Earlier, Lys Mousset wasted a glorious chance for the visitors when he fired into the side netting. French forward Mousset also had a goal ruled out for a marginal offside when the game was goalless.

BBC Sport examines the key stats of the weekend. De Bruyne to deliver best yet?"Not since I saw Zinedine Zidane dominate the European Championship final in 2000 have I seen such a complete performance. BBC Sport pundit Garth Crooks summed it up - De Bruyne put in a brilliant display at Emirates Stadium on Sunday as he almost single-handedly destroyed the Gunners.
Real boss Zinedine Zidane added: “He did what he had to do. It was a crude foul but it had to be done at that time.

However, the male athletes serving the national team are disproportionally paid more, according to lawyers representing the group of female players. They claim, for example, that women can earn a maximum $4,950 (£3,858) bonus per friendly game played for the national team, while the men's pay topped $13,000 (£10,132). Literally everyone in the world understands that an argument male players 'have more responsibility' is just plain simple sexism," Molly Levinson, a spokesperson for the players, said in a statement.

Fiorentina are not having the best season so far and in the Serie A they are only on the 14th place. But at home they have only lost 4 games so far this season. In the Coppa Italia they are also a difficult team to defeat at home losing only 3 of the last 20 matches in regular time.
Espanyol have enjoyed plenty of success against Getafe in recent seasons with three wins and a draw from the last four encounters between the teams in Barcelona; however we expect the tide to turn this weekend based on how Pablo Machin's men have performed in the league at RCDE Stadium this term.
And Liverpool's first game, whoever it is against, is not going to be too challenging. So, while much has been made of how they are probably going to play two games out there, I would look at the fact they are all together as a squad, and will be spending most of their time doing warm-weather training. From that point of view, it is a win-win situation. Before they fly off, the most important thing for Liverpool is that they sign off with a victory on Saturday.
The Swans are expected to put some points on the board this week, as they host a Barnsley side who sit in the bottom three.

Every time a new manager comes in, there is a stimulus for everyone inside the dressing room. You notice it immediately,” Setien added.

Until we test them we don't know what works and what doesn't work. Would there be any unforeseen consequences?" Players sometimes deliberately waste time in dead ball situations while their team is ahead, or sometimes level, because they hope the referee will not stop his watch.

United said last Tuesday that Ward had "parted company" with the club. In addition to requesting that call meeting with senior officials, players have asked for a staff member, who is believed to be under furlough, to return to work because they felt they needed someone to speak to as they are losing trust in the club. Ward led Sheffield United to second place in the Women's Championship table - the highest finish in the history of a team formed in 2002.
Chelsea’s struggles to break down defensive lines goes some way to explaining their excellent away record. They have won six of their nine Premier League away matches, scoring a massive 22 goals in the process. We’re expecting this to serve them well on Sunday, and with them scoring two or more goals in six of their nine away matches we think backing Chelsea Over 1.5 Team Goals is a great bet.
Torpedo Zhodino will win this game in order to sustain its position at the top of the league table. It has been playing a very spectacular game since the season started and it won't be wrong if they win this match to push them up on the table. The home side, on the other hand, is also one of a kind, it will try to win this game since it is also at the bottom of the league. Thus, the away team will not give the home team the chance to win this game at all. It will definitely be a win for Torpedo
The local nature of the tie should also add to the spectacle. This all sounds very impressive, until you realise that Mirandes have done this before, and in some regards it might have been even more impressive then. Back in 2012 Mirandes, then a third division club, went on an astonishing run that saw them knock out three top division sides in two-legged ties, Villarreal, Racing Santander and Espanyol, en route to the final four.
Moyes will be desperate to maintain the solid start to his reignited West Ham career, and a good run in the FA Cup would go a long way to dispelling some of the negativity surrounding his re-appointment.
Getty Images TALKING POINT Solskjaer needs new midfield options. With Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay out of action for the foreseeable future, United need their other central midfielders to step up. Fred has at least been doing something along those lines of late and was partially rested, but none of the three fringe players given a chance today - Mata, Nemanja Matic and Andreas Pereira - took it.
Paper Round’s view: A handful of clubs including Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have arranged their own deals with players in order to make sure staff are paid and to make sure their finances are not tipped into chaos, but unless an organised move is made across the league then other clubs could find themselves in desperate trouble and at risk of being stripped by more financially secure clubs.
So I don't know why we come to an England camp or play in an England game and can't possess the ball. Back to basics' and the youthful futureIf Neville continues to struggle to get the best out of his experienced players, he may turn to youth for the future after several new faces impressed in camp in the United States. Lauren Hemp, 19, was excellent in back-to-back starts, while Everton top-scorer Chloe Kelly was particularly bright in her substitute appearance against Spain.
Monday saw them win the first leg away at Cardiff City 2-0 so a place in the final against either Swansea City or Brentford is on the cards.

I hope he doesn't get himself into trouble. I wish he didn't do it, because sometimes it can wind the opposition up, but if he goes and does scores, then you can't argue. He tries to do it in a humorous way and there is no harm in what he does. It causes him more problems than it does the football club. Askey was invited to share a glass of wine with Pep Guardiola after the defeat and said the City boss showed himself to be a "true gent".
The vote was taken at a Premier League shareholders' meeting in London on Thursday. The transfer window was moved to the start of August in England following complaints from clubs and managers that keeping it open after the start of the season was disruptive. It was hoped major leagues across Europe would also bring their own windows forward. However, that did not happen and a number of clubs found themselves in the uncomfortable position of knowing their players were in demand across the continent but unable to bring in replacements for anyone they wanted to sell.

All things considered, backing Both Teams to Score simply has to be the way to play as far as the betting is concerned and is something we're more than happy to do. Both teams have scored in the last 4 meetings between the two, including twice just mere weeks ago and we think that streak will continue via a 1-1 draw; a scoreline reflecting the equal ability of the two outfits.

For players, staff and their families it has been a worrying week — one in which you felt a lack of leadership from the government and from the FA and Premier League. After the emergency meeting, at last the right decision was made. Until then it almost felt like footballers in England were being treated like guinea pigs.
