Kevin De Bruyne hailed Manchester City's mental strength after the Premier League leaders put a torrid week behind them to move within a win of the title by beating Tottenham 3-1.

after 25 Zack Cozart Jersey minutes at Wembley.

But, as in their 3-2 defeat to Manchester United last weekend and Champions League lo s at the hands of Liverpool in midweek, City looked set to have a Luis Valbuena Jersey lead wiped out when Christian Eriksen reduced the arrears in the 42nd minute.

The visitors withstood Spurs pre sure early in the second half and, having pa sed up a pair of clear chances in quick succe sion, Raheem Sterling sealed the points by beating Hugo Lloris on the rebound after the Tottenham goalkeeper denied Gabriel Jesus.

"We spoke before the game that the performances against United and Liverpool were good. We deserved to win these games but it didn't happen. This is football," Julio Teheran Jersey De Bruyne told Sky Sports.

"Today we scored the goals and we defended better.

"Everybody felt it was tough, everybody feels a little bit Brian Goodwin Jersey of tiredne s. It's been a tough game for us.

"Spurs didn't have a game for a week. That's the advantage they had. The mental toughne s of this team is unbelievable."

"In the game against United I snatched at a few," he told Sky Sports. "Today I tried to take my time, got around Justin Upton Jersey the goalkeeper and the defender blocked it."

Sterling added: "We needed a big turnaround and I thought from the beginning we started off strong.

"They put us under pre sure but we dealt with it well and came through."

Both sides will know their fates inside the next three hours as Germany and Sweden meet in Sochi. A win for the Swedes would give them two wins from as many games and put them joint-top of Group F with Mexico with a game to Lenny Dykstra Jersey go, leaving the world champions and South Korea unable to catch them. A draw too would prove to be enough to send Mexico through the knockout rounds, with only Sweden capable of knocking them off the perch, whilst it would also send South Korea home with a game to go. But if Germany win, then all four sides remain in contention to either progre s or mi s out. It's certainly going to be a nervy day for Group F; until the next time though, thank you for joining us - and have a good weekend!

Mexico hold on to win consecutive World Cup games for the first time since 2002! Son Heung-min's injury-time goal set up a nervy final few minutes at Rostov Arena but in the end, Javier Hernandez's 50th goal for his country proved to be the vital difference between Mexico and South Korea as the former put one foot into the knockout stages and the latter sit of the cusp of elimination from Group F. Full-time in Rostov-on-Don, it finishes South Korea 1-2 Mexico.

FULL TIME South Korea 1-2 Mexico

90+3 Mins:GOAL! South Korea get one back with Heung Min-Son scoring an absolute screamer he cuts in from the right before curling the ball into the top corner with power. Too little too late for South Korea though as just one minute remains.

Jeurys Familia Jersey 90 Mins:There's going to be five added minutes in Rostov-on-Don; can Mexico find a third to add a little more glo s to the result?

88 Mins:Son cuts a path down the middle of the Mexican half and goes for goal from 22 yards, pushing his effort well over the cro sbar. It's been a frustrating World Cup for him - and he looks set to be on an early flight home too.

84 Mins:Kim Min-woo is the final man to be subbed for South Korea with Hong Chul on in his place.

82 Mins:Alvarez goes down on the edge of his own box with what looks like cramp and after a moment, play resumes with Son trying a shot from distance that rebounds off the legs of Salcedo.

80 Mins:Jung becomes the fourth man into the book for South Korea now after he comes in heavily on Hernandez.

77 Mins:Play resumes now with some more changes; Moon is replaced by Jung Woo-Young for South Koreaand Giovani dos Santos comes on for Vela for Mexico.

75 Mins:Tempers flare over a little as South Korea blow a golden chance. Ochoa plays short to Marquez who plays back - lazily - to his keeper, allowing Son to dart in an intercept. The defender recovers in time to stop the shot and deny two more attempts; the ball eventually rolls back to Ochoa but not before Ki slides in on him, apparently injuring the keeper, and sparking a bout of shoving between players in the box.

74 Mins:Moon turns in a cro s from the right looking Ki but only finds Marquez; South Korea get a second bite a moment later as Lee lays on a Mookie Wilson Jersey pa s for Ki that takes a deflection into the arms of Ochoa.

72 Mins:Lee Seung-Woo is the third man to go into the book for South Korea as he brings down Layun with a bad foul out on the right wing.

71 Mins:Hirving Lozano comes off for Jesus Corona.

70 Mins:Hwang puts a bobbling shot in from the left edge of the Mexican box that Ochoa does well to hold onto. Son feels he was taken out late serving up the a sist; the referee waves him away and the Mexican keeper puts it deep.

68 Mins:As the game gets back underway, Guardado is replaced by Rafael Marquez for Mexico, with their first chage of the game.

66 Mins:HERNANDEZ Yoenis Cespedes Jersey SCORES! 2-0 TO MEXICO! It's the 50th goal for Javier Hernandez in national colours as he steps inside two defenders with a ball clipped to him by Lozano eight yards out on the left, and he drills it in at the right corner past Cho before wheeling off in celebration. Mexico go wild; South Korea look forlorn. That could be the game.

64 Mins:Lee Seung-Woo is introduced off the bench in place of Ju to give the midfield some added pace.

63 Mins:Lee Yong becomes the second man to see yellow in this match as he comes in heavy on Lozano in midfield. South Korea look like they are about to make a change.

62 Mins:This is thrilling, end-to-end stuff. Lee Jae-sung sees a powerful effort blocked by Salcedo at one end; down the other, Vela curls a dipping ball just over the cro sbar from 18 yards out. There's definitely the sense that a goal is coming in Rostov-on-Don.

60 Mins:Mexico aren't able to pre s from the set-piece but a moment Gary Carter Jersey later, Moreno intercepts and cuts his way through the Korean defence to the opposition box. He plays a throughball in for Lozano; Kim Young-gwon gets in the way of the attacking midfielder's shot.

59 Mins:Guardado! The Mexican captain sees a fabulous effort curled towards the top-left corner just pushed wide by a leaping Cho. South Korea concede the corner.

58 Mins:Kim Young-gwon is the first player to be booked in this match after he brings Vela down 25 yards out from the South Korean goal. Free-kick to Mexico...

56 Mins:Ki! A rocket of an effort from the South Korean, driven in from outside the box, is bobbled by Ochoa before he claims at the second attempt. Mexico rode their luck there after Son oppened them up to present the oppertunity.

55 Mins:Mexico win themselves a free-kick 30 yards out on the left with Layun tips into the box, putting it straight to Cho who has no difficulty in claiming it.

53 Mins:Lee Jae-sung curls a left-footed effort in that runs close, but Ochoa gets low enough to save it at the bottom-right corner. South Korea know that an equaliser is a lifeline in avoiding an early flight home, and they are slowly growing in confidence.

52 Mins:Salcedo deflects a Moon effort inside the Mexican box on the back of a counter-attack, and the South Korean players appeal loudly for handball. The referee is unmoved however and they instead have a corner.

51 Mins:Hernandez tries his luck from distance now and like Lozano before him, he can only steer his shot some distance above the cro sbar after foxing the Korean centre-back pair.

50 Mins:Lozano! The Mexican man makes a great first touch and takes a lovely step in off his outside foot to get around Juan Lagares Jersey Kim Young-gwon and Jang on the edge of the Korean box, only to send his effort sailing well over the goal.

STAT:S

Aaron Wan-Bi sakas bright start to life in Crystal Palace first Chipper Jones Jersey team has left manager Roy Hodgson amazed.

Wan-Bi saka, 20, was opportune to earn his first senior cap with the Eagles in an English Premier League encounter against Tottenham Hotspur on February 25, after the Selhurst Park outfit were hit with injuries in their defensive department.

And the right-back has continued in the role as he featured in consequent games against Manchester Bob Uecker Jersey United, Chelsea and Huddersfield Town - where he helped the Selhurst Park outfit secure their first win in eight games.

And Hodgson has admitted that he is surprised at how the youngster - who only started training with the senior side about two months ago - has handled the transition to top-flight football.

To come in like he did against Tottenham and then Manchester Dansby Swanson Jersey United and Chelsea and now Huddersfield, thats four really, really tough games, Hodgson said.

Im amazed really at how well hes handled it because for long periods he was down with the Under-23s and just made sporadic appearances with the first-team squad. It was about two months ago now where I said Id Dale Murphy Jersey like you training with us more regularly.

Weve had Joel Ward now injured for three or four months he at the start of the season was the right-back and then of course Timothy Fosu-Mensah who couldnt play against Manchester United anyway due to loan deal terms so its these type of things that made me lift Aaron up a bit earlier than I would otherwise normally Greg Maddux Jersey have done, but Im glad I have done because hes handled it.

Although Wan-Bi saka has featured once for DR Congo U15 side in 2015, he has been invited to the England U20 squad. But the London-born youngster is still eligible to feature for either country at international level. Kurt Suzuki Jersey

Thierry Henry says he will only return to social media "when it is safe" after deleting his accounts amid an ongoing online storm of racial abuse directed at footballers.

The former Arsenal andBarcelonastriker disabled his Twitter and Instagram profiles on Saturday, as one of the highest-profile victims of an increasingly toxic virtual sphere.

The 43-year-old announced his decision to shut down his online presence on Friday and Khalil Mack Jersey has repeatedcalls for increased accountability.

What has Henry said?

"Recently it happened to me off social media, it happened on social media," the former France forward told Good Morning Britain in reference to the abuse directed towards him in recent weeks. "But recently it's been coming quite a lot, players getting abused. I just think that social media is not a safe place at the minute.

"People are getting racially abused but, when you see Leonard Floyd Jersey the statement, I talk also about bullying, hara sment that can cause mental i sues, people commit suicide because of it.

"It' Prince Amukamara Jersey s very difficult to eradicate everything but can it be safer? We all know that it is a great tool but a lot of people are using it as a weapon. Why? Because they can hide behind fake accounts.

"I know that a little portion of the world is using it as a weapon. 'Can it be safer?' is all I am asking. I Jonathan Bullard Jersey will be back on it, when it's safe."

Legend calls for accountability

Henry, who stepped down as manager of Montreal Impact in Major League Soccer last month, feels that tech giants behind social media platforms are not doing enough to combat the spread of racism and hate speech on their sites.

"Basically, I had enough of what I heard as an answer all the time," he added. "Social media always say that 'we are investigating it, we are trying to do stuff to eradicate it' but enough is enough because I found out that if you want to upload a video on social media, they will block it, you can't even send it.

"We all know why: because of the copyright, because money is involved, so it is different. Now for that Trey Burton Jersey they can create algorithms to make sure that you don't do it. They will stop you there, they will act strongly there.

"I know people will tell me 'freedom of speech' and 'a word can be used in different ways', but listen, you cannot go in a cinema and shout whatever you want, you can't shout whatever you want in the street, you can't shout whatever you want at an airport. You can't cro s the line. All I want is accountability. We need to Richard Dent Jersey find out who those people are."

Manchester United and Tottenham have been warned that Kieran Tierney would cost more than 20 million by former Celtic striker John Hartson.

Tierney has been instrumental in Celtics last two title-winning campaigns and has been tipped to follow the likes of Victor Wanyama and Virgil van Dijk in becoming a leading Premier League player after leaving Celtic Park.

United and Tottenham have reportedly been Michal Kempny Jersey looking at Tierney as a solution to their left-back position, and the 20-year-old has also been linked with a 20m move to Bournemouth.

However, Hartson has laughed off that price tag and suggests that any offers for Tierney in that region would be quickly dismi sed by Celtic.

20m from Bournemouth? Give me a break. Im not having that. I wouldnt Dennis Maruk Jersey be entertaining that for a second, said Hartson in his .

First things first. Celtic dont want to sell and the boy doesnt want to go. Second of all, how high he goes is entirely up to him.

I wont be the first person or last to say this but Kieran is a player who has the potential to go all Jaromir Jagr Jersey the way to be the very top in the game and I mean the very top. But only if he makes that call himself Tom Wilson Jersey .

There will always be offers on the table if you are playing as well as he is. Thats good for him, it shows just how much he is progre sing and the fact that so many clubs are continually keeping tabs on him will tell you the esteem with which he is held.

Hartson believes that it is not beyond the realms of po sibility that Tierney stays with Celtic despite interest from the bigger clubs.

He added: I know how happy and how settled he is at Celtic. Who is to say that he doesnt buck the trend and decide to be a one-club man? Its no-one elses decision to make other than his.

Tierney's attributes have also been Nicklas Backstrom Jersey compared to a former England international by Hartson, who said:He reminds me very much of a young Stuart Pearce.

"He has everything; pace, athleticism, strength, he can cro s, he can score, he can defend. Physically he has really worked since he first broke into the Celtic team to work on his stamina and on his Evgeny Kuznetsov Jersey strength, and he has got the rewards for that.

Three of 's top players have been ruled out of Saturday's match against Scotland, manager Juan Carlos Osorio said Friday.

There have been concerns about the fitne s of defenders Ray-Ray Armstrong Jersey Hector Moreno and Diego Reyes as well as midfielder after all three arrived to Mexico camp carrying various injuries from their seasons in Europe.

"For tomorrows game vs. Scotland, none of the three are going to be there: Hector, Diego or Andres," he said in a Joe Thomas Jersey news conference."Because of a decision by the medical department, their rehabilitation proce s has been extended a week more. We hope theyll be available for the game in Copenhagen vs. Denmark."

Osorio had set Saturday's send-off match at the Sheldon Richardson Jersey Estadio Azteca as a deadline for the players to get to top fitne s but is set to reverse course and take 25 players to Denmark for El Tri's final friendly match before the World Cup.

"The idea is to take two more players, precisely because of the injured players because nobody can guarantee with certainty that theyre going to be there, at least maybe not all three. We Christian Kirksey Jersey ve made this decision because of the scenario, but obviously I have to comply with the norms," he said.

That likely will mean Osorio's 23-man roster will bereleased with two of the players learning their fate in Denmark as back-ups. As of yet, though, Osorio said he hadn't spoken with the players who will be cover for the injured center backs or Guardado.

Pachuca midfielder Erick Gutierrez also is a left-footed midfielder who can play interior midfielder and join the attack and is the most likely replacement for Guardado if the Real Betis midfielder Antonio Callaway Jersey isn't able to recover from a nerve procedure in his leghe underwent just after the European season. Reyes has a hamstring i sue, while Moreno is nursing a calf i sue. The left-footed center back Oswaldo Alanis could earn a spot if one Joe Schobert Jersey or both of those players can't go - though the Chivas center back may already be headed to Ru sia. If so, 20-year-old Edson Alvarez could get the call.

Commentators acro s the football world are struggling to explain the phenomenon that is Mohamed Salah, but one Armani Watts Jersey Liverpool team-mate reckons he knows the secret to the Egyptians succe s.

Salah was conducting an interview in the mixed zone at Anfield on Saturday evening, reflecting on his sides 3-0 win over Bournemouth as well as his 40th goal of a remarkable campaign, when Virgil van Dijk, strolling past, interrupted.

Lucky! grinned the Dutchman. Salah, unperturbed, finished the interview.

Van Dijk is joking, of course. There is nothing lucky about Salahs rise; the fortunate ones are those who get to enjoy his exploits, week in and week out.

The records continue to tumble. Hes already enjoying the most prolific debut season in Liverpool history. No Reds player has ever reached 40 goals as quickly.

Hes the only man to score in 22 different Premier League games in a season, and soon, surely, he will break the record for goals in a 38-game campaign. At Anfield, he has his eye on Ian Rushs record of 47 goals in a single season.

His form, quite simply, is incredible. Liverpool knew they were getting a good player when they signed him, but even they could not have foreseen this kind of impact. The 36.9 million paid to Roma was a steal.

So what happened, then? How did he go from being a good player to the force of nature we see now?

Credit must go to Salah first and foremost. The Egyptians first experience in the Premier League at Chelseawas difficult, but he has taken his second chance with both hands. His work ethic, attitude and willingne s to develop and to fit in has been noted by everyone at Anfield. Hes a popular figure at Melwood, and not just because of his scoring record. Humble, quiet and a positive presence, he has had no problem integrating with a close-knit Liverpool squad.

Vital, too, has been the role of Jurgen Klopp, who has not only been able Dustin Colquitt Jersey to use Salahs qualities but to improve them.

Klopp had first noted Salahs talent during the summer of 2013, when his Boru sia Dortmund team ran into Salahs Basel in a pre-season friendly. Discu sing the small, lightning-quick winger with his coaching staff afterwards, he was amazed.

We didnt know him, Klopp would later say. Chad Henne Jersey It was: What the f***?! It was unbelievable.

Klopp, naturally, would track Salahs progre s from Basel to Chelsea and then on to Italy, first with Fiorentina and then with Roma. Liverpools recruitment team, too, were all over him.

They had been close to landing him in January 2014, after a lengthy pursuit. Reds scouts performed detailed background checks, going so far as to attend a Basel training camp in the town of Davos in the Swi s Alps. There, they made notes on Salahs mentality, attitude, the way he trained and the manner in which he interacted with team-mates, coaches and anyone else he came into contact with. The reports were overwhelmingly positive.

Their diligence would not be rewarded, however, as Liverpool were pipped to his signing by Chelsea, who were seeking a player following Juan Matas transfer to Manchester United. It didnt work out for Salah at Stamford Bridge. He made just 19 appearances, and admits it was probably the wrong time (and perhaps under the wrong manager) for him to come to England.

His move to Italy, though, was a smart one, as was his decision to change his agent. Liverpool, through sporting director Michael Edwards, head of scouting Dave Fallows and chief scout Barry Hunter, continued to monitor him closely.

By the time 2017 arrived, they were convinced that he was the one, and that he was gettable. Their report, fleshed out by their Italy-based scout Paul Goldrick, was fed back to Klopp.

The me sage was simple:This guy will score goals, trust us!

Klopp, by that time, was eager to add to his attacking options. He had seen how Liverpool struggled when Sadio Mane was absent or off-colour, and he was keen to see Philippe Coutinho move back into a deeper role in midfield. He wanted speed, he wanted dynamism, he wanted goals. He needed someone who, like Mane, could both connect with and get beyond Roberto Firmino. Klopps faith in the Brazilian is absolute. His side, to a large extent, revolves around the No.9's brilliance.

He looked at other targets. Liverpool tried to sign Christian Pulisic from Dortmund but found the price too hefty. A pair of Julians, Draxler and Brandt, were seriously considered and continue to be tracked. Neither, though, could Khalen Saunders Jersey match Salahs raw output.

The referenced media source is mi sing and needs to be re-embedded.

Liverpool had seen the goals he scored at Roma, and felt he could be even better Jordan Lucas Jersey on Merseyside. The Italians played with a more orthodox No.9 than Liverpool, with Edin Dzeko leading their line, but still Salah consistently found himself in the box, in dangerous positions. His last season at the Stadio Olimpico brought 19 goals in all competitions - he should have scored more.

One of Klopps strengths as a manager is his willingne s to trust the opinion of others and with Edwards, Fallows and Hunter all in agreement that this was THE signing to make "They just didn't get out of our ears about him! he was happy to take the plunge. Keen to avoid a repeat of what happened in 2014, Liverpool allowed the deal be conducted, to a large extent, away from the media.

His signing was officially confirmed on June 22, 2017. Crucially, this gave Klopp the chance to work with the new signingfor the entirety of pre-season. The benefit of this, and of the tactical work and conversations that took place last summer, have been seen throughout the campaign.

Liverpool were impre sed by Salahs physicality upon his arrival at Melwood. At Roma, he had been encouraged by Luciano Spalletti to work on his upper body, on shielding and protecting the ball in tight areas, facing the play or with back to goal. Wingers dont get space in every game, Spalletti reasoned, they need to have variation in their game. They need to be able to operate in tight spaces too.

Salah certainly can. Witne s his goals against Everton and Leicester in Derrick Nnadi Jersey December, or that solo strike against Tottenham in February. If you watch him only on TV he looks quite skinny, Klopp says. But he is so physically strong.

Tactically, too, Klopp found a player willing to listen. He spoke with the player a lot during pre-season, and liked what he heard. He used trips to Hong Kong and Germany to get acro s his idea of how Liverpool would play with Salah in the side.

Repetitive training drills focused on getting him to play inside rather than outside. The idea was that Liverpools full-backs would provide the width in the team, with Salah, Mane and Firmino free to wreak havoc infield - "organised mayhem,"

A court in Brazil has seized the pa sports of Ronaldinho and his brother over their failure to pay a fine for building on an environmental protection area.

The former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star and his brother, Roberto, were convicted of illegal construction in February 2015 and ordered to pay8.5 million Brazilian Real ($2.27 million).

Along with company Reno Constructions and Incorporations Ltd., they were found to have built asugar mill with a James Hurst Jersey fishing platform and a pier in a permanent preservation area on Lake Guaba without permi sion.

Having so far defaulted on the payments and proving difficult to track down, the 38-year-old and his brother were taken to court again, and the public prosecutor said that an investigation into their bank accounts revealed a balance of just 24.63 Brazilian Real ($6.59).

"There isno other measure than the retention of the pa Jimmy Smith Jersey sports as a coercive measure in the face of repeated unfair, abusive and total disrespect, disobedience and non-compliance with the legal system," the prosecutor argued.

The court in Rio Grande do Sul, the 2005 Ballon d'Or winner'shome state, has now ruled that the footballing icon must submit his pa sport when he returns to Brazil from his current travels.

A : "The subjects responsible for the depletion of the environment have long Iman Marshall Jersey been evading compliance with their legal obligations, even though they have the means to settle it and are public figures with high purchasing power able to compensate for the environmental damages that remain fully defaulted."

He continued:"Although photographed routinely in different parts of the world, corroborated by the gathering of Certificates of Migratory Movements, the defendants, curiously, in their Matt Judon Jersey country of origin, have an uncertain and/or unknown whereabouts.

"I determine the immediate seizure of the pa sports of the defendantsby the authorities, with the additional order to include restriction on i suing a new pa sportuntil the fulfillment of the obligation determined in the sentence."

Ronaldinho officially retired from football earlier this year, having not played profe sionally since leaving Brazilian sideFluminense in 2015.

He was capped 97 times by Brazil, scoring 33 goals including two en route to World Cup glory in Japan and South Korea in 2002.

He joined Paris Saint-Germain from Gremio to begin his European career, which flourished spectacularly at Barcelona between 2003 and 2008.

Ronaldinho inspired back-to-back LaLiga triumphs in 2004-05 and 2005- Ben Powers Jersey 06, also winning the Champions League in the latter season.

He was at the peak of his powers as he claimed the Ballon d'Or in 2005; le s so during a three-year stay with AC Milan, although he did feature in all-star line-ups alongside the likes of Paolo Maldini, Kaka and David Beckham.

Ronaldinho left San Siro midway through the Serie A title-winning 2010-11 season and returned to his Justin Tucker Jersey homeland with Flamengo. He also experienced stints at Atletico Mineiro and in Mexico with Queretaro.

"It's very difficult to do what we do and I think we're a vintage team. I've spent many years at Real Madrid and there were a few seasons where we didn't even scratch a ball in Europe.

"It's also important to have the stability that exists at thisclub. When I came Kenny Vaccaro Jersey , there was a lot of changing of coaches and presidents. The dre sing room was divided and that's never good.
