Mircea Lucescu s Shakhtar Donetsk booked a spot in the quarter-finals of the Europa League after Eduardo s late goal sealed a 1-0 win at Anderlecht, putting the gloss on a 4-1 aggregate triumph.
The Ukrainians had Oleksandr Kucher sent off six minutes from time, but had always looked comfortable sitting on their lead and Kara Mbodji was given his marching orders soon after to level the scores on that front.
Anderlecht had the ball in the net after 22 minutes, but Mbodji s header was ruled out for a push on Facundo Ferreyra.
Stefano Okaka could have had a penalty after the interval when he was bundled over by Ferreyra, but the referee again ruled against the Belgian team.
Kucher and Mbodji were sent off in the closing stages before Eduardo tidily …

Union Berlin are believed to be interested in signing Robin Gosens from Inter Milan. The initial claim of that interest came from Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, but it has since been confirmed for Sky in Germany by Florian Plettenberg.
Union surprised many in 2022/23, finishing the season in fourth place in the Bundesliga table and qualifying for the Champions League next term. It is understandable for them to be seeking for high-quality reinforcements with participation in UEFA s elite competition on the horizon, and targeting players who have strong competition for their respective roles at current clubs certainly makes sense. Gosens is such a player, sharing the left wing-back responsibilities at Inter with Federico Dimarco.
However, the 28-year-old is believed…
Arsenal are interested in signing Mehdi Taremi from FC Porto in the January transfer window, according to . The report has claimed that the Gunners are looking at signing the 30-year-old Ian international striker as a back-up to Brazil international star Gabriel Jesus, and that Porto are willing to sell him in the middle of the season.

The 30-year-old striker has scored five goals and created four assists in nine Liga Portugal matches so far this season. Taremi has also given two assists in two UEFA Champions League games so far this campaign.

Simply looking to make another Champions League statement on Tuesday night, Manchester City will welcome RB Leipzig to the Etihad.
Manchester City
Starting with the hosts, left frustrated over the weekend as they eventually had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate at home against historic rivals Liverpool, Manchester City will be excited to turn their attention back to Champions League duties here. Making real history last season as they became the first English club since 1999 to be crowned treble champions, Pep Guardiola’s superstar squad have their sights firmly set on embarking on another European romp this season. Already breezing their way to the knockout stage and winning each of their four Group G appearances by an aggregate score o…
Liverpool s youngest-ever team was no match for Aston Villa in the EFL Cup on Tuesday, as Dean Smith s side ran out comfortable 5-0 winners to book their place in the semi-finals.
The Reds had to name an entire squad made up of reserves and youngsters due to the first team being in Qatar for the Club World Cup, and Villa ultimately made light work of their visitors, who named an XI with an average age of 19 years and 182 days.
Under the guidance of Under-23s coach Neil Critchley, Liverpool started the encounter with purpose and could have taken an early lead, but Villa made the most of the let-offs and blew the Reds away, going into half-time four up thanks to Conor Hourihane, a Morgan Boyes own goal and a Jonathan Kodjia brace.
While Liverpool had conceded four …
UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin says the remaining Super League clubs Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus could yet face sanctions, also insisting they are free to form their own competition if they give up their places in the Champions League.
Madrid, Barcelona, and Juventus were the only three founding clubs not to renounce their backing for the widely derided Super League after the breakaway project s collapse in April 2021.
Last month, a Madrid court lifted precautionary measures preventing UEFA from punishing the trio, who have continued to voice their backing for a new competition – to be governed by its founding clubs – despite the withdrawals of the other nine founding members.
Speaking to AS, Ceferin hinted sanctions against the trio could be on…
Peru kept their World Cup qualifying hopes alive with an impressive 2-1 victory against slumping Uruguay on Tuesday.
Barcelona star Luis Suarez returned from suspension but not even his presence for Uruguay in Lima could prevent a third consecutive qualifying defeat.
Uruguay made a dream start through Carlos Sanchez in the 30th minute but it went downhill from there as Paolo Guerrero restored parity four minutes later before Edison Flores completed the comeback just past the hour-mark against the struggling visitors.
Substitute Jonathan Urretaviscaya saw red with a quarter of an hour remaining in a forgettable international debut to compound Uruguay s woes.
Uruguay remain third in the CONMEBOL standings, 10 points adrift of Brazil, while Peru are sevent…
According to a recent report from Correire dello Sport, Juventus have made contact with the agent of Manchester United star Tahith Chong ahead of a potential deal involving the youngster. The Dutchman’s contract with United is set to come to an end following the conclusion of the current campaign, and Juventus want to strike while the iron is hot.
United will obviously be hoping to extend his deal but if Juventus come in with the right amount of money, then they’d be foolish not to at least consider the deal in some way, shape or form.
Chong has been one of the few stars in an otherwise questionable start to the season at Old Trafford, with the belief being that he can continue to thrive in an even stronger team – and Juventus certainly seem to qualify und…
Florin Andone was the hero against Huddersfield Town for the second time this season as Brighton and Hove Albion eased their relegation fears with a 1-0 home win on Saturday.
On target in a 2-1 victory when these teams met in December, substitute Andone came to the Seagulls rescue again as he nodded in Anthony Knockaert s cross 11 minutes from time.
The hosts had long been frustrated in their attempts to find a way through but a sustained period of pressure after a lacklustre first half eventually broke Huddersfield s resistance, leaving Jan Siewert s side 13 points adrift of safety.
In contrast, Chris Hughton s men are now five points clear of 18th-placed Cardiff City, having celebrated a much-needed first league win of 2019.
80: Ohhhh Florin Andone!<…
