62 m. ago Bernabéu erupts as Rüdiger’s late show seals Copa del Rey final spot for Madrid

Real Madrid 4-4 Real Sociedad (agg 5-4)Defender heads dramatic extra-time winnerAt one minute past midnight a self-declared madman sent the Santiago Bernabéu into a state of delirium and Real Madrid into the final of the Copa del Rey. El Loco leapt above the Real Sociedad defence and into the stands at the north end of this stadium, where supporters had seen their team go and do it again, their way. It had been long, it had been wild, and at the end of the night, somehow they were the ones celebrating, which it seems they always are. Madrid did not win and were not always very good until they were irresistible, but it was enough.Three times they had trailed but ultimately a draw, secured by the thumping forehead of Antonio Rüdiger in the 115th minute was enough. A game that went from 0-1 to 1-1, 1-3 to 3-3, and then 3-4 finally finished 4-4 deep into extra time. Continue reading...

At the weekend the lasting image was Ryan Yates haring towards the Nottingham Forest supporters in celebration and here another episode at breakneck speed earned victory. This time the subject was Anthony Elanga, who tore up the City Ground turf, eating up 85m in nine seconds, to score the only goal of the game against his former club and maintain their push to qualify for the Champions League. Diogo Dalot sent a header against the woodwork and the substitute Mason Mount went close on his first appearance since December but, incredibly, the wait for Ruben Amorim’s side to earn back-to-back league wins goes on.“You’re not famous any more,” the Forest supporters sang into six minutes of stoppage time and while that may not quite be true it was another sobering reminder of United’s current state.

3 h. ago Saka’s magic Arsenal return does for Fulham but Gabriel injury casts shadow

The Arsenal fans had come to see Bukayo Saka and when he took off his tracksuit, primed to enter as a 66th-minute substitute, red shirt vividly lighting the scene, it is fair to say there was a reaction.

They were on their way to another victory thanks to a Mikel Merino goal on 37 minutes, the latest return from the club’s makeshift No 9. Continue reading...
