Aston Villa are once more hot on Arsenal’s heels.

Awful Arsenal suffered a major blow in the Premier League title race as they crumbled to a 2-1 home defeat to Bournemouth, their third loss in four in all competitions. Mikel Arteta's side were second best all over the pitch on a dismal afternoon for the league leaders, who missed out on the opportunity to open up a 12 point gap over rivals Manchester City ahead of their game at Chelsea on Sunday.

A return that worries everyone… but reassures Madrid

When England's Under-23s took on Norway back in November, there was no shortage of top talent on show. Be it Ruby Mace or Maisie Symonds, who have both been involved in Sarina Wiegman's senior team; Gracie Prior, a starter in seven of the first nine games of the season for Women's Super League leaders Manchester City; or Martine Fenger on the opposite side, the teenage forward who made her Barcelona debut earlier that month. And yet it was 17-year-old Erica Parkinson, a player some five years younger than some of those involved, who stood out most.

On the evening of February 28 in Verona, Romelu Lukaku came off the bench at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi to score a 96th-minute winner for Napoli against Verona with a close-range left-footed finish.
