It was a win or bust assignment, with Scotland having made a dreadful start to World Cup qualifying. The opening two games, both at Hampden, had brought just one point with a goalless draw with Slovenia and 1-0 defeat by Norway.
Luton, backed by a sizeable following, started the brighter and created the first opening. The home fans were much happier in the 25th minute when their team scored from their first attack.

Howe, sat next to Amanda Staveley at the Amex having agreed a deal in principle with the club, would not have liked what he saw early on, shaking his head at the referee's decision to hand Brighton a penalty via VAR after Ciaran Clark had tripped Leandro Trossard, who converted the spot-kick himself (24).
That roused the Villa Park faithful and 18-year-old Carney Chukwuemeka went close to levelling, only to be denied by City goalkeeper Ederson.

The Italian comes in knowing he has his work cut out to claw Spurs back up the table and challenging for a top four spot at least, and one of his biggest tasks will be to getting Kane firing once again.
He's done his own recovery today and we'll leave it to the last minute to see if he can any play minutes.

Jurgen Klopp was clear before the game that he would still be keeping some of his best players in the side - or those who were fit - while giving others a chance.
Maybe this situation should not come as a surprise. Before the start of the ongoing competition, the 29-year-old had been involved in 60 percent of the nation’s goals at Afcon finals since his 2017 debut, scoring four times and assisting two of the side’s 10 strikes.

A little bit at times. The United one, what a chance I had. That is a great club, with great traditions. I am sure someone, somewhere along the line, will turn them back into what they were. But I didn't make it work. I couldn't win enough games in the 10 months to give me more time.
Lamptey has impressed since, making 33 appearances for Graham Potter's Seagulls - scoring once and making five assists.

Merson admits Mourinho has not yet reversed the decline that set in at the end of Pochettino's reign, but the former Arsenal midfielder believes the club's supporters need to trust him.
But there was to be a final twist in the game when the referee signalled for a penalty after the ball struck the hand of Aymeric Laporte. Coolness personified, Benzema made it 4-3 with a Panenka to leave the tie finely poised going into the second leg at the Bernabeu on Wednesday, May 4.

A tackle from Gary Speed changed everything. It put Keane out of the FA Cup final in the first few minutes, forcing a United reshuffle.
