March 12, 2021 Kane Double Gives Spurs First Leg Lead

Kane Double Gives Spurs First Leg Lead

Tottenham took one step closer to the Europa League quarter-finals as Harry Kane's double secured a comfortable 2-0 win over Dinamo Zagreb on Thursday night.

Kane's predatory finish put the hosts in front before the striker pounced on a slack clearance from Kevin Theophile-Catherine to double his tally for the evening.

There would be no second European hat-trick of the season for the England captain, who was replaced late on as a precautionary measure following a challenge from Arijan Ademi.

The result puts Tottenham in a strong position ahead of the last 16 second leg on March 18 as Jose Mourinho's side now turn their focus towards facing Arsenal in the North London derby on Sunday.

Federer Beaten In Qatar Open Last Eight

Roger Federer lost his second match since returning from a 14-month injury lay-off, going out to Nikoloz Basilashvili in the quarter-finals of the Qatar Open.

The 20-time Grand Slam winner was overcome by Georgia's Basilashvili 3-6 6-1 7-5 in Doha.

Federer had beaten Britain's Dan Evans on his return to action on Wednesday to reach the last eight.

Basilashvili saved a match point before going on to beat the Swiss 39-year-old.

After Federer missed his chance of victory in the 10th game of the deciding set, world number 42 Basilashvili went on to break the three-time Qatar Open winner in the ensuing game and eventually prevailed in one hour and 50 minutes.

Federer, in competitive action for the first time since January 2020 after two knee surgeries, said playing two matches in two days was "a good stepping stone" in his recovery.

 

March 12, 2021 Man Utd Denied By Late Milan Goal

Man Utd Denied By Late Milan Goal

Manchester United's defensive vulnerabilities returned as AC Milan grabbed an injury-time equaliser in their Europa League last-16 first-leg tie at Old Trafford.

Amad Diallo's stunning header five minutes into the second half looked like giving United a first-leg lead.

But Milan, who had already been harshly denied a goal when Franck Kessie's first-half volley was ruled out for handball, replied when Simon Kjaer evaded the attentions of Nemanja Matic at a corner right at the death and steered a near-post header past Dean Henderson's weak attempt to save.

It was the least a Milan side lacking former United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic deserved.

It was tough luck on Diallo, who scored in quite brilliant fashion with his first effort on goal in only his third appearance for the Red Devils.

The Ivorian raced on to Bruno Fernandes' brilliant chipped pass five minutes after replacing Anthony Martial at half-time, then, with his back to goal close to the penalty spot, looped the ball over Gianluigi Donnarumma and into the net.

March 12, 2021 Arsenal Take Commanding Lead Over Olympiakos

Arsenal Take Commanding Lead Over Olympiakos

Late goals from Gabriel and Mohamed Elneny spared Arsenal's blushes from an earlier defensive howler as the Gunners rallied to a 3-1 first-leg lead over Olympiakos in their Europa League last-16 tie.

The Gunners dominated for the most part in Athens, and held a deserved half-time lead through Martin Odegaard's long-range first goal for the club - although Olympiakos missed a gilt-edged chance to level from a David Luiz error.

They had less mercy on the visitors following another defensive mix-up after half-time, when Dani Ceballos was robbed by Youssef El-Arabi when miss-controlling an ill-conceived pass from Bernd Leno, before the Olympiakos top scorer levelled from distance.

Arsenal, knocked out by these opponents in last year's Europa League, wobbled from that point but restored their lead 11 minutes from time when Gabriel pounced to power home Willian's cross, before substitute Elneny fired in a powerful third to give Mikel Arteta's side a commanding lead ahead of next week's second leg in north London.
