Humiliating defeats at the hands of Manchester City and Newcastle added to the pressure on Erik ten Hag, which was only eased slightly by a 1-0 win over Fulham on Saturday. Bayern lost to Holstein Kiel on penalties at the same stage three years ago, then were thrashed 5-0 by Borussia Moenchengladbach in the second round in 2021. Potter caught the attention of Napoli after the manager’s success at Brighton, although his career with Chelsea did not go well.

Ten Hag was also criticized for failing to implement its own style of play, but it was also affected by injuries to key players. Arsenal have kept 12 away clean sheets in the Premier League since the start of last season, five more than any other side (Fulham and Man City, seven each). The VAR will often look for two extended hands to be placed upon on opponent for there to be enough for an overturn, but clearly it shouldn't be the only determining factor. It was decided there wasn't enough in Doherty's actions to warrant a VAR intervention, but if the VAR had intervened on this Doherty couldn't have had any complaints. Maguire’s own goal in the second half allowed Scotland to close the gap but Harry Kane ensured England’s victory late in the game. United are currently third in Group A, six points behind leaders Bayern Munich and one behind Galatasaray.And after the excellent Foden drew City level, Salah scored a goal that will live long in the memory as he twisted and turned in between a host of City defenders before lashing an unstoppable finish past Ederson. Portuguese playmaker Bruno Fernandes has also been inconsistent in a squad that has only scored 12 goals in 11 English Premier League games this season.

The former Manchester United captain was even more unfortunate when Andrew Robertson’s ball was caught into his own net for Scotland’s only goal. Pep Guardiola is a smart man and he will be remembered more. But Jurgen Klopp is a great team manager.City dominated the first half but wasted a host of chances and were punished when Sadio Mane was the beneficiary of more Salah brilliance to apply a clinical finish to put Liverpool ahead after 59 minutes. Everton manager Sean Dyche admits his side were 'miles off' Arsenal with the ball after their 1-0 defeat at Goodison Park Foden's importance for City was also emphasised as he gave Milner a nightmare for the 78 minutes the Liverpool veteran was on the pitch, and scored a crucial equaliser just as The Kop sensed their side had finally established supremacy.

City were clearly determined to probe the right-hand side of Liverpool's defence where Milner was not actually receiving too much assistance, and it was no surprise that Foden found himself in space to give Allison no chance with a fine finish to level. Maybe there are 100 reasons or maybe none at all. We are facing an injury crisis but some say we deserve to win,” Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel said.Clean sheets are critical. There were so many things that cost Arsenal at the end of last season - a couple of injuries, they lost their fluidity, their tempo of play, they gave leads away - but they were conceding goals and it undermines everything that you're trying to do. MANCHESTER: Graham Potter is waiting for Napoli to make an official offer, but at the same time is ready to listen if Manchester United are interested in his services.
