The story of this game was how good the defense looked against Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews , another great duo in the league. It was just the second goal of the season for Glendening, enabling the Red Wings to sweep the season series from Nashville.

Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe will make a late decision on whether to include Harry Arter in the squad for their Barclays Premier League clash against Arsenal.

Thai prosecutors and police insist their evidence against the men was rock solid, including DNA found on Witheridge’s body. The defence says that the DNA found on a garden hoe police say was the murder weapon does not belong to the defendants.

Koeman expressed his frustration with his side’s schedule, which sees his team having to back up Boxing Day’s effort in less than 48 hours to travel to Upton Park where West Ham await.
