By Richard Martin MADRID, March 1 (Reuters) - Real Madrid showed their character by beating Barcelona 2-0 in Sunday's top-of-the-table 'Clasico', leapfrogging their rivals at the La Liga summit after a week in which their pride had taken a beating at home and in Europe. Brazilian teenager Vinicius Jr scored the opener in the 71st minute with a strike that deflected off Gerard Pique, flummoxing goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen who had made some jaw-dropping saves, and substitute Mariano added the second in added time.
He added: "But now I need to be calm for a few days and see what happens. Pochettino led Spurs to four successive top-four finishes and last season's Champions League final, which they lost to Liverpool. But Tottenham struggled for consistency under him this term and were 14th in the table when he was dismissed. He has returned to his native Argentina following his exit from the London club and has been linked with Arsenal and Bayern Munich.
Fabinho has become essential to the way Klopp's side play and there is no real like-for-like replacement for him in the squad. The busy December fixture list also sees the Premier League leaders playing two games in the Club World Cup in Qatar. Liverpool are looking to end a 30 year-wait for an English top-flight title and host Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday before the Merseyside derby against Everton on Dec.
It reinforced the idea of the Premier League as the most compelling competition in the world, which maintained the league's broadcast revenue, which has allowed well-run clubs like Leicester and Wolves to progress through shrewd management and clever recruitment. Liverpool's current untouchable status at the top is largely down to the same factors, and it feels like any post-Big Six era will involve more clubs rather than fewer.
United have won three consecutive league games for the first time since they won all of their first six under Ole Gunnar Solskjær from December 2018 to January 2019. Bournemouth have become only the second side to lose 20 points from leading positions in this season's Premier League, after West Ham (22). This was the first time Manchester United scored five or more goals in a home league match since 26 December 2011, when they beat Wigan Athletic 5-0.

In recent seasons, campaigners have called for standing to be allowed in grounds once again. Rail seating has been developed to provide seats which can also be converted to standing areas.

That season he also scooped he PFA Young Player of the Year and Football Writers' Association Player of the Year awards - making him only the second player to win all three in the same season. Cristiano Ronaldo was the other. Bale scored 31 goals for club and country as he helped Spurs compete for a Champions League spot until the final match of the season.

Odds are much lower at this moment on the guests and for good reasons as they won here with no less than 3-0 last season won 3 of 5 away games this season, and also defeated the hosts here with 5-1 at home last season so they scored 8 times in two games against them and conceded just once.

Sunday's home draw with Aston Villa leaves them 10th, with four wins and 18 points from their opening 14 games. In order to reach the 26 from 17 that wasn't enough to save Mourinho from the sack 12 months ago, Solskjaer needs to win his next three games, which includes Saturday's derby trip to Manchester City. It is true that the popular Norwegian retains support inside and outside the club and that he is committed to picking young players - something Mourinho never convinced about, even if he spoke often about doing it.
Eamonn Salmon, the chief executive of the Football Medicine and Performance Association (FMPA), has told BBC Sport that opinion among doctors and physios at English football clubs regarding resumption plans was varied. Speaking last week, he said: "I guess the views of our members will be a kind of snapshot of society really. There are those who think it can be done, there are those that are doubtful and there are those that probably suggest it is an impossible task.
Our research has shown that heading is rare in youth football matches, so this guidance is a responsible development to our grassroots coaching without impacting the enjoyment that children of all ages take from playing the game. The FA confirmed the updated heading guidance has been produced in line with UEFA's medical committee, which is seeking to publish Europe-wide guidelines later this year.
Preston have also scored 81% of their total goals at home this season, while they’ve conceded just 46% at home. They are a far stronger side at home, which should be a concern given that they returned unbeaten from a double-header of visits to the second and third best home sides in the league. Now they face a challenge from a Reading team who are in awful form on the road, failing to win 27 of their last 30 away trips.
The Danish League has reached the final stages. At this time, the battle to win tickets to the finals, and the ticket to the play-off relegation is quite fierce and attractive. Currently Copenhagen is ranked 2nd on the table with 46 points, less than the top of Midtjylland by 4 points and 18 points from the team outside the Top 6 when the season is only 6 rounds. However, due to the finals of the teams still up, surely Copenhagen still needs to accumulate more points to compete for the championship.Therefore, certainly the guest players will still play the pitch with the highest determination to find victory.

Interclube and Recreativo do Libolo will face to face in this matchday on Saturday. Both teams are run a terrible shape, and follow each other in the rankings. The away team have 4 points clear advantage and they have 1 win out of their last 5 matches, while the home team running one of the longest active winless streak in the championship. Both teams have higher goal per match record than league average. I expect this Girabola fixtures will bring the most goals on Saturday events. The away team won the latest previous meeting on autumn by 1 goal difference. My tip: 2-1 or 1-2.
Lokomotiva Zagreb is making a great season and they have 46 points until now and they are 2 points behind 2nd place Hajduk while Osijek is in 5th place with 42 points and with a win they are in game also for second place and for Europa League places. Also Osijek is a good team with a lot of talented players however I believe here in a strong match with both teams that wants to win but I predict a draw here. Even with a draw Lokomotiva Zagreb will be near the other teams while Osijek with a draw will have chances to fight for a place in Champions League or Europa League.

But Neville was also keenly aware that the worrying recent run of results needs to come to an end soon. I thought the two kids who came on were sensational. Alessia] Russo and Chloe Kelly played without fear and they played with no ego," Neville said. They played with total humility and that was the biggest plus of the second half but apart from that, that second half was nowhere near good enough.
Their chances of accomplishing a win this weekend look pretty good as they come into the match undefeated in their last eight outings and having only failed to score in one of their matches on home soil so far this season. They are also joint top of the form table having claimed an impressive 18 points from their last eight matches, so a further three points this weekend looks to be on the cards.
A former journeyman footballer named Omer Riza could play a key role in the next chapter of Manchester City's bitter and potentially defining legal battle with Uefa over their two-year ban from European club competitions.

AnalysisJohn Bennett, BBC World ServiceOver the years we've come to expect German football success on the pitch but this feels like a victory for their clear, detailed and, above all, collective planning off the pitch. Back on 23 April, DFL president Christian Seifert revealed the league's proposals for matches behind closed doors, collaborating with five laboratories and involving around 20,000 tests and it appears to have impressed the local and national government.
Chennaiyin welcomes Goa in the first match of the semi-finals of the Indian Super League. Chennaiyin finished fourth while GOA finished first with some dominance. GOA is the scoring team of the league and they scored even 48 goals in 18 matches. Corominas has been tremendous for them with 14 goals in 15 matches but they have other options as well. GOA is in a super scoring form and all of their last 5 matches ended over 4.5 goals. Chennaiyin won the league two seasons ago and they look pretty good again. They are without a loss in the last 8 matches but the last loss was to GOA 3:4. I am looking to goals in this one.
But Klopp says he has faith that the youthful side will be able to put in a strong performance against more experienced opponents.
