Chelsea head coach Frank Lampard says there was no need to sit down with Marcos Alonso following criticism for his role in West Ham’s winner on Wednesday night.
Alonso was left trailing as Andriy Yarmolenko scored in the 89th minute to hand West Ham a vital 3-2 victory, which left Chelsea fourth and just two points ahead of Manchester United.
The first place to start when discussing just how and why Angel Gomes left Manchester United is to make it clear that people at the club, including Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, wanted him to remain at Old Trafford.
United wanted Gomes to continue his development and fulfil the potential that saw him win the Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year Award in 2017 and become the first player born in the 21st century to play for the club in the Premier League.
SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster and Dundee managing director John Nelms could be cross-examined by Hearts and Partick Thistle’s legal representative if their battle against relegation is heard in the Court of Session.

A spiky Jurgen Klopp defended the attitude of his Liverpool players after their 4-0 defeat to Manchester City.
The Premier League champions were brought back down to earth as City dominated at the Etihad Stadium.
But despite the 4-0 defeat, Klopp defended his players afterwards, quickly downplaying any notion that they may have not been fully focused after celebrating their title win over the weekend.
Pep Guardiola was asked beforehand whether this was an opportunity to send a message to the Liverpool team that had deposed his Manchester City as Premier League champions.
He was right to downplay that. The new season is some way away. City will hope to claim two more trophies before then. Nothing, meanwhile, is likely to take the lustre off Liverpool’s title win after the club’s 30-year wait. But 4-0? That was not expected.
