Aston Villa 4-2 Birmingham City: Hosts claim bragging rights by winning entertaining Second City derby
Alan Hutton scored a superb solo goal to seal Aston Villa’s 4-2 defeat of Birmingham in Sunday’s Second City derby.The defender held off four challenges during a 60-yard run before finishing into the far corner to net just his third goal in seven years.3Quickfire strikes from Jonathan Kodjia and Jack Grealish put Villa ahead after Lukas Jutkiewicz opened the scoring for Blues.Che Adams hit the post with the visitors leading 1-0 before Villa’s turnaround and Tammy Abraham’s penalty made it 3-1 after the restart.Kristian Pedersen pulled a goal back but Birmingham remain winless at Villa Park since 2004.Villa climbed to eighth, now four points adrift of the Sky Bet Championship play-offs, while Blues remain 12th.Birmingham were solid, having lost just once in their last 13 games, and frustrated Villa before an even game burst into life with three goals in 11 minutes.3The hosts gifted the visitors their first Villa Park goal since April 2008 with two awful pieces of defending after 28 minutes.First, James Chester presented the ball to Adams and conceded a corner.Villa then allowed Jutkiewicz to run completely unchecked from the edge of the box to meet Connor Mahoney’s cross and volley in through Abraham’s legs.Birmingham smelt blood and a stretching Adams hit the post but within four minutes Villa turned the game around to lead.Albert Adomah provided both goals as he first crossed for Kodjia to control and smash in from 10 yards after 37 minutes. Then Grealish raced off the back of the Blues defence to meet Adomah’s delicious delivery from point blank range to put the hosts ahead.The momentum was with Villa and Abraham made it 3-1 from the spot six minutes after the break.He was dragged down by Michael Morrison as they scrapped for Adomah’s cross and the Chelsea loanee picked himself up to send Lee Camp the wrong way for his seventh goal of the season.Villa went for the kill and Kodjia fired over from 20 yards but the visitors hit back after 57 minutes when Pedersen volleyed in Adams’ cross from 10 yards.3Adams fired straight at Orjan Nyland soon after before Villa lost Adomoah to a poor challenge from Wes Harding.Camp then tipped Conor Hourihane’s free-kick wide with Abraham heading the corner over.But Hutton’s stunning goal wrapped up the victory with 14 minutes left when he won the ball inside his own half and held off challenges from Jacques Maghoma and Craig Gardner.The Scotland international advanced into the area, stepped inside Harlee Dean and curled around Morrison for just his third Villa goal in 186 games.

Pele: The strange and bizarre claims made by the three-time World Cup winner, including Neymar and Messi comments
Pele is widely regarded as one of the best footballers to have ever played the game if not the best.He is still the only man to have won three World Cups and still holds the record for youngest player to feature in a final aged just 17.5The 78-year-old’s goal tally is the greatest in history with more than 1200 to his name, if you believe the man himself.His playing career was restricted to Brazil and America so his mystique and reputation always grew as not many had the chance to see him play compared to the modern day footballer. Pele has been known in his latter years to make some outlandish and weird claims, though, that range from the bizarre to the ridiculous.This week he issued one such claim on Twitter suggesting he had to leave an Elton John concert after being pointed out by the Watford honorary life president.

Happy birthday to Sir Elton John. I went to watch him live once. He pointed me out and I had to leave before the crowds got too big! // Feliz Aniversrio, @EltonOfficial. Quando fui a um show dele, e ele apontou para mim, tive que sair antes que a multido no ficasse grande. pic.twitter.com/tIN9SZ461f— Pel (@Pele) March 25, 2019

It’s one of many so here are some of the best of those claims.

Messi has one skill and he was better

The three-time World Cup winner criticised Lionel Messi in October last year by saying he is one-footed and cant be compared to him.5How can you make a comparison between a guy who heads the ball well, shoots with the left, shoots with the right and another who only shoots with one leg, only has one skill and doesnt head the ball well? he told Folha de Sao Paulo.

Neymar is an ordinary footballer

Back in 2013, Pele was not a fan of Neymar and launched a scathing attack on the forward for under-performing.For the national team, hes just an ordinary player, Pele told O Estado de Sao Paulo.5Hes got a huge responsibility and his greatest concern is to change his style, change his haircut.His opinions do seem to have changed over time and he claimed last year that Neymar was better than Messi and Ronaldo.

The crying goalkeeper

Once, in a match in Senegal, the goalkeeper cried so much after I scored that he had to be substituted! He had lost a big bet! // Em uma partida em Senegal, eu lembro que o goleiro chorou tanto depois do gol que ele teve que ser substitudo. Ele perdeu uma grande aposta! pic.twitter.com/OXjeg8ApIj— Pel (@Pele) February 25, 2019

Blatter is the best man for Fifa

When Sepp Blatter was up for a fifth term as Fifa president in 2015, Pele gave him his backing.His reasoning was that he was the candidate with the most experience despite crisis engulfing the organisation.He said: I was in favour. It was necessary because it is better to have people with experience. Hes a man who has been there for 25 years, you have to respect him, it was an election.5

Peles claimed goal tally

The 78-year-old claims to have scored 1283 goals during his career but Fifa only recognises 784 of them.The other 526 came in unofficial friendlies and tour games.In comparison, Messi has a total of 677 goals for club and country during his career.

The referee who sent himself off

I once got sent off in a game against Colombia. The decision was so unpopular with the crowd that the referee then sent himself off! // Certa vez eu joguei contra a Colmbia e o rbitro me expulsou. A deciso foi to impopular com a torcida que ele tambm teve que sair de campo! pic.twitter.com/KaR5CyDZfJ— Pel (@Pele) August 23, 2018

His most famous goal that theres no footage of

The favourite goal of his career was one he scored in 1959 as an 18-year-old against Atletico Juventus but it was not captured on camera.Instead, an animated version of the goal was recreated based upon his description.

Nicky Barmby to be a world star

Pele predicted that Barmby would be up there with Zidane, Maldini and Ronaldo when he was just 21-years-old.He went on to make just 23 international appearances and never played at a World Cup.

Nii Lamptey prediction

Pele suggested Lamptey would be his natural successor after watching him play in 1989.His career took on a nomadic existence and he played for 13 clubs during his career but only played around 169 games.5

His World Cup predictions

If Pele chooses you to do well at the World Cup, then its bad news.He predicted Spain to win the 1998 competition but went out in the group stages.For the 2002 World Cup, he said Argentina and France would reach the final but both were eliminated in the first round.He also said Brazil would not get out of the group stages but they won the whole tournament.Pele also claimed that an African nation would win the World Cup before 2000, and we are still waiting for a team to reach the semi-final.Cameroon, Ghana and Senegal have all reached the quarters but not got any further.

Neil Warnock backed by Sam Allardyce, who criticises Jamie Carragher for defending very poor officials in Cardiff vs Chelsea game
Sam Allardyce has backed Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock for his furious reaction to his sides controversial defeat to Chelsea on Sunday.The former England manager also took aim at Jamie Carragher, after the Liverpool legend came to the defence of the linesman who failed to spot Cesar Azpilicueta was offside for the Blues vital equaliser.2Chelsea came back from a goal down to beat Cardiff 2-1 through two late goals.Warnock was absolutely fuming with match day officials, claiming their poor performance at the Cardiff City Stadium cost his relegation-threatened side crucial points in their fight for survival.The veteran boss then sparked controversy by telling talkSPORT on Monday his wife said she wouldnt have stopped him punching the referee if he wanted to, and went on a lengthy rant against the state of refereeing in the Premier League. But while some people have criticised Warnock for his strong reaction, Big Sam said he had every right to be angry as there is more than just football at stake if Cardiff go down this season.For the manager to keep his cool when something like that happens is virtually impossible, Allardyce said on Tuesdays Sports Breakfast.When youre holding so much responsibility in your hands and somebody makes a very, very poor decision like thatHe shouldnt have made that decision, and to say he couldnt see it was unacceptable.I agree with Neil you know whats riding on that? Anything between 100 and 120 jobs, because if Cardiff go down they will be cutting costs across the board.Peoples livelihoods will be finished and youre responsible for that as a manager, to keep the team winning, to keep the club in the Premier League and keep all those people in employment.2We just think about the players, yet the players will get sold on and move on its the staff who will get cut down and 50 or 60 or them will be made redundant.Allardyce also believes Carragher was wrong to make an excuse for the officials, after he used a VR headset on Sky Sports to apparently prove it was impossible for the linesman to spot that Azpilicueta was offside for his goal.Big Sam added: Jamie Carragher can do what he wants with his headset, brilliant, but hes making an excuse for the assistant referee and he shouldnt.

"As a manager it's impossible to not be angry at that." "@Carra23 can have his VR headset but he's making an excuse for the linesman when he shouldn't have an excuse."Sam Allardyce says Neil Warnock is right to be as angry as he is over the Chelsea result. pic.twitter.com/5KAKiOnrqa— talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) April 2, 2019

West Ham transfer news: Andy Carroll will NOT be sold in the January window, says Manuel Pellegrini
Manuel Pellegrini insists Andy Carroll will NOT be sold in the January transfer window.The West Ham United striker has recently returned from an ankle problem, the latest setback in a injury-strewn career.2However, his physical style and lack of mobility has seen him struggle to have an impact in Pellegrini’s new-look side.Against Brighton and Hove Albion, he was withdrawn after just 45 minutes as the Hammers claimed a 2-2 draw and his contract is up in the summer.Despite this, Pellegrini insisted the striker (who turns 30 on Sunday) is still a hue part of his plans.When asked if he expected to lose Carroll this month, the Hammers boss said: “I don’t think so. I think Andy will stay here with us, he is an important player for our team.“He is just coming back from a long, long injury, and the way he is taking advantage of his minutes he will return to the player that we all know.”2 Carroll is likely to start against Birmingham City on Saturday in the FA Cup clash at the London Stadium.Pellegrini is also likely to give a debut to new signing Samir Nasri, who signed on New Year’s Eve on a free transfer.The 31-year-old former Manchester City and Arsenal midfielder completed his move once his 18-month doping ban was completed.

How Tottenham Hotspur star Dele Alli compares to Premier League legends Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard at the same age
Dele Alli burst onto the scene as an 18-year-old for MK Dons against Manchester United and has not looked back since.The midfielder dominated the EFL Cup game as the Dons, only founded a decade earlier, dumped the Premier League giants out.8Since then, Alli’s rise has been meteoric as he made both his Premier League and England debuts in 2015 under the guidance of Mauricio Pochettino at Tottenham Hotspur.As with every prodigious English talent, the comparisons have come thick and fast for Alli, who celebrated his 23rd birthday on Thursday.A goalscorer blessed with wonderful technique, correlations between Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard began to be drawn.But while Alli represents a modern attacking midfielder capable of drifting between the lines and into the box, the aforementioned pair of Premier League legends were utilised in more traditional central midfield roles.8However, Gerrard and Lampard possessed the talent and diligence to cement their reputations as some of the best ever seen in the English top-flight.But is Alli on course to replicate or even surpass those legends of the game?Thanks to transfremarkt.com, we have been able to break down every season all three enjoyed up until their 23rd birthday (the same age as Alli).Scroll down to see how the talented trio compare in all club competitions.8As we can see, the years of League One football with MK Dons have helped build up Dele Alli from scrawny teen into Premier League superstar.As well as gaining valuable experience, the teenager was prolific from midfield and scored and created plenty of chances for the likes of Benik Afobe – who scored 10 goals in the first half of the 2014/15 season.Conversely, Gerrard and Lampard have far more modest stats as their careers began slowly, before reaching a raucous crescendo.At West Ham (and with a brief loan spell at Swansea City) Lampard was thrust into the world of senior football with a mid-table Premier League side. As a result, he played significantly more times than the younger Gerrard, who had to fight to get his way into a star-studded Liverpool team.8With the likes of England internationals Jamie Redknapp and Paul Ince in his way, the Reds fan had to wait for his chance to break into his preferred central midfield role.Indeed, Gerrard’s lack of goal and assists can be attributed to his early position. Such was his versatility and athleticism, the youngster made his bow as a right-back.After being given a torrid time by David Ginola in just his second game, Roy Evans allowed the starlet to make a name for himself in his preferred central midfield role and it is safe to say he never looked back.Given much of Alli’s early career was played in the lower leagues, it is perhaps more prevalent to focus specifically on Premier League involvement, for the purpose of a fair test to get more accurate results for comparisons.8As we can see, Alli is still way ahead of both Lampard and Gerrard statistically at the same age. His Premier League record for someone so young is exceptional and, provided he can remain fit, the midfielder should reach his half-century in the league by 2020.However, there are always mitigating circumstances to be considered which go beyond just stats and figures.As mentioned at the very beginning of this article, Lampard and Gerrard did not play in more advanced roles until much later in their careers. While at Chelsea, Lampard escaped accusations of nepotism from bitter Hammers fans to become one of the best goalscoring midfielders in history.And Gerrard’s versatility meant he was often deployed in more defensive roles (he made his England debut against Ukraine at the back). One interesting statistic to look at from the Premier League stats above is the former Liverpool captain’s disciplinary record.8So determined was Gerrard determination to lay down a marker on his opponent, the enthusiasm quickly escalated into recklessness and suspensions.Academy director Steve Heighway spoke to his father to learn where the anger came from, even sending the starlet to a sports psychologist after leaving his mark on Evertons Kevin Campbell and Gary Naysmith, Chelseas Dennis Wise and Graeme Le Saux and Aston Villas George Boateng.The midfielder also struggled from the type of injury problems Alli himself is now experiencing. Muscle strains from a rapid growth spurt saw him endure hamstring and groin strains.Alli himself was ruled out at the start of 2019 after a hamstring strain and he can often be seen wearing brightly coloured ‘Kinesio Tape’ at the top of his legs to combat muscular injuries.8Suspensions and injuries blighted Gerrard’s early career, but the same cannot be said for Alli. Although he has unfairly gained a reputation for being a hot-head, he has never seen red in the Premier League.Like Lampard, the midfielder prefers to focus on his own game, which is built off of drifting into the opposition box. However, Alli is naturally more athletic than Lampard and his speed and agility have seen him grab more goals than the midfielder at this stage.Ultimately, what will define Alli and his legacy will be his trophy collection. At present, the midfielder has just the promotion with MK Dons in 2015 to celebrate after falling short in the league and Champions League with Spurs.Conversely, Lampard and Gerrard both achieved tremendous amounts in the game at club level. Both men have lifted the Champions League trophy against the odds, with FA Cup and League Cup victories as well.8To conclude, Gerrard and Lampard displayed incredible tenacity and determination to get to the very top of the sport.Although they may not have had the natural talent of Alli, both men were serial winners and their hard work and dedication pushed them to become two of the finest midfielders in the world.But, as the numbers suggest, the Tottenham Hotspur midfielder is on course to eclipse them. That is, provided a lucrative offer from abroad does not lure him away from the English top-flight.

Everton vs Liverpool: The miserable winless streak Toffees will be hoping to end on Sunday
Everton fans have waited nearly nine years to taste victory over Merseyside rivals Liverpool.The neighbouring clubs go head-to-head on Sunday as the Toffees bid not only to put a huge dent in the Reds’ title challenge, but also to end their longest winless streak against Liverpool in history.3Their last victory came in October 2010 – a 2-0 win in the Premier League at Goodison Park – and the two sides have met 18 times since then in all competitions.Liverpool have got the better of the Toffees on nine of those occasions, with the other nine ending in draws.When Silva was asked what it would take to win on Sunday, he said: “We have to be ourselves, believe in ourselves.“Of course it is a long period without a win for us as a football club. It shows us it is a difficult match.3“If we can perform at the level we did last December, it will be very good.“If I could sign now to perform in the same way, I would sign straight (away) because it means we will be really close to winning the match, because in that match we deserved something more.”Marco Silva’s men enter the game with some momentum, following a convincing 3-0 victory at Cardiff on Tuesday night, however their form this season has been indifferent. A run of three consecutive defeats preceded the win against the Bluebirds, while Liverpool are unbeaten in their last eight games.Jurgen Klopp’s men have rediscovered some form of their own, thrashing Watford 5-0 on Wednesday to dispel any doubts surrounding their nerve in this compelling title race with Manchester City.Everton would love to be the ones who stopped their bitter local rivals from winning a first top-flight title since 1990, but first they must rectify their terrible record in recent Merseyside derbies.3Besides the miserable lack of wins, the Toffees have also struggled for goals, failing to score in nine of the last 16 meetings with the Reds in the Premier League.Meanwhile, Klopp has never experienced defeat in this fixture, nor has any member of his current squad.
