| Schalke hold Bayern Munich to draw despite Robert Lewandowski goal Posted: 30 Aug 2014 12:22 PM PDT Last seasons Bundesliga top scorer, Robert Lewandowski, scored his first competitive goal for Bayern Munich but the champions had to settle for a 1-1 draw at Schalke on Saturday. Despite having Xabi Alonso in the Bayern team 24 hours after he joined on a two-year deal from Real Madrid, they looked far from their best as Schalke got their first point to snap a two-game losing run with a gutsy second-half performance.

| Chelseas Diego Costa seals win over Everton in nine-goal thriller Posted: 30 Aug 2014 12:11 PM PDT Saturday Clockwatch as it happened Martínez unhappy at Diego Costas taunts It was a scoreline that felt like a throwback to the era when football was watched in black and white and by the end of a wild, eccentric game Chelsea had emerged with an immaculate record to the new season and maybe, at the back of his mind, José Mourinho remembered the days when he used to say results like this belonged to hockey rather than football. That period in the second half when the two sides shared five goals in 10 minutes certainly did not feel like the orthodox Mourinho experience. It incorporated a goal from Samuel Etoo against his former club and, in brief passages, the gathering sense that Chelsea were straying dangerously close to being caught by persistent opponents. Instead, it ended up as a rout, with Diego Costa at the heart of it and ironic cries of boring, boring Chelsea from the away end. Continue reading... |
| The Agenda: Justin Gatlin to give Diamond League a final flourish Posted: 30 Aug 2014 12:00 PM PDT The Diamond League brings the athletics season to a conclusion, while Carl Frampton goes at it again with Kiko Martínez for boxings IBF super bantamweight title Continue reading...  |
| Manchester City and Chelsea show way to flustered opponents on deadline day Posted: 30 Aug 2014 12:00 PM PDT The biggest satisfaction on Monday night will probably be felt by those clubs that have long since got their major business done It probably says everything about the place transfer deadline day has in modern sport that for the past year the National Football Museum has been displaying a yellow tie in the same glass cabinet as one of John Motsons sheepskins and the old Spitting Image puppet of Gary Lineker. It belongs to Jim White, the Sky Sports presenter who is now so synonymous with the first day of September the cameras actually follow him from his car and through the air-conditioned corridors to begin his shift, wearing the important look of a prime minister who has just cut short his holiday to take care of some urgent business. A symbol of one of the biggest days in the football calendar, Kevin Moore, the museum director, said on the historic day that yellow piece of cloth was handed over. This part of the year certainly makes strangely addictive viewing even if it is difficult to think that anything on Monday will ever trump that night, six years ago, when the Abu Dhabi United Group took control at Manchester City and introduced themselves by spraying out big-money offers for just about every superstar footballer who might be available including, as mentioned here before, a £30m bid for Lionel Messi in one of the classic Garry Cook moments (after a comment about its getting messy was misheard on a telephone line from Abu Dhabi and Manchester and somehow became lets get Messi).

| Scottish roundup: Mickael Antoine-Curier has County in spot of bother Posted: 30 Aug 2014 11:06 AM PDT Accies collect fourth league win of the Premiership season Hearts maintain 100% record in the Championship Match report: Inverness stay top by beating Kilmarnock Roundup Second-half strikes from Nicky Low and Niall McGinn helped Aberdeen to a comfortable victory over Partick Thistle as they recorded their first home league win of the season. Low struck the opening goal shortly after the half-time interval and McGinn curled a fine shot into the far corner of the net after 66 minutes to seal victory. Continue reading... |
| Fulham claim much-needed point after dominating against Cardiff City Posted: 30 Aug 2014 10:07 AM PDT Saturday Clockwatch as it happened Fulhams search for a first league win of the season goes on but here was evidence that, contrary to what Mohamed Al Fayed thinks, Felix Magath does know what he is doing. The hosts were impressive against a side also reeling from Premier League relegation and, having taken the lead, looked set for three points. A draw means Fulham are at least off the mark and off the bottom of the Championship. The manager, compared to Felix the Cat by Fayed, Fulhams former owner, last week in an exchange of words that was as bizarre as it was heated, deserves credit. Under pressure after they had lost their opening four fixtures, he clearly had them focused on the job in hand. Buoyed, no doubt, by their midweek victory over Brentford in the Capital One Cup, Fulham struck through Tim Hooglands 22nd-minute header and continued to press forward even after Kenwyne Jones secured an equaliser out of nowhere in the second half. Continue reading... |
| Manchester Uniteds Louis van Gaal pleads for belief after Burnley draw Posted: 30 Aug 2014 09:59 AM PDT I can see progress, but United have to win, says manager Burnleys Sean Dyche: We are holding our own at this level Match report: Burnley 0-0 Manchester United Even as Daley Blind flew into Manchester to complete a medical for his proposed £14m transfer from Ajax, bookmakers were slashing their odds on Louis van Gaal still being in charge at Old Trafford by the end of the season following another winless afternoon at Burnley. Manchester Uniteds new manager admitted after his sides goalless draw that two points from a possible nine was not good enough and, though a member of Hollands World Cup squad should be a useful acquisition following the signings of Marcos Rojo and Ángel di María of Argentina, Van Gaal accepted his team looked anything but world class at the moment.

| Greg Tanseys thunderbolt beats Kilmarnock and keeps Inverness top Posted: 30 Aug 2014 09:54 AM PDT Scottish roundup: Antoine-Curier has County in spot of bother Aaron Doran and Greg Tansey combined to maintain Invernesss position as leaders of the Scottish Premiership after a 2-0 win over Kilmarnock. A largely dour game sparked to life with Dorans breakaway goal and a thunderbolt of a strike from Tansey, which went in via a combination of the post and goalkeeper Craig Samson, to keep Inverness unbeaten. Continue reading... |
| Nottingham Forest beat Sheffield Wednesday but Pearce wants more Posted: 30 Aug 2014 09:51 AM PDT Saturday Clockwatch as it happened Nottingham Forests impressive start to the campaign continued as they battled to a 1-0 victory at Sheffield Wednesday, but their manager, Stuart Pearce, wants more from his side. Pearces reign at the City Ground could not have begun better as they lead the Championship table after four wins from five games, the latest courtesy of Henri Lansburys first-half header at Hillsborough. Continue reading... |
| Wolves Nouha Dicko and Bakary Sako combine to sink Blackburn Rovers Posted: 30 Aug 2014 09:33 AM PDT Wolves 3-1 Blackburn Rovers Dicko 13, Sako 33 68; Rhodes 59pen The impressive attacking duo of Nouha Dicko and Bakary Sako combined to ensure that Wolves celebrated 125 years of league football at Molineux in style with a 3-1 win over Blackburn Rovers. Dicko opened the scoring before Sako helped himself to a double as Kenny Jacketts side collected their fourth win from five games in the match the club had earmarked to commemorate the landmark. Jordan Rhodes gave Blackburn a lifeline from the penalty spot, but his side could not build on that with Sako sealing his brace to sentence Blackburn to a second defeat in three games.

| Ángel di Marías strong debut cannot mask Manchester Uniteds depth issues Posted: 30 Aug 2014 09:27 AM PDT The record British signing played well at Turf Moor, but his substitution proved that areas of the squad are still threadbare Turf Moor match report: Burnley 0-0 Manchester United Perhaps the most memorable moment of Ángel di Marías Manchester United debut came on 69 minutes. When the digital board went up to show his No7, it was Anderson who entered as the substitute to replace the clubs headline signing. The incongruity of taking off the £59.7m British transfer record holder a precautionary measure after he was kicked on the calf, said Louis van Gaal for a player United are desperate to offload was fitting. This is the territory the 20-times champions currently occupy. Continue reading... |
| QPR get off the mark as Charlie Austins goal sees off Sunderland Posted: 30 Aug 2014 09:26 AM PDT Saturday Clockwatch as it happened Such was the sense of reality-biting expectation around Loftus Road, after a complex start to the season, most of the pre-match talk around the ground was bleak: never mind a win or a draw, even a goal would do as something to cling to. Not only did a tense encounter deliver that all-important goal, Charlie Austins strike was enough to secure a precious three points to help relaunch QPRs campaign. It was Austins first in the Premier League, the culmination of a Rickie Lambert-esque clamber up the football ladder from non-league to the elite division. Having been released by Reading as a teenager, striker spent two years further down the pyramid, before beginning the serious stages of his climb. Continue reading... |
