Pela 3ª rodada do Campeonato Alagoano, no estádio Rei Pelé, o CSA atropelou o CEO pelo placar de 5 a 0. O Azulão foi melhor do começo ao fim, mas conseguiu fazer os cinco gols somente na segunda etapa. Destaque para Dellatorre, que fez dois gols. Com o resultado, o CSA assume temporariamente a ponta da tabela com 7 pontos. O CEO permanece na 7ª posição, com apenas 1 ponto ganho.

A partida
CSA CARIMBA O TRAVESSÃO LOGO DE CARA O CSA começou o jogo mostrando para o CEO quem manda no estádio Rei Pelé. João Victor cruzou certinho na pequena área, Marco Túlio subiu bem e cabeceou firme, Matheus conseguiu espalmar. A bola ainda “beijou” o travessão antes de sair.
AZULÃO MANDA NO JOGO, MAS NÃO CONSEGUE MARCAR O time do CSA continuou dominando o jogo e pressionando de forma incessante durante todo o primeiro tempo. Mas a falta de pontaria na hora da finalização e o sistema defensivo da equipe do CEO foram determinantes para que a etapa inicial terminasse sem gols.
CSA COMEÇA PRESSIONANDO NO SEGUNDO TEMPO E CONSEGUE O GOL O Azulão voltou ainda mais determinado a fazer o gol na etapa complementar. Em 5 minutos, foram três chances criadas: a primeira foi no travessão, a segunda passou tirando tinta da trave e terceira saiu o gol. Vitor Costa cruzou na área, Dellatorre foi oportunista e chegou chutando para abrir o marcado: 1 a 0 para o CSA.
CINCO MINUTOS, O SEGUNDO GOL DO AZULÃO O time do CEO nem tinha ainda conseguido digerir o primeiro gol tomado e já tomou, cinco minutos depois, o segundo gol. Em falta da entrada da área, Fabrício soltou uma bomba, a bola explodiu na trave e entrou: 2 a 0 para o CSA.
CEO TENTA SE DEFENDER, MAS CSA ENCONTRA OS GOLS E GOLEIA NA FINAL DO JOGO O CSA continuou muito melhor e dominando o jogo. O CEO fazia de tudo e mais um pouco para não tomar mais gols. Mas o Azulão era insistente, permaneceu pressionando e encontrou três gols nos últimos 15 minutos do jogo. Aos 32, após cruzamento, Dellatorre marcou de cabeça. Aos 36, Bruno Mota aproveitou cruzamento rasteiro e fez o 4º gol. E o placar foi fechado com Silas, aos 38 da segunda etapa: 5 a 0.

The CSK captain has hit 554 runs in 227 balls in the 20th over of an IPL match. That’s 13% of all the runs he’s made in this tournament
ESPNcricinfo staff01-May-20192:55
MS Dhoni’s top 5 last-over heists
MS Dhoni has hit 554 runs in 227 balls in the 20th over of an IPL match. That’s 13% of all the runs he’s ever made in this tournament. How does he do it?”Watch the ball, hit the ball,” the CSK captain told after putting in a sensational performance to beat Delhi Capitals in their last home game of the 2019 season. “Also by that time, you’ve spent enough time to know what are the variations that are really working on that wicket, how is it coming onto the batsmen, whether you can play a few shots that are maybe not your stronger points. I think by 20th over you’re almost ready and you swing at everything.”ESPNcricinfo Ltd
Dhoni’s been especially aggressive this season, hitting 70 runs off 21 final-over deliveries. That translates to a strike-rate of 333. So it was fairly straightforward that he would call Ambati Rayudu through for a sneaky single after the new batsman was beaten outside the off stump by Trent Boult.Once he was back on strike, Dhoni sent the last two balls of innings for sixes and finished with 44 off 22. At the start of the 19th over, he was 13 off 12″It’s easier for somebody to play 10-15 deliveries than somebody who has just come in to bat. It was just holding on a bit. It was not a wicket where it was coming on nicely and I felt it was slightly difficult for Rayudu to come and hit and [wicketkeeper] Rishabh [Pant] helped, he didn’t take the gloves off [Dhoni does that a lot to prevent giving away such runs when he’s behind the wicket] and that gave me an extra few seconds to finish my run.”In addition to his usual big-hitting exploits, Dhoni showcased immense skill in the field, stumping Chris Morris and Shreyas Iyer even though their back feet had barely risen from the ground.MS magic – Dhoni pulled off two outstanding stumpings within three balls, both off Ravindra Jadeja•BCCI
He managed to catch them out largely thanks to his unique technique of waiting for the ball with his hands right on top of the stumps. Other wicketkeepers have a little give – cushioning the ball by swinging the hands back before thrusting them forward to clip the bails – but Dhoni doesn’t. He collects the ball and clips the bails. No back swing.”It’s something that has come from tennis-ball cricket which I’ve played a lot,” Dhoni said. “But you need to do the basics right first and then graduate to the next level. I feel if you want to keep like that, then this is what you practice. You may commit a lot of errors so what’s important is you stick to the basics and then get to the advanced course. If you can reduce the time where you can clip the bails off, it always helps.”After the game, Dhoni went around the ground, hitting tennis balls into the crowd and thanking them for their support. But just before that, he was asked whether he liked being called .”I’ve always said it’s very special to get that kind of a nickname. It’s a big nickname that has been given to me. It feels truly special. I never realised it was part of the first song that was made on CSK, that was part of it. And after hearing it, I realised [how important it is]. And the way I got accepted, the whole of Tamil Nadu, down south, it’s always that they yell [not my name] and the moment I hear it, I know he’s a fan of CSK and that he definitely comes from down south and he’s slightly different. It feels special. At the same time, they’ve been very nice not only to me but to the whole team. So a big thanks to them.”
Among those who desperately need January reinforcements is undoubtedly Newcastle United. The Magpies have seen any progress they made last season, which saw them reach the Carabao Cup final and qualify for the Champions League, come to a crashing halt in brutal fashion. Cursed with injuries and suffering the consequences of failing to recruit enough squad depth, Newcastle could now turn to the transfer market.
Eddie Howe's side have a matter of months to turn their season around from mid-table stagnation in the Premier League to the joys of European qualification once more. And reports suggest that they're not messing around in pursuit of that goal, having made an approach to sign a rising star up front.
Newcastle transfer news
Heading into the season with just three recognised centre-backs and two strikers was always going to come back to haunt a Newcastle side left balancing European and domestic football this season.
As injuries have piled up, Howe has gradually run out of solutions, resulting in defeats against the likes of Nottingham Forest and Luton Town. With the January transfer window now open, however, those at St James' Park can make up for their summer failure by landing one of this season's standouts in the Premier League.
Dominic Solanke scores in Bournemouth's away victory against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
According to Mike McGrath of The Telegraph, Newcastle have made an approach for Dominic Solanke, who is a forward at the top of his game this season. The Cherries, however, have reportedly issued an instant rejection to the Magpies in an attempt to keep hold of their goalscorer until at least the end of the current campaign.
As the window progresses, Solanke will certainly be one to keep an eye on, as interest in his signature continues to come from those sitting among England's elite. In the middle of his best season to date, the Chelsea academy graduate could earn another chance at a big move this season.
"Outstanding" Solanke can surpass Wilson
At 31-years-old, Callum Wilson is gradually edging past the peak of his powers for Newcastle, bringing the need for a replacement. And Solanke could not only be the perfect replacement for the England international, but he could even be an upgrade. Potentially making the same move as Wilson – going from Bournemouth to Newcastle – Solanke's stats show that he has outperformed both Wilson and Alexander Isak this season, not just in goals but in over-performing the chances available to him.

Solanke has earned deserved praise for his performances this season, including from Paul Merson, who said: “I had Solanke (but picked Haaland). But I did pick this (Team of the Season) before the last week (hat-trick). I think he has been outstanding. I think he went to Liverpool a bit early. Didn’t perform. Got behind the eight ball. Went to Bournemouth and now I think he has been outstanding. I think he has been a threat. I wouldn’t be surprised if he carries on doing what he is doing he gets a move.”
Wolverhampton Wanderers are on a wonderful run of form that has seen them secure three Premier League wins in a row following their defeat to West Ham United prior to Christmas, along with progression to the next round of the FA Cup.
Gary O’Neil has got his side playing well and getting results, but it is clear he will need to add another forward or two to his squad over the next couple of weeks.
Fabio Silva and Sasa Kalajdzic have been loaned out, while Hwang Hee-Chan is at the Asian Cup with South Korea and their forward options are looking sparse, to say the least.
There have been a fair number of players linked with a move to the Old Gold, yet the latest name rumoured to be on their radar is a player who is currently thriving in the Championship…
Wolves’ search for a new striker
According to Football Insider, Wolves are among a handful of teams showing Bristol City striker Tommy Conway with regard to making a potential swoop for the youngster.
The likes of Glasgow Rangers and Celtic are keen on taking him north of the border, while fellow Premier League clubs Nottingham Forest and Brentford are monitoring the player who has starred for the second-tier outfit recently.
Tommy Conway for Bristol City.
The player still has 18 months left on his current contract, yet this could be the final chance for City to really rake in a big transfer fee for the centre-forward.
O’Neil needs someone who could arrive in the Midlands and contribute goals straight away and Conway might just be the ideal candidate for the job.
Latest Wolves transfer news: £60m Neto claim, exciting replacement eyed
What’s going on at Wolves now the window is finished? Catch the latest news and rumours here…
ByBrogan Clasper Feb 11, 2024
Not only that, but he could even be an upgrade on Kalajdzic, who struggled this term following his recovery from a serious knee injury.
Sasa Kalajdzic’s progress at Wolves
The Austrian titan was looked upon as a solid piece of transfer business by former manager Bruno Lage when he joined for a fee of £15.4m from German club Stuttgart in the summer of 2022.
The striker netted 22 Bundesliga goals in just 52 matches for the club, and it looked as though £15m was going to prove a bargain should he replicate these figures in England.
Missing the entirety of his debut season was not in the script, however, after he suffered a serious knee injury on his first start for the club.
The 26-year-old managed to recover and went on to make 13 appearances for the Old Gold before moving to Eintracht Frankfurt on loan, scoring three times, yet he only managed to start three games during the first half of the season, and it was clear O’Neil did not place his full trust in the striker.
Hopefully, he can recapture the magic which saw him become such a big hit at Stuttgart, and he returns to the Midlands in the summer ready to challenge for a berth in the starting XI.
Conway, however, could be a big upgrade on the Austrian, while five years younger, meaning the manager could have plenty of time to develop the raw frontman.
Tommy Conway could be an upgrade to Sasa Kalajdzic
The England-born Scotland U21 international not only has more goals than Kalajdzic this season (eight vs three) but he has also taken more shots per game (1.6 vs 0.4) and a higher expected goals stat (5.34 vs 1.07) as the youngster has clearly proven his clinical nature in the penalty box.
According to WhoScored, both Conway and Kalajdizc are excellent in the air, excelling at headed attempts and finishing, which indicates that the City striker could be a similar sort of player to the former Stuttgart forward should he join the club this month.
Tommy Conway celebrates for Bristol City.
His prowess in the opposition penalty area has been wonderful recently, and he has even been hailed as the next Jamie Vardy by his former manager Nigel Pearson following his excellent start to life in the Championship.
A move to Molineux could see him improve further, especially as he would be playing with far better players and O’Neil could certainly bring out the best in the 21-year-old who is surely destined for the top sooner rather than later.
What Tommy Conway can add to this Wolves team
The main answer is goals, and plenty of them if he is given enough chances in the penalty area.
The young sensation enjoyed a breakthrough season during 2022/23, scoring 12 goals and grabbing four assists across 38 matches, proving that he could be a standout in the City team.
Conway was even lauded as being on “absolute flames” by the Sky Sports commentary team during the early stages of his breakthrough season, and he has since carried this form into 2023/24.

He did miss nine matches due to a hamstring injury earlier this season, but Conway has still contributed with eight goals, enjoying his biggest success in the FA Cup against West Ham United recently.
He scored against the Premier League side in the first tie, which ended in a 1-1 draw, before netting the winner in the replay at Ashton Gate earlier this week and his performance was hailed as “clinical” by Statman Dave.
Conway even has three international caps for Scotland at U21 level – qualifying through his grandfather – and has managed to open his account already, netting against Norway in a game where he was even made captain, and his future looks bright, to say the least.
Wolves could bring him to the Premier League this month and give him an ideal platform to continue developing, and it could be a shrewd move for all parties.
City will secure a decent fee for a player they have helped nurture, while the Old Gold will land one of the brightest attacking talents in the second tier and potentially go on to rake in a profit on him in the coming years.
O’Neil may have to move a player or two on this month in order to fund a move for Conway, but in the long term, it could prove to be a smart investment by the club.
Tudo igual em São Januário. O Botafogo saiu na frente, o Vasco empatou nos minutos finais do jogo e o placar terminou empatado em 1 a 1. O Glorioso tomou o primeiro gol nesta temporada e o Cruz-Maltino ainda não venceu nos cinco jogos que fez no calendário do futebol de 2021.

Placar aberto O placar foi aberto aos 34 minutos, quando o Botafogo trocou passes na intermediária e, quando a bola chegou na esquerda, Matheus Frizzo cruzou. Zeca tentou cortar, mas a bola tomou o destino do gol e Lucão nada pôde fazer: Botafogo 1 a 0. Seis minutos depois, Gabriel Pec chutou de fora da área e o goleiro botafoguense novamente precisou trabalhar.

The Indian captain welcomed people having expectations from him, and brushed off concerns about Kuldeep Yadav’s form following a poor IPL 2019
ESPNcricinfo staff04-Jun-2019
Virat Kohli expects the Indians to cope with the conditions well enough•Getty Images
India are the last team to start their World Cup 2019 campaign, opening against South Africa on Wednesday, with every other team having played at least one game in the past week. Captain Virat Kohli felt starting late gave his side an advantage in sussing out conditions and strategies. Speaking on the eve of the match, he also welcomed the expectations people had of him, and how he has learned to go along with them.On being the last team to start their World Cup campaign It is a bit of an advantage, I have to say, in terms of understanding how the games have gone, what the conditions have to offer, what the overcast conditions bring into play when the sun is out. It’s a totally different ball game altogether, what the conditions are at 10.30 in the morning compared to the afternoon. I think from that point of view, we have a lot to absorb. We have a lot to learn from looking at how the other teams play.From that point of view, we would say that we have a lot of positives that we can take out of starting after everyone else.On Kedar Jadhav’s fitness Kedar is doing well, he is back to full fitness. Kedar is batting in the nets now, he is hitting the ball well, so it is always nice to have him back in the mix because of the variety he brings into the side.On whether there is pressure of scoring a century in the opening match, having done so in 2011 and 2015 When you perform for a long time, expectations are always there. I understand how to go along with the expectations rather than saying I’m not. You don’t go out there to prove anything to anyone, which is a fact, but you have to accept that expectations are going to be there.When I walk out to bat, come down the stairs, people will say “we need a hundred” and all those kind of things will happen. So, for me, that’s just a part of the process. It’s not something that I don’t want to hear, or something that I think people should not tell me because when you do well, people obviously want to see you do well again and again because they want to see the team win.So my focus is if I’m in a position to be able to do that again, but more importantly, make the team win. And if it takes a hundred runs, 150, 50, 60, 70, 40, whatever it is, I’m ready to do that and that’s the frame of mind I’m going to be in.On the 10.30am start time, and how it affects team combinations If the conditions offer you a lot in terms of the pitch.. we know it’s a different situation in England when there is a cloud cover and when there is sun out. With two new balls, if the pitch has something to offer, then an extra seamer comes into play big time.But even on a good pitch, on a batting-friendly pitch with two new balls, I foresee the first 10 overs to be challenging if there is cloud cover. Because we are playing in England and the ball does a bit more than any other place in the world.From bowling point of view, even if you play with two spinners, two seamers or three seamers, they are going to be in the game in the first half if you start at 10.30. The dynamics will change from morning to afternoon big time, and the bowlers will have to adapt very quickly.On Kuldeep Yadav’s weak IPL 2019 form I have had great IPL seasons and I have entered playing for the country and I have felt like, “I feel like I’m going to dominate this tournament so much” – and you can’t put bat to ball.So every tournament, every game that you play has no connection to what you have done in the past. You can only take out the positives and the learnings and take it to the next tournament or game that you play. Whether you have done well in the IPL or you haven’t, you still have to work hard. And to me, IPL has no connection to the World Cup.He’s a guy who has done so well in the last two years. I don’t think three or four games of a T20 tournament will do anything to harm his confidence.We know when he pitches the ball in the right areas the batsman has to make better decisions or you are walking out. And he’s back to bowling at his best. In the nets he is bowling well, attacking the stumps, his variations are spot on, he is pitching the ball in the right area. So I see batsmen having to take better decisions against Kuldeep rather than the other way around.
Arsenal vs Liverpool is a meeting between two of English football’s most decorated teams.
These two sides have played out some classics over the years, and we have taken a look back at some of the greatest clashes between the clubs.
For this list, we’ve picked out the top 8 matches, ordered solely by the amount of pure drama that has unfolded across meetings in the league, cup, and in Europe. There has certainly not been any shortage of that over the years…

The 2022/23 campaign saw both these clubs reverse their fortunes somewhat, as perennial title challengers Liverpool were eventually left to settle for a Europa League place, while the Gunners almost took champions Manchester City all the way in the race for the Premier League.
Back in the autumn of 2022, the Gunners were on a roll under Mikel Arteta, winning seven of their first eight games, with over twice as many points as their opponents heading into this one.
And the events on the pitch looked to have followed the form book when Gabriel Martinelli opened the scoring inside a minute, only for Darwin Nunez to strike back for the visitors.
Bukayo Saka edged the Gunners in front on the stroke of half-time before Roberto Firmino netted a second equaliser.
There was a little controversy surrounding the winner, with Thiago adjudged to have fouled Gabriel Jesus in the box, leaving Saka with the opportunity to hand the home side the lead once more from the spot – one that he did not pass up as he settled an enthralling encounter.
The Gunners held on in a rare Premier League success for the north Londoners – it remains their only league win over Liverpool since the summer of 2020.

Neither of these clubs had much to write home about by the end of this campaign, with Liverpool and Arsenal both losing finalists in the Champions League and League Cup respectively while both sealing their places in the top four.
But en route to the Carling Cup final in Cardiff that year, the Gunners came up against a Liverpool side they had beaten just three days earlier in the FA Cup, hoping history would repeat itself. It would – and then some.
A Tomas Rosicky double and a Thierry Henry special helped Arsene Wenger’s side over the line on the preceding weekend, but as was customary in the League Cup in those days, the Frenchman let those on the fringes of the first team take centre stage for this quarter-final.
No one did that more so than on-loan Sevilla forward Julio Baptista, who netted four that night at Anfield to seal a semi-final against Tottenham Hotspur.
Baptista was greatly aided by Jeremie Aliadiere, who opened the scoring, while Alex Song’s goal helped to secure a commanding 4-1 half-time lead as the Gunners cancelled out Robbie Fowler’s equaliser.
The Brazilian helped himself to a second-half double – while missing a penalty – to complete the flood of goalscoring, with Steven Gerrard’s emphatic volley and Sami Hyypia’s header mere consolations on a bizarre night on Merseyside.

Liverpool win 5-4 on penalties
There must something in the air when these two meet in the League Cup, though Jurgen Klopp’s side were not to make the same mistake when Arsenal’s youngsters threatened to play them off the Anfield park again.
Liverpool had not long been crowned European champions, while Arsenal were in their second season under Unai Emery, who had already tasted heavy defeats from Klopp’s men by this point.
And it looked like it would be the same again when Shkodran Mustafi put through his own net to give the hosts the lead, but within half an hour, the Gunners were 3-1 up thanks to Lucas Torreira and a brace from Gabriel Martinelli, who was making a name for himself in the cup competitions.
James Milner’s penalty reduced the arrears as the teams continued to trade goals galore, with Joe Willock’s strike – Arsenal’s fifth – the pick of the bunch.
There was an air of inevitability about the Liverpool equaliser, but it nevertheless came four minutes into added time from Divock Origi, who notched his second of the night to take the game to penalties.
Dani Ceballos was the man to fluff his lines from the spot as Liverpool edged what was another cup classic.

Arsenal still had hopes of title glory heading into this one – the Gunners were hoping to cut Manchester United’s lead at the top to just four points ahead of a title tussle at the start of May, while Liverpool were in transition having dismissed Roy Hodgson earlier in the campaign, with Sir Kenny Dalglish back in the dugout.
The Gunners will have thought they had snatched it late on when Robin van Persie struck home a penalty deep into stoppage time – owing to a serious injury to Jamie Carragher – to send the Emirates crowd berserk.
However, the party atmosphere was swiftly dampened when a clumsy Emmanuel Eboue was deemed to have fouled Lucas Leiva in the area following a Liverpool free kick which ought to have been the final kick of the game.
Alas, referee Andre Marriner would point to the spot, allowing Dirk Kuyt to smash home the latest of late equalisers – his 102nd-minute goal was the latest ever recorded in the Premier League.
Arsenal would later collapse to fourth place, while Liverpool recovered somewhat the following year by making two cup finals under Dalglish.

2001 was a special year for Liverpool; while they may not have had the league success craved by many, they did manage to secure the next best thing: a cup treble.
The first part of that treble was secured in February 2001, when Gerard Houllier’s side saw off First Division outfit Birmingham City on penalties at the Millennium Stadium. Returning to the same venue to make it two from two, they didn’t look like doing that when Freddie Ljungberg put Arsenal ahead with less than 20 minutes remaining.
But Michael Owen managed to single-handedly turn the game on its head, with the striker stabbing the ball home to equalise late on before an even later winner securing what had looked an unlikely comeback. It left Arsenal empty-handed for the season, though they would bounce back by lifting the Premier League the following year, with Liverpool in second.
The Reds would go through even more drama on their way to the UEFA Cup, beating Alaves 5-4 in Dortmund after extra-time.

Liverpool win 5-3 on aggregate
Liverpool may have been slight favourites for this Champions League quarter-final second leg, with the Reds taking an away goal into the deciding tie at Anfield, which started level at 1-1.
This game was part of a so-called trilogy, with Arsenal and Liverpool going head-to-head at the Emirates twice in a week in Europe and the Premier League before the winner-takes-all clash three days later. While both prior games ended 1-1, there had to be a winner one way or another here.
The first leg had its fair share of chaos, with Alexander Hleb denied what looked a stonewall penalty and Nicklas Bendtner inexplicably blocking the ball from going into Liverpool’s net. The second was just as frantic.
Arsenal set their stall out early by nicking an away goal for themselves thanks to Abou Diaby, only for Sami Hyypia to level things up on the night and on aggregate.
Fernando Torres then gave Liverpool their first true lead in the tie when he smashed home, until a magical, mazy run from Theo Walcott cut through almost the entire Liverpool team as he squared for Emmanuel Adebayor to net a second away goal for Arsenal, who were less than ten minutes away from a semi-final date with Chelsea.
But the kings of Europe found a way, albeit through a contentious-looking penalty decision as Ryan Babel was felled by Kolo Toure. Gerrard was on hand to send Anfield into raptures, and with Arsenal desperate for another equaliser, they were hit on the break again as Babel ran clear to settle the tie once and for all.

While scoring four at Anfield was nothing new as far as Arsenal strikers were concerned, it’s difficult to look past Andrey Arshavin’s quadruple and the ding-dong game that ensued as the Reds looked to hunt down Manchester United in the Premier League title race.
Despite losing just twice all season, Liverpool were only a point behind the Red Devils and had already played a game more than the then-champions, so three more were much-needed here.
Unfortunately, Arsenal were having a decent campaign on the road, having beaten Chelsea away from home and seen off the likes of Roma on the way to the Champions League semi-finals.
So despite having little to play for in the league and big ties on the horizon, Arsenal certainly didn’t show it, with Arshavin handing the Gunners a precious half-time lead.
Yossi Benayoun and Torres hauled Liverpool in front before the Russian struck twice more – the first of those being an absolute screamer past Pepe Reina.
Torres netted an equaliser to set up a grand finale, during which Walcott raced away in similar fashion to his exploits in the previous season and laid it on a plate for Arshavin’s fourth in the 90th minute.
However, Arsenal would again surrender their advantage as Benayoun popped up at the death to momentarily take Liverpool top of the league, but it was not enough come the end of the campaign, with both clubs ending promising seasons trophyless.

There could really only be one game to round off this list. Considered by some to be the greatest league finale of all time – even in light of Sergio Aguero’s title-clincher in 2012 – the heroics of this Arsenal team have been etched into every Gunners fan’s psyche and even immortalised on film.
Despite boasting a sizeable lead at one stage, Arsenal were letting their league challenge slip, so much so, that Liverpool – champions in 9 of the previous 13 seasons – had almost everything in their hands heading into the final match of the campaign, as only a two-goal defeat would see the Gunners nick the title from under their noses.
It was indeed an emotionally charged night at Anfield, with the game being held back due to the tragic events at Hillsborough just six weeks before; Arsenal players entered the field with flowers to mark their respects.
Going in goalless at the break, it was all going to plan for the hosts, although Alan Smith’s contested header early in the second half left the tie, and indeed the championship, on a knife-edge.
For Arsenal, it was a case of striking at the perfect moment. Having held out the likes of Ian Rush, John Barnes and John Aldridge at the other end, they went in search of the elusive second goal well into stoppage time.
Midfielder Mickey Thomas – who would later don the colours of Liverpool – proved to be the Anfield side’s nemesis, as he picked up Alan Smith’s lofted pass and slotted past Bruce Grobbelaar to snatch the First Division from Liverpool’s grasp in the most dramatic fashion possible.
His strike-rate has been a regular topic of conversation during a prolific World Cup and David Warner said it has been a conscious effort to slow things down

Name the artist most likely to provide the soundtrack to a David Warner batting montage over the past decade and many would reach for an AC/DC record – all blazing guitars and hair-raising lyrics – or perhaps something even heavier.An absence of the aforementioned metallic clang about Warner’s performances at this year’s World Cup has been so evident as to raise questions about what is now going on inside the left-hander’s head, for he has been seemingly batting to the loping rhythm of an emo folkie. Following Australia’s win over England at Lord’s he has finally provided an answer: emo folk indeed, from the Scotsman Lewis Capaldi. Lewis Capaldi? Lewis Capaldi, so loathed by Noel Gallagher? Yes, really.The flip side of Warner’s composed and relaxed visage in the middle during games – a jarring contrast with so many of his previous, antagonistic displays – has been his use of headphones in the nets. During Australia’s training sessions, Warner has donned the ear buds and played tracks off his watch to block out external noise and slow his tempo. It’s a technique drawn from one of the many relaxation methods Warner tried during his 12 months banned from the international game.”Why do I wear headphones at training, well I was waiting for that. It is something for me to relax my mind,” Warner said. “We do a lot of different things. In the last 12 months I just did a lot of different stuff. I did a lot of stuff on recovery.WATCH on Hotstar (India only) – David Warner’s 166 against Bangladesh”I am not an ice bath man but I went and did cryotherapy [use of extreme cold to aid recovery], I did a whole session with my headphones on a couple of times and it really relaxed me at training. When you have guys coming at you at 150kph you don’t want to be listening to any external noise around the training sessions. So I just sing along to whatever top 40 is on my iWatch. It is a bit of a tempo thing.””There is a Lewis Capaldi [song], I think he is on there at the moment. There is a bit of slow music, but for me it is calming me down while I am out there.”Blocking out external noise, of course, was something Warner and Steven Smith needed to be ready for on their returns to Australian ranks, and there were still plenty of boos at Lord’s, tacitly approved of by England’s captain Eoin Morgan. Smith’s own year of self-discovery featured the taking up of music – he now travels with an acoustic guitar – and for Warner the decision to find a different headspace in which to bat and play the game can be related to what he saw when he played club cricket in Sydney over the summer.David Warner’s earbud is just visible as he bats in the nets•AFP
“For me it is about enjoying the game when it is taken away from you, you realise what it is all about,” Warner said. “Going back to grass roots was fantastic. I really saw smiles on people’s faces to be out there on a Saturday afternoon. All the volunteers that come down and put time and effort, whether it is making the drinks, making the lunches. People’s parents, my mum, my dad coming down, it is just great. You can’t take that for granted. I am just grateful for the second opportunity to come back here and represent my country and do the country proud. You know I am just excited to be back here and playing World Cup cricket for Australia.”If there was criticism of the way Warner dragged Australia’s run rate down against India at The Oval, this has been drowned out by how he and Aaron Finch have proven to be this tournament’s calmest and most reliable opening pair.Their qualities have been most evident on a pair of days, against Pakistan and England, when they were sent in to bat in conditions tailored to seam and swing. But instead of being methodically nicked off, they have won the battle between the ears on a big occasion as Pakistan sprayed the new balls and England dropped too short. Then when Australia bowled in defence of middling tallies, their pacemen took on the lessons and fashioned the wins that have qualified Australia for the semi-finals.”I think when we looked at this wicket specifically that was our game plan, to keep wickets in hand,” Warner said of Lord’s. “We knew up front Woakesey [Chris Woakes] was going to be challenging, obviously Jofra [Archer] as well with his pace.”But I really think there was a lot of pace taken out of that wicket. It did seam a bit but there was just no real pace in that wicket. So credit to the way our bowlers came out and bowled, we knew early wickets was going to be the key and we managed to do that. You saw I think nine wickets taken by our fast bowlers which is exceptional.”It’s always challenging. I was thinking back to the Pakistan game, it’s one of those things where you tighten up a little bit and you pounce on anything that’s short and if anything’s full, as we say you throw the kitchen sink at it. We were patient, we bought our time and the knock that Finchy played, to get a hundred there – I know he was disappointed not to go on – but he played an exceptional knock. And the little cameo that Kez [Alex Carey] did as well was fantastic and put us into a great position to put 280 on the board.”For this tournament at least, Australia now have well founded confidence that they have chosen the right method, one to which Warner has adapted by way of his own self-knowledge from 12 months away. A similar approach during the Ashes from a similar group of players would appear likely too.While the question remains open as to how sustainable it all is – Warner, after all, did not become a dominant international batsman at Test level by simply hanging around and waiting for the bad ball – it appears the right approach for this moment. Time will tell whether Warner’s head stays full of Lewis Capaldi, or something livelier takes his place.
