Dein erstes Forum » Jordan Scarlett attempted to leap over the line

Sky Sports are serving up two huge matches this Sunday, with the Capital One Cup final closing out the day after an old rivalry reignites in the Premier League. Louis van Gaals Manchester United host title-chasing Arsenal in what could well prove to be a massive game for both sides respective aspirations in Englands top flight this season. While the Gunners hold a strong lead over their hosts in the table, United wont have given up hope of a place in the top four just yet, aiming to put pressure on local rivals Manchester City, whose date at Wembley ensures they have no league fixture this weekend. Arsenal players dominate the combined XI, according to WhoScored.com data Petr Cech (Arsenal) - 7.08 ratingSecond only to Watfords Heurelho Gomes in the highest rated keeper stakes, Cech comfortably makes this XI at the expense of David de Gea. Theres no doubt that the two shot stoppers are among the finest in England but its the Arsenal number one who has secured the higher rating (7.08 to 6.70), with a tally of 85 saves not only 27 more than the Spaniard but enough to rank second once more in the Premier League. Petr Cech remains one of the most impressive goalkeepers in the Premier League Hector Bellerin (Arsenal) - 7.13 ratingBellerin takes his place at right-back with a solid rating from WhoScored.com. The youngster has developed incredibly well in a short space of time to become the undisputed first choice in his position at the Emirates. The 20-year old has missed just two league matches all season, completing the third most dribbles of any Premier League defender (36). Hector Bellerin has emerged as a creative force for Arsenal at right-back Chris Smalling (Manchester United) - 7.18 ratingWhile United have flattered to deceive for much of the campaign, Smalling has been one of the real success stories for the club and a favourite of Louis van Gaal despite a couple of cases of mistaken identity from the Dutchman! Smalling has played his part in more clean sheets this season than any other centre-back in the league (12). Chris Smalling has grown into an important defender for Manchester United Laurent Koscielny (Arsenal) - 7.41 ratingTaking his place alongside Smalling, France international Koscielny has again been the stand-out performer of Arsenals centre-backs this season. The 30-year old ranks third of all Premier League players in terms of interceptions per game (3.7) and has weighed in with three goals at the opposite end to aid in the Londoners title bid. Laurent Koscielny boasts impressive interception stats for Arsenal Nacho Monreal (Arsenal) - 7.26 ratingProving to be one of the most reliable full-backs in the Premier League over the last 18 months, Monreal has turned his career around at Arsenal having struggled to make an immediate impact. His place in this XI may well have come under threat were it not for an early season-ending injury to Luke Shaw, but the Spaniard has impressed nonetheless, featuring from the off in all but one of the Gunners league games to leave Kieran Gibbs watching on from the sidelines. Nacho Monreal has established himself in the left-back slot for Arsenal Aaron Ramsey (Arsenal) - 7.31 ratingImpressing in a number of midfield positions for Arsene Wenger this season, Ramsey takes his place in the centre in the absence of Santi Cazorla. The Welshmans energy in the middle ground is key to Arsenals transitions and while he would hope to have had a direct hand in more goals - scoring four and assisting three in the league - no United central midfielder has come close to that input. Ramsey has been used in a number of different positions by Arsenal Francis Coquelin (Arsenal) - 7.14 ratingSet to feature alongside Ramsey at Old Trafford this weekend, the return from injury of Coquelin has been a real boost to Wenger. The Frenchman is another whose Arsenal career seemed to be hanging in the balance only to have become an integral part of the side. The 24-year old has unsurprisingly averaged the most tackles per game for his club this season (2.7) whilst maintaining a superb 90.5 per cent pass accuracy to keep things ticking over. Francis Coquelin brings bite to the Arsenal midfield in defensive areas Jesse Lingard (Manchester United) - 6.86 ratingUndoubtedly the shock inclusion in this XI, while Lingards rating is the lowest on show he has made significant strides this season. Indeed, the youngster has secured a higher rating than the likes of Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, with the latter sidelined regardless. United have played with more intensity and pace with the 23-year old involved, and while hes been guilty of some big misses, Lingard has had a direct hand in six goals in his last nine appearances in all competitions. Jesse Lingard has made the breakthrough at Manchester United Mesut Ozil (Arsenal) - 7.79 ratingIf Lingards appearance here is a shock, Ozils certainly isnt with the German securing the highest statistical rating from WhoScored.com of any player from the two sides, ranking second to Riyad Mahrez in the Premier League. The playmaker registered his first assist of the year against Leicester last time out in the league, taking his tally to a whopping 17. Thats seven more than any other player in Englands top flight, creating the most chances (106) by 28. Mesut Ozil continues to provide the assists for Arsene Wengers side Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal) - 7.55 ratingSanchez takes his place on the left with an excellent score but there is no question that he has struggled to recapture his form following a return from injury. Wenger will need the Chilean to do just that in the title race, starting this Sunday, with a modest return of six league goals coming despite averaging the third most shots per game in the league (3.9), whilst also ranking fourth for dribbles (3.2). Alexis Sanchez is feeling his way back to form after a fine start to the season Anthony Martial (Manchester United) - 7.25 ratingCompleting the line-up, and only the third United player to make the XI, Martial takes the striker spot ahead of fellow countryman Giroud (7.08 rating). The 20-year old had a lot to live up to following his mega money transfer from Monaco and while most would argue that he still has some way to go to warrant such a price tag, there is no doubt the youngster has been Uniteds brightest attacking spark. With seven goals and three assists he has made a solid start to life in England, with the outlet he provides best highlighted by having completed at least 35 more dribbles (56) than any team-mate. Martial has brought dribbles and goals to Manchester United All statistics courtesy of WhoScored.com, where you can find live in-game data as well as player and team ratings.

ATLANTA -- This was merely an annoyance for Alabama, a chance to add another trophy to its overflowing cases. The Crimson Tide did just enough things wrong to give Nick Saban something to complain about over the next month, but in the end it was another dominating victory for the nations top-ranked team.Florida coach Jim McElwain was certainly impressed after his No. 15 Gators lost 54-16 in the Southeastern Conference championship game Saturday. He called it Sabans best team yet in a dynasty that shows no signs of stumbling.I dont see a lot of weaknesses, marveled McElwain, Sabans offensive coordinator from 2008-11. Theyve really accumulated a lot of speed at some spots where they were always big.Alabama (13-0) unleashed all its weapons against the overmatched Gators, scoring off an interception and a blocked punt in the first half, snuffing out their last gasp with a goal-line stand, and wearing down Florida at the end with a dominant running game.The Tide now heads to the College Football Playoff for the third year in a row, most likely returning to Atlanta for a semifinal game on Dec. 31. Alabama will be seeking its second straight national title and its fifth crown in the last nine years. Saban already has five national titles, counting his first at LSU, and is one shy of Bear Bryants record for the most by any coach.Challenging his players, Saban said they have a chance to do something to create a legacy for this team. Thats something they should think about, how important that is, what they are willing to do to do it. Because all the teams you play from here on out are really, really good.The Crimson Tide bolted to a 16-9 lead in the first quarter, despite being held to minus-7 yards and no first downs. Minkah Fitzpatrick returned an interception 44 yards for a touchdown, and Josh Jacobs went 27 yards for a score with a blocked punt. A field goal was set up by another pick -- one of three thrown by Florida quarterback Austin Appleby in the first half.The Tide led 33-16 at halftime and iced the victory with scoring drives of 98 and 91 yards, sparked by a goal-line stand that finished off the last gasp by the Gators (8-4). It was most points surrendered by Florida since a 62-24 loss to Nebraska in the 1996 Fiesta Bowl.ddddddddddddhe Gators marched the length of the field on their opening possession, the first touchdown given up by the Tide in more than 17 quarters. They had another long TD drive near the end of the first half to give themselves a glimmer of hope.It wasnt perfect, said Alabama linebacker Reuben Foster, who was named the games MVP. We had to persevere, overcome some hard times.The last of those hard times came when Florida drove to the Crimson Tide 1 in the third quarter. Jordan Scarlett attempted to leap over the line on third-and-goal, but he never got off the ground. Rashaan Evans, who took over after Shaun Dion Hamilton went out with a likely season-ending knee injury, blew by his blocker and slammed the running back for a 1-yard loss.Appleby then threw incomplete in the back of the end zone on fourth down, giving the Tide all the momentum.Alabama finished with 174 yards rushing in the second half. The bulk of the carries went to bruising sophomore Bo Scarbrough, who had two short touchdown runs and finished with 91 yards on 11 carries.We just wanted to do what we do best, and thats run the ball, Scarbrough said.BLOCK PARTYDuring a wild sequence in the first quarter, each team scored off blocked kicks on back-to-back plays.Jacobs TD came after Derrick Gore blocked a punt, giving Alabama a 16-7 lead. But when Adam Griffiths extra-point attempt was swatted down by Jabari Zuniga, David Reese scooped up the ball and went the length of the field to give the Gators a 2-point conversion.POLL IMPLICATIONSAlabama will remain No. 1 in The Associated Press poll, as well as the College Football Playoff rankings. Florida can expect to drop at least four or five spots.UP NEXTAlabama: Projected to meet the No. 4-ranked CFP team in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl.Florida: Two straight losses probably cost the Gators a shot at the Sugar Bowl. More likely, they will settle for either the Dec. 31 Citrus Bowl or the Jan. 2 Outback Bowl. ' ' '
