Massimiliano Allegri was left to rue Juventus slow and static defending after Napoli snatched a dramatic late winner at the Allianz Stadium.

A generally dull contest was settled in the third minute of stoppage time, when Giacamo Raspadori s thumping volley edged the runaway Serie A leaders ever closer to clinching the Scudetto.

The Juve defence were caught napping as Luciano Spalletti s side snatched all three points, and Allegri admitted he expects higher standards from his players.

It s disappointing to lose a game like that, but we should ve done better on the goal, he told DAZN. We just stopped playing and absolutely need to do better in that sense.

It’s simple, just look at the move, we are at the 93rd minute and ought to have bodies into the box…

Atlanta United moved up to third in the MLS Eastern Conference after Maren Haile-Selassie s 99th-minute own goal helped them to a 2-1 home win over Chicago Fire on Sunday.

Chicago thought they had rescued a point from substitute Kacper Przybylko s 90th-minute strike but there was to be drama in the final minute of nine stoppage-time minutes.

Machop Chol glanced on Brooks Lennon s corner, with Juanjo Purata s poke deflecting off Haile-Selassie s back and dribbling over the goalline. The win meant Atlanta stretched their unbeaten streak to four games.

Georgios Giakoumakis had put Atlanta ahead in the 13th minute, lashing home from Lennon s cutback.

But Chicago squared the game up from Przybylko s strike after he had been thwarted with his initial attempt, o…

Julian Nagelsmann insisted there is more to come from Jamal Musiala following the teenager s brace in Bayern Munich s 12-0 DFB-Pokal demolition of Bremer.

Musiala scored twice on his first start of the season as Bundesliga champions Bayern put 12 past their helpless fifth-tier opponents at the Weserstadion on Wednesday.

The 18-year-old brilliantly executed a neat one-two with four-goal star Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting for his opener, while rifling home a 20-yard thunderbolt for his second just after half-time.

Germany sensation Musiala carried a constant threat with his pace and ball retention down the right flank, and would have claimed a hat-trick had his goal-bound first-half shot not been turned over his own line by Jan-Luca Warm.

Joey Barton is to re-sign for Premier League side Burnley on a short-term deal from January, subject to international clearance.

Barton helped Burnley win promotion from the Championship last season, but opted to depart Turf Moor to join Scottish Premiership side Rangers.

However, it proved an unhappy spell for the 34-year-old at Ibrox and he was suspended following a training-ground spat with team-mate Andy Halliday in the aftermath of the humiliating 5-1 Old Firm defeat to rivals Celtic in September. 

Barton was initially exiled for three weeks, but his ban was extended when the Scottish Football Association charged him for breaching betting rules and the two parties eventually parted ways in November.

Ivory Coast welcomed Cheick Tiote back to training on Tuesday ahead of their Africa Cup of Nations semi-final.

Cheick Tiote could return for Ivory Coast s Africa Cup of Nations semi-final against Democratic Republic of Congo on Wednesday.

The Newcastle United midfielder has not featured for Herve Renard s side since their second group game against Mali on January 24 due to an ankle injury.

However, Renard hopes to have the 28-year-old back as they look to reach a third final in six years at the continental competition.

Tiote has started light training and he is in the squad [for Wednesday],  said Renard.

It will be difficult for him to start the game, but he is in the squad.

Ivory Coast are looking to win their first AFCON title since …

Being favourites to win the Africa Cup of Nations means nothing, Ivory Coast coach Herve Renard said ahead of their semi-final.

Ivory Coast coach Herve Renard is wary of his side holding the favourites tag ahead of their Africa Cup of Nations semi-final clash with Democratic Republic of Congo.

Renard s side flattered to deceive at the start of the tournament, registering underwhelming 1-1 stalemates with both Guinea and Mali, but subsequent victories over Cameroon and Algeria now have them as favourites.

The Wilfried Bony-inspired 3-1 quarter-final triumph over Algeria was particularly impressive considering that Christian Gourcuff’s men were the highest-ranked team in the competition and now Ivory Coast are within touching distance of another final.

Market: Villarreal win

Odds: 4/6 @

Looking to make a return to winning ways on Thursday evening, Villarreal will welcome Espanyol to the Estadio de la Ceramica.

Starting with the hosts, last seen putting in another downbeat display as they slumped to a 2-1 loss away at Sevilla, Villarreal do have the feel of a squad seeking a recent boost. Left disappointed on April 15th as they suffered a 2-1 defeat at home against Valladolid, Quique Setien’s men are now in a real battle to claim a top-six finish this season. However, rightfully smelling the chance to claim a La Liga boost on Thursday evening, the one-time Barcelona boss should be excited by an eye-catching record against the midweek guests. Claiming a deserved 1-0 win when they made the trip to Catalonia for…

On-loan Roma defender Lucas Digne says a return to Paris Saint-Germain is a possibility, but suggested he prefers working under Rudi Garcia as opposed to Laurent Blanc.

The France international moved to the Stadio Olimpico on a season-long loan in August with Roma having the option to make the deal permanent.

Digne has featured regularly under Garcia his former boss at Lille in Serie A and the Champions League, but the 22-year-old s future remains undecided.

It does not depend just on me, I cannot answer that today, he told L Equipe.

All I can say is that as long as I am here, I will give everything for Roma.

I d received offers from England, too, but I realised that Roma was the club I wanted the most.

In just a few days I faced…

Chelsea rekindle interest in Valdes

that Premier League holders Chelsea are considering a move for Manchester United goalkeeper Victor Valdes.

The Blues are in problems after Thibaut Courtois suffered a difficult knee injury, as summer recruit Asmir Begovic is the only quality goalkeeper in the squad.

As a result, Jose Mourinho hopes to acquire Premier League s approval to make an emergency loan signing, and it would appear as though Victor Valdes is the number one name on his wish list.

The Spaniard has seen very little playing time at Old Trafford and he does not have the best of relationships with manager Louis van Gaal.

At the same time, Mourinho is looking at Juan Pablo Carrizzo, Helton and Miguel Angel Moya.

Having recorded three s…

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Harry Winks was offered to Leeds United earlier this summer, according to . It has been reported that the England international was offered on loan to Leeds, but the West Yorkshire club turned it down. The reason behind Leeds’s decision has not been given.

Winks has come through the Tottenham youth academy and is a member of the first team. The midfielder scored  in 110 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career. However, the midfielder struggled to play regularly for Spurs last season when Jose Mourinho was in charge of the North London club.

However, Nuno is now in charge of Tottenham, and perhaps the former Wolverhampton Wanderers boss could give chance to the England international midfielder in the coming weeks and month…
