After successive defeats against Crystal Palace and Leicester City, it was imperative Pep Guardiola’s men returned to winning ways ahead of 2019. Despite Silva’s early opener, this game threatened to be another surprise defeat for the Citizens. Pierre-Emile Hojberg equalized in emphatic style after capitalizing on Oleksandr Zinchenko’s mistake in possession after 37 minutes. Quick-fire goals on the stroke of half-time saw City restore their lead and despite squandering goalscoring opportunities, they were dominant in possession and earned a deserved victory on this occasion....

For him it’s the equivalent of turning up for work. He’s danced past you, around you, above you, and into your psyche and we’re not close to half time yet....

The phrase has become an omnipresent, shorthand rallying call in modern soccer, which is somewhat surprising given what followed its most famous use.

A first Premier League title in 24 years was within reach. “This does not slip!” Gerrard hollered. Only, of course, he did and City won the title....

Fabinho kicked off proceedings with a scorcher, catching the entire Man City defence off guard in the 6th minute amidst protests about a handball on the other end of the pitch. Seven minutes later, Jurgen Klopp’s men doubled the lead thanks to a wonderful combination between Liverpool’s fullbacks and a textbook header from the irrepressible Mohamed Salah. In the second half, it was more trouble for Pep Guardiola’s defending champions, as Sadio Mane was on hand to receive a Jordan Henderson cross at the near post, sending a header past a bewildered Claudio Bravo for Liverpool’s third....

Goalkeeper - Sergio Rico The Spaniard had to wait for nearly three months to make his premier league debut as he finally replaced Bettinelli in Fulham’s recent fixture against Bournemouth.

Rico’s debut wasn’t a match to remember for him as the Cherries put three past him to win the fixture convincingly....

Predicting playing time under Bill Belichick is usually a daunting task, but New England youngsters Jarrett Stidham (14-19, 193 yards, TD), Jakobi Meyers (six receptions, 78 yards) and sleeper pick Damien Harris (14 carries, 80 yards) all delivered. DOMINATE YOUR DRAFT: Ultimate 2019 cheat sheet James Washington (four receptions, 78 yards) was dominant in his abbreviated time on the field for the Steelers, and Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (7-for-12, 40 yards) was on his way to substantial playing time before he hurt his hand and was forced from his game against the Raiders....

And this transformation appears to have happened with remarkably little resistance. No parliamentarians in the Russian legislature’s lower chamber—the State Duma—voted against Putin’s reform bill in its final reading on 11 March. Senior officials have made dramatic u-turns in their commentary on the legality of allowing Putin to run again for the presidency. And the political opposition’s response has been muted, including because of moves to neuter their initiatives to mobilise against the reforms....

The English style is often heavily sarcastic and witty, which players from other countries might take offence to....
