What the managers said: Leicester 1-1 Tottenham
Tottenham came from behind to end their five-match losing streak in the Women's Super League with a draw at Leicester City. Here is what the managers said after the game:Leicester boss Amandine Miquel speaking to Sky Sports:"I think a draw is OK. We would have preferred to win but we could also lose it so we accept a point and continue for the next games."I felt we looked tired, I don't know if it was the sun or the international break. Players were tired and it was hard to follow the rhythm, less energy than last week but got the point so that is good."Unbeaten is better than anything but obviously frustrated not to get the second goal but happy to get the point and keep moving forward."We have to keep positive, work on what we can improve and make sure that for the next games we look a bit fresher."Tottenham boss Robert Vilahamn speaking to Sky Sports:"We got a point which is better than the last games we've had. Good football, create so many chances, had most of the possession. In one way we're doing a good game but we're not really there yet to manage to actually win the game but I'm actually really proud of how we played today."If you look at the team they don't have the best self confidence in the world, where we are in the table you can see that it's actually a really good team playing good football so that's why I'm actually quite calm about where we are because we are taking steps in the way we want to play."We started the last game against West Ham about how we want to look and how we want to play for the club and develop for next season. It was a good performance but not good attacking football against West Ham, today was better so I hope we can go to Aston Villa in a few weeks and actually win that game by scoring a few goals and looking like we did today."

Ange Postecoglou 'is lined up by top Saudi Arabia side' - just a week after brutal Tottenham sacking
Ange Postecoglou could be set for a swift return to the dugout, according to reports The 59-year-old Australian was sacked by Tottenham Hotspur last week, 16 days after he led the club to their first silverware since 2008. Victory in Bilbao served as a glorious conclusion to what had been an otherwise disastrous campaign for the north London club. In a season in which his squad was ravaged by slew of injuries, further compounded by a congested fixture list, Spurs suffered 22 league defeats, a club record in a 38-game season. Postecoglou could now head to the Saudi Pro League, with Al-Ahli eyeing him for the managerial role, according to the Telegraph. He is being lined up as a potential successor to Matthias Jaissle, whose future at the club remains uncertain despite guiding them to the AFC Champions League title last month. Jaissle, 37, has attracted interest from Europe after leading a team packed with stars - including Ivan Toney, Roberto Firmino, Riyad Mahrez and Edouard Mendy - to continental glory against Kawasaki Frontale. Bundesliga side RB Leipzig and several Premier League clubs are understood to be tracking him. A move to Saudi Arabia would see Postecoglou return to Asia having previously won the J1 League with Yokohama F. Marinos. Following his Tottenham exit, Postecoglou himself released a parting statement, reflecting on his two years at the club with pride. The statement read: 'When I reflect on my time as Manager of Tottenham Hotspur my overriding emotion is one of pride. 'The opportunity to lead one of England's historic football clubs and bring back the glory it deserves will live with me for a lifetime. Sharing that experience with all those who truly love this club and seeing the impact it had on them is something I will never forget. 'That night in Bilbao was the culmination of two years of hard work, dedication and unwavering belief in a dream. There were many challenges to overcome and plenty of noise that comes with trying to accomplish what many said was not possible. 'We have also laid foundations that mean this club should not have to wait 17 more years for their next success. I have enormous faith in this group of players and know there is much more potential and growth in them. 'I sincerely want to thank those who are the lifeblood of the club, the supporters. I know there were some difficult times but I always felt that they wanted me to succeed and that gave me all the motivation I needed to push on. 'It's important to acknowledge the hard working people at Spurs who gave me encouragement on a daily basis. 'And finally, I want to thank those who were with me every day for the last two years. A fantastic group of young men who are now legends of this football club and the brilliant coaches who never once doubted we could do something special.

Man Utd most watched team in Premier League despite plummeting viewing figures – as rivals tune in to watch them lose
MANCHESTER UNITED have suffered a plummet in viewing figures - but are still the most watched. The Red Devils endured a horror season in which they finished 15th in the Premier League. 1 The calamitous season ended with an embarrassing 1-0 defeat to Tottenham in the Europa League final. The season was overwhelmingly their worst since the Premier League was formed in 1992. Sky Sports has issued that there was a 10 per cent fall in average viewership numbers last season. The drop, which was also seen by TNT Sports, followed on from two record-breaking seasons. Manchester United are viewed as the biggest club in England and a recent Statista survey put them ahead of rivals Arsenal and Liverpool. However, a broadcaster insider has claimed to know one reason behind the Red Devils above-average viewership. The Times has reported that more fans are tuning in to watch Man United in order to revel in their misery on the pitch. And they would have had plenty of enjoyment over the campaign. The Old Trafford outfit lost a staggering EIGHTEEN games in the Premier League alone. Ruben Amorim 's side could have more competition for the top spot next season though. The Portuguese manager will be hoping that rival fans will be tuning out of their matches because they DON'T want to see them win. There will surely be a wide interest in the English game with nine Premier League clubs in Europe. This means that there is likely to be more games scheduled for Sundays - all of which will be televised. The promotion of the well-supported Leeds United will also attract eyeballs as well as the long-awaited return of Sunderland.
