That defence lost a man when German Sanchez was shown a second yellow in the 69th minute for a foul on Messi, and seven minutes later Barcelona were ahead. The home side persisted with the tactic of going through the middle as the Argentine linked up with Antoine Griezmann; he found Arturo Vidal, whose drag-back teed up Messi to stroke home. It was a moment of vintage Barcelona, and the win puts them back on top of La Liga - ahead of Real Madrid on goal difference.

Top league scorer: Franco Di Santo (7). Other key men: Gary Caldwell, Victor Moses, Shaun Maloney. With nine games left, Wigan were only three points from safety. But this survival act was about the volume of points and the quality of the opposition. After one win in 14, check out Wigan's next three away games - Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal. They also had to face leaders Manchester United. It was all hands up to the pump - and Roberto Martinez's side had eight different scorers in their last nine games.
Cardiff City's appeal against paying the first instalment of 6m euros (£5. Nantes for £15m striker Emiliano Sala is set for next spring. The appeal will be heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne, Switzerland. Cardiff do not believe they are liable for a transfer fee, but Fifa ruled in September the club must pay for Sala. The Argentine, who was 28, died in a plane crash in January while travelling from France to join his new club.
He was linked with the vacant manager jobs at both Arsenal and Everton, before the roles were filled by Mikel Arteta and Carlo Ancelotti. I love the Premier League. I love the English fans, I think it is one of the best leagues in the world - and I think for any manager it is so exciting to be involved in the Premier League," said Pochettino. We will see. There is not only Premier League, there are different leagues in the world, different clubs that can be exciting, to give you a challenge that is maybe different.

Centre back Eric Bailly's recovery from a long-term knee injury means Rojo has fallen further down United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's pecking order. Rojo's departure leaves United with four fit central defenders - Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Bailly and Phil Jones - with the injured Axel Tuanzebe not expected to return from the sidelines until after the mid-season break next month.
Their home form is responsible for their sixth place in the Belarus Premier League, but face a tough examination from third-placed Energetik. Isloch have 16 points from their nine league games but every single one of them has come from home games. Six have been played on home soil with five wins and one loss.
Kelty Hearts crowned champions as Lowland League season calledEdinburgh City call for league reconstructionWhy can't clubs be given their money?A key cornerstone of Rangers' whole resolution that was deemed not competent by the SPFL. Rangers were calling for funds to be made available to clubs without calling the league now. The league insisted this could not be done until final placings were decided.
Manchester City did not have an easy life when they met Manchester United on Etihad and I think things might be the same here. But considering the form of the two sides home and away, respectively, I think City will win in this one without too much problems.

Considering leaders France have gone on to win their next two games as well, it's not as bad a defeat as was thought at the time. England have bounced back with an away win in Scotland and then a home win over Ireland. They will aim to try and win their final two games against Wales and Italy (whenever that is played) and hope France slip up in their final two matches.
The Robins have reignited their hopes of securing a playoff spot this season, but they need to find some consistency. They do end to pick up results in spells, so they will be hoping that their latest victory is the start of another strong run of form to kick off the New Year.
Wolves have already shown that last season was no fluke, and their ability to successfully juggle continental and domestic responsibilities has added a new dimension to a club with an ever growing reputation.
I expect an efficient match here. Smolevichy STI have improved in the last two rounds. After two defeats - an 1:0 loss to Isloch Minsk, followed by a 1:0 loss at home to Vitebsk - they played two draws in the last two rounds. The match with Shakhtyor Soligorsk ended with a goalless draw, while in last round they have shared the points with Belshina playing an 1:1 draw. Dinamo Minsk, meanwhile, have two wins on the last three matches. They beat Neman Grodno and Torpedo Zhodino with 2:0 each. Dinamo have only six points and they will go for the victory here. Considering these reasons, I expect an efficient match with at least three goals.
Waalwijk did not escape the crash at Alkmaar's home (4-0 defeat). He entered the match aggressively and risked. It is very difficult now for Fred Crim's team to be in last place. In order to have realistic hopes of staying, he has to win tonight.
Spurs will claim, with justification, they should have had a throw-in before the goal but Liverpool are now being propelled with growing momentum to end that long wait to reclaim their old domestic supremacy. Spurs lack killer instinct The root of Spurs' downfall came in two distinct aspects of their performance - albeit they did get better as this game wore on. In the first half, Spurs were far too passive and negative as they sat back, presumably waiting for an opportunity to strike on the counter attack.
The 24-year-old is set to sign a three-and-a-half year contract at the north London club, as Spurs pay an initial fee of £23. Serie A side for a player they signed for £30 million just last January. Paper Round's view: Piatek can score goals. He proved this last season when he bagged 19 goals in 21 appearances for Genoa before making his January move to Milan.

Lazio haven't looked as convincing as they had in recent weeks but even the best teams are entitled to a wobble. This Lazio team can certainly be classed as one of the top teams in the division, especially at home. Only Juventus can boast a better record on their own patch than Simone Inzaghi's team. Back them to beat SPAL by at least two clear goals.
Quilmes and Atletico Rafaela will face to face in the 19th match day in the second tier, Argentina. The home team won only one clash out of last 5 matches and they haven't won their last 5 home duels in a row against Atletico. The home team defense are weak, they conceded at least one goal 11 times. The away team stands first half of the table, although they lost twice in a row. On these games got a red card. Blondel and Perez going to miss a championship match. Rafaela have 6-6-6 record and 22-22 goal difference, but the away record is really bad. Only one win and negative goal difference of course.
Substitute keeper Adrian saved his side by keeping out Mooy as mid-table Brighton piled forward in search of an equaliser. The Reds had looked like coasting to victory after Van Dijk's double, and Brighton keeper Mat Ryan made three fine saves to frustrate Roberto Firmino, twice, and Mohamed Salah. Liverpool head into a demanding December, a month which will see the club play nine fixtures in four different competitions, with a fifth successive league win - but this was far too close for comfort.
Strasbourg have been fairly poor on the road this season, their last match being a perfect example of this, but at the Stade de la Meinau they have been a completely different team with confident performances wowing their home fans. They've won four of their last five matches in the east of France with tough teams like Nice (1-0), Montpellier (1-0 and Nantes (2-1) being brushed aside. They've lost just two of their eleven home games this season (three of these came in their Europa League qualifiers) with them averaging 1.72 goals scored and 0.81 goals conceded in this time.
The home team's performance is quite good, when the last 5 matches they won 3 wins and 2 losses. Lille had difficulty in securing the ticket to attend the European arena next season. Specifically, they have received the last 2 defeats against Monaco and Paris Saint Germain. That achievement led the landlord to fall to the fourth position in the rankings, if they continue this situation, they will be eliminated from the top 4, so Lille does not allow them to lose. Meanwhile, the performance of the guests is very bad in recent times when the last 5 matches they have failed 5 games in a row.
Nevertheless, the hosts put on a classy display in what was manager Hayes' 200th game in charge.

Liverpool were losing 1-0 as the game edged into added time only for Mane to set up the leveller for Andy Robertson and score the winner. And that encompassed his importance to Liverpool, not only a goalscorer but an excellent creator and provider with a superb understanding of space and weight of pass.
No one can doubt his professionalism, his willingness or his desire to play football. He's one of the best midfielders in the world and it'll be like signing a new player before the transfer window opens. He's stepping up his recovery and let's see how soon he'll be match-fit and available. Midfielder Scott McTominay could also return against Villa after missing United's last two games with an ankle injury and the Norwegian boss said that would allow Pogba to play in a more advanced role when he returned to the side.
The result lifted Lyon five places to fifth in the standings on 40 points from 27 games while St Etienne stayed 16th on 29 points, two points above the relegation zone. Dembele put the home side ahead with a glancing header in the 27th minute after Lucas Tousart floated over a free kick from the left and sealed the win with a stoppage time penalty.
It's the game of Costa Rica. The host is in poor condition. They occupy the 12 places with a total of 13 points. In the last 5 games, 4 losses and 1 draw. The guests are also in very poor condition. They occupy 8 places with a total of 23 points.
Ryan Christie fizzed one from distance narrowly wide before a sensational move released Patryk Klimala through on goal. He looked certain to score on his first start but Mitchell raced from his line to produce a magnificent save. The crucial second arrived when Ntcham did well to force a corner. Klimala managed to flick it towards the front post where captain Brown outmuscled his opponent to poke home.
In terms of our correct score tip, we think that there is going to be very little to separate these two sides. The hosts have a healthy average of 2.08 goals per game at home but have only managed to score more than once on a single occasion in their last six outings. With the visitors averaging 1.15 goals per game and conceding 1.31 goals per game on the road, a 1-1 draw appears to be the most likely outcome.
Frank Lampard faces one of his toughest tests as his Chelsea side host Bayern Munich. His team is inconsistent and tends to let in too many goals including six at home in the group stages. They take on a high-scoring Bayern side who walked away with their group and are top of the Bundesliga. Go for an away victory in this game.
