Inter Milan remain two points clear at the top of Serie A after coming from behind to draw 1-1 at nearest rivals Juventus.

Dusan Vlahovic gave the home side the lead after starting and finishing a well-worked move in the 27th minute, but Lautaro Martinez equalised just five minutes later with a first-time finish which capped a stunning team goal.

The latest instalment of the derby d’Italia petered out in the second half and Juve never seriously threatened to complete a sixth straight win which would have taken them a point clear at the summit.

Frank Lampard lives and breathes Everton as he reiterated his belief that the Toffees can clinch Premier League survival.

Everton led 2-1 in a crucial contest with fellow strugglers Burnley heading into the second half at Turf Moor on Wednesday, yet a familiar tale of costly defensive mistakes struck once more.

From having a first league away victory since August in their grasp, and a six-point cushion on the relegation zone, Everton succumbed to goals from Jay Rodriguez and Maxwel Cornet.

That leaves Lampard s team just a point above the 18th-placed Clarets ahead of Saturday s meeting with Manchester United at Goodison Park.

Everton have won just one of their last 13 Premier League meetings with United (D6 L6), beating them 4-0 just under three years…

An overjoyed Oliver Glasner praised his side s ability to withstand a resilient West Ham, as Eintracht Frankfurt qualified for the Europa League final on Thursday.

Carrying a slender 2-1 lead on aggregate into Thursday s second leg, Eintracht gave themselves critical breathing room with Rafael Borre s 26th-minute goal, eventually winning 1-0 on the night and going through 3-1 over the tie.

Even with West Ham needing to chase the game, Aaron Cresswell s first-half dismissal meant Eintracht had the majority of possession, yet they still gave up higher-quality chances. A 10-man West Ham actually generated a higher xG of 1.62 in comparison to the hosts 1.13 over the 90 minutes.

Nevertheless, Glasner was proud of his team s defensive effort.

“Slowly somet…

With their spot in the knockout stage already confirmed, Manchester United can take top spot off Juventus if they beat Valencia and the Old Lady fail to topple Young Boys.

Valencia

Starting with the hosts, while the poor form of Young Boys may have helped Valencia bag a spot in the Europa League courtesy of a third place finish in Group H, that doesn t cover what has been a very worrying start for Marcelino García Toral. Now picking up just one win in their last four matches across all competitions, the Bats find themselves sat way down in 15th in the La Liga table. Holding just a four-point buffer over the relegation zone, the former European giants have also been drastically short…

According to a recent report from Goal, Everton’s board are ready and willing to say yes to Marco Silva bringing in a new forward during the January transfer window. The Toffees have been struggling to put the ball in the back of the net in comparison to most of their competitors in the Premier League, with Moise Kean’s poor form since arriving at Goodison Park being earmarked as one of the biggest reasons as to why they haven’t really been able to hit the ground running this season. 

In terms of targets, Eintracht Frankfurt striker Goncalo Paciencia is believed to be at the top of Silva’s wishlist during the January window. While he may be under a great deal of pressure at this moment in time, the club are still okay with getting behind this potential move in what…

Manchester United caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hopes David de Gea remembers the club s belief in him as negotiations over a new contract continue.

United have already activated an option to extend the Spain international s contract until the end of next season but have so far been unable to agree a long-term deal.

De Gea joined United in 2011 for a British record fee for a goalkeeper in an £18.9million switch from Atletico Madrid.

Despite initially struggling to adapt to the Premier League, he has since developed into one of the world s best goalkeepers and has won United s player of the season award in four out of the last five years.

Solskjaer was fulsome in his praise of the 28-year-old but wants him to consider what the club have done for h…

Ever Banega felt mixed emotions after Sevilla s Europa League triumph over Inter brought the curtain down on his stay with the club.

Argentina international Banega first joined Sevilla in 2014 and returned to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan in 2017 after a season in Serie A with Inter.

He will continue his career in Saudi Arabia with Al-Shabab after Sevilla won Europe s secondary club competition for a record sixth time on Friday.

The 32-year-old played an important role as Julen Lopetegui s side beat his former club 3-2 in Cologne, setting up Luuk de Jong s second goal after Romelu Lukaku had put the Nerazzurri ahead in the fifth minute.

Diego Godin equalised in the 35th minute, but Lukaku sent an overhead kick from Diego Carlos into his own net after Inter…

Manchester United, Barcelona and Juventus all made winning starts to their Champions League campaigns as the group stage got up and running.

Tuesday s headline fixture saw two heavyweights in a head-to-head Group H clash, as United saw off Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 thanks to Marcus Rashford s late strike. The England forward s last three goals in the competition have all come on the road, with the last two netted at Parc des Princes.

The victory means United, who have also now scored a record nine Champions League own goals thanks to Anthony Martial s mistake, have won 10 consecutive away matches in all competitions for the first time.

Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring with his 11th spot-kick for United. Since 2012-13, PSG have conceded more penalties (18) an…

Massimiliano Allegri will expect Juventus to take the anger of their Champions League failure on Inter when they do battle in the Derby d Italia on Sunday.

A 2-1 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday made it five defeats from six Group H games for Juve, but they will move into the Europa League after finishing in third place.

Allegri stated he expects his players to use the fury of falling short in the Champions League as fuel for the remainder of the season, and a victory at the Allianz Stadium would move them above Inter.

The sixth-placed Nerazzurri, who head into the weekend two points better off than Juve, had already qualified for the Champions League before they were beaten 2-0 at Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

Lionel Messi joining forces with Neymar and Kylian Mbappe could turn Paris Saint-Germain into a practically unbeatable team , according to Cafu.

Messi s future at Barcelona remains unclear beyond the current campaign, the Argentina international having attempted to engineer his departure in the previous offseason before eventually announcing he would be staying put for a further year.

Manchester City were strongly linked with a move for the six-time Ballon d Or winner, in a switch that would have reunited Messi with former Barca boss Pep Guardiola in England.

However, Neymar stated after PSG s Champions League win over Manchester United that he wants to play alongside Messi again, adding: Next year, we have to play together, for sure.
