.

Rachel Brown-Finnis: Jordan Henderson (6)He arrived at Anfield aged 20 in 2011 with a "work in progress" sign around his neck but he never doubted himself.
Still, the Premier League fared little better. After a bafflingly long week of silence the Premier League issued a confusing statement on Thursday evening saying that they intended for all the weekend’s games to go ahead as planned, with fans. Less than an hour after that, Arsenal confirmed manager Mikel Arteta had tested positive, which forced a dramatic u-turn that led to Friday morning’s announcement.
Accrington is in good form at this moment even winning a home game with Bolton with no less than 7-1 in the league lately as in their last 6 league games they are 4-2-0 at this moment, they have won recently with 1-0 away at Blackpool or 2-0 win at home a few days ago against a decent Burton side, and I trust they should be able to win this one by at least one goal difference in the end as well.
His link-up play was excellent and he finished the match with a brace and the match ball.

Sodra Vings IF is not a comparable competitor to Byttorps IF. The players of Sodra Vings IF are just professional football teams and most of the pillars are anonymous names. Byttorps IF, on the other hand, is a club playing in the Swedish third division.
I actually bet on Rangers to win the game when they hosted Hobro in the league after the restart a few weeks ago and Hobro pretty much scored because of a mistake by one of the Rangers defenders from the penalty spot in the first half and left Randers empty handed with two goals disallowed from Randers because of the offside flag was up and two other big chances for them they could not score back than.
Bristol City have lost three of their last four home league games (W1), with their 0-4 reverse against Brentford their heaviest home league defeat since February 2016 (0-4 vs Brighton). That’s left the hosts coming into this clash on the back of a major setback, while they’ve won just twice in seven home outings in all competitions.
They duly responded with the most convincing display at Stamford Bridge in quite some time, with Hudson-Odoi and James terrorising the Burnley defence down the right flank. Hudson-Odoi was making just his fourth Premier League appearance of the season after suffering a serious Achilles injury last April.
St Pauli had been unbeaten in five league games but that was their tenth league defeat of the season. They have won seven of their home league fixtures this season, with three losses. Only 12 goals have been conceded with two clean sheets in the last three. Their last two home games have both ended in victory and that has stretched their unbeaten home record in the Bundsliga to six matches.
Carroll has made only seven substitute appearances since rejoining Newcastle in the close season due to ankle and groin issues and missed last Saturday's 2-2 draw against Manchester City with a rib problem. Yedlin also missed the match against the defending champions after picking up a hip injury. They're training today and they trained yesterday, so if they don't have any reaction they could be involved tomorrow," Bruce told a news conference.

It is the first top-flight clash between the sides since April 2016 when Watford edged Villa 3-2 at home. Nigel Pearson's Watford won their first home game of the campaign last weekend, beating Manchester United 2-0. Norwich City v Tottenham Hotspur (1730) *Norwich are looking for their first Premier League win over Tottenham since February 2014 when they prevailed 1-0 at home.
Southampton struggled to get a foothold in the game after they were reduced to 10 men when winger Moussa Djenepo made a reckless challenge to get sent off in the 28th minute. Djenepo was initially booked when he caught Isaac Hayden above the ankle but the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) advised referee Graham Scott to take a second look on the pitchside monitor, after which a red card was produced.
Despite Arsenal’s defensive frailties, their front three delivered a display of the highest quality. Martinelli was excellent on the left and made his presence felt with his first Premier League goal, while Pepe’s lively display and fine goal reminded the Arsenal fans why the club paid his £72 million transfer fee in the summer.
I know people are betting on the hosts, but be very very careful, I mean just look at the performances Shakhtar had in the Champions League group stage this season, away from home they drew 1-1 at Manchester City and 3-3 at Dinamo Zagreb and even won 2-1 away at Atalanta, but at home lost 3-0 with both Atalanta and Manchester City while they could only scramble a 2-2 draw with Dinamo Zagreb, so 5 points from away games and just one point at home and no less than 8 goals conceded in 3 games which all of them ended with over 2.5 goals even though they did not score in two of them they ended up conceding 3 times.
I spoke to (Blades manager) Chris Wilder on the difference about the game and today it's massive," Klopp added. The guys ran 13km to win. I can tell them to run less but it's more physical and demanding in every department. We throw football at the people. How many games were there on Boxing Day. All these plus TV come together and speak.

Even though Southampton won lately 2-1 at home in the league against both Watford and Norwich they were just two teams sitting in the relegation zone and besides those two wins they have a record of 0-2-6 in their home games so far this season, so really not a great home side as I remember them losing even with 9-0 at home to Leicester earlier this term.
For him, playing for Wales means more. He says so himself. Already his country's all-time leading goalscorer, the 30-year-old has carried his team through lean spells and repeatedly come to Wales' rescue in their hour of need. And as Wales dragged themselves up the world rankings and a nation started to believe, it was Bale who led the charge to qualify for a first major tournament in 58 years. Euro 2016 was Wales' moment in the sun.
TUESDAY’S BIG STORIES Arsenal ease through with win over Portsmouth This has generally been a season when things haven’t gone to plan, up and down the Premier League and beyond. So, with apologies to Portsmouth fans out there, it was almost reassuring to see a game go entirely to plan, with no alarms, no surprises and the team that was expected to win, actually win.
The Wizards are currently third in the Southeast division of the Eastern Conference. Their 17-31 record has them 16 wins behind divisional leaders Miami Heat and tenth overall in the conference needing to make up four wins on eighth placed Orlando Magic. They have an 11-11 home record and have won six of their last eight, another win looks on the cards here.
Championship clubs are unanimously behind trying to complete the season despite the coronavirus outbreak. All 24 second-tier clubs held a video conference on Tuesday. It followed a similar meeting on Monday when the current top six-placed clubs agreed in their desire to play remaining fixtures, a view supported by at least three other clubs. Leeds United are currently top of the Championship table, a point ahead of West Brom with nine games to play.

Brendan Rodgers, who brought him to the Glasgow side, is already preparing a £30 million bid to sign him for Leicester but could now face competition from the Gunners, who are looking to rebuild their squad this summer, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang unlikely to sign a new contract. Paper Round's view: Arsenal will certainly need to spend big on their front line if Aubameyang is to leave the club and Edouard's goalscoring record in Scotland clearly indicates that he is a forward capable of filling that void up top.
Trinec and Vysehrad will face each other in the upcoming match in the Division 2. Trinec this season have the following results: 6W, 9D and 6L. Meanwhile Vysehrad have 6W, 3D and 12L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Astle family campaign results in researchFollowing Astle's death, his family pushed for research into a possible link between heading footballs and dementia. In 2014, a coroner ruled that the former England forward was killed by CTE - a progressive degeneration of the the brain caused by repeated head trauma - and that it had been caused by heading footballs. Neurosurgeon Dr Willie Stewart added the condition was frequently mistaken for dementia, as happened to Astle when he was incorrectly diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
He believes banning large-scale gatherings, as many cities have done in China, has had a positive effect on containing the virus. Inter were due to play away to Juventus on Sunday, but the game was postponed on the Saturday. They were then offered the chance to play 24 hours later on Monday - with fans being allowed at the game in Juve's Allianz Stadium - a suggestion which was emphatically rejected by Zhang.
Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk also acknowledged that his side could have delivered more, saying: "We want to analyse the game and be much better, but three points is massive, especially here. We play Spurs who are a good side. They were in the Champions League final and that must still hurt for them and they will want to bounce back.
