“It’s wonderful that you can perform the game plan like we have done, in a risky style, under this pressure”, Van Gaal explained to the BBC. After our goal, of course they were in a hurry, but then it benefits them – that I don’t understand.

The emergency manager of Ellis county south of Dallas, Stephanie Parker, posted on twitter: “We have destroyed and damaged homes”. Severe flooding also hit much of the city, with crews using boats to rescue people from submerged cars.
“I just think he’s been playing so long now that maybe it’s 30 on his birth certificate but in terms of games played he’s a 35-year-old player”, Carragher noted.
Brathwaite fireworks light up rainy Sydney Test
Brathwaite was uncharacteristically audacious, twice coming down to Lyon and lifting the bowler back overhead for boundaries. Both he and Brathwaite started and stopped before Samuels was left stranded by the throw to the keeper’s end.
Martial’s goal that opened the scoring and his role in Rooney’s goal, resulted in him being player of the match in the much needed win for the Manchester side.

On Wednesday, Turkish police arrested two suspected IS members over an alleged plot to attack celebrations in Ankara. Last year 100,000 people turned out in Brussels to welcome in the New Year.

Wayne Rooney’s form so far in the 2015-2016 season has been rather mediocre.
“They had a lot of space behind them and when the full-backs are running in that space they have to follow”. Swansea responded with a brilliant header from Gylfi Sigurdsson who looped it over the outstretched arms of David De Gea and probably had the Old Trafford faithful thinking that the winless streak would continue. He has now scored 51 goals in 109 caps. This is scarcely credible, given the attacking heritage of the great teams of Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson.
The Dutchman sprang a surprise at Old Trafford by starting with a back three of Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Daley Blind. Memphis Depay is expected to once again start on the bench, with Ander Herrera operating in the hold behind Wayne Rooney, leaving Anthony Martial and Juan Mata in the wide positions.
“All the players have done their utmost best and that is very important for the manager”, he said.
“It looked close. He reckons it was from the edge of the box when he headed it”, said Swansea caretaker manager Alan Curtis, who was disappointed to see his team leave with nothing. “You do what you can do”.
Arsenal hasn’t won the Premier League since 2004.
They may still sit just once place above the relegation zone, but Swansea showed here they have enough character and ability to beat the drop, despite coming away with nothing.
