Football: Wu Lei makes history for China in La Liga

CORNELLA DE LLOBREGAT, Spain (AFP) - Espanyol's Wu Lei became the first Chinese player to score in La Liga on Saturday (March 2) as his goal helped his team to a 3-1 win over Real Valladolid.
Wu, who was named the Chinese Super League's player of the year in November, joined Espanyol in January and was making his fifth appearance for the club at their RCDE Stadium.
Valladolid had threatened a comeback but Wu sealed victory in the 65th minute by breaking in behind and sliding a cool finish into the corner.
The 27-year-old forward has scored 15 goals in 63 appearances for China after making his international debut in 2010.
He is not the first Chinese player to feature in Spain's top flight. Zhang Chengdong took that honour in 2015 when he made his debut for Rayo Vallecano but Zhang never scored for the club.

Christian Eriksen assists: Tottenham playmaker equals Manchester United legend David Beckham’s Premier League record

Christian Eriksen is one of the Premier League’s best midfielders and after his showing against Liverpool on Sunday, it is easy to see why, especially with statistics to back up that point.

While Tottenham may have fell to defeat at Anfield, the Dane, who has been linked with a summer move to Real Madrid, played with his typical class and guile.

2

As Spurs mounted a second-half comeback, Eriksen set about leading the charge and it was he who laid the ball off for Lucas Moura to level the scores on 70 minutes.

That assist propelled the 27-year-old into elite company and meant he became just the second player to create 10 or more Premier League goals in four successive seasons, after former Manchester United midfielder David Beckham did the same between 1997 and 2001.

2

The ex-England captain was famed for his dead-ball prowess and excellent passing, which helped him win six league titles, before leaving Old Trafford for Real Madrid in 2003.

But the question that remains to be answered, is whether Eriksen will do likewise and move to the Spanish capital at the end of the season?

‘Best in the Premier League’ – Eden Hazard scores incredible goal vs West Ham and these Chelsea fans don’t know whether to laugh or cry

Take a bow, Eden Hazard. What a goal that was.

Chelsea’s star player has scored a number of memorable goals in his career, but his first in the 2-0 victory over West Ham is without question up there as one of his best.

2

West Ham were the unfortunate victims of Hazard’s sensational exploits, who pierced through the heart of their midfield and defence to break the deadlock in their Premier League encounter at Stamford Bridge.

The Hammers were holding out Maurizio Sarri’s men out pretty effectively but Hazard decided enough was enough on 24 minutes.

He picked up the ball about 30 yards from goal, breezed past Mark Noble and then jinked inside West Ham centre-backs Fabian Balbuena and Angelo Ogbonna before firing the ball past keeper Lukasz Fabianski.

If you haven’t seen the goal, feast your eyes on this beauty!

It was a truly sensational goal that will no doubt bring a smile to the face of every Chelsea fan.

He added a second in stoppage-time, which was a far more routine finish from the right as Maurizio Sarri’s men rose to third in the Premier League table.

However, Blues fans will also be mindful that this piece of play from Hazard will only reinforce suggestions that he is on his way to LaLiga giants Real Madrid in the summer.

The latest news is that Real will announce the Hazard deal ‘in the coming days’, according to reports in Spain.

2

So the goal actually left a number of Chelsea fans on Twitter feeling rather conflicted as you can see below.

Tottenham news: Mousa Dembele makes fans cry with good luck message ahead of Champions League final

Mousa Dembele may have left Tottenham, but he still has a place in the hearts of everyone associated with the club.

Speaking ahead of the club’s Champions League final against Liverpool, the midfielder posted a message of support to his former team-mates – and left scores of fans in tears!

In arguably the biggest game in their history, Spurs compete in the final for the first time ever, live on talkSPORT.

1

Dembele left the club in January after seven years in north London, to join Chinese club Guangzhou R&F and had played twice for Spurs during the group stages of the competition this season.

Ahead of tonight’s all-English clash, the Belgian midfielder was, unsurprisingly, backing Mauricio Pochettino’s men to overcome the odds once more.

“Hi guys, I just want to wish you guys good luck,” he says in a video on Spurs’ Twitter page.

“Enjoy this and it’s a shame for myself that I’m not there anymore, but I don’t know anyone who deserves this more than you guys to be honest, so enjoy it, go get it and good luck. Love you guys.”

And that was enough to set some supporters off…

Tottenham and Liverpool fans have been warned about criminals posing as stewards in an attempt to steal their Champions League final tickets.

“The Spanish police have seized fake steward bibs, fake devices for the technical ticket check, as well as fake accreditations,” said a statement from European football’s governing body.

“This makes us believe that an organised group of people, impersonating genuine stewards or officials might try to act as if they were conducting the visual or technical ticket check, with the aim of stealing tickets during such controls.

“Supporters should therefore make sure they only show their tickets at the clearly marked check zones and not to individuals or small groups of people who could be wearing fake bibs and might approach them on the way to the stadium, outside of the official check zones.”

Football: Aguero hat-trick fires Man City to 3-1 win over Arsenal

MANCHESTER (REUTERS) - Sergio Aguero's hat-trick led Manchester City to a 3-1 win over Arsenal on Sunday (Feb 3) and back into second place in the Premier League, two points behind leaders Liverpool.
The victory put the pressure on Liverpool ahead of their trip to West Ham United on Monday. Juergen Klopp's side have 61 points, with champions City on 59 and Tottenham Hotspur on 57.
City were utterly dominant after going in 2-1 up at the break, keeping Gunners keeper Bernd Leno busy as they peppered his goal with shots from distance while the Londoners, looking bereft of self-belief, did not manage a shot on target in the second half.
Pep Guardiola's side needed a positive response after Tuesday's surprise defeat at Newcastle United, and within a minute, any nerves among the home crowd vanished.
It took 48 seconds for Aguero to open the scoring with a stooping header after Aymeric Laporte robbed a far-too casual Alex Iwobi and whipped in a cross.
City were dominant but the Gunners got back on level terms in the 11th minute when Nacho Monreal flicked on a Lucas Torreira corner and defender Laurent Koscielny headed in from two yards out.
But with Kevin De Bruyne beginning to put his injury troubles behind him and looking like his true self in midfield and Bernardo Silva teasing Arsenal from the right flank, City looked unperturbed by the equaliser.
It was no surprise when Aguero struck again just before the break, tapping in a low cross from Raheem Sterling, who had combined well with Ilkay Gundogan in the build-up.
De Bruyne forced three saves out of Leno in the opening 10 minutes of the second half before City finally made their dominance count.

RECORD SCORER

City's record scorer wrapped up the win, with Sterling again the provider, but as Aguero slid in to meet his low cross, the ball appeared to go in off his arm - a fact the player conceded after seeing the television replay.
"I thought it was the chest, but now that I've seen it on the TV, I think it was a handball," he said.
"I'm very happy, it is important to score and win… It's important to fight every game. Now we have to think about Everton (on Wednesday) because it will be so difficult," he added.
It was Aguero's 10th hat-trick in the Premier League, a record bettered only by Alan Shearer who scored 11. The Argentine striker has netted 20 goals in all competitions this season - the sixth straight campaign he has reached that tally.
Guardiola believes City now face greater pressure than rivals Liverpool.
"I prefer to be in Liverpool's position rather than where we are," he said.
"The pressure is when you're behind. If you lose points it's tougher. When you're top with distance you can lose points and still be there.
"We didn't recognise our team against Newcastle. Today, at least, we came back," Guardiola added.
Arsenal boss Unai Emery accepted the scoreline reflected the difference in quality between the teams.
"They showed their superiority today. They showed today with the possession against us, getting our defence position very deep.
"The result is the difference between us," he said.

Football: Messi included in Barca squad but Valverde will not take risks

BARCELONA (AFP) - Lionel Messi was named in Barcelona's squad on Tuesday (Feb 5) ahead of their Copa del Rey semi-final against Real Madrid but coach Ernesto Valverde insists he will not take any risks with his captain's fitness.
Messi returned to training on Tuesday before the first leg at the Camp Nou on Wednesday, despite feeling discomfort in his thigh during Barca's draw with Valencia on Sunday.
The Argentinian missed training on Monday but was back with the squad on Tuesday evening.
During the 15 minutes open to the media, a smiling Messi was seen doing some light jogging and taking part in a relaxed keep-ball session.
Shortly before training, Valverde had said in a press conference: "I have not seen him yet and I don't have an answer.
"There is a training session and we will see how he is, whether he can do it and whether he is in the right condition.
"Then we will decide. If he is fit, he will play and if he is not, he will not play."
Valverde added: "It is true that sometimes we have had doubts with players and we have waited until the last moment, and it's the same with Messi."
Barcelona face a testing period of fixtures, including three Clasicos in the next month. The next two will come back-to-back, with the second leg of the Copa del Rey scheduled for Feb 27 before a La Liga fixture on March 2, both at the Santiago Bernabeu.
There will also be two Champions League matches against Lyon to negotiate, as well as tricky league trips to Athletic Bilbao and Sevilla.

VALVERDE CAUTIOUS OVER MESSI FITNESS

Valverde indicated he would be cautious with Messi's fitness.
"I am not very supportive of taking risks when there are so many games ahead," Valverde said.
"If the league ended tomorrow, it would be a different question.

 
"But risking the fitness of any player - Messi or anyone else - I'm not really in favour of it because they inevitably play with some fear, and games like tomorrow cannot be played with fear."
Real Madrid coach Santiago Solari had said earlier on Tuesday that he hoped Messi would be available.
"In football, it's always best that the best players play in every game, that's just how it is," Solari said.
Ousmane Dembele is close to recovering from an ankle injury but the game against Madrid came too soon. The Frenchman took part in training on Tuesday but was still left out of the squad.
Valverde admitted he might have to rotate his line-up given the number of important games coming up.
"The calendar is very complicated," he said.
"It was already complicated in January but with this semi-final at a very high level, more league games, more games in the Champions League knock-out stages, we have to walk a fine line. We are in a decisive part of the season."
Madrid sit eight points adrift of Barcelona in La Liga but have won their last five games in a row in all competitions. They appear a team transformed since the 5-1 defeat by Barca in October.
"Real Madrid usually play well at the Camp Nou," Valverde said.
"In October, they were going through a delicate period but now they are better. We are expecting them at their best."
