Late Young penalty salvages point for Torquay United

BBC Newsa day ago
Torquay United manager Paul Wotton says his players saw a different side of him in their 1-1 draw at Maidstone United.The Gulls went behind when John Gilbert broke after Torquay had committed too many players forward in the seventh minute - defending Wotton described as 'suicidal'.Torquay improved as the second half wore on - Louis Dennis went close midway through the period while Jordan Dyer also had a good chanceBut Torquay salvaged a point in the fifth minute of stoppage time as Jordan Dyer converted a penalty after the forward had been fouled in the box. The point maintains Torquay's unbeaten start to the season ahead of a trip to AFC Totton on Tuesday night."It's the first time some of the new players have seen a side of me that I don't like showing and they could have easily gone into their shell," Wotton told BBC Radio Devon."We weren't perfect today but we've got a point away from home. "I always respect a point away from home in football, especially at a club that has got a tremendous success of being in and around the playoffs and has got a really good manager who organises his teams very very well."So we'll take the point and get home."

Kilmarnock 2-1 Dundee United: What Kettlewell said

Kilmarnock manager Stuart Kettlewell: "When I came in on day one, if you'd offered us this start [to the season], we would have bitten your hand off."Coming here today, I know the challenges Dundee United have faced but they're a good side."We had a bit of control in the game, created one or two chances but then I felt we sunk. We gave them some sort of incentive and we were disappointed to be pegged back. I thought the players responded well and overall I felt we deserved to win based on chances created but that doesn't mean it was an easy game."In phases of the game, in and out of possession, we're going to have to be better. But given time, and over the course of the season, we'll continue to get better. We need to improve all the time and make sure we're not standing still."[Against St Mirren] Two teams that will be relatively well matched. We have that wee added bonus of the home tie but we've got a lot of football to take care of between now and then."

Mikel Arteta mysteriously leaves £10million summer signing and host of outcasts out of Arsenal squad for Man Utd clash

MIKEL ARTETA left summer signing Christian Norgaard out of his squad against Manchester United. Arsenal travelled to Old Trafford with several first-team players absent. 2 2 Norgaard, who joined the Gunners for £10million this summer, was missing, despite being ever-present in pre-season. It is possible the Dane has a knock as he has not been seen in training this week. Arteta instead started another newboy, Martin Zubimendi, alongside Declan Rice in midfield. While Mikel Merino was named as the sole midfielder on the bench, although Myles Lewis-Skelly can play there too. Several exiled players were also excluded from the squad, with many made available for transfer. Reiss Nelson, Jakub Kiwior, Fabio Vieira are amongst those who are expected to leave in the next few days. They could be joined out of the exit door by Albert Sambi Lokonga and Oleksandr Zinchenko, who have also fallen out of Arteta's plans. Arsenal did not miss Norgaard as Rice curled in a corner to set up the opener. United goalkeeper Altay Bayindir got a hand to the ball but he could only help it goalwards, and Riccardo Calafiori was on hand to add a final touch on the line. Viktor Gyokeres also made his Arsenal debut following his £60million arrival.
