Gervinho struck deep into stoppage time to earn Parma a thrilling 3-3 draw at Serie A leaders Juventus.

The visitors fought back from 3-1 down at the Allianz Stadium, where Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice and Daniele Rugani was also on target.

Antonino Barilla headed in for Parma before Gervinho came to the fore, cutting the deficit 16 minutes from time with a neat flick and then firing in a close-range leveller at the death.

With Napoli having won earlier on Saturday, Juve s lead is now nine points, bringing a disappointing week for Massimiliano Allegri s men to an end after Wednesday s 3-0 Coppa Italia loss to Atalanta.

FT: It finishes in a draw at the Allianz.

Wilfried Zaha returned to inspire Crystal Palace as the Eagles recorded their first goals and points of the season en route to consigning Chelsea to back-to-back Premier League defeats.

Flying winger Zaha injured his right knee during the opening-day defeat to Huddersfield Town and has been powerless as Palace lost their opening seven league matches without scoring a goal.

Another defeat to nil would have set an unwanted English league record at nine, including one at the end of last season, but Selhurst Park erupted early on when an Andros Townsend cross crept past Thibaut Courtois via a combination of Yohan Cabaye and Cesar Azpilicueta.

Tiemoue Bakayoko was given the freedom of the Palace area to head home his first Premier League goal and level the scores, b…

Manchester United are interested in signing David Carmo from Braga in the January transfer window, according to . It has been reported that other clubs in England are also keen on the 21-year-old central defender, while AS Roma and Fiorentina in Italy expressed an interest in securing his services in the summer of 2020.

United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reportedly keen on signing a left-sided centre-back, and Carmo is among the players he is considering. The 21-year-old has been on the books of Braga since 2015 and is starting to establish himself as a regular in the first team. According to , Carmo has played five times in the Portuguese league and three in the Europa League so far this season, while during the 2020-21 campaign, he made 16 starts and two substitute appear…

According to a recent report from Sky Sports News, Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Patrick Cutrone has changed his mind and will now be leaving the club during the January transfer window. 

He has agreed to a move that will see him join Italian side Fiorentina, which comes just a matter of days after talks broke down with Cutrone returning to training with the Wolves first team squad. Last night, though, talks got back underway with a loan deal being agreed prior to a potential permanent move. 

Cutrone has rarely featured in the starting XI this season at Molineux with the likes of Raul Jimenez, Diogo Jota and Adama Traore all keeping him out of the side on a week to week basis. 

On the rare occasion that the Italian was seemingly being positioned to star…

Hakim Ziyech ensured Chelsea remained at the Premier League summit with a 2-1 victory over Watford at Vicarage Road on Wednesday. 

The Blues looked set to hand their title rivals a boost by dropping points for the third time in four games, but substitute Ziyech made a decisive impact in the 72nd minute.

Mason Mount gave Chelsea the lead after play was suspended for around half and hour when a fan suffered a cardiac arrest in the stands. Watford later confirmed the individual had been stabilised. 

Emmanuel Dennis equalised before half-time but Mount teed up Ziyech for his first Premier League goal of the season to remove the threat of Thomas Tuchel s men being overtaken by Manchester City or Liverpool.

Watford started brightly and Edouard M…

Bayer Leverkusen have confirmed the signing of winger Demarai Gray from Premier League side Leicester City.

Gray joined Leicester from Birmingham City midway through 2015-16 and went on to help the Foxes to a sensational title triumph that season.

He went on to feature 133 times in the top flight, scoring 10 goals and providing nine assists, but never really established himself as a first-team regular under Brendan Rodgers.

With his contract at Leicester having been set to expire at the end of 2020-21, Gray – who was linked with a number of Premier League clubs – has made the move to Germany.

The 24-year-old made just one league appearance this term, totalling 18 minutes, and joins a Leverkusen side who sit fourth in the Bundesliga.

Wigan have been hit with a second four-point penalty over payment of wages and will start next season on minus eight points in League One.

The Latics were handed the initial deduction last week in response to two late payments in March and May, with a further four points suspended. An independent disciplinary commission required funds equal to 125 per cent of the club’s forecast monthly wage bill to be paid into a nominated account by Wednesday, but that has not been done.

As a result, the additional sanction has been enforced.

Dean Smith says Leicester have the capability to bounce straight back to the Premier League after they were relegated on Sunday.

The Foxes became just the second former champions to drop out of the division, joining Blackburn in 1999, as their 2-1 final-day win against West Ham was not enough to keep them in the division due to Everton’s victory over Bournemouth.

They went 2-0 up thanks to goals from Harvey Barnes and Wout Faes, with Pablo Fornals pulling one back for the Hammers, but it counted for nothing.
