Bournemouth 1-2 Ipswich: Cherries winless league run continues
Bournemouth suffered a fifth successive Premier League loss as struggling Ipswich Town held on to leave Vitality Stadium with three points and a 2-1 victory."It's a bad result for us, but we need to stay together and focus on the things we can improve," said boss Andoni Iraola. "We are in a bad period. They scored two goals with two shots on target, that was the worst part as we controlled the game."Bournemouth have never played in European competition and a 3-1 win at Southampton in February had left Iraola's team fifth in the Premier League.However, they have not won a top-tier match since and, although they remain 10th, this was a big opportunity missed to get back on form.They probably deserved at least a point, but, despite sustained pressure late on, Bournemouth could not find an equaliser as Ipswich secured only their fourth league win of the campaign.It has been a fine season for the Cherries, but Iraola and the club's fans will be worried the campaign could end in disappointing fashion with this latest defeat hurting the chances of European football coming to Vitality Stadium.

Watch Esperance Tunis vs Chelsea in Club World Cup for free in the UK
Enzo Maresca's Chelsea are set to take on Maher Kanzari's Esperance Sportive de Tunis in the FIFA Club World Cup - here's the kick-off time, streaming details and team news Chelsea continue their Club World Cup campaign when they face Esperance Tunis. The Blues got off to a winning start at the 32-team tournament in the United States with a 2-0 win over Los Angeles FC as Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez found the scoresheet. However, a shock 3-1 loss to Flamengo followed in the Premier League side's second outing, with Neto's early opener being followed by second-half goals from Bruno Henrique, Danilo and Wallace Yan. Adding insult to injury, Nicolas Jackson also found himself handed a red card in the 68th minute - just four minutes after he was substituted on - for a high challenge on Ayrton Lucas. In a statement apologising for his actions after the match, Jackson wrote: "I want to say sorry. To the club, the staff, my teammates, and all the fans watching, I let you down. Another red honestly, I'm so angry at myself. "I work very hard every day to help the team not to put is in this kind of situation. I still don't fully understand how it happened. But one thing is clear: it wasn't intentional. Just a football moment that went the wrong way. No excuses." On the flip side, ES Tunis also head into Tuesday's fixture with one win and one loss to their name for the tournament thus far. The Tunisian side suffered a 2-0 loss to Flamengo in their tournament opener before securing a 1-0 win over LA FC on Friday. As a result, they currently sit third in the standings in their group. With a space in the round of 16 up for grabs, Mirror Football breaks down all the details UK-based fans need to watch the match. What time does ES Tunis vs Chelsea kick off? The Group D clash between ES Tunis and Chelsea takes place at the Lincoln Financial Field - a 67,000-capacity stadium which is home to the Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL. Kick-off is at 9pm local time on Tuesday, June 24, which is 2am UK time on Wednesday, June 25. What channel is Chelsea vs ES Tunis on? Channel 5 has picked up the TV rights to a select number of games taking place at the Club World Cup, with Chelsea's final group game one of them. Coverage starts at 1am on Wednesday morning and will run through until 4:25am. How can I stream ES Tunis vs Chelsea? Elsewhere, DAZN are the tournament's main rights holders, and the streaming service will show each and every game live for free across the UK. To make the most of the content, viewers must sign up to DAZN's Freemium service before they can tune in via the DAZN App on their smart TV, phone, tablet or laptop. Ad-free coverage is also available for £14.99. What's the Chelsea team news? Enzo Maresca has a fully fit 24-man squad to pick and choose from for the duration of the tournament, but a few big-name players have been left out completely. For example, Raheem Sterling and Joao Felix were left at home as the rest of the team travelled to North America after their respective loan spells at Arsenal and AC Milan. Wesley Fofana was also left in the UK following hamstring surgery in April, while Mykhaylo Mudryk remains suspended as a result of an adverse finding in a urine sample. Meanwhile, as a result of his red card, Jackson will not be available for selection against ES Tunis as he has been hit with a minimum of a one-game ban. As per FIFA's guidance: "Any player or official given a red card will miss their team's subsequent match. "In addition, further sanctions – e.g. an additional suspension or a fine – may be imposed. Red cards will not be wiped at any point during the tournament. If a player is sent off during the semi-finals, he will be suspended for the final." However, as already proven at this summer's tournament, FIFA's Disciplinary Committee has the power to lengthen a suspension should they deem an offence incredibly serious. For context, Boca Juniors stars Ander Herrera and Nicolas Figal were given four-match bans after they were sent off in their side's opener with Benfica. Should Jackson only serve a one-match ban, he will be able to return to play if Chelsea make their way through to the round of 16.

Gareth Bale ‘would be heavily involved' if Cardiff takeover goes ahead
Bale spoke publicly about his interest in purchasing the League One club on Monday, saying it would be a 'dream come true' if a deal could be done. A source close to the former Wales captain told the PA news agency on Tuesday Bale would not be content to be a bit-part player in any takeover. Asked what sort of role Bale might take on, the source said: 'A very significant one. He is not going to be a bit-part player. This is a guy who has been super-successful and doesn't need to put his name to something just for the sake of it. He would be heavily involved. He believes he is the right person for this. 'Cardiff is the only club he wants to do a deal for. Now's the time, with the club in the doldrums, to put some TLC into the club and get them back to the Premier League.' The Bale consortium is believed to feature both British and American investors. Speaking on the red carpet at the premiere for F1: The Movie on Monday evening, Bale told Sky Sports: 'We are interested in getting Cardiff. It's my home (town) club, it's where I grew up and my uncle used to play for them. To be involved with an ownership group would be a dream come true.' Bale's camp accepts the decision to sell ultimately rests with Cardiff owner Vincent Tan. 'If (Tan) is willing to sell it, there is no better person as far as custodianship, and with the correct intentions to the place, than Gareth,' the source close to Bale said. Cardiff declined to comment on the Bale consortium's interest when contacted by PA on Tuesday.
