Arsenal's Matteo Guendouzi was booked for sarcastically placing the ball down Mike Dean cautioned the Frenchman during the FA Cup tie against Portsmouth

                                                                                                                Arsenal fans were left incensed on Monday after Matteo Guendouzi was booked for theatrically placing the ball down for a free kick by referee Mike Dean.

The French midfielder was cautioned by Dean during the first half of the Gunners' FA Cup tie with Portsmouth, leaving supporters bemused as to why he was booked. 

Moments before the caution, Guendouzi managed to win his side a free kick just before the interval but when he tried to take it quickly, he was told the ball wasn't taken in the correct place. When he tried taking it again, Dean pointed out that the ball was again not in the correct position leading to a frustrated Guendouzi picking up the ball high above his head before placing it on the ground with his arms outstretched.

Marcos Alonso scored a brace as Chelsea drew 2-2 away to relegation-threatened Bournemouth Alonso put Chelsea ahead in the 33rd minute but Bournemouth equalised through Jefferson Lerma

                                                                                                   Marcos Alonso dressed the windows with his late equaliser, the result was a continuation of a long-standing difficulty.
Chelsea quite simply cannot find a workable stride pattern. Every time the jog looks like becoming a sprint in this weird season, they face plant, and for that reason it is almost four months since they last recorded back-to-back wins in the Premier League.  It was his third goal in two games and went with a red card against Bayern Munich - a one-man mirror of his club's fluctuations.

The point is important for Bournemouth - in the past five games they have shown signs of revival, even if they do only have two wins in 11 since they last beat Chelsea in December. For Lampard, Chelsea have two wins in eight in all competitions and badly need to step up the pace again. They were in horrible difficulty after giving up the lead from Alonso's first-half strike, and at 2-1 down a familiar tale was playing out - for whatever reason, Eddie Howe is the stone that Chelsea cannot quite remove from their shoe. Three Bournemouth wins in the past four runs of this fixture was on the cusp of becoming four in five, before Alonso struck again with five minutes remaining. It was his third goal in two games and went with a red card against Bayern Munich - a one-man mirror of his club's fluctuations.The second, finished by King after a Jack Stacey's ball across the box, survived a VAR referral, but three points ultimately became one when Alonso headed in a rebound after 15 minutes of solid Chelsea pressure.

Nigel Pearson says Watford still have much work to do to avoid relegation Pearson's side secured a shock 3-0 win to end Liverpool's unbeaten league run

                                                                                                  Watford made it 2-0 six minutes later when Deeney produced a wonderful through ball for Sarr to race away on goal and he showed great composure to chip the onrushing Alisson.

Trent Alexander-Arnold's poor back pass allowed Sarr to get in again with 72 on the clock and he laid back for Deeney to curl home and send Vicarage Road into pandemonium.

Watford are back in action next Saturday when they face Crystal Palace away. After creating the better chances in the first half, the Hornets made their dominance count when Sarr opened the scoring in the 54th minute from Abdoulaye Doucoure's cross.  Pearson said: 'I wish I could enjoy the good times a bit more,' the 56-year-old admitted. 'I am already looking at the next game in my own mind.

                                                                                           Odion Ighalo savoured his first goal for Manchester United but admitted it was tinged with sadness because his late sister Mary was not alive to see him score it.

The Nigerian striker made his first start against Club Brugge in the Europa League on Thursday night since joining United on loan until the end of the season from Shanghai Shenhua, and marked the occasion by scoring the second goal in a 5-0 win at Old Trafford.

Ighalo, 30, celebrated by pulling up his jersey to reveal a T-shirt with a tribute to his sister who passed away in December. The boyhood United fan said: 'She is a Man United fan. We prayed for this moment to play for United, and unfortunately she is not here to see me doing that.

'I promised I would dedicate every goal I scored (to her). I'm happy that I did that and wherever she is, she is happy that I'm doing that and she is doing great.

Fury dominated from start to finish in the greatest victory of an English boxer abroad in boxing history The 30-year-old broke into a rendition of American Pie to a jubilant Las Vegas audience in the MGM Grand

                                   Fury has now completed a full set of the world heavyweight belts by adding Wilder's WBC title and the Ring Magazine accolade to the WBA, WBO, IBF and IBO prizes he held previously after defeating Wladimir Klitschko. Fury had held since the fight was announced. But Fury relished the role of the underdog.

Both men arrived early with the arena barely a third full for the preliminary bouts. So as the big screens picked them up walking to their dressing rooms there were muted cheers from the early birds for Fury, in one of his suits of many colours, and just isolated cries of 'Bomber' for Wilder in dark kit.

Wilder's party seemed to get lost en route from his penthouse suite in the MGM and they took him and his fiancée on a ten to 15 minute march from the bottom of the elevator, through the thronged hotel lobby and around the inner corridors of the Grand Garden to reach his billet.

Chelsea have drawn Ajax, Valencia and Lille in their Champions League group, Frank Lampard's side have only won one of their four matches so far this season

                                                                                              The Blues were not able to sign one anyone new in the summer as they are currently under a transfer ban. 
Lampard's side have only won one of their four matches so far this season. It was hard not feel sorry for Ajax when Tottenham's incredible comeback denied them a place in last season's final. Erik ten Hag's talented crop of youngsters beat Real Madrid and Juventus en-route to the semi-finals and Ajax have since lost two of the key men from that famous run.

                                                                                             The Premier League’s top team beat the bottom team with a brilliant goal from second half substitute Sadio Mane, returning after injury. ‘We shall not be moved,’ the Liverpool fans sang delightedly, over and over again after their 1-0 win. They have earned the right to celebrate over these last 30 years of hurt. Storm Dennis frustrated them for a while and threatened to knock them out of their stride with the challenges it presented to their passing. And Norwich did their bit with some fine football of their own. But there is an inevitability about Liverpool winning these days. It is, after all, October 20 since they last dropped a point.
