There were high hopes for him when he joined Brighton 18 months ago, having just won the Dutch golden boot with AZ Alkmaar with 21 goals before playing at the World Cup for Iran. But he failed to score in 25 appearances last campaign and was making his first Premier League start of the season against Bournemouth in one of seven changes from their Boxing Day defeat by Tottenham. The 26-year-old spoke recently about wanting to work hard to get into the team despite rumours of a January departure - and started confidently with a good first-minute cross into the box.
I know how I feel. If any of my family get infected through me because I've had to play when it's not safe, and they get seriously ill, I'd have to think hard about ever playing again. I would never forgive the authorities. Wayne RooneyGetty Images Rooney's conviction is so strong that if things had turned out differently he would have considered retirement.
While seven points between them and 17th-placed Aston Villa sounds a lot, the injuries that have blighted their season have relented and there remains a belief that they can survive. We had an unbelievable injury curse at the beginning of the season but you have to back the lads who are available. Now we are in a better position," he said.
Even though he is happy in his familiar surroundings on a personal level - possibly as he has never been before - it keeps the board on its toes. He wants the team to compete, especially in Europe. And if he brings doubts about his future, it will force everyone to find a solution - namely, being clever in the market and bringing in good players. Negotiations for a contract renewal had been going well.
One very good reason for taking the home win in this one even with cover on the draw bet is the fact that Valencia in their last 10 home games has a record of 7-3-0, Real Madrid and Chelsea only drew here while Barcelona lost 2-0 here not so long ago, and usually Valencia is bossing their games at home while Atletico is not really the type of side to be dominating games, looking at their recent starting eleven I also see many missing players and overall a weak side compared to the previous seasons.
FC Minsk have made an impressive start to their new season. They have won seven of their last eight home league games, so this isn't perhaps the match-up struggling BATE Borisov might want. The away side have lost three of their last four league and cup ties but regularly get on the scoresheet. A bet on both teams to get on the scoresheet is the one to go for here.

The Canaries are statistically the worst performing Premier League team on the road so far this season, picking up just four of the 24 points on offer, and Norwich's haul of four goals makes them the lowest scoring team in the division since the summer.
Hi! Cardiff and Stoke arrives ahead of the EFL Championship 18th round match. This game will be played at Cardiff City stadium. Can the home team deliver the victory to their fans? These two teams have faced each other a lot of times. In this clash, Stoke is a main outsider with 11 points from 16 games played. So, it can be an easy meat for the Cardiff City. Both teams like to concede a lot of goals, so why me is choosing the right moment on both teams scoring in this venue as well. Why not? :) Bet on scoring with a tie-ending game! Good game!
Both sides could do with a win from this game. Forest have been losing ground on the automatic promotion places, while Milwall are down to tenth in the table. Forest had that impressive home win over second place Leeds but haven't been able to build on that. Millwall are also on a bad run but their games haven't been seeing many goals scored. Go for under 2.5 goals to be scored in this match.
You can train hard at home but that's nothing compared to the rhythm at the highest level," Pedro told Chelsea's official website. A lot of clubs have now been apart for many days, so it's going to be difficult to get match fit. I imagine there would have to be a short pre-season and then we'd probably quickly get on to the remaining games to try to complete the season, but only if possible as there is a lot of talk that some leagues might be able to finish and others won't.

There has never been such a great player who was also such a great manager. In that he stands utterly unique. For almost three decades he was the presiding genius of Barcelona and thus, as their pre-eminence has burgeoned, of football itself. Winning,” Cruyff once said, “is an important thing, but to have your own style, to have people copy you, to admire you, that is the greatest gift.
AC Milan suffered their heaviest defeat for more than 21 years as they were thrashed 5-0 by Atalanta in Serie A. Stefano Pioli's side are 10th in the table and could go into Christmas in the bottom half if Sassuolo or Bologna win later on Sunday. Alejandro Gomez scored a stunning opener, nutmegging Andrea Conti before firing home, and Atalanta's final three goals came in the last half hour. Mario Pasalic scored and Josip Ilicic netted twice before Luis Muriel struck.

It has asked the government to change a decree issued last Wednesday which allows matches to go ahead without spectators. Caputo added a second goal just after the hour and Jeremie Boga completed the scoring after 75 minutes in the sixth Serie A match to be played in an empty stadium since Wednesday's decree.
Chelsea will try to replace the goalscoring and creativity of Eden Hazard in the January transfer window, says boss Frank Lampard. The Blues discovered last week that their two-window transfer ban has been halved, meaning they can sign players next month. Lampard was speaking after his side beat Lille 2-1 to reach the Champions League last 16. There will be discussions about where we can strengthen," said Lampard.

The first leg of what some may call The Diego Maradona Derby takes place at the Stadio San Paolo in the south of Italy on Tuesday. The Champions League has been a silver lining in an otherwise dismal cloud of a season for Napoli. After finishing second in Serie A last season, it was expected that they would challenge Juventus for the title again.
After 22 matches, Bremen currently falls to the penultimate position on the table with 17 points, 5 points behind the safety group. This is a big gap that can catch up. However, what this team is showing makes fans nervous with the last 4 matches losing in the Bundesliga. The Dortmund players lost 3-4 to Bayer Leverkusen in round 21, thereby ending the chain of 3 consecutive victories but they also managed to return with a 4-0 victory over Frankfurt in the previous round. Along with that, rookie Haaland also continued to shoot, an extremely impressive scoring record for young rookies.

Well done. Tottenham are definitely better without Harry Kane That's three games with zip goals for a Harry Kane-less Spurs but it is okay because according some egg on Twitter, whose avatar is an egg, Tottenham Hotspur are a much better outfit without Kane. The evidence is undeniable: Tottenham won some games before Kane was injured.
Former Norway U21, Molde and Stromsgodset manager Tor Ole Skullerud added when asked about Haaland’s credit “I think he has to get the credit himself. I think this is something that he just has, an instinct, that you have or don’t have as a footballer. And the best strikers in the world have a combination of what we are talking about now.
