Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel has been given a one-match touchline ban and fined, while Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has been hit in the pocket for their clash in Sunday s fiery London derby.

The two went head-to-head at the side of the pitch before tempers flared once again at the final whistle following a strong handshake, after Harry Kane s last-gasp goal snatched a 2-2 Premier League draw for Spurs at Stamford Bridge.

Both were shown a red card by referee Anthony Taylor and the Football Association on Friday revealed the sanctions imposed, with Tuchel s ban suspended temporarily and the punishment subject to appeal.

In a statement, the FA said: An independent Regulatory Commission has today ordered that Thomas Tuchel be fined £35,000 and banned from the …

Antony was not included in Ajax s matchday squad for Sunday s Eredivisie clash with Sparta Rotterdam amid ongoing links with a move to Manchester United.

The Brazil international is rumoured to have already been the subject of a £67million (€78.9m) bid by United, which the Dutch giants are said to have turned down.

Speaking in an interview published in De Telegraaf on Saturday, Antony suggested his future may lie away from Amsterdam, where he has spent the past two seasons.

And amid reports in the Netherlands that Antony has sat out training this week to help facilitate a move away, the 22-year-old played no part against Sparta on Sunday.

Prediction: Uruguay win

Best Odds: 

Bookmaker: 

The Copa America is well underway by this point, and there have already been a few fascinating results. It feels like the smaller nations are going to really step up and be counted in the next few group stage games, because they know that they need to. The game that we re going to be looking at today will be contested between Uruguay and Japan, and while they may have had very different starts to the tournament, they both have a rich pedigree that should make for an entertaining encounter.

The former world champions have had a rollercoaster ride of a few years, as they prepare to invest in their future as some of their biggest names edge closer and closer towards international retirement. Still, …

Leroy Sane says it is an overwhelming feeling to be crowned Premier League champions with Manchester City, although he would have preferred his side to have claimed the title in different circumstances.

Manchester United denied City the chance to win the league on derby day last weekend with a stunning comeback at the Etihad Stadium, only for Jose Mourinho s men to suffer a shock 1-0 home loss to bottom side West Brom on Sunday.

City are therefore 16 points clear at the top with rivals United having only five matches to play and various records are still in the sights of Pep Guardiola s side.

Sane has been a key performer, contributing 12 Premier League assists and a further nine goals, and he is thrilled to collect the first league title of his career, adding to…

According to , Middlesbrough are close to agreeing a season-long loan deal for Spanish striker Alvaro Negredo.

The former-Manchester City striker is currently plying his trade in his homeland at Valencia.

The striker is expected on Teesside to have a medical later this week if the two clubs can strike a deal. It is believed that the 30-year-old fancies another crack at playing in the English top-flight.

Previous experience of playing in England

Juventus CEO Giuseppe Marotta has confirmed that the club will complete the signing of teenager Rodrigo Bentancur from Boca Juniors.

AC Milan, Inter and Real Madrid have all been closely linked with the highly-rated midfielder who debuted for the Argentine giants in April 2015.

But Juve secured the first option to sign the 19-year-old, along with Guido Vadala, Franco Cristaldo and Adrian Cubas, as part of the deal that saw Carlos Tevez return to his first club from the Italian champions last year.

And Marotta has made it clear that Juventus fully intend to exercise that option by bringing the Uruguayan prospect to Turin next term.

We re always careful about young talents, just like Bentancur, he said.

We have an option on him from the Tevez d…

Southampton are ready to break their transfer record as they look to secure a permanent deal for Toby Alderweireld, .

The Belgium international spent last season on loan at St. Mary’s Stadium from Atletico Madrid, racking up twenty-seven appearances in all competitions while he grabbed his one and only goal in a 3-1 win at Crystal Palace on Boxing Day.

His form saw him gain admirers from a number of Saints’ Premier League rivals, with both Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur also linked with a move for the 26 year old.

Prior to last season Alderweireld played just twenty-two times for Atletico, with his last outing for them coming in the 2013/14 Champions League final, where Diego Simeone’s men were beaten in extra-time by city rivals Real.

Netherlands left it late to get their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign back on track with a 3-1 win over Kazakhstan in Amsterdam on Friday.

The Dutch had started Group A with a shock 2-1 defeat to the Czech Republic last month and coach Guus Hiddink expressed a desire to see his side produce a victory with a performance to match in the build-up to this fixture.

However, Renat Abdulin s headed goal in the 17th minute threatened to subject the hosts to a humiliating defeat.

Netherlands tried their utmost to find a leveller, but it did not look to be their night until Klaas-Jan Huntelaar got his head to an Ibrahim Afellay cross in the 62nd minute.

Baurzhan Dzholchiev saw red for a reckless challenge soon after, and Hiddink s men eventually made their visitors p…

Central Coast Mariners coach Graham Arnold is bracing himself for an improved Sydney FC side on Thursday.

The Mariners embarrassed Sydney in their previous A-League clash on November 3, with a Daniel McBreen hat-trick guiding the 2010-11 grand finalists to a thumping 7-2 victory at Bluetongue Stadium.

Ian Cook resigned four games later, leading to the appointment of former Australia coach Frank Farina.

The dual A-League champions have shown signs of progress under Farina, winning one of their past three fixtures, and Arnold is expecting a difficult encounter for his table-topping outfit.

One thing about his (Farina s) teams are that they are well organised, Arnold said on Wednesday.

He s doing a good job down there at Sydney. I think you can a…

Jeonbuk Motors require victory at Jeju United to seal the K. League title with three games to spare as Pohang Steelers host rivals Ulsan.

Kaio s last-gasp goal ensured Jeonbuk edged Seoul 1-0 last time out and began the Championship Round – in which the top six play one another to conclude the campaign – in style.

The Brazilian striker will now be entrusted with firing Jeonbuk to a sixth successive league victory and a third K-League crown in six years in Seogwipo on Saturday.

The odds certainly favour Jeonbuk. Their run of recent wins have all been secured to nil and they have lost just one of their past 13 encounters with Jeju, who have won only two of their last nine matches.

Jeju, who sit five points behind Pohang, holders of the last AFC Champion…
