Forest cottoned on to the 34-year-old's influence, always ensuring he was tracked and denied space in deep areas. Rooney was unable to instigate attacks, while Forest's holding midfielders Samba Sow and Ben Watson also condensed the defensive space and prevented Duane Holmes, Jason Knight and - crucially - teenager Louie Sibley from making an impact. Forest were able to get numbers back and rely on the solid defensive shape which has served them so well this season and rarely looked troubled after going ahead.

Even though it's not in my country I think this touches everyone.

It’s a huge deal having a team from the Segunda Division in the last four of the Copa del Rey. Spanish football expert and co-host of the Spanish Football Podcast Phil Kitromilides tells Eurosport. It is an atypical Copa del Rey because of the format which has helped produce plenty of shocks.

However, the Saints’ home form has been a real problem this season, epitomised by their 9-0 humiliation at the hands of Leicester in October. They have won just two Premier League home games, and these both came against teams struggling at the bottom of the table (Norwich and Watford). They may be improving, but they still couldn’t stop 17th placed West Ham taking three points off them in their last home match.
A prediction? Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will insist United have enough strength from within, Spurs will sign Bergwijn, and Chelsea will fail with a mad deadline-day scramble for Dembele and settle for Piatek.

GOAL! Atalanta 2-0 Valencia (Ilicic scores) - What a fabulous strike! We questioned the exclusion of Duvan Zapata, but why bother when Josip Illicic can do something like that?

This is new duel where I will bet on goals and that is pretty good option. So, this is league where new season is started, as I remember, two weeks ago, and I hope that they will be on level like they are played in last season. When I said that, I mean on fact that Ahal and their today's rival - Altyn Asyr are rivals who are playing all the time efficient and with plenty of goals and probably they will continue and this time on that level. In last two matches, this rivals are played 2-1 and 3-1, so over is real.
SAVE! Maybe not game over just yet. Lanzini sets up Robert Snodgrass on the edge of the box but his fierce shot is well tipped around the post by Alisson. POST!

Stoke have improved since Michael O'Neill took over but are still inconsistent. The Potters have a good home record but Millwall can escape defeat this weekend. Go for a double chance bet on Millwall to win or draw this game.
However, against Aston Villa - and games don't get much bigger than Wembley cup finals - I thought Foden played brilliantly. The discipline he showed throughout the match and the way he constantly held his position, and the team their shape, indicated that here is a real team player. It was Foden's ball back across the box that provided the opening for Sergio Aguero to score. For Foden to start and finish such a high-profile game suggests he is growing fast and winning Pep Guardiola's trust.
She went on loan to Liverpool and she was like a different player when she came back. She has every element you want as a striker. She can hold the ball up, she is strong, she is quick and her finishing has improved loads. To do it for Chelsea and have the confidence to keep doing it when someone like Sam Kerr joined in January. Some players can crumble at that pressure. And I still think there is a lot more to come.

A continuation of their current 2. Posh bag 100 league goals this season and surely see them secure a return to the Championship after a seven-year absence, having been relegated in 2012-13 despite earning 54 points. We're happy hogging the goals, but if others chip in it's obviously great," said former Newcastle striker Toney. We just want to score as many goals as we can, all three of us, and I'm sure if we all come off the pitch and none of us have scored we're going to be angry.
I've been training very hard to get this chance and today I stepped up and took my opportunity - it was a great game and a great victory. View more on twitterGilmour shines as Chelsea knock out LiverpoolWhat his manager & team-mates saidGilmour, a former Rangers youth player, was only promoted to the Chelsea first-team squad three weeks ago, having played six times for the club so far. Pre-match, Chelsea boss Lampard said it was a "comfortable choice" to select him for such a big game, and he was proved correct as the diminutive, boyish-looking Scot stood out among men.
I will just try to do small building blocks and try to change things in a slow tempo, so hopefully we can understand it and practice it. But right now we have players who need to recover and we probably only get one and a half (training sessions) again before the next game. That's football, for me I just try to make it as simple as possible for the players and hopefully we can get better.
