Leeds [UK], Aug 25 : Manchester United's coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has backed Jesse Lingard despite the midfielder's 15-match goalless run. His remarks came after United's 1-2 defeat against Crystal Palace in the Premier League. "No. We stick together. Jesse's not scored any goals in the last three games, no, but he's been a big part of our team and will continue being an important part," Goal.com quoted Solskjaer as saying. "The energy he gives us is lively, but we felt Mason Greenwood had to come on and create something and we'll see more of Mason," he added. Lingard last scored for the team in December 2018. Solskjaer also said that Alexis Sanchez might leave the club if a good offer comes up. The Chile international was once again overlooked for the Premier League match. "Alexis is a quality player and we don't have loads of options. So, if there's an offer good enough for the club and him, maybe he'll go. If not,...

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], Aug 25 (ANI): In the Durand Cup final, Gokualam Kerala defeated Mohun Bagan 2-1 to claim their first-ever title in the 129th edition of the tournament at Salt Lake Stadium here on Saturday. Marcus Joseph was the star of the match, scoring on either side of the half-time break. His efforts in the final took his tally to 11 goals in the tournament, a feat that earned him the Golden Boot and the Golden Ball award. Despite the vociferous support for Bagan, it was Gokulam, who got off on the front foot. Malem Meetei had a chance early on but scuffed his shot wide. Bagan's Spanish defender Francisco Morante was instrumental in keeping the Kerala side out in the early exchanges. Despite his effort, however, it was Joseph, who opened the scoring in the first-half injury time. Kisekka was played through inside the box and was eventually brought down as the referee pointed to the spot. Joseph made no mistake as he slotted the penalty hard and low, silencing...

Joseph (45+1 penalty and 52nd minute) continued his goalscoring spree to help a Kerala outfit win the oldest competition in Asia for the first time since FC Kochin won it 22 years ago. City soccer giants Mohun Bagan, who last won the Durand Cup in 2000, have now lost in three finals on the trot (2004, 2009, 2019). For the Mariners, Salva Chamorro (64th) scored a consolation goal. It was tense in the final quarter as the hosts searched for a equaliser and even saw Gokulam go down to 10-men when Jestin George was shown a second yellow card for a foul on Lalchhawnkima in the 87th minute. Mohun Bagan had a flurry of chances in both the halves but were guilty of spurning them as Gokulam Kerala held on after Joseph gave them the lead and added to his tally in the second half. Mohun Bagan's best chance to draw level came three minutes after Chamorro scored but Henry Kisekka failed to convert a brilliant cross. via Sify.com https://ift.tt/2ZpKfF8
