NOTTINGHAM, England - Diogo Jota's late winner earned Liverpool a 1-0 victory at a spirited Nottingham Forest on Sunday to book an FA Cup semifinal clash with Premier League title rivals Manchester City.

Second-tier Forest, who had already knocked out Premier League Arsenal and Leicester City en route to the quarterfinals, held their own in the first half, with Joe Lolley wasting a glorious chance to break the deadlock.

The United States men’s national team has its three biggest games in half a decade right around the corner. Three World Cup qualifiers against Mexico, Panama and Costa Rica to punch a ticket to Qatar 2022.

It was one of the longest halves in Jesse Marsch’s career, both literally and figuratively. The new Leeds United coach had to replace three of his starters with first-half injuries and in the 11th minute of added time Wolverhampton scored a second goal that seemingly consigned the American to a third defeat in four matches since taking the job. 

Thursday’s game between Everton and Newcastle had a unique disruption when a fan ran onto the field. Pitch invaders aren’t a strange occurrence, but you don’t see invaders tie themselves to the goal post around their neck too often. So, why did the fan tie himself to the goalpost?

Louis McKechnie used a cable to tie his neck around the goalpost and donned a bright orange shirt that read “Just Stop Oil.” It took several minutes and a crew of around 10 people to cut McKechnie loose and drag him away.

Raúl Jiménez tuvo un día de perros ante el Leeds United. El delantero mexicano falló un par de ocasiones de gol de manera clamorosa, recibió su segunda tarjeta roja de la temporada y tras su expulsión los Wolves colapsaron y desperdiciaron el 2-0 que tenían a su favor.

El primer traspié en la cuenta del Lobo fue su falta de finiquito. Si bien acumula seis tantos durante esta campaña, hay consenso de que el jugador no está fino y un intento de tijera a los 13' refleja un poco el nivel de puntería del goleador por estos días.

Después de pelarse las piernas eliminando a Cristiano Ronaldo, Héctor Herrera y sus compañeros en el Atlético de Madrid sueñan más que nunca con la posibilidad de ganar la Champions League. La tarea no será simple, menos considerando los colosales obstáculos que aparecen a partir de los cuartos de final del torneo.

Christian Pulisic made it two goals in two games against Lille as Chelsea defated the defending Ligue 1 champion 2-1 on Wednesday to win 4-1 on aggregate and advance to the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. The Pulisic goal vs Lille came at a perfect time for the Blues, who had struggled to create any chances in the first half.
