Besiktas 0 - 3 VfL Wolfsburg, Champions League highlights

Filed under: Champions League, Highlights

Goals from Zvjezdan Misimovic, Christian Gentner and Edin Dzeko guided Wolfsburg to an emphatic victory in Turkey, although the German side have yet to secure their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League. The Bundesliga side threatened to run their hosts ragged in a blistering opening when they were rewarded with a goal by Misimovic but they had to wait until the final 10 minutes before they wrapped up victory with two further strikes.

However, they will have been grateful for Manchester United’s late equaliser against CSKA Moscow which means they hold a three-point lead in Group A over the Russians, who they visit in their next game before concluding their group campaign when they host the Premier League champions. (more…)

A solitary goal by Mauro Camoranesi was sufficient to guide Juventus to a narrow victory in Israel as they took another step towards the group stages of the Champions League. Camoranesi scored on the stroke of half-time but the Italians were not overly impressive against opponents who have yet to score in Group B, let alone take a point.

With Bordeaux winning at Bayern Munich, tonight’s result means Juve are four points ahead of the German team with two games to go with Bayern set to visit Italy in the final match.

The pressure mounted on Bayern Munich coach Louis Van Gaal after his side lost at home to goals from Yoann Gourcuff and Marouane Chamakh, making qualification to the Champions League’s last 16 very difficult. Gourcuff struck in the late stages of the first half and Chamakh netted near the end to put Laurent Blanc’s side on 10 points and into the next round, six ahead of third-placed Bayern at the top of Group A with two games to go.

With Bayern also struggling in the Bundesliga Van Gaal needed a good result at the Allianz Arena. (more…)

Birmingham 0 - 0 Manchester City, Premier League Highlights

Filed under: EPL, Highlights, Manchester City

Goalkeeper Shay Given produced a superb display to earn Manchester City a point their below-par performance barely deserved against Birmingham at St Andrew’s on Sunday. The former Newcastle player made a string of fine saves, the highlight a second-half penalty stop to deny James McFadden.

It was a fourth successive draw in the Premier League for Mark Hughes’ side, who nonetheless moved into the top four on goal difference. (more…)
