Football: Burnley boost survival hopes with 2-0 win over Wolves

BURNLEY, England (REUTERS) - Burnley moved five points clear of the Premier League's relegation zone after an early Conor Coady own goal and a late Dwight McNeil strike gave them a 2-0 home win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday (March 30).
The result left Burnley 17th on 33 points from 32 games, five more than 18th-placed Cardiff City who have two games in hand and host sixth-placed Chelsea on Sunday.
Burnley manager Sean Dyche praised McNeil and was also upbeat about his team's chances of staying in the top flight.
"Dwight has got real quality and he has shown that again with a goal and an assist," Dyche told the BBC.
"He is 19 and delivering in the Premier League. He's certainly laid down a marker. He will be aware of some of the basics he still has to learn but I'm enjoying what he is doing.
"We have got 21 points since Christmas - that's a healthy return. That should leave us in good confidence."
Asked if Wolves had next week's FA Cup semi-final with Watford was on their minds, Coady said: "No, not at all. It's a good game coming up but we're not thinking about it.
"We have it all to play for in the Premier League. We want to finish as high as we can."
Wolves stayed seventh on 44 points from 31 games. They are ahead of Leicester City, who have played a game more, on goal difference.
Coady netted his third own-goal of the season in the second minute when he slid goalwards in an attempt to block Chris Wood's shot which struck the post and rebounded into the back of the net off the Wolves captain.
The visitors had a penalty appeal waved away by referee Christopher Kavanagh midway through the first half after Jonny Castro's shot struck Burnley striker Ashley Barnes in the arm.
Ivan Cavaleiro squandered a gilt-edged chance to equalise shortly after the break, blazing his shot over the bar after good work by Leander Dendoncker on the right flank.
That miss was punished in the 77th minute, when livewire McNeil picked his spot inside the penalty area and drove a fine shot into the bottom right corner of the net to seal Burnley's victory.

Football: Barcelona is greater than the sum of its parts, says Manchester United's Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

LONDON â€¢ Lionel Messi has scored 22 Champions League goals in 30 appearances against English teams - more than any other player in the history of the competition.
But Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has no plans to man-mark the Barcelona talisman in the first leg of their quarter-final tie today, despite admitting he "will go down in history as one of the best ever".
At his pre-match press conference yesterday, he said: "Messi will be difficult to stop but never impossible, it's not like Messi against Manchester United, (there's also Luis) Suarez, (Philippe) Coutinho, (Arturo) Vidal, so many good players. We can't focus on one, we have to focus on (all) 11 of them.
"What kind of plan can you have to stop one of the best in the world? This season we (have already) played against (Cristiano) Ronaldo and (Kylian) Mbappe, and now Messi. They're challenges I relish, I say bring it on."
Although this is the first time Solskjaer will face the 31-year-old and his team as a coach, there is someone who has a wealth of experience trying to shackle the Argentina captain and whose experience he has drawn upon - his mentor Alex Ferguson.
Revealing he had tapped the former United managerial great's inside knowledge, he said: "Of course, I've spoken with the gaffer since the draw was made but no details... You look at what you'll do against them and we're ready."
While Solskjaer is fully aware "we have to defend well against them", he also urged the Old Trafford faithful to come out in droves as "we will need the crowd in a game like this".

Barcelona v Man United: Epic Champions League battles

2011: FINAL, WEMBLEY
This was the last time the two European football juggernauts met in a competitive fixture.
It was, however, far from a tight contest as United were overrun in midfield while Lionel Messi led their defence on a merry run as Barcelona ran out 3-1 winners.
This was tiki-taka football at its peak, with Pep Guardiola lifting his second European Cup as a manager.

2009: FINAL, STADIO OLIMPICO
While United were ultimately outplayed in the 2-0 loss, they departed Rome asking life's cruellest question - what if?
Despite a blistering start, during which they were on top, they failed to score before their defence gave away a soft opener to Samuel Eto'o.
The Red Devils could only rue Darren Fletcher's ban that left Michael Carrick isolated in midfield against Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta, with the former eventually supplying Messi's headed goal.

2008: SEMI-FINAL 2ND LEG, OLD TRAFFORD
Former United manager Alex Ferguson and his assistant Carlos Queiroz were so determined to restrict the away side's "passing carousel" that they went through an unprecedented level of tactical preparation in training.
The attention to detail worked as they restricted Barcelona to few chances and no goals across the two legs, reaching their first Champions League final since 1999 thanks to Paul Scholes' howitzer on a night of raw emotion.
It was probably, across both legs, their most negative performance in Ferguson's 26 years at the club, but the end justified the means, with United going on to claim their third European Cup.
THE GUARDIAN

The Norwegian said: "Hopefully, a bit of rain will make for a special evening. Confidence is high. The result, what we did against Paris Saint-Germain, and how we have climbed the table, clawing back points.
"The players have given themselves and the supporters great belief. I can feel the tension, the excitement. The Champions League is possible and we can go on to win it. There will have to be luck and margins, we must perform at the best."
But even if the Red Devils fail to match the Catalan giants' "quality" at home, the tie - their first meeting since the 2011 Champions League final - is "not going to be decided until we play 90 minutes in the Nou Camp".
Backing midfielder Paul Pogba to "perform tomorrow as his job is to be the creator and to drive us forward", Solskjaer added: "We know we can't give fouls away, look how many goals Messi has scored from free kicks outside the area (seven this season), we have to be careful.
"(But) the Champions League throws up so many strange results, we just have to make sure we perform to our best and have a result to take over to Barcelona."
The 46-year-old also touched on Barcelona defender Gerard Pique's first return to his "second home" of Manchester since leaving the club in 2008, before jokingly drawing a parallel with their age gap.
He said: "Gerard, I used to play with him. He came as a young boy (Pique is now 32), we had a lot of belief in him.
"He was maybe unlucky, he came here when (Nemanja) Vidic and Rio (Ferdinand) played here so he didn't get the chances he probably deserved.
"It will be nice to meet him again. Hopefully, we can make him feel old, and not me young."
United also received a boost after it was revealed forward Marcus Rashford would likely be fit, although midfielder Nemanja Matic remains a doubt.

'Robust' security steps for Champs League final

'Robust' security steps for Champs League final
MADRID â€¢ Madrid will deploy an unprecedented number of police and security personnel for tomorrow's all-English Champions League final, and use a drone for the first time to monitor fan activity.
The Spanish authorities have also banned trucks weighing over 31/2 tonnes, deemed "high risk", near the Metropolitano stadium, the venue for the match between Liverpool and Tottenham.
Trucks will also be barred from the vicinity of the two fan zones that will be set up in the city centre.
"We will have a very, very robust security apparatus in place to try to ensure everything takes place normally and everyone can enjoy (the match)," the director-general of Spain's National Police, Francisco Pardo, told a news conference.
Some 4,700 police officers and private security guards will be deployed, more than the nearly 4,000 used for last year's Copa Libertadores final between Argentinian rivals River Plate and Boca Juniors in Madrid, a match that was also declared "high risk" by authorities.
"This will probably be the biggest deployment to guarantee security which we will carry out at a sporting event in Madrid," said Pardo.
Police will for the first time deploy a drone to provide aerial monitoring to prevent fan trouble at a sporting event, he added.
The authorities expect around 32,000 ticket-holding fans from both teams to attend the match at the 68,000-capacity stadium, and thousands more without a ticket to go to Madrid from Britain as well as southern Spain and neighbouring Portugal.
British police are sharing intelligence with their Spanish counterparts and will be in Madrid to assist in the security operation.
While there is no great history of rivalry between the two sides, six Liverpool fans were arrested in Barcelona for public disorder on the eve of their meeting in the Champions League semi-final first leg.
Spanish sports daily Marca summed up the angst sparked by the final with a front-page headline on Monday that ran in big yellow letters: "FEAR".
The authorities also plan to keep the fans of each team separate at all times. They will arrive at different airport terminals and take different metro lines to the stadium from their respective fan zones.

Football: Makeshift Barca side beaten at Celta and lose Dembele to injury

VIGO (REUTERS) - Barcelona fell to their first La Liga defeat since November as the champions were beaten 2-0 at struggling Celta Vigo after making 11 changes but forward Ousmane Dembele suffered an injury setback ahead of Tuesday's Champions League game at Liverpool.
Dembele, who came off the bench in Barca's 3-0 win over Liverpool in last week's semi-final first leg, was one of few regular starters to face Celta as coach Ernesto Valverde made sweeping changes after clinching the title last Saturday.
The win took Celta on to 40 points and a step closer towards guaranteeing survival but it meant 19th-placed Rayo Vallecano became the first team to be relegated, after a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Levante left them on 31 points from 36 games.
Uruguay forward Maxi Gomez gave Celta a deserved lead in the 67th minute, sliding to the floor to divert a low pass beyond Barca's reserve goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen, after the home side saw a goal ruled out for a marginal offside after a VAR review.
Celta's captain and talisman Iago Aspas then sealed the away side's win by converting from the penalty spot after another VAR review ruled that Barca's Samuel Umtiti had handled the ball.
Barca, who lost for the first time since a 4-3 defeat to Real Betis nearly six months ago, have 83 points while second-placed Atletico have 74 after losing 3-0 at Espanyol earlier on Saturday.

Football: Sluggish Italian Serie A leaders Juventus lose unbeaten record after crashing 2-0 at humble Genoa

ROME (DPA, REUTERS) - Italian Serie A dominators Juventus lost 2-0 at Genoa on Sunday (March 17) to suffer a first league defeat this season, as they left ace Cristiano Ronaldo to rest in Turin.
Ex-Juventus midfielder Stefano Sturaro came on to fire home the opener on 72 minutes and Goran Pandev, also a substitute, finished off a counter-attack on 81 minutes.
After Ronaldo inspired them with a hat-trick in Wednesday's stunning 3-0 defeat of Atletico Madrid in the Champions League to go through to the quarter-finals 3-2 on aggregate, Juve proved unable to maintain the tempo against brisk Genoa, who in October held the Bianconeri 1-1 in the first of their three stalemates.
Juve remain 18 points clear of Napoli, who play later at home to struggling Udinese. Genoa moved 11 points clear of the drop zone into 12th place with 10 games remaining.
"I expected a different Juventus," coach Massimiliano Allegri told Italian broadcasters. "We did not put in a good performance, we made some mistakes and then this goal came out of nowhere.
"Much like the Coppa Italia defeat to Atalanta, we picked the right game to lose, because it's just before the break for international duty, so we have time to unplug and rest."
"I am actually happy for Stefano, because if anyone had to score against us, I'm glad it was Sturaro. He's a lovely guy and suffered so much, out of action for practically a year with that tendon injury, so he deserves it."
Juve had dropped points just three times this season going into the game, with draws against Genoa, Atalanta and Parma, while they were unbeaten overall in the top flight for the last 31 rounds, since losing 1-0 to Napoli on April 22, 2018.

Football: Liverpool 'ambitious like hell' for Premier League title, says Klopp

LONDON (AFP) - Jurgen Klopp says his Liverpool players are "ambitious like hell" to win the Premier League, backing them to bounce back from their thumping at Barcelona and keep the title race alive against Newcastle.
Liverpool travel to face the St James' Park side managed by former Reds boss Rafael Benitez a point behind Premier League leaders Manchester City with two matches to go.
Victory on Saturday would see Liverpool go back to the top of the table and ramp up the pressure on City ahead of the reigning champions' home match against Leicester on Monday.
The German manager told reporters at his pre-match press conference on Friday (May 3) he was expecting a tough game against Newcastle, who are safe from relegation.
But he said his players had proved their ability to perform under pressure all season, amassing 91 points so far with just a single defeat in the Premier League.
"The boys are completely on fire," he said.
"When you are in the race and you see you can win it, you don't get tired, that's how it is.
"We are ambitious like hell. We want to (win) but we still know it's not 100 per cent in our hands but the only thing we can do is to beat Newcastle and that is unbelievably difficult."

Â
Klopp reiterated that a mature away performance in the Champions League was not reflected in the 3-0 scoreline at Camp Nou.
And he insisted that his players were in a positive mood and had the mental strength to recover as they look to win Liverpool's first English title of the Premier League since 1990.
"It's no problem, of course we have to prove it again tomorrow, but we didn't have to pick up players in Barcelona and give them a hug," he said.
"It doesn't happen too often, honestly, that I lose 3-0 and have much more positive thoughts about the game than negative, but it was in this game.
"When we flew home it was all OK, the boys were already (focused) on the Newcastle game 100 percent," the German boss added.
"The boys have had 20 hours to recover, now we will have one session and try to prepare them for Newcastle, which is important because it will be a different game obviously, but it's not new for us."
Klopp revealed however that Naby Keita would miss the rest of the season with an adductor injury that is set to sideline the Guinea international midfielder for around eight weeks, putting his participation in the Africa Cup of Nations in jeopardy.
Keita limped off midway through the first half in Barcelona.
"Bad news, he has a high-grade adductor injury," said Klopp.
"The tendon is ruptured, which keeps him out for at least two months.
"Bad news for us obviously, but bad news for Guinea as well because the Africa Cup of Nations is coming up."

Football: Bale 100 per cent committed to Real, claims agent

LONDON (AFP) â€“ Gareth Bale is still â€œ100 per centâ€ committed to Real Madrid despite speculation over his future, the Wales starâ€™s agent insisted on Monday (April 29).Â
Former Tottenham wingerÂ Bale has been linked with a return to the Premier League after a difficult season with the troubled Spanish club.Â
The 29-year-old has had to endure claims that he doesnâ€™t have a strong relationship with his team-mates, while Real have suffered a woeful campaign on the pitch.Â Â
Bale played the full 90 minutes when Real suffered a shock 1-0 defeat against lowly Rayo Vallecano on Sunday, but Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane later questioned whether he was fully focused.Â Â
Baleâ€™s agent Jonathan Barnett has responded to Zidaneâ€™s comments by telling BBC Sport Wales: â€œGareth is 100 per cent committed to Real Madrid.â€
Referring to his past assertion thatÂ Bale wanted to spend the rest of his career with Madrid, Barnett added: â€œNothing has changed.â€
Frustrated at a lack of starting opportunities for Real towards the end of last season,Â Bale had actually hinted he might consider leaving when he spoke to the media immediately after scoring twice in last yearâ€™s Champions League final win against Liverpool.Â Â
Baleâ€™s Madrid contract runs until 2022, but the return of Zidane, with whom he reportedly has a difficult relationship, has revived talk of a potential move.Â
Despite winning four Champions League trophies and one La Liga title in Spain,Â Bale has come under-fire for his inconsistent performances and injury problems from Real fans.Â
Zidane, who is back after quitting at the end of last season, recently warned Real stars who are unhappy with their playing time should â€œgo elsewhere and get more minutesâ€.Â
Manchester United and Tottenham are among the clubs said to be interested if Wales internationalÂ Bale wants to leave the Bernabeu.Â

Football: AC Milan miss out on top-four finish in Serie A despite win over SPAL

MILAN (REUTERS) - Former European Cup winners AC Milan endured a bittersweet 3-2 win at SPAL in the last round of the Italian Serie A, finishing the campaign outside the top four after their nearest rivals both booked their Champions League berths on Sunday (May 26).
The result left Milan fifth on 68 points, one behind third-placed Atalanta and fourth-placed city rivals Inter, meaning they will have to be content with the Europa League next season.
Atalanta came from behind to beat Sassuolo 3-1 at home while Inter eked out a 2-1 win against relegated Empoli at the San Siro.
"I am happy with the development of my players, I think many of them have improved a lot," said AC Milan coach Gennaro Gattuso, whose future with the club is uncertain. "We can still get better although it will not be easy to improve this season's 68 points.
"The biggest regret is that in the last few months we have not played well and we have lost too many points, but all in all, our work has been good. There are regrets but also pride. I've congratulated the squad for what they have given me this season."
Despite his team making the Champions League, Inter coach Luciano Spalletti's own future is also uncertain, with media reports suggesting that the club want to replace him with former Juventus and Chelsea coach Antonio Conte.
His men missed a penalty, conceded an equaliser, grabbed a late winner and survived a siege on their goal before beating Empoli 2-1 while sending their luckless opponents into Serie B.

Â
"I expected a match like this," he said. "It was always going to be a night of suffering. We needed to put our hearts into this match and we did. I'm very unhappy to see Empoli in Serie B, I have a lot of friends there. They deserved to be saved. But we never gave up until the end."

Football: Chelsea's success next season hinges on transfer ban being lifted, says former striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink

SINGAPORE - Maurizio Sarri should be given more time as Chelsea manager, but the club's success next season will also depend greatly on whether it succeeds in getting a transfer ban lifted.
That's the view of former Blues striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who will be in town to catch Chelsea's English Premier League game against Manchester United on Sunday (April 28) with local fans the Clarke Quay Fountain Square at the Football Moments event, presented by Chang Beer and organised by Singtel Media.
A win would strengthen Chelsea's hopes for a top-four finish, which also ensures qualification to the Champions League next season. The Blues are fourth on 67 points, one ahead of fifth-placed Arsenal and three head of United in sixth, with three games left this season.
Hasselbaink felt that Chelsea - and Sarri - have to make a statement they are going in the right direction by beating United.
The 47-year-old told the Sunday Times: "The team started the season really well and the expectations were raised because the team went 12 games unbeaten and were top of the table, but a lot of (observers) knew they could not maintain the position because they don't have the squad that Manchester City or Liverpool has.
"Sarri came in with a totally different football style which other teams eventually adapted to, and Chelsea themselves have not really adapted to these changes.
"Sunday will be a very important match and Chelsea must show they can beat a top-six rival away, something they have not done all season.

Â
Â
Â
Â
"And once the season is over, you have to look at the plusses and minuses, and then build on that by giving Sarri more time because the club already made a decision to go with his style by appointing him in the first place."
The Dutchman also believes that Chelsea need to strengthen their squad in the summer, with the London club facing the prospect of losing their top striker Eden Hazard to Real Madrid.
But it will depend on whether the Blues can overturn the two-window transfer ban Fifa slapped onto the club in February for breaching rules related to the signing of players under the age of 18. Chelsea have appealed against the ruling.
Hasselbaink said: "Chelsea definitely need to strengthen the squad, regardless of whether Hazard stays or goes.
"They need a better balance, and in midfield, they also need more creativity, like how Manchester City has in players like Kevin de Bruyne.
"They also need a leftback, centrehalf and most importantly, an out-and-out striker that is top quality."
Hasselbaink (1999, 2001) and Ivorian Didier Drogba (2007, 2010) are the only two Chelsea strikers to top the Premier League's scoring charts in the last 20 years, and he believes he knows why Argentinian striker Gonzalo Higuain (four goals in 14 games) has struggled since his loan move from Juventus in January.
Hasselbaink said: "You need to be at your physical peak in the Premier League. It's a lot quicker and more physical than the Italian Serie A or Spanish LaLiga.
"Higuain is (31), he needs time to adapt... If he was 26 and arrived in the Premier League, it would have been easier for him, and I am sure he would have done well."

What's next for crippled Spurs?

LONDON â€¢ Absolutely devastating. That was the reaction of former Tottenham forward Chris Waddle to the news Harry Kane would be ruled out for at least two months after suffering ankle ligament damage during the 1-0 Premier League loss to Manchester United over the weekend.
Spurs' prospects of winning a first trophy under manager Mauricio Pochettino this season suffered a significant blow on Tuesday when the club announced Kane - the league's joint-top scorer on 14 goals - was "expected to return to training in early March".
"Following preliminary assessments, we can confirm that @HKane has damaged ligaments in his left ankle," an official Spurs tweet read. "He will continue to be monitored by our medical staff as he commences rehabilitation."
The England captain tweeted in response that while "injuries are part of the game, no one will be working harder to get back fit".
The talismanic striker could possibly miss 12 matches, including a potential League Cup final, both legs of their Champions League last-16 tie against Borussia Dortmund, and seven league games, as Spurs strive to keep up with leaders Liverpool and Manchester City.
The 25-year-old is no stranger to ankle problems, having endured time on the sidelines in the last three years and missing seven weeks in 2016 in what was his most significant spell out.
However, with Tottenham 1-0 up in the first leg of their League Cup semi-final against Chelsea, his absence this time is untimely.
Pochettino, who has yet to deliver silverware since joining the club in 2014, is already without Son Heung-min - potentially until Feb 1 - while he plays for South Korea at the Asian Cup, and he has ruled out reintroducing out-of-favour Vincent Janssen to the first team.
That leaves Lucas Moura, who should return at Fulham on Sunday after knee trouble, and Fernando Llorente - who has in effect been available for transfer and has been the subject of interest from Barcelona - as his strike options for the foreseeable future.
The club had not anticipated entering the market this month and it remains to be seen if that policy shifts in the wake of Kane's injury.
Waddle told BBC Radio 5 Live it was now imperative for Spurs to bolster their front line in the transfer window and prevent their season from petering out.
He said: "I'm sure they're looking around Europe. Could they get someone on loan to tick them over until the end of the season?"
However, The Mirror claimed that Spurs could instead splash the cash with Bournemouth's Callum Wilson mooted as a possibility.
While the Cherries have reportedly slapped a Â£75 million (S$130.6 million) asking price on the England forward to ward off any suitors, Sky Sports said Spurs have "admired" the 26-year-old for some time.
His nine league goals in 20 appearances this season have fired his club to mid-table safety and Sky Sports pundit Liam Rosenior felt Wilson would be the "perfect fit" to fill Kane's shoes.
The former Brighton defender added: "He is of a profile where he would be delighted to have the chance to play for a club like Spurs.
"He gives them the pace to run in behind. I wouldn't be surprised if they put a marker down, and show they want to keep Pochettino and build for the future."

Football: PSG coach Thomas Tuchel hits out at Neymar after fan attack at French Cup final

FRANCE (AFP) - Thomas Tuchel on Monday (April 29) blasted Neymar for hitting a fan who insulted Paris Saint-Germain players as they filed up to collect their French Cup losers' medals.
A 28-year-old delivery driver from Nantes had been filming the PSG players and making less than flattering comments about them when a simmering Neymar grabbed the hand that held the mobile phone and shoved it towards the fan's face.
"I don't like it. You can't do that, you just can't do that," Tuchel said of the incident, which was caught on video by fans at the Stade de France.
Neymar lashed out on Saturday after his side threw away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Rennes before losing the penalty shootout 6-5 after extra time.
"It's not easy to go up the steps after a defeat. It's very difficult for me, for everybody, but we have to accept it," Tuchel added.
"If we lose, we have to show respect. You can't get into a fight with a spectator."
The blow continued a bad-tempered end to the evening for PSG. Neymar's strike partner Kylian Mbappe was sent off for a dreadful tackle with two minutes left in extra time.
The defeat ended PSG's four-year reign in the French Cup and means that, while they have retained the French league title, they have won none of the cups they entered this season, with the most painful their exit at the last-16 stage of the Champions League to Manchester United.
"Did I act badly?" Neymar asked in an Instagram comment. "Yes. But no one can stay indifferent."
Neymar is now awaiting punishment from France's football authorities to go along with the three-match ban Uefa slapped him with on Friday for his foul-mouthed tirade following PSG's defeat to United.
European football's governing body sanctioned the 27-year-old after he told match officials "to go f*** yourselves" following United's 3-1 second-leg win at the Parc des Princes, won by the Premier League side thanks to a controversial penalty awarded via the video assistant referee system.

Football: Ranieri axed by Premier League strugglers Fulham

LONDON (AFP) - Claudio Ranieriâ€™s brief spell as manager of Premier League strugglers Fulham ended on Thursday (Feb 28) when the Italian was sacked after only four months in charge.
The 67-year-old Italian, who memorably guided Leicester City to the 2016 Premier League title, failed to ignite a Fulham revival after he replaced the sacked Slavisa Jokanovic in November.
He was in charge for just 16 league games but won only three, and Wednesdayâ€™s 2-0 defeat to Southampton left them second from bottom, 10 points adrift of safety with 10 matches remaining.
That loss at St Maryâ€™s was the final straw as Fulhamâ€™s travelling fans chanted â€œyou donâ€™t know what youâ€™re doingâ€ at Ranieri.
Former Chelsea boss Ranieri had been labelled â€˜risk-freeâ€™ appointment by Fulham owner Shahid Khan.
But unhappy Fulham supporters unveiled a banner at Southampton that read: â€œRisk free? Are you watching Tony Khan?â€, in a pointed reference to the Fulham ownerâ€™s son, who takes a major role in club policy.
â€œFollowing our discussion this afternoon, Claudio Ranieri agreed to my decision that a change was in the best interest of everyone,â€ Shahid Khan said in a statement.
Khan, whose investment of over Â£100million in new players in the close season after they were promoted to the Premier League has backfired spectacularly, said Ranieri behaved like a â€œperfect gentlemanâ€ during the talks.
â€œClaudioâ€™s tenure at Fulham didnâ€™t produce the outcome we anticipated and needed when I appointed him as manager in November, but be assured he is not solely to blame for the position we are in today,â€ said Khan.
â€œClaudio walked into a difficult situation, inheriting a side that gained only one point in its prior eight matches, and he provided an immediate boost by leading our club to nine points in his first eight matches as manager.
â€œThough we were unable to maintain that pace thereafter, I am grateful for his effort.â€ .

Last throw of the dice

Ranieri, who was sacked by Leicester months after their fairytale title success, said he was sad the good start the club had made under his charge had not been maintained.
â€œI am obviously disappointed with the recent results and that we could not build on the good start we made following my appointment,â€ said Ranieri, who took over at a time when Fulham had secured just one point from their previous eight matches.
The Cottagers were promoted to the Premier League last season with a reputation for free-flowing football, but that attacking style was exposed in the top-flight, with the clubâ€™s Â£100 million spree on new signings failing to deliver the required quality.
Former England midfielder Scott Parker â€“ who ended his playing career at Fulham â€“ is to be the caretaker manager in one last desperate throw of the dice from the west Londoners.
â€œScottâ€™s immediate assignment is merely to help us stabilise, grow and rediscover ourselves as a football club,â€ said Khan.
â€œIf Scott can answer that challenge, and our players respond to the opportunity, perhaps victories will follow in the months ahead.â€Â
Ranieri is the sixth Premier League manager to lose his job this season and comes just days after Claude Puel was sacked by Leicester â€“ Jokanovic, Mark Hughes (Southampton), Jose Mourinho (Manchester United) and David Wagner (Huddersfield) being the other casualties.

Football: Sala's missing plane found, say investigators

LONDON (AFP) - The missing plane carrying Argentinian footballer Emiliano Sala and his pilot has been found, investigators told AFP on Sunday (Feb 3).
"I can confirm it has been found," a spokeswoman for Britain's Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) said.
She said the AAIB would issue a statement on Monday.
Sala was travelling from France to join up with his new club, Premier League side Cardiff City, in a light aircraft on Jan 21 when it went missing close to the Channel Islands.
Suspected debris from the plane washed up on the Normandy coastline in France last Wednesday.
Sala was flying in the Piper PA-46 Malibu plane after transferring from French team Nantes in a â‚¬17 million (S$30 million) move.
It vanished from radar around 20km north of Guernsey, with pilot Dave Ibbotson the only other person aboard.

Wreckage of the plane carrying Emiliano Sala and piloted by David Ibbotson was located early this morning by the FPV MORVEN. As agreed with the AAIB they moved the GEO OCEAN III over the position we provided them to visually identify the plane by ROV. #EmilianoSalaâ€” David Mearns (@davidlmearns) February 3, 2019

The families of Emiliano Sala and David Ibbotson have been notified by Police. The AAIB will be making a statement tomorrow. Tonight our sole thoughts are with the families and friends of Emiliano and David. #EmilianoSalas #NoDejenDeBuscarAEmilianoSalaâ€” David Mearns (@davidlmearns) February 3, 2019

David Mearns, whose private company, Blue Water Recoveries, was hired by Sala's family to search for the plane, said on Twitter that the wreck was spotted early on Sunday.

Eriksen ready for 'something new' away from Spurs

Eriksen ready for 'something new' away from Spurs
LONDON â€¢ Christian Eriksen yesterday confirmed the worst-kept secret at Tottenham - that he wants to take on a new challenge at another club this summer.
The Denmark midfielder, who has been at Spurs since joining from Ajax in 2013, has one year to run on his current contract and has shown no inclination to renew for another cycle in north London.
Spurs cannot afford to allow him to run down his deal and leave as a free agent next summer, given his high value at arguably the peak of his career and the fact that they have repayments to make on their new stadium.
Consequently, they have let it be known in recent weeks that he would be available at a price, albeit an extremely high one.
Chairman Daniel Levy has quoted Â£130 million (S$225.4 million) for him, which might seem like wishful thinking, but it offers an impression of where he is drawing the lines for negotiations.
While the 27-year-old Eriksen has repeatedly refused to discuss his next move with reporters, he told Danish daily Ekstra Bladet that he was now "at a stage of my career where I would like to try something new".
He said: "I have the deepest respect for everything that is happening at Tottenham and it would not be something negative to stay.
"I hope that something will be decided this summer. That is the plan. In football, you never know when there could be a decision like that. It could be at any point. The best thing is always for it to happen quickly but in football, things take time."
Eriksen has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid, who are looking to add marquee signings when the transfer window opens on July 1 after a desperately disappointing season, and he admitted the Spanish giants were a "step up" from Spurs.
He added: "Then it would take Real Madrid picking up the phone and making contact with Tottenham and say that they want Christian.
"And that they haven't done as far as I know. It all depends on Daniel Levy and there has to be another club too. Or I will sit down myself at the table and negotiate a new contract. You can't set a date yourself.
"There aren't many boxes that Tottenham don't tick so if I have to move away, it would have to be a step up."
Asked whether he would seek to run down his contract, Eriksen said: "That is difficult to say. It depends on the possibilities. If there are no exciting offers, why shouldn't I stay at Tottenham?
"If I then sign a new contract, (it) depends on the conditions."

Spurs' drive to succeed

LONDON â€¢ In 2016, Daniel Levy gave Mauricio Pochettino a Bentley Bentayga as a "sign of appreciation" to him for turning down Manchester United, who went on to appoint Jose Mourinho.
With Tottenham having made history this season after reaching their first Champions League semi-final, one would imagine the club chairman is preparing an even more outlandish present, especially if Spurs go on to do the unthinkable and claim silverware this season.
However, Pochettino remains "fearful" that Levy will take back his Â£160,000 (S$282,000) gift.
Ahead of today's Premier League home match against relegation-threatened Brighton, where a win will boost their hopes of securing a top-four place, he jokingly called the luxury car "more like a loan".
The Spurs boss said: "We'll see if it was a present at the end of my contract here (which ends in 2023). I will tell you if it was a present or to only give me the facility to drive. Maybe on the last day, he says, 'Mauricio, give me the keys!'.
"We hope we can keep going, getting the same result. It is going to be fantastic and it is going to be helpful for us playing in the new stadium with our fans.
"We hope and wish to repeat the performances of the previous results... We are not thinking of Ajax (next week). Now our energy is in Brighton."
But, while Levy remains one of the more tight-fisted power brokers, having signed zero players in the last two transfer windows, he is keenly aware of the impact Pochettino has had, with Spurs punching above their weight in comparison to their bigger-spending rivals.
Securing Champions League football for a fourth consecutive season will help Spurs to fend off any would-be suitors in the summer, and defender Ben Davies has called on his teammates to "kick on and try to win every game between now and the end of the season".
The Wales international added: "That's the target and it starts against Brighton on Tuesday. It will be tough, they are fighting for everything... We have to be ready."
The 25-year-old is expecting the feel-good factor from their new Â£1 billion Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to continue to provide a lift, with three wins in as many matches, while scoring seven goals and conceding none.
In other good news, captain Hugo Lloris will return from injury, although Moussa Sissoko is ruled out.
It also bodes well that their opponents have failed to score in their last five league matches.
Seagulls boss Chris Hughton has been forced to defend his players, whom critics have accused of "downing tools".
He told reporters ahead of their trip to his former club: "Absolutely, that's not the case. We have to find formulas and pull out results to get the points that we need."
"I have lots of memories as a (Spurs) player and as a coach. How much I'll enjoy it will be down to the performance the team put in, but I'm hoping I can enjoy it."
