    Bournemouth

    Bournemouth caretaker manager Gary O'Neil, speaking ahead of Saturday's Premier League match at Fulham, on winning their previous match against Leicester: "Pleased to win a football match. Also great at home, sure fans enjoyed it. Good performance. No more or less so than other games. Another positive result we take and now we move on to the next one.

    "Think fans are going to be massive for us in home games. The nature of the Premier League, big spells in games will be tough and we'll have to dig in.

    "When you get on top, we need opposition to feel the whole place is together and definitely felt that on Saturday and felt that in all the home games.

    "I think the fans and the players being together and united in those moments is huge. It’s not an easy place to come for away teams. Combining atmosphere with real good on-pitch performance is key."

    • Fulham have won just one of their past 10 league games against Bournemouth (D4 L5), winning 1-0 away from home in April 2019. Both meetings between the sides in the Championship last season ended level.
    • Bournemouth are unbeaten in their past seven away league games against Fulham (W4 D3) since a 2-0 loss in April 1992.
    • The away side has won each of the past five Premier League meetings between two promoted clubs, with both Fulham and Bournemouth winning at Nottingham Forest so far this season. It’s the longest run of away wins in meetings between such sides in the competition’s history.
    • Fulham haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their past seven Premier League games (16 goals conceded in total) since a 0-0 draw with Wolves. The Cottagers have also lost back-to-back league games for the first time this season.
    • Following a run of three defeats during which they conceded 16 goals, and culminating in a 9-0 loss at Liverpool, Bournemouth are unbeaten in each of their last five Premier League games (W2 D3), conceding just four goals in this run.

  10. Anderlecht front up to fan troublepublished at 08:10 British Summer Time 14 October 2022

    West Ham 2-1 Anderlecht

    BBC Sport

    Some clubs could learn a lesson from the pro-active way Anderlecht dealt with the trouble from their fans at the London Stadium last night.

    After manager Felice Mazzu said he hadn't seen it, their media spokesman stepped up, unprompted, to deliver a damning verdict on the visiting supporters behaviour.

    For around 15 minutes, numerous seats went spinning through the air. Evidently, they are made of hard plastic and can hurt someone.

    Lots of flares were lit in the away section as well.

    It really was a disappointing post-script to an otherwise good night for West Ham.

  11. Postpublished at 08:09 British Summer Time 14 October 2022

    We will have a look at the reaction to those matches in today's national newspapers next, but first a quick update on that crowd trouble in West Ham's victory over Anderlecht.

  12. Hearts hammered as Fiorentina hit fivepublished at 08:08 British Summer Time 14 October 2022

    Hearts miseryImage source, Ross MacDonald - SNS Group

    A bad week for Scottish sides in Europe continued as Hearts slumped to a 5-1 defeat at Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League.

    The heavy loss follows damaging defeats for both Celtic and Rangers in the Champions League.

    Robbie Neilson's side were blown away in the first half as Luka Jovic, Cristiano Biraghi, Nicolas Gonzalez and Antonin Barak all fired past Craig Gordon in Florence.

    Stephen Humphrys pulled one back for the visitors inside the first two minutes of the second half, but Gonzalez restored the four-goal cushion from the penalty spot.

    It means Hearts now have to win their two remaining group games against RFS and runaway group leaders Istanbul Basaksehir, and hope that Fiorentina only take a maximum of one point from their remaining fixtures.

  13. Saka winner keeps Arsenal on toppublished at 08:03 British Summer Time 14 October 2022

    Arsenal took a big step towards qualifying for the Europa League knockout stage with a slender 1-0 win at Bodo/Glimt.

    The winner came after Bukayo Saka combined with impressive midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga and his toe-poked effort hit a defender before ricocheting back off his chin and past the helpless goalkeeper.

    The win leaves Arsenal five points clear of third-placed Bodo/Glimt, who have played a game more because the Gunners' fixture against PSV Eindhoven last month was postponed owing to policing issues following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

    The rearranged match with second-placed PSV takes place next Thursday, when a win will guarantee Arsenal's progression.

    Manchester United left it late to claim victory at home to Cypriot side Omonia Nicosia - Scott McTominay scoring in the third minute of stoppage time to seal a 1-0 win.

    A third win of their campaign ensured they remain second in Group E, three points behind leaders Real Sociedad with two games to play.

    "The good thing was the team keep going and they don't give up," said manager Erik ten Hag. "They keep believing and in the end we get the reward. That is the way we have to do it."

  17. Bowen level with West Ham greats Byrne & Crosspublished at 07:48 British Summer Time 14 October 2022

    David Moyes, quite rightly, did not want that crowd trouble to take away attention from what was a great night on the pitch for West Ham.

    Their win ensured qualification to the knockout stages of the Europa Conference League, while Jarrod Bowen's 30th-minute goal, which put West Ham 2-0 up, equalled the club's European goal record.

    Bowen's strike took him level with club greats Johnny Byrne and David Cross on six European goals.

    "It certainly is a feather in his cap," Moyes said of England international Bowen's achievement.

  18. Anderlecht apologise for fans' behaviourpublished at 07:42 British Summer Time 14 October 2022

    Before we have a look at last night's European action in more detail and assess reaction in the national newspapers, I mentioned there was some crowd trouble at the London Stadium.

    Anderlecht have apologised for the behaviour of their fans during their 2-1 defeat by West Ham in the Europa Conference League.

    The closing stages were marred by supporters throwing seats.

    Several flares were set off in the area where the Anderlecht fans were and one was thrown when the visitors pulled a goal back a minute from time.

    Manager Felice Mazzu said he did not see the latter incident but a club spokesman condemned the behaviour.

    "We want to apologise to West Ham," he said. "We don't tolerate this and strongly condemn this behaviour. We will take it up with Uefa and our own fans."

  19. European round-uppublished at 07:37 British Summer Time 14 October 2022

    Manchester United and Arsenal both claimed one-goal wins in the Europa League, while West Ham qualified for the knockout stages of the Europa Conference League.

    Jarrod Bowen equalled the Hammers' all-time European goal record (six) in their 2-1 win over Anderlecht, but the end of the match was marred by crowd trouble - more on that later.

    Hearts, meanwhile, were thrashed by a rampant Fiorentina to leave their Conference League progression hopes hanging in the balance.
