Atalanta looked more threatening and were rewarded for their perseverance with a fantastic 40-yard banger from Malinovsky. One of the most crucial fixtures of the season started well for…

The Canaries have earned promotion after both Swansea and Brentford failed to win this weekend. First-placed team can now only be denied their third Championship title by Watford, who remain eight points behind. Norwich knew they required just two points out of their last five games, and a win at home against Bournemouth would have been the icing on the cake for Daniel Farke’s side.

However, they have been inconsistent often this season, and Arteta is almost running out of time to address this issue. Still, a 3-0 win away against Sheffield United in their last league outing should…

FC Goa youngster Dheeraj Singh registered his name in the best XI of AFC Champions League match day one, for his superb efforts in the goal against giants Al Rayyan on Wednesday.
