Fashion Sakala, having already thumped in an equaliser, turned into a human magnet for Rangers' best opportunities. He muscled Cameron Carter-Vickers aside and forced a save out of Joe Hart, he rose high from a corner and nutted a header over, he went zeroing in on goal with six minutes to play and now you felt that Rangers were about to pull it out of the fire.
Harry Kane answered his critics with a first-half, perfect hat-trick as England moved to the brink of World Cup qualification with a thumping 5-0 win over Albania at Wembley.
Antonio Conte emphasised the importance of Tottenham's victory over Leicester ahead of their season-defining run-in.

But given their superior goal difference to Poland, three points from the two games may well be all England need to clinch top spot and an automatic place at Qatar.
There were signs that their defence might not be as cohesive as it had been at Anfield, however. Liverpool thought they had gone ahead with 12 minutes on the clock when Fabinho nodded down to Joel Matip at a corner and his teammate stabbed the ball into the back of the net, but the linesman’s flag went up before VAR confirmed that Matip had been narrowly offside.
So, was this a performance so bad it merits a personal apology for a Hollywood superstar? Potentially. It was pretty bad. And The Warm-Up can’t pretend it wouldn’t enjoy seeing Rob Holding trying to explain directly to Idris Elba what went wrong and why it won’t happen again, in between takes on his latest blockbuster.
This drags opposition defences out of shape, but also provides additional space for Sane on the ball. He is most dangerous when he can run at players, using his technical ability and clever movement to find gaps for himself and others.
It is his determination. It is very difficult to get to the top but it is staying there too. You have to get up in the morning and go again and the whole world is looking for you to perform every week. It is just phenomenal what he has done.
But Derby were causing City problems and Ebiowei jinked past three red shirts before curling a shot from the edge of the area narrowly wide.
As the Norwegian walked over to the away end, he put his hands up in apologetic fashion and then waved goodbye. He must have known that it was likely to have been his last act as Manchester United manager.
“Now he was offered money elsewhere, and he and his company will go to United. When he's offered to work in Africa, he will go to earn money there, leaving his deputy at Manchester United. Clean business.”
It was the first Premier League game for United since the departure of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer a week ago, and despite being second best in the first half, Jadon Sancho took advantage of a poor Jorginho error to put the visitors ahead.
“It is just a shame to see football has the money, where someone like myself at Man United is on £30,000 tops a year, to look after someone like Pogba who is on £300,000 a week.
With just four matches played in the groups, Iran head Group A on 10 points ahead of South Korea on eight and Lebanon on five, while in Group B Saudi Arabia are top on 12 points with and Australia three points behind on nine and Oman and Japan both on six.
A Watford statement read: The Hornets are pleased to report that Larry Brooks, the supporter who collapsed during yesterday's game at Vicarage Road, is in good spirits and being well cared for.
At this stage it’s worth reminding ourselves that Muller has done all this playing in a league that has a 34-game season. Absurdly, he actually missed a game in 2019-20, starting 26 and coming off the bench in seven. Last year, when he got 18 assists, he started 31 and came off the bench in one, missing two matches. By contrast in his record-breaking seasons De Bruyne started all 34 games for Wolfsburg, and then started 32 and came off the bench in three for Manchester City. Messi started 32 for Barcelona and came off the bench once.
Solskjaer has found himself under increased scrutiny after the 2-0 derby defeat, which came 13 days on from the humiliating 5-0 home loss to Liverpool.
The 29-year-old's contract expires in June. Newcastle, AC Milan, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain are all reportedly interested in signing the winger.
Ask him what aspect of his game he wants to improve and the reply is instant. Everything, he says.
Having said that, you still have to defend the goal. I think the free-kick is played and nobody runs across to it, I think it was Isaiah Jones.
Doherty had another chance shortly after but he dragged a shot wide from the edge of the area as Spurs tried to take control.
In the second half, it was difficult, Crystal Palace came back into the game but we defended very, very well.
The 24-year-old has been a natural leader since his schoolboy days in the Portuguese capital and facing Sporting was always an opportunity for him to show those qualities.
