Alli, who cancelled out a Fernando Llorente own goal with a header early in the second half, limped out of the game in the final few minutes, clutching his hamstring. He watched on from the bench as Harry Winks earned Spurs a vital three points with a header deep into time added on at Craven Cottage, but his problem cast a shadow over Tottenham's victory. Another injury to an attacking player is the last thing Pochettino needs, given the absence of the injured Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, who is on international duty, over the next few weeks. It looks highly unlikely that England international Alli, who has already been out twice this season with hamstring problems, will be fit to face Chelsea in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg at Stamford Bridge on Thursday. "You know very well the action," Pochettino said. "We need to assess him in the next few days. "The hamstring is a muscle we need to be careful with, but it doesn't look great. "On the pitch, we all agree that when you see … [Read more...] about ‘It doesn’t look great’

The striker's ankle injury and Son's absence due to international duty had meant a rare start for Fernando Llorente, who after scoring an own goal also missed two fine chances to make amends. Dele Alli's seventh of the season and then one from Winks, from essentially the match's last move, instead cruelly edged 19th-placed Fulham closer to relegation. It kept Spurs on course for a top-three finish, even thought they are under increasing pressure from Manchester United. Fulham's attacking options had been under similar scrutiny, owing to reports of a fight between Aleksandar Mitrovic and Aboubakar Kamara during a yoga session, as well as the recent signing of Ryan Babel. With Kamara not even a substitute, Babel was handed his debut at Ryan Sessegnon's expense, and in the 12th minute he wasted a fine chance to give his new team an unexpected lead. Racing onto Mitrovic's flick-on from midfield, he outmuscled Davinson Sanchez and ran through to go one-on-one with Hugo Lloris before … [Read more...] about Harry Winks secures crucial win for Tottenham with last-gasp header against Fulham

Danilo's deflected effort gave City a half-time lead before Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane both struck in the space of two minutes early in the second period. A fourth straight league win since their Boxing Day defeat at Leicester has lifted Pep Guardiola's side back to within four points of Liverpool in pursuit of back-to-back titles. Huddersfield remain 10 points adrift of safety at the foot of the table after a ninth defeat in their last 10 league matches. It was a sobering end to an emotional week for the West Yorkshire club following the departure of David Wagner, but caretaker-boss Mark Hudson can be proud his players gave him their all. Hudson was clearly intent on stamping his mark on Huddersfield by making six changes. But they had barely settled when Sergio Aguero, back in City's starting XI after a three-game absence, spurned an early chance as his side enjoyed plenty of early possession. Huddersfield also created an early opening, but Adama Diakhaby, making just his third … [Read more...] about Man City stroll past Huddersfield to cut gap behind Liverpool to four points
