Guardiola unhappy over penalty taker despite win
Manchester City 2-1 Leeds: Pep Guardiola praises 'exceptional' CityManchester City are four points clear at the top and in control of the Premier League title race, but their manager Pep Guardiola still wasn't happy after his side's 2-1 win over Leeds.Goal machine Erling Haaland and match winner Ilkay Gundogan were the players who felt his wrath with Guardiola reminding them that "this is a business" after seeing a late penalty miss allow Sam Allardyce's side back into the game.Leading 2-0 with six minutes to go, City were cruising towards a 10th-successive victory and were handed a chance to wrap up the points when Phil Foden was fouled in the box.Step forward the deadliest finisher in the land - their prolific 51-goal striker and regular at spot-kicks, Haaland… or so you would think.Instead, Haaland handed the ball to Gundogan, who was on a hat-trick after scoring both of those earlier goals.Gundogan…
‘Shearer should be concerned’ – Kane closer to record
Harry Kane overtook Jimmy Greaves to become Tottenham Hotspur's all-time top scorer in FebruaryOnly Alan Shearer now stands in Harry Kane's way of Premier League history.The Tottenham striker scored his 209th goal in a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday to surpass Manchester United and Everton legend Wayne Rooney and become the outright second-highest goalscorer in the competition.Remarkably, he has reached that tally in just 317 appearances - 174 fewer games than it took Rooney to score 208.Shearer's long-standing record of 260 goals, which has gone untouched since his retirement in 2006, is now in the 29-year-old England captain's sights.Indeed, Palace manager Roy Hodgson, Kane's former England boss, said Shearer needs to be "concerned"."What he has done for Tottenham has been enormous," Hodgson said of Kane, following his side's narrow defeat in north London. "He is still a young man, he still has a lot of football in front…
Liverpool beat Brentford to move point behind Man Utd
Liverpool have taken a maximum 18 points from the past six Premier League games, scoring 17 and conceding sevenMohamed Salah continued his superb scoring form as Liverpool made it six Premier League wins in a row by defeating Brentford to move one point behind Manchester United in the race for the top four.The Egypt forward became the first player in Reds history to score in nine consecutive home appearances, while his winner was his 100th goal for the Reds at Anfield.His 13th-minute attempt was not the most eye-catching goal of his career - Salah bundling the ball over the line from close range after Virgil van Dijk's cushioned header across the six-yard box.But his 30th goal of the season set Jurgen Klopp's side on the way to another crucial win that keeps alive Liverpool's outside hopes of qualifying for next season's Champions League.Liverpool are on 62 points, one behind fourth-placed…
Munster hold firm at Glasgow to reach URC semis
Munster's win was built on an early period of exceptional defenceGlasgow Warriors (0) 5Try: SteynMunster (14) 14Tries: Fekitoa, Frisch Cons: Crowley2Munster turned in a steely defensive display to win at Glasgow Warriors and set up a United Rugby Championship semi-final away to Leinster.Having withstood a whirlwind start from the hosts, Malakai Fekitoa and Antoine Frisch touched down either side of Tom Jordan's red card for a foolish high shot on Connor Murray.Depleted Glasgow met with more ferocious resistance after the interval before Kyle Steyn broke through, but a late yellow card for Sione Tuipulotu snuffed out home hopes.It was kitchen sink stuff at Scotstoun, not pretty but pretty enough for Munster. Downright ugly for Glasgow. It was a huge victory for Graham Rowntree's team, who lost five players to injury, including four for head injury assessments (HIA), a continuation of their recent form on the road in South Africa and…
