Liverpool knew Kayode's aerial bombardments were coming. It's the only thing we did yesterday [in preparation] on the training pitch, an exasperated Slot told the written media afterwards, and in the team meeting today. But prior knowledge does not always mean a solution. When Kayode winds up there is a genuine sense of anticipation, a stoppage in time. Unless, that is, you or your team are tasked with defending against his throws.

I can guarantee that Arsenal will be my last club abroad. I still want to return to Brondby when my contract at Arsenal expires. My contract is two years with an option for a further year. I would be happy to stay at Arsenal for the extra year if things develop in that direction. If it turns out that it wasn't the right match, we'll go home to Denmark after two years.

First five minutes, he just kept on pushing me, so I was thinking, All right, let's have it', Haaland revealed to the Sky panel. So, then I started pushing him back, and for me, this is a proper goal. I was a bit tired before the game. Going into the game, I was thinking, It's going to be a tough game'. But then after 10 seconds, he starts pushing me, and he starts motivating me, so all praise to him, honestly, he made me want to do that.

Ismaila Sarr fired the FA Cup winners into an early lead after Liverpool failed to deal with a corner. Liverpool looked set to be rescued by another late goal when Federico Chiesa swept home a loose ball in the box to equalise on 87 minutes. This time the Reds were on the other end of a late winner. Nketiah produced a composed finish in a packed penalty area with almost the last kick of the game.

It's weirdly difficult [to defend long throws]. The day before a game you practise defending corners and free-kicks but not long throws. Because it's coming in from a different angle, it creates chaos. It's something teams should work on more.

Newcastle United are closing in on a £55 million ($74.4m) deal for Yoane Wissa, with the Brentford forward due to undergo a medical later on Monday, sources have told ESPN. With Newcastle agreeing a British record transfer fee of £130m for striker Alexander Isak, the club have now moved to replace the Sweden international by agreeing a deal with Brentford for the DR Congo international and sources said Eddie Howe's team are "hopeful" of getting the transfer done on deadline day.
