Montenegro fail to overturn UEFA ban following racist abuse of England players during Euro 2020 qualifier

Montenegro fail to overturn UEFA ban following racist abuse of England players during Euro 2020 qualifier

Montenegro’s appeal against playing their next home match behind closed doors after some supporters racially abused England players has been rejected by UEFA.


Raheem Sterling, Danny Rose and Callum Hudson-Odoi were subject to racist taunts by groups of home fans within the Gradski Stadion in Podgorica during the Three Lions’ Euro 2020 qualifying win in March.

Montenegro were subsequently ordered by UEFA to play their June 7 qualifier at home to Kosovo in an empty stadium, and the original ruling has been upheld.


A UEFA statement read: “The appeal lodged by Football Association of Montenegro has been dismissed.”


Sterling celebrated his goal in the game in front of the Montenegrin fans, who were heard directing monkey chants to England’s black players.











Further charges, carrying fines amounting to 20,000 euros (£17,260), were handed down by the governing body to Montenegro for the setting off of fireworks, throwing objects on to the pitch, crowd disturbances and stairways being blocked.

N’Golo Kante: Chelsea midfielder currently has more Premier League goals and assists than Mesut Ozil AND Dele Alli

N’Golo Kante: Chelsea midfielder currently has more Premier League goals and assists than Mesut Ozil AND Dele Alli

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has raised eyebrows over his insistence on playing N’Golo Kante in a more advanced position to the holding role he’s used to.


It looked like a genius move on the opening weekend of the Premier League season when Kante found himself on the scoresheet as Chelsea raced to a 3-0 win at Huddersfield.

However, Kante has not had the same effect this season as he has previously including in the 2016/17 campaign where he bagged the PFA Player of the Year award.


Sarri has decided Jorginho is the best man for the holding role while Kante plays as a No.6 instead, much to the fury of Blues supporters.

But Monday night saw some slight vindication for Sarri’s questionable tactics as Kante scored during Chelsea’s Premier League match at home to Burnley.


And with that, the Frenchman moved above Mesut Ozil and Dele Alli in the combined goals and assists charts in the league this season.


Kante has eight goals and assists (four goals and four assists), while Arsenal man Ozil has seven and Spurs star Alli also has seven.





It was good night in front of goal for Kante but not a good night for Chelsea as they were held to a 2-2 draw at home to Burnley and thus missed the chance to rise to third in the Premier League.

By the end of the season, Kanté had managed 175 tackles (31 more than any other player) and 157 interceptions (15 more than any other player), topping the defensive stats at the end of the 2015-16 Premier League season. Kanté was the only key member of the squad to leave the club in the summer of 2016.

Best Premier League XI outside top six, including Wilfired Zaha and James Maddison

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer warned his Manchester United players other clubs will be looking to chase them next season.


The Red Devils will finish sixth if they fail to better Arsenal’s result on the final day of the 2018/19 campaign.





Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been solid for Crystal Palace this season

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been solid for Crystal Palace this season



Solskjaer said: “You’ve got Leicester, Everton, Watford, probably Newcastle, you’ve got clubs that want to chase us. We have to make sure that we are the ones who chase those ahead of us.


“We have to make sure that we are getting closer and moving that way up the table and not looking over the shoulders because there are big clubs, good clubs wanting to chase that top six.”


So, who are the best players outside of the top six? talkSPORT take a look…















Goalkeeper – Lukasz Fabianski (West Ham)





Lukasz Fabianski has been a revelation at the London Stadium

Lukasz Fabianski has been a revelation at the London Stadium



Fabianski has been an ever-present in Manuel Pellegrini’s side since signing from Swansea last summer. The 34-year-old has been the busiest goalkeeper in the Premier League this season, making 140 saves. He has proven himself as a reliable top-flight No.1 since leaving Arsenal in 2014.


Right-back – Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Crystal Palace)





Aaron Wan-Bissaka is becoming a Premier League star

Aaron Wan-Bissaka is becoming a Premier League star



Wan-Bissaka, who won Crystal Palace’s Player of the Year award, has been one of the most consistent defenders in the Premier League this season.


Not many people would have blamed him for counting himself unlucky after being left out of Gareth Southgate’s England squad in March.


His form has alerted the likes of Manchester United and Manchester City, however, the 21-year-old recently revealed he will be a Crystal Palace player next term.


Centre-back – Harry Maguire (Leicester)





Harry Maguire has had another fine season for Leicester




Getty

Harry Maguire has had another fine season for Leicester



Maguire was one of former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho’s transfer targets last summer.


The towering defender was able to take his 2018 World Cup form with England into this season – and has been a regular fixture at the back for Leicester. Maguire will be crucial to the Foxes’ chances of mounting a top-six push next season.


Centre-back – Conor Coady (Wolves)





Conor Coady has been an ever-present in Wolves’ defence

Conor Coady has been an ever-present in Wolves’ defence



The former Liverpool trainee has been one of Wolves’ standout players in their first season back in the Premier League.


Playing every single minute of the Premier League season so far, Coady has helped them to an impressive seventh-placed finish.


The club captain will be playing Europa League football next season if Manchester City beat Watford in this month’s FA Cup final. Surely an England call-up is on the horizon?


Left-back – Lucas Digne (Everton)





Lucas Digne has a wicked cross on him

Digne has enjoyed a successful debut season in the Premier League, chipping in with four goals and assists each.


He has been part of a watertight Everton defence, which has kept eight clean sheets in ten games.


Only Liverpool (20), Manchester City (20) and Chelsea (15) have had more shutouts than Everton (14) this term.


Right-wing – Richarlison (Everton)





Richarlison is a fans’ favourite at Goodison Park




Getty



13




Richarlison is a fans’ favourite at Goodison Park



Similarly to his team-mate Digne, Richarlison has been one of Everton’s best players this term.


He has scored 14 goals since joining in a £50million deal from Watford last summer. The Brazil international has even been linked with a move to Barcelona following his goalscoring form. The 21-year-old will only get better with years to come.


Central midfield – Abdoulaye Doucoure (Watford)





Abdoulaye Doucoure is a workhorse in Watford’s midfield

Abdoulaye Doucoure is a workhorse in Watford’s midfield



Watford could find it hard to keep Doucoure this summer, especially after the Paris Saint-Germain target admitted he would leave Vicarage Road if the right club came calling.


He has had yet another fine season in the Premier League and is on course to help Watford finish in the top ten.


Central midfield – James Maddison (Leicester)





James Maddison will only get better with time




Getty



13




James Maddison will only get better with time



Signed for £22.5million from Norwich last year, that transfer fee seems like a bargain now. In his first season in the Premier League, Maddison has been directly involved in 14 goals, scoring and assisting seven each.


He has been deployed slightly deeper in midfield since Brendan Rodgers replaced Claude Puel in March, but has still been able to shine. He has been touted as a replacement for Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsey, who will join Juventus on July 1.


Left-wing – Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace)





Wilfried Zaha is constantly linked with a move away from Selhurst Park

Wilfried Zaha is constantly linked with a move away from Selhurst Park



Zaha is having his most lethal top-flight season, netting ten goals for Roy Hodgson’s men.


He has been so crucial to Palace preserving their Premier League status over the past five years. Despite signing a new five-year contract last August, reports claim Arsenal are interested in the winger.


Striker – Raul Jimenez (Wolves)





Raul Jimenez has endeared himself to Wolves fans




Getty

Raul Jimenez has endeared himself to Wolves fans



Wolves paid Benfica £30million to make Jimenez’s loan move permanent last month.


The Mexico international has scored 17 goals and registered seven assists in all competitions. He has arguably been one of the signings of the season. Jimenez has also struck up a deadly strike partnership with Diogo Jota.


Striker – Jamie Vardy (Leicester)





Jamie Vardy is regarded as one of the Premier League’s best strikers

Jamie Vardy is regarded as one of the Premier League’s best strikers



Vardy has scored 18 goals in another prolific top-flight season for Leicester. At the age of 32, he is showing no signs of slowing down. He has netted 11 goals in his last 12 games in what has been an excellent end to the campaign.

Newport 0-1 Tranmere (AET): Connor Jennings heads in late winner to send Rovers to League One

Newport 0-1 Tranmere (AET): Connor Jennings heads in late winner to send Rovers to League One

Connor Jennings scored in the final 90 seconds of extra time to earn Tranmere a 1-0 victory in the League Two play-off final against Newport and seal back-to-back promotions.


The Wembley showpiece was heading to penalties after a scrappy game of few chances, but Jennings headed home to break the deadlock and send Rovers back to the third tier for the first time since 2014.

Connor Jennings was Tranmere’s hero at Wembley


It completes an impressive comeback for Micky Mellon’s side, who won promotion from the National League at this stadium last year.


There was heartbreak for Newport, who played extra time with 10 men after skipper Mark O’Brien was sent off, as they should have been handed an 85th-minute penalty and their wait to play in League One for the first time goes on.


Given that these two sides kept 38 clean sheets in League Two over the course of the season, there was little surprise that goalmouth action was at a premium.


There was a 25-minute wait for what turned out to be the only real moment of danger in the first half.




The match was a hard-fought battle

The match was a hard-fought battle


Tranmere found some space on the right and Jake Caprice picked out James Norwood perfectly, but the striker’s sweet connection from a first-time shot drew an instinctive save out of Joe Day, who palmed the ball away.


It was clear that Norwood was going to be Tranmere’s main threat and he was furious with his team-mate David Perkins for not playing him through on goal before half-time.


The move still ended up with a chance for Norwood, from another Caprice cross, but he headed over and quickly remonstrated with Perkins.


Rovers, who finished two points above their opponents after 46 games of the regular season, dominated the second half but failed to get near to testing Day again, with a poor piece of control from Jennings ruining their best moment.




Mark O’Brien was sent off

Rovers goalkeeper Scott Davies had been a bystander for much of the game, but saved his side in the 73rd minute.


Dan Butler’s cross from the left was allowed to make its way to the back post where Jamille Matt appeared destined to score, but Davies stuck out a left hand and turned and the header onto the post.


Referee Ross Joyce did his best to make an enemy of Newport as he chose not to award what looked a blatant penalty in the 85th minute when Emmanuel Monthe clattered into Matt.




Jennings’ goal was celebrated wildly

He then reduced the Exiles to 10 men in the 89th minute when handing skipper O’Brien a second yellow card after he hauled Norwood down on the halfway line.


The additional period followed much of the same pattern and a penalty shoot-out seemed a certainty.


But in the 119th minute, there was ecstasy for the Tranmere fans as Jennings was left unmarked in the six-yard box and he converted Caprice’s cross to become the hero.
