Spurs Beat Norwich City To Go Fifth

Antonio Conte said Tottenham faced a season of "hard work" despite moving to within two points of a Champions League spot with a third successive Premier League win.

An outstanding goal by Lucas Moura helped propel fast-improving Spurs to victory over bottom club Norwich City.

Tottenham boss Conte, however, is not getting carried away after taking 10 points from his first four league games in charge.

"We have to build a solid base and a good foundation if we want to try to be competitive in the future and fight for something important," said the Italian.

"I know for Tottenham, it will be a season of work. Hard work."

Brazil forward Moura opened the scoring by finding the top corner from 25 yards following a move in which he beat two Norwich players and played a one-two with Son Heung-min.

Davinson Sanchez doubled the lead, the Colombian defender lashing home as Norwich failed to deal with a corner before Son made it 3-0 with a neat finish.

The Canaries are three points from safety after their first defeat under Dean Smith.

Juventus Beat Genoa To Go Fifth In Serie A

Juan Cuadrado scored an incredible goal as Juventus cruised past strugglers Genoa to go fifth in Serie A.

The ex-Chelsea winger scored directly from a corner in the eighth minute with the ball flying in off the crossbar.

Paulo Dybala doubled Juventus' advantage late on, sliding the ball past keeper Salvatore Sirigu as the hosts dominated proceedings in Turin.

Genoa offered little in response, failing to have a shot on target and remain 18th, two points off safety.

They have also yet to score in the four games they have played since Andriy Shevchenko became their manager.

Matthijs de Ligt and Alvaro Morata also went close either side of half-time for Juventus, who are now seven points behind Atalanta in fourth.

Victory meant Massimiliano Allegri's team have now won five of their past six matches in all competitions.

Fred Fires United To First Win Under Ralf Rangnick

Ralf Rangnick's reign at Manchester United got off to a winning start as Fred's late winner overcame a stubborn Crystal Palace 1-0 at Old Trafford.

Rangnick looked set to endure a frustrating first outing as United interim manager as Palace weathered an early onslaught before staging another dogged defensive display at a ground where they were unbeaten in their previous two visits.

But the Eagles' resistance was broken 13 minutes from time when Fred curled his second Premier League goal of the season into the top corner of the Palace net with his unfavoured right boot.

For Palace, Fred's winner was compounded by the fact it came less than two minutes after Jordan Ayew had squandered their best chance of winning at Old Trafford for the second successive season.

The victory extends United's post-Ole Gunnar Solskjaer unbeaten run in all competitions to four matches and lifts them up to sixth in the Premier League, three points outside the top four, while Palace drop a place to 12th after suffering their third straight defeat.

Ini Edo: Marriage Isn’t My Priority

Nollywood star actress, Ini Edo, has come out to bluntly say that marriage is not her priority.

The screen goddess also said she makes friends better with guys than women.

The actress said she has numerous male friends who have been tagged as her lovers.

She spoke in an interview with Blogger, Stella Dimoko Dorkus.

She said, “Stella, I naturally make friends better with guys than women. I do have few female friends don’t get me wrong but I relate better with people who are older and way more experienced in life than I am. I relate with people who bring value to my life. How many people can one possibly date? I have loads of male friends, most of them, I am friends with their entire family including wives.

“It’s so sad that in Nigeria, when a ‘single’ woman is friends with a guy, it must mean to people that they are dating. I mean make it make sense, Kome has been my friend for years and that is what it is, period. He is a responsible family man and doesn’t deserve to be dragged into my motherhood story. Anyone saying that he is the father of my daughter is a lie from the pit of hell.

“I really hope to keep my baby off social media, and this was why I’ve been reluctant putting her out there. I would love to keep everything about her private for now. There are a lot of celebrities whose children are not growing up on the social media pages and living normal lives. That is how I want it to be for my daughter. It is a choice to put her out there or not and I choose to keep her private.

“Right now, marriage isn’t my priority, I’ve been married before and it wasn’t exactly a bed of roses. Marriage is a good thing instituted by God and ultimately most people’s desire but I am not just crazy about distractions and the complications that come with it. I am not against it though.

“I’m in the phase of taking care of my child and focusing my positive energies on motherhood and my running businesses. This is all I have time for right now and shun all negative news or energy. Thank You for always reaching out to get the truth when the lies start spreading, I guess that is what being a seasoned journalist entails.”
