Revenge Is Best Served Late (Inter Milan 0 – 1 Bayern Munich )

Inter claimed last season's Champions League title by beating Bayern Munich in the final, but this time around the Germans have exacted revenge at the San Siro with a 1-0 win. Mario Gomez's late tap-in decided the action packed match after Julio Cesar spilled Robben's long-range shot...

Benzema scores against his old club

Real Madrid drew 1-1 in Lyon but were left rueing a late equaliser from Bafetimbu Gomis after Karim Benzema had scored against his old club.

Karim Benzema's subdued celebration after scoring his first goal against his former club was at odds with the overwhelming relief Jose Mourinho felt. It has been a record of futility for the world's most celebrated club against their French opponent. Actually, it was the first time Real had scored against Lyon away.

However, Lyon came back with a Bafetimbi Gomis equalizer to set up a tantalizing second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Blackpool shake up Spurs, 3-1

Ian Holloway's boys showed no slowing down in their quest for attractive and attacking football despite their history of throwaway second half displays. In Spurs, they met a much higher priced mirror image one but with similar defensive liabilities. By the end, Spurs had to satisfy themselves with Roman Pavlyuchenko's forlorn consololation.

Charlie Adams put the Seasiders ahead with his PK after DJ Campbell was brought down by Sebastien Bassong and Campbell himself got on the scoreline closing out a swift counterattack. It was left to Brett Ormerod, the player most inextricably linked to Blackpool's rise to the top to fittingly become the first club player to score in all four divisions of the English league with his 80th minute goal.

The Blackpool attack was as it should be but this time the club weathered the Spurs maelstorm through some stellar defending and some heart in the mouth goal line saves. Afterwards Holloway glowed:

"I don't think there's a word that's been written, printed or produced in the dictionary that I can use for how pleased I am. It was a fantastic night for everyone connected [with the club]. Does that make us better than Milan? I don't think so, but what we are doing is phenomenal."

His club is now in 12th position and with 32 points and 11 matches left look safe to continue in the Premiership. But such displays show they may not just be happy with survival.

Anelka brace sinks Copenhagen

Nicolas Anelka shows an older more ruthless streak as a finisher. Part of the problem playing in the slot is the deferment to the frontline strikers, Fernando Torres and Didier Drogba in carrying the scoring load. The 4-3-3 formation only works if there is a willingness to go wide and create an overlapping dynamic.

But since all three strikers are more comfortable centrally located it leads to real estate statism. But this time there was no Drogba leaving Anelka free to pull the immediate trigger. He's been on target in the Champions League with seven goals sharing top gun billing with Samuel Eto'o. Carlo Ancelotti also benefited by a sharper Fernando Torres passing defenders at will but unable to score his first Chelsea goal.

Genoa 4-3 AS Roma

Manic depressive Roma implode again.

Phillipe Mexes, Nicolas Burdisso, and Francesco Totti fire Roma into a seemingly unassailable 3-0 lead. But Genoa storm back through braces by Rodrigo Palacio and Alberto Paloschi to pull off a remarkable comeback as the Romans fall to pieces. Check out Palacio's zen like equalizer for the Rossoblu. Such lethal finishes made him a legend at Boca Juniors.

For Claudio Rainieri it was the end of the road as Roma stumbled to their third Serie defeat as well as being outplayed by Shakhtar in the CL first leg.

They've given up 36 goals with only Lecce and Bari giving up more. As recently as the 21st week, the Romans were riding high in 2nd position trailing just AC Milan. That peak was achieved after a disastrous slide to the bottom after the sixth week. Now in eighth position it has been a season of bipolar proportions for the 59 year old Rainieri. Vincenzo Motella, the assistant coach takes over in a caretaker capacity till the end of the season. His first order will be to stop this careless leaking of goals.

Dani Aranzubia: Creates La Liga history

95th minute Deportivo de la Coruna is awarded a last gasp corner. The ball comes floating down and a figure in a lime green jersey rises above the thicket of bodies like a champion no 9 and heads the ball goalwards. It is Dani Aranzubia, Depor's custodian soaring into the record books with the first ever goal by a goalkeeper from open play in La Liga history.

The goal evened the score against Almeria and more importantly gave them a 3 point cushion from the drop zone.

Watch Aranzubia's other finest moment. Three penalty stops (PK shootout in its entire 12+ minutes) instrumental in Depor progressing to the next round of the 2008 UEFA Cup at the expense of SK Brann after both teams deadlocked 2-2 on aggregate.

Crouch scores as Spurs shock Milan in late finish

Peter Crouch might have scored the goal but the architect was Aaron Lennon bursting forth leaving Mario Yepes sprawling in his wake.

Spurs shrugged off the loss of Luka Modric and Gareth Bale as they went on the offensive through Rafael Van der Vaart with Sandro and Wilson Palacios bolstering the midfield. A slew of near misses and a goalkeeper change as Marco Amelia came in for the injured Christian Abbiati kept Milan on the backfoot.

On the other hand, Milan looked like they were expecting Spurs to prolong their record of failing to keep a clean sheet. Chances were few and far in between. Massimiliano Allegri opting to keep Clarence Seedorf instead of Alexander Pato was a bit baffling. A realization that dawned too late. Milan redoubled their efforts but Spurs this time were not found wanting. Gomes pulled off a stellar save from Yepes to prevent Milan from levelling.

Milan made waves in other ways as Mathieu Flamini hobbled Vedran Corluka giving Jonathan Woodgate his first start since November 2009. The former Arsenal defender should have been sent off by all indications. Rini Gattuso lived up to his snarling dog reputation headbutting Joe Jordan at halftime.

Spurs now need to hold on at White Hart to keep their Champions League dream alive. Milan will come at them.

Messi hat trick as Barca create a new winning record

Leo Messi got to 25 goals and Barca got to a record 16 consecutive victories.


Lionel Messi scored another sublime hat-trick for Barcelona tonight as the Catalans strolled to a 3-2 victory over Atletico Madrid at the Camp Nou to break Real Madrid's 50-year-old record of 15 straight league victories.

The goal took Messi's Primera Division tally for the season to 24 goals - one more than Cristiano Ronaldo - after 22 games, and the Barça forward has Hugo Sanchez's long-standing record of 38 very much in his sights. Of greater importance to the Catalan club, however, is the difference at the top of the table, which is now ten points over Barça's fierce rivals Real, who host Real Sociedad at the Bernabeu tomorrow.

True Grit: Arsenal overcome Saha's terribly offside goal

Lee Mason's refereeing was atrocious. Louis Saha was miles offside when Seamus Coleman launched his pass to him making him active. The linesman should have raised his flag there and then. End of story. However FIFA's rules are also clear when it comes to Koscielny's situation. An attacker will be penalized for playing the ball being in a previous offside position even if the shot or pass rebounds off an opponent and comes to him.

As many commentators have pointed out this rule prevents players from gaming the system by deliberately trying to get rebounds off goalkeepers or defenders to allow strikers to get onside. Even David Moyes stated that the goal should not have stood.

The aggrieved Koscielny had the last laugh as he headed Robin Van Persie's corner for a gritty comeback win. Another Everton lapse gifted an Andrey Arshavin's equalizer. Not the best display by the Gunners but they hung in tough.

It was left to Samuel Eto'o to pull off a come from behind win to keep Inter on pace with the Serie leaders.

Osasuna vs Real Madrid 1-0 - Full Match Highlights & All Goals - Extended Highlights - 30/1/2011

Osasuna's Javier Camunas sent Real Madrid into a world of pain with a wonderfully placed strike that clipped the woodwork but fortunately went in (Robin Van Persie will have something to say about that). With this loss, Real are 7 points behind Barca and as Sid Lowe points out, the race for the title maybe all but over. Suddenly Manuel Pellegrini does not look so bad.

Mourinho brought on Emmanuel Adebayor, Kaka, and Xabi Alonso (now which club can boast such bench players?) but to no avail. Mesut Oezil seems to be the one creative spark. Ronaldo was quite invisible other than a hissy fit. Real's woes have come on the road against the bottom dwelling clubs like Mallorca, Levante, Almería and Osasuna who seem to be taking inordinate pleasure in sticking it to Fiorentina Perez's Galacticos version 2.
