    Didier Drogba became the first man to score in four FA Cup finals as Chelsea overcame Liverpool at Wembley thanks to another massive goal-line controversy. The Blues appeared to be cruising when Drogba scored at the start of the second half following Ramires' early opener, but the arrival of Andy Carroll turned the game on its head. He smashed home a superb goal not long after his arrival, then, with nine minutes left, rose to meet Luis Suarez's cross at the far post. The goal was not given - and television replays proved inconclusive - as Chelsea won the trophy before a few weeks later adding the European Cup.

"There were two buses parked today, never mind one," said the Liverpool boss after Steven Gerrard's costly slip led to Demba Ba's opening goal. Substitute Willian scored a breakaway second in the final seconds as Chelsea secured a memorable win which aided Manchester City in the title race.

  9. Pardew not rushing Gutierrez backpublished at 17:32 Greenwich Mean Time 7 November 2014

    Newcastle boss Alan Pardew has revealed the club will not rush Jonas Gutierrez as he prepares to resume his career after his battle with testicular cancer.

    The 31-year-old Argentine was this week discharged by medics and has been told he could return to training within a month.

    Pardew said: "It's massive news for the squad because he is a much-loved figure here, and to get the all-clear...

    "We had a response from his surgeon to say that in about a month's time, he can cope with professional training, so we are not rushing him in any shape or form, just letting Jonas have some time because it's such an illness that you do need a lot of recovery time for that."

  12. Next month crucial - Poyetpublished at 17:15 Greenwich Mean Time 7 November 2014

    Sunderland boss Gus Poyet says his side's pre-Christmas run-in will prove crucial to plotting the Black Cats' destiny in the Premier League this season.

    Monday night's hard-fought win at Crystal Palace moved Poyet's men two points clear of the relegation zone and victory over Everton on Sunday could conceivably launch them into the top 10.

    Poyet said: "I think it will depend on the next three or four games. It can set up a different situation where we are really pushing for something this year, or do you want to suffer all the time at the bottom?"

    Andy Murray arrives at London's O2 Arena off the back of an exhausting six-week run of tournaments, with just this week free before the ATP World Tour Finals begin on Sunday.

    The Briton won three titles as he battled his way to a place at the season-ending championships, and hopes he is now ready to take down the likes of Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic before the year ends.

    "I was getting asked earlier in the year about not beating someone in the top 15, then it was top 12, top 10, top eight, then top five, and now obviously this is the last step," said Murray.

    "Whether I win against one of them this week or not remains to be seen but I'll give it my best shot. I still believe I can win against them and that's half the battle."

    Everton boss Roberto Martinez has revealed Antolin Alcaraz is set to be out for a maximum of five weeks after it was decided the Toffees defender does not require shoulder surgery.

    Providing an update on Friday ahead of Sunday's league trip to Sunderland, the manager said: "We decided not to go through surgery.

    "I think the specialist feels that is the best way to approach the injury, which is great news - it reduces the period that Antolin is going to be out for."
