The summer signing went close to doubling his tally either side of half-time, volleying straight at McCarthy from close range in the first half before sending a curling effort over the crossbar in the second.

We won more or less all statistics but the one that matters is goals. I can't accuse the players too much. If you always feel unlucky it's not luck, it's a bit of quality missing. We're the underdog each game, even before the season started we were favourites for position 20. We have seven academy products, we're the only self-funding club in this division so we can't spend money.
As usual, Maccabi Tel Aviv ended the first season of the season with the No. 2 position of the tournament. In total, they earned 18 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses over the 26 rounds played.

Winner: 1 pointSince 1956, a total of 172 clubs have reached a European semi-final and so make it to the full list.

So what have you made of it all? BBC Sport gives you the chance to give your verdict on lockdown football. Non-stop fixtures There has been little respite for footballers plying their trade in England's top two tiers since the restart, which officially got under way on 17 June and will draw to a close in early August (and that's not taking into account the upcoming conclusion to the Champions League and Europa League).

She made all of those sacrifices, moving away from home at a young age. That's because she's got this desire to be the best. She can only continue in the right direction and, at some point, she will be a mainstay for England, in my opinion. If she keeps continuing at that level and keeps performing in these big-pressure games, the world's her oyster. She gets you off your seat. She's got a real bright future.
In the summer, United did bring in three additions in defenders Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka and winger Daniel James but more is needed in the winter if United are to avoid a soul-destroying second half of the season and a mid-table finish. They need a commanding presence in the centre of midfield, a holding player who can give them the kind of steel that Fernandinho gave Manchester City last season or Fabinho has provided for Liverpool this term.
The hosts went ahead through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang but Frankfurt's Daichi Kamada scored twice after the break, to extend Arsenal's winless run in all competitions to seven games, for the first time since 1992.

Clubs were desperate to finish the 20190-20 campaign though as they were reliant on the more than 200m euros due as the final slice of the cake broadcasters Canal+ and BeIN SPORTS had shared for the last four years. Most of that sum now looks highly unlikely to be paid. With nearly 40% of Ligue 1 outfits' budgets coming from the TV deal, and Rennes currently the only top-flight side whose players have agreed to a wage cut, the future of some clubs is in the balance.
Potter, who arrived from Swansea City and replaced Chris Hughton at Brighton in the close season, has reinvigorated the club that barely survived relegation last season.

In the end, we’re expecting a third consecutive top flight stalemate for the hosts. Two of Spurs’ three trips to Big Six sides this season have ended 2-2, and with them conceding two goals in each of Mourinho’s three games in charge so far we think a repeat of this scoreline is on the cards too.
The home side dominated possession as they looked for a way back into the match, with Adama Traore's precise finish giving them hope before he dispossessed City left-back Benjamin Mendy and set up Raul Jimenez to clip in the equaliser from close range.

You see with some of the Spanish and Brazilian players here, they bring something different to the team. There was a tournament where we finished 14th out of 20. We all learned so much from that tournament. There was another where we finished second but we probably didn't learn half as much as we did in the previous one. It is around the ages of 13, 14, 15 that you learn a lot. From 15 to 18, that is your moment to start trying to mature because the men's game is a lot different to academy football.
Lazio has exactly 10 wins in a row in the league at this moment and they even beat Juventus twice first in the league at home with 3-1 and second in the Super Cup as they won the cup competition in Italy last season and won the Super Cup played in Saudi Arabia with 3-1 against the same Juventus side, so really great form for this side, and this promises to be a very entertaining game indeed with Sampdoria winning last round 5-1 at home against Brescia and scoring goals with ease.
They met in the cup also here in Florence a couple of weeks ago and despite Fiorentina opening the scoring Atalanta had a bunch of clear scoring chances before drawing level, than Fiorentina received a silly red card a second yellow card for a diving in the penalty area and everyone though it will be easy for Atalanta to win the cup game but Fiorentina won in 90 minute with 2-1 in the end scoring in 10 men.
