West Ham are set to appoint Rita Guarino as their women's team manager following the sacking of Rehanne Skinner.

Liverpool fear Alexander Isak may have suffered a significant lower leg injury after the striker was forced off during Saturday's 2-1 Premier League win over Tottenham.

Isak attempted to continue but was unable to play on and was eventually withdrawn.

Sam Kerr scored the opening two goals for Chelsea, and Johanna Rytting Kaneryd got a hat-trick. Wieke Kaptein scored twice, with Sjoeke Nusken and Millie Bright also getting on the score-sheet.

Combining high tactical intelligence with physical dominance, he is taking the market by storm.

Brighton's winless streak in the Premier League stretched to four matches following a 0-0 draw with Sunderland. Saturday's contest at the Amex Stadium was distinctly lacking in attacking quality, as the spoils were shared in the first Premier League meeting between these teams. Sunderland, without a glut of key players due to the Africa Cup of Nations, turned in a resolute display, and may have won it if not for some fine goalkeeping from Bart Verbruggen.

However, Brentford broke through in the 63rd minute when Lewis-Potter neatly steered home after the Wolves defence were slow to react to Vitaly Janelt's lofted ball into the box.

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe said his side were denied a "stonewall" penalty in their 2-2 draw with Chelsea - so, does he have a point?

Howe and the home fans demanded a penalty but, following a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) review, the on-field decision not to award a penalty was upheld.
