A sloppy spell of Chelsea possession presented the hosts with a way back into the game as Rondon acrobatically turned James McClean’s deep cross into the path of Morrison to lash a shot past Courtois.

He pulled a goal back for West Brom after goals from Pedro and Costa, and he headed in to make it 3-2 shortly after Terry was dismissed, perhaps harshly, after the defender prevented Rondon from racing through on goal.

However, while Valverde believes that result, which included a remarkable 4-0 win in the home leg, might give them a slight mental advantage over Barca, he is expecting a tough game against the favourites for the title this season. However, not only did they hold on but they were...

After a testing week, a visit to West Bromwich Albion today is the one of the last assignments Jose Mourinho would have chosen for his spluttering Chelsea side.

Rooney’s goalless streak now stretches to nine games for United, and while Memphis was busy peppering the Brugge goal with shots, the England man is still yet to muster a single effort on target this season. As top-flight Premier League football simply doesn’t have...

Despite Chelsea’s interest, Everton manager Roberto Martinez maintains that he has no concerns about Stones’ focus ahead of their “huge game” at home to City.

The side, which is based on the island of Tenerife, is in a daily struggle to pay the bills, but thanks to the fact that Pedro was part of the club until the age of 17 before his move to Barcelona the tiny clubside are now swimming in cash.

Van Gaal also staunchly insisted that United had decided against signing Pedro – rather than having been caught out prevaricating over the deal only to be gazumped by Chelsea, who quickly secured the Spanish global from Barcelona by triggering his €30million (£21.4million)...
