'You expect to see the game out'
Oxford United manager Gary Rowett spoke to BBC Radio Oxford after the 3-2 defeat at Hull City"We changed the shape several times just to try and give ourselves a little bit more of a foothold," he said. "Of course they start and score a goal early, which is very disappointing from our perspective, and then to come in at half-time - I thought we rode our luck really first half."We ended up scoring two very good goals, both from set-pieces, but ultimately we probably should have been a couple more goals down because it was far too easy for them to open us up and create chances."[We] Switched to a five [at the back in the] second half to give us a bit of grip in the game defensively."We didn't get up the pitch enough, but I don't think they had many big chances. I thought we looked quite solid. You expect to see the game out."

Improved performance but another defeat for Man Utd
The enthusiastic applause from the home fans that followed initial disappointment, at the end of six minutes of injury time that did not bring the equaliser they craved, told its own story about Manchester United's recorded 20 shots in a Premier League game against Arsenal for the first time since August that occasion, they scored eight times. This time, there was Amorim spent most of last season grumbling about not taking opportunities. Yet this didn't seem like one of those days. Two-thirds of his new £200m strikeforce started the game - and Matheus Cunha, who is clearly going to be a crowd favourite because of the fight he shows in every moment, and Bryan Mbeumo were passing range was superb. Patrick Dorgu was outstanding at left wing-back and Matthijs de Ligt a rock in central they conceded far too is easy to imagine United goalkeeping great Peter Schmeichel just barging William Saliba out of the way once Declan Rice's pinpoint corner was heading under the crossbar. Edwin van der Sar was far too cute to be caught out so Bayindir ended up in a position from which he could have no influence. And Amorim, and Andre Onana, who was at Old Trafford for the game, would only watch in the brutal world of professional sport, results mask everything.

Eberechi Eze shows why he is worth his £55million price tag as Tottenham push to seal transfer, writes KIERAN GILL - and why Arsenal may regret cooling interest in Crystal Palace star
Crystal Palace fans chanted 'it's not football anymore' after Eberechi Eze was denied what could have been his last-ever goal for the club when a niche law saw his ferocious free-kick disallowed. With Tottenham Hotspur pushing to sign the 27-year-old – so hard that he was in and out of Palace's travelling squad over the weekend – Eze looked like he had shown why he is worth his £55million valuation. It was a scorching strike and one which bamboozled Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, but it was then that Law 13 was taken into account by the referee, Darren England, after a VAR alert. Marc Guehi was judged to have been standing within a metre of Chelsea's defending wall. Technically, it was the correct call as per the rulebook. However, this was hardly a law that has been consistently enforced ever since its introduction in the Premier League in 2019. Already disillusioned after being demoted to the Conference League from the Europa League by UEFA, this did little to dissuade Palace supporters from thinking the game is against them. They were quick to find footage showing how Reece James' free-kick against Bournemouth at this very stadium last season should likewise have been disallowed because of Law 13. Marc Cucurella was practically touching the Cherries wall while stood next to Tosin Adarabioyo. As Palace defender Chris Richards said afterwards: 'Everyone in the stadium thought it was a goal but you live and die by VAR and we died from it.' Manager Oliver Glasner added on Eze: 'Eberechi should have scored a goal. He had one and it was disallowed. He will come to the Crystal Palace training ground on Monday, Tuesday off, we take Wednesday and I expect him to be back playing for us against Fredrikstad (in the Conference League play-off first leg on Thursday).' Because of the decision, Eze missed out on his potential fond farewell, though did show in his overall performance why Arsenal could regret cooling their interest in him if Spurs make him their next £55m signing. When substituted in the 84th minute, Eze took a moment to turn to the away end as he walked towards the touchline. The supporters showed their appreciation for a player who was signed for £19.5m from Queens Park Rangers in 2020.
