Omar Marmoush haunted Newcastle United once again as Manchester City came from behind to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals. 08 Mar 2026
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola had described the prospect of going to a febrile St James' Park as a "nightmare", and it certainly felt like one for the visitors after Harvey Barnes fired Newcastle in front. But much-changed Manchester City showed their powers of recovery to respond through Savinho and a fine double from Marmoush, who has now scored seven goals against Newcastle in just six games. Having knocked holders Newcastle out of the Carabao Cup last month, Manchester City have ended Eddie Howe's side's dream of returning to Wembley through the FA Cup. But it was Newcastle who started this fifth-round tie with real intent and Nick Woltemade saw a header cleared off the line by Nico Gonzalez before the hosts found a way through. Barnes beat the offside trap to latch on to Sandro Tonali's through ball before taking a touch inside on to his favoured right foot and unleashing a clinical curling effort into the far corner to take the roof off the stadium. The goal merely awakened Manchester City, though, as the visitors pinned Newcastle back and Guardiola's team drew level following a sustained period of pressure. Jeremy Doku's drilled cross from the left went all the way through to the unmarked Savinho at the back post, and the ball ended up striking the knee of the Manchester City forward and bobbling over the line. Stunned Newcastle sorely needed to regroup at half-time, but Manchester City merely picked up from where they left off after the break and took the lead in familiar fashion. This time Matheus Nunes cut the ball across from the right and there was Marmoush at the far post to lash home after taking a cool touch. Marmoush grabbed another just a few minutes later after unleashing a rocket from just outside the box, which left Newcastle goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale with no chance. Manchester City, in the process, reached the FA Cup quarter-finals for an eighth successive season.
Barcelona restored their four-point lead at the top of La Liga after Lamine Yamal secured victory over Athletic Club. 08 Mar 2026
The Spain international curled a stunning effort past Unai Simon in the 68th minute from inside the area after latching on to a pass from Pedri at the Estadio de San Mames. It was the 18-year-old's 19th goal of the season and continued his hot streak in La Liga after netting a first career hat-trick against Villarreal last weekend. The victory extends Hansi Flick's side's lead at the top of the division after Real Madrid's late 2-1 win against Celta Vigo on Friday night. Barcelona are next in action on Tuesday, 10 March (20:00 GMT) when they host Newcastle United in the first leg of the Champions League last-16. Athletic Club, meanwhile, are back in La Liga action against Girona on 14 March (13:00 GMT).
Andre scored a 94th-minute winner as bottom club Wolves beat the defending Premier League champions Liverpool. 04 Mar 2026
Mohamed Salah looked to have rescued a point for Liverpool after Rodrigo Gomes gave Wolves the lead - but in added time, Andre's strike took a deflection off Joe Gomez to send Molineux wild. For the fifth time this season, Arne Slot's side conceded an injury-time winner. This was just a third league win of the campaign for Rob Edwards' side, who look destined to drop to the Championship yet have beaten Liverpool, Aston Villa and drawn against Arsenal in their past three home games. Edwards celebrated Andre's late winner with a sprint down the touchline - although the 43-year-old was feeling the effects of the physical exertion afterwards. "It's the groin this time," he told BBC Sport afterwards. "I felt it falling apart." For Liverpool, victory here could have taken them level with Manchester United and Aston Villa - third and fourth respectively - on 51 points, but they remain fifth. Wolves remain bottom and 11 points from safety. There was a poignant touch to the night - before kick-off, both sets of fans remembered Diogo Jota, the former Wolves and Liverpool forward who died in a car crash last July. There were banners in display in the home and away sections to pay tribute to the Portugal international. Slot made one change from Liverpool's 5-2 win over West Ham with Jeremie Frimpong coming in for Joe Gomez, while Edwards made four changes from the side that beat Aston Villa last Friday. The Liverpool head coach had admitted during the build-up that he no longer found most Premier League games a joy to watch because of the increasing dominance of set-pieces across the top flight. And the first half at Molineux was largely dull, with Liverpool dominating possession but barely testing goalkeeper Jose Sa and struggling to beat the first man from their corners. With Ryan Gravenberch on a booking after a poor first half, Slot replaced the Dutch midfielder with Curtis Jones at the break and the visitors raced out of the blocks in the second. But two of Wolves' substitutes combined to break the deadlock as Tolu Arokodare held off Virgil van Dijk and found Gomez, who expertly dinked the ball over Alisson. A minute later, 17-year-old Rio Ngumoha hit the post for Liverpool - who levelled shortly after when Jean Ricner-Bellegarde gave the ball away and Salah scored his first Premier League goal since November. With both sides hunting a winner, it was end-to-end in the latter stages and it was Wolves who took the three points. The second half was certainly more of a joy to watch - but not in the manner that Slot or Liverpool would have liked.
Barcelona threatened an epic comeback against Atletico Madrid but came up short as the holders exited the Copa del Rey at the semi-final stage after a dramatic 4-3 defeat on aggregate. 04 Mar 2026
Two goals from Marc Bernal, either side of a Raphinha penalty, gave the home side hope of a remarkable turnaround but they could not find a fourth to force extra time despite late pressure. Diego Simeone's side held on and they will face the winner of Real Sociedad and Athletic Club, who meet in the other last-four tie on Wednesday, in the final. Barcelona faced an uphill task after they were thrashed 4-0 in the first leg last month as they looked to reach the final of the competition they have won 32 times. Hansi Flick's side started with intent, pressing the visitors from the start and peppering Juan Musso's goal. Raphinha went close early on when he fired into the side netting as Barcelona benefited from a high press which would not allow Atleti the chance to settle. Ferran Torres then had two attempts on goal before Alejandro Balde, who came on an as an early substitute for the injured Jules Kounde, tested Musso. The opener came in the 29th minute when superb work from Lamine Yamal down the left opened up space, and the teenage star crossed for 18-year-old Bernal to tap home after finding himself unmarked in the area. The goal sparked hope inside the Spotify Camp Nou that a comeback could be on. Barcelona beat Atleti at this stage last season on their way to winning the competition but they needed something special here to turn this around and keep the defence of their crown going. Antoine Griezmann was Atleti's brightest spark and hit the post before the offside flag went up and then Ademola Lookman turned a decent chance wide. But in first-half stoppage time, Pedri was upended by Clement Lenglet in the area and Raphinha converted the resulting spot-kick as he sent Musso the wrong way. Former Manchester City attacker Julian Alvarez forced Barcelona goalkeeper Joan Garcia into an early stop after the break before Bernal brought Musso into action again. Marcus Rashford came off the bench as the hosts chased more goals but it was Bernal who scored next for the hosts when he turned in Joao Cancelo's cross with 18 minutes to go for his fourth goal in four games. Flick's side continued to pile on the pressure late on but the closest they came was Gerard Martin's curled effort which went just over.
Real Madrid missed the chance to move within one point of La Liga leaders Barcelona after Martin Satriano's spectacular strike gave Getafe a shock win at the Bernabeu. 03 Mar 2026
Satriano scored the winner before half-time when his breathtaking volley nestled into Thibaut Courtois' top corner, condemning the hosts to a second successive league defeat. It means Real remain four points behind Barca having both now played 26 games. Madrid were again without Kylian Mbappe as the 27-year-old has struggled with an injury to the external ligament of his left knee since the end of 2025. Getafe's stubborn defence frustrated Madrid throughout the game as the home side were unable to score past David Soria. Vinicius Jr missed a golden opportunity to break the deadlock before Satriano's strike, denied by keeper Soria when through on goal. Alvaro Arbeloa made three substitutions inside the first 10 minutes of the second half, with Trent Alexander-Arnold one of those to make way. His side upped the tempo after the break, with the visitors looking most vulnerable from crosses into the box. Antonio Rudiger sent a near-post header just wide, while substitute Rodrygo nodded an effort across goal and Dani Carvajal was unable to turn it in at the far post. Real Madrid's night turned from bad to worse when Franco Mastantuono received a red card for abusive language towards referee Alejandro Muniz Ruiz in stoppage time. Moments later, Getafe's Adrian Liso was also sent off after picking up a second yellow card for time wasting. Arbeloa has now lost four out of his 12 games in charge, although he has had to make do without both Mbappe and England midfielder Jude Bellingham through injury. Madrid next face Celta Vigo on Friday (20:00 GMT) as they look to avoid a third straight league defeat.
