Fernando Torres Finally finally scored his 100th goal for Atletico Madrid

Fernando Torres finally scored his 100th goal for Atletico Madrid, helping his team come from behind to defeat Eibar 3-1 in La Liga on Saturday.

Torres found the net from close range after a low cross by Luciano Vietto in second-half injury time, scoring his first goal since September. Fans at the Vicente Calderon Stadium gave the striker a standing ovation and loudly chanted his name after the final whistle.

'Finally,' Torres said. 'After many games and many years, this is something that will stay with me forever. I know I'll be among the club's greatest goalscorers. It's a prize for me.'

Defender Jose Gimenez and midfielder Saul Niguez also scored second-half goals for Atletico after Niguez's blunder just after halftime led to Sergio Keko's goal for Eibar.

The victory halted Atletico's four-game winless streak and moved the club closer to leaders Barcelona atop the standings.

Atletico are tied with Barcelona, with 51 points each, but the Catalan club have two games in hand.

Eden Hazard has revealed he sent a text message to Mourinho, Read what he said

Eden Hazard has revealed he was left feeling so guilty over Jose Mourinho's sacking that he sent a text message to the former Chelsea manager to apologise.

Mourinho was axed by the Premier League champions in December after a disastrous first half of the season leaving the Blues just one point above the relegation zone after 16 games.

Hazard, who was Chelsea's standout performer in their title winning campaign last season, was one of a number of players performing well below their usual high standards.

And the Belgium international has admitted that a portion of blame for Chelsea's most successful manager ever losing his job lays at his door.

Reveled: the real reason Liverpool throw away two-goal leads in less than 10minus to go

Liverpool 2-2 Sunderland: Adam Johnson and Jermain Defoe salvage a point for the Black Cats after thousands of fans walk out of Anfield in the 77th minute to protest rise in ticket prices

The anger began to rise and then the ground began to empty. As planned, in the symbolic 77th minute, Liverpool fans showed their disgust at the pricing plan for next season's tickets and departed en masse and made their point with force.

Aiming chants of 'You greedy b******s, enough is enough!' at the Directors Box and waving black flags, the anger was justified and the solidarity was worthy. Having felt like they have been taken for granted for too long, charging £77 for some seats next year was the last straw.

Read the latest ruling on Neymar's tax fraud charges

A Brazilian judge has thrown out tax fraud charges against Brazil and Barcelona star striker Neymar, his father and two senior FC Barcelona figures.

The magistrate, Mateus Castelo Branco Firmino da Silva, said the charges brought on Tuesday "should be rejected."

The ruling late on Thursday in Santos gave some respite to the Brazilian superstar.

Prosecutors accused him of tax evasion and falsifying documents between 2006, when he was just a promising youngster at Brazilian football club Santos, and 2013, when he signed for Barcelona.

FC Barcelona faces a separate case in Spain, where Brazilian investment fund DIS has made allegations of fraud and corruption relating to Neymar's signing in 2013. The striker testified this week in Madrid in that case.

LVG circled by Chelsea managers

Manchester United's tentative resurgence will be tested this Sunday when Louis van Gaal pits his side against a Chelsea team slowly finding their feet under his countryman Guus Hiddink.

It is only two weeks since United were booed off at Old Trafford after a 1-0 home defeat by Southampton, but consecutive wins – 3-1 at Derby County in the FA Cup and 3-0 at home to Stoke City in the league – have convinced Van Gaal that his side can still win the title.

United go into the weekend 10 points below leaders Leicester City in fifth place and five points below the Champions League berths.

"We don't have to exaggerate, but I have the feeling if we shall beat Chelsea – although that is very difficult, because under Guus Hiddink they don't lose – then I think our league is starting again," Van Gaal said.

Latest update, 'Man United hold talks with Mourinho'

Jose Mourinho's representatives have held talks with Manchester United about replacing Louis van Gaal as manager of the Premier League club, according to reports on Friday.

Mourinho has been strongly linked with the Old Trafford post since being sacked by Chelsea in December and the BBC and Manchester Evening News claim discussions have started with a view to the Portuguese coach taking over at the end of this season.

Van Gaal has endured stinging criticism from former United players and the club's fans for his conservative tactics, with reports suggesting he was twice talked out of quitting by executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward earlier this term.

Rosicky injury may end Arsenal career

Tomas Rosicky's latest injury setback, a torn thigh tendon, leaves him in a race against time if he is to play for Arsenal again with his Gunners contract due to expire in June.

The 35-year-old missed the first half of the current campaign with a knee injury and coach Arsene Wenger confirmed Friday the Czech midfielder would now be out a further three months.

Asked if Rosicky had played his last game for Arsenal, Wenger said: "I hope not, but the injury is quite a serious one. He will not need surgery."

Rosicky signed for Arsenal from Borussia Dortmund after a fine showing at the 2006 World Cup and has been a regular feature on Arsenal's left-midfield ever since.

Sevilla on the verge of Cup final

French striker Kevin Gameiro struck twice and missed a penalty to put Sevilla on the brink of reaching a Copa del Rey final against Barcelona with a 4-0 semifinal, first-leg win over Celta Vigo on Thursday.

Barca's place in a fifth final in six years is assured after they thrashed Valencia 7-0 in the first-leg of their semifinal on Wednesday.

Sevilla have now won 12 consecutive games at home in all competitions and were worthy winners, even if the scoreline flattered Unai Emery's men.

Gameiro had a great chance to open the scoring after half an hour but saw his spot-kick brilliantly saved by Ruben Blanco.

Celta then came desperately close to a precious away goal as Sergi Gomez headed against the bar before Pablo Hernandez flashed a shot inches wide on the counter-attack.

Read what Leicester City manager said to his players about Manchester City's "magicians"

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has warned his players that Manchester City's "magicians" can pick up three points even if the Foxes play a perfect game, when both sides meet in the Premier League at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

Leicester continue to defy the odds this season, maintaining a three-point lead at the top of the table with a morale-boosting 2-0 win over Liverpool on Tuesday.

However, hot on their heels are Manuel Pellegrini's men, who will look to win back-to-back league games for the first time since October and have striker Sergio Aguero in top form, with five goals in his last three league games.

The Argentine hitman played a pivotal role as the Blues went on an unbeaten run and climbed to second in the table.

Aguero scored five goals and provided one assist to help the Blues secure eight points from four league games.
