    Man Utd 1-0 Chelsea

    Still plenty of space in that Manchester United midfield for Chelsea to exploit.

    Pedro looks to do just that, bending a 20-yard shot which is deflected out for an away corner.

    That comes to nothing though and the home side survive.

    The Blues win a corner... those in the away end who aren't back from the loo might be sorry... nope, they not missed much. Kurt Zouma has the chance to redeem himself, only to head over the bar.

  7. 'As long as you get the right decision, that's what we want'published at 17:31 British Summer Time 11 August 2019

    Leicester City

    More from Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers: "It was a good game, two well-managed teams. At this time of the season it's never going to be perfect but I'm really pleased with the attitude. Sometimes in these games you can lose 1-0 but we kept fighting to the end.

    "At this level every point is important and if you cannot win you take a point and work hard to improve next week."

    On the VAR decision that saw Wolves have a goal ruled out for handball: "I'm a massive fan of VAR. I've said all along that some will go for you like it did today and some will go against you like it has done for Nuno today.

    "It has to always be consistent and if there's a handball and that leads to a goal it gets ruled out. The officials are trying to work it the best they can.

    "It's not perfect yet but as long as you get to the right decision that's what we want."

    Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers praised defender Caglar Soyuncu, who had come into the Foxes side for Harry Maguire, after the England international's £80m move to Manchester United

    "Caglar was excellent," said the Foxes boss. "He got a round of applause at the end from his team-mates and it's not easy to come in for a special player like Harry, but Caglar was strong and comfortable on the ball."

    Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo said the new VAR rules could "ruin the game" after having a potentially match-winning goal ruled out.

    "I haven't seen the images but I trust them, if they saw it what can we do," said Nuno.

    "Things that weren't [that way] before shouldn't be now. We have such a nice Premier League, such a product, we cannot lose that.

    "It's what fans come for, to celebrate, not to celebrate a no goal - that's not the real celebration of football. It's not good for the atmosphere of football. The Leicester fans were celebrating the no goal, that's not the mindset of the game.

    "What I'm concerned about, is let's not ruin the game.

    "Two minutes the game stopped. The anxiety of us celebrating, then we waited - it's not the spirit of the game."

    Wolves midfielder Leander Dendocker, who had a goal ruled out by a VAR decision: "I thought it was a goal, we were ready to start again and VAR [on the big screen] said it might've seen something and I was surprised.

    "Willy Boly was just jumping and I had no clue it was a handball. It's a new rule so we have to adapt to it and get used to it."

    Arsenal manager Unai Emery: "A very good three points, we played very solid and I also think we controlled a lot of the game over 90 minutes but we can improve more.

    "I want to win, I want to score and I want to do a clean sheet. Today we won and we did that.

    "For our confidence that victory is very important, we played with some young players and that gave them the chance to improve."

    Newcastle manager Steve Bruce: "I thought we were OK first half and unfortunately we have gifted a goal to a very good team. Other than that there was little in it. We made a mistake and it has cost us.

    "I felt we deserved something, we had the better opportunities.

    "Sometimes a team like Arsenal can undo you with a couple of one-twos and put it in the top bin, but we've given the ball away in a bad area.

    "We stuck at it, the players couldn't give us anything else, they were terrific until the end. We've conceded a poor goal and they're disappointed in there in the changing room.

    "At this level against a really good team giving away a goal like that is really disappointing."

    On his first game in charge of boyhood club Newcastle: "Its one I'll never forget, I'm disappointed with the result but it is a wonderful privilege to manage this great club

    "We've only been together for two or three weeks, four or five players walked in the door in the last week, I believe we will improve."

    Lampard's frustrated because he knows his team have been very much in this game.

    He will probably get in there and will be reminding them that they have played the better football of the two teams and they are behind because they have lacked a bit of concentration and a bit of focus at important times.

    They have had balls flashing across the box and I actually think they have looked the better out of the two teams.

    Phew. That's an exhilarated, 'let me catch my breath' phew, not a bored, 'wake me up' phew.

    A frantic, fabulous 45 minutes of entertainment.

    And, at the end, Manchester United are somehow ahead thanks to Marcus Rashford's expertly-taken penalty.

    Patient passing from Chelsea as United get all 11 men behind the ball. An angled delivery into the box from Mateo Kovacic is eyed by David de Gea, who calmly comes out to pluck from the Salford sky.

    That should be about that...

    United try to calm things down with a bit of game-management... until Marcus Rashford gives the ball away again.

    Home centre-back Victor Lindelof comes to the rescue though, out-muscling Tammy Abraham to win the ball back.

    Khael Malik: The Man Utd midfield has been non-existent, making their decision not to strengthen before the transfer deadline all the more curious.
