Zaha went from the sublime to the mundane moments later when, having played Mitchell in behind Max Aarons only for the Norwich right-back to clip his teammate across the back of the heels, he stepped up and skewed the ensuing penalty horribly wide. While he indicated that he had slipped, it looked like a miscue as much as anything.
Selection: [Allan Saint-Maximin] is exciting. I like him. He’s not as good as [David] Ginola, but that sort of thing. He gets people excited, but he has to be consistent. Some weeks he carries the team on his own but he doesn’t score enough for me, he doesn’t create enough for what he is. He has to improve on that but I’d definitely keep him in.”

None of this happened overnight. It's the result of 25 years of work, Senna explained. It's no exaggeration to say Villarreal were lucky to find Fernando [Roig], a great businessman who wanted to bring new ideas and create our own philosophy. We could go beyond and do some mad business in the transfer market, but that's not us.
Lewandowski’s weight of goals have catapulted the Poland star into the conversation - and historically it is attacking players who often win the prize.
This is an uncomfortable dynamic. Let's say it's true that the biggest difference was Inter's lack of a top-class line-leading attacker. They had one in Romelu Lukaku: they were able to pick him up because a member of the Premier League elite couldn't get him firing, and as soon as he started looking great again, a member of the Premier League elite bought him for an unarguable amount of money. Inter replaced him with Džeko, a guy the Premier League elite was done with in 2015. Off the bench last night came Alexis Sánchez, a guy the Premier League elite was done with in 2019.

Chelsea opted against paying his €80m (£68m/$95m) release clause, with the Spanish manager telling Diario de Sevilla: Kounde, in the end, has stayed because the club has decided that it was the right thing to do based on the evaluation of the offers they may have had.

Haaland, who had to be taken off injured in the 63rd minute, has scored 16 times in the league this season.
Everyone else who has a full squad, with everybody in training, has the strength to come through this [period]. We would be stupid to think we can do it too [because of our problems with] Covid-19 and injuries.
Our defensive organisation, our attacking organisation, set pieces, and what happens in transition when we win the ball and when we lose the ball.
