• Villarreal 0-1 Real Madrid (3.15pm)

Bundesliga

• Bayern Munich 1-1 Werder Bremen (FT)

Full time: Bayern Munich 1-1 Werder Bremen Peep! That’s a good result for Bremen, who withstood a second-half beating from Bayern on either side of Kingsley Coman’s draw. Bayern remain at the top, one point ahead of Leverkusen.

Middlesbrough 0-0 Norwich It’s been more than seven hours since Boro last conceded a league goal.

Celtic are now in serious trouble. Kevin Nisbet has made Hibs 2-0, and if it stays that way, Celtic will be nine points behind the Rangers with just one game in hand.

Solly March marks a beauty, with the right foot! Gross’s low crusader reached him in the space at the edge of the box, and he launched an emphatic curling shot into the upper corner.

Aston Villa 1-1 Brighton Lamptey makes another fearless run and forces the ball into Welbeck, who just got hit by Martinez. Lamptey is the most cheerful footballer.

“I have searched in vain (until the little rubber ball in my Amstrad Em @ iler melted) to cover the Maltese League clash between Gzira and Sliema, ”says James Debens. “For your information, a gloriously dramatic game ended 3-2 for Gzira, who is now on pole position. This neglect is symptomatic of The Guardian’s negligent attitude towards smaller European nations apart from Scotland. ”

Scotland apart?

Celtic have problems again. Jamie Murphy has put Hibs up front at Easter Road, after Scott Bain saved Kevin Nisbet’s penalty.

The villa is immediately leveled. Bertrand Traore’s curling from the left slides into the net at the far post by Ezri Konsa. For a middle half, it was a really confident ending.

There were only eight goals in the first half in ten championship games, and five of them were at Bet365 Stadium, where Stoke led Huddersfield 3-2.

A close header from Kingsley Coman has put Bayern up there.

“No goals so far in Tannadice, Rob, ”says Simon McMahon. “But it’s Ayr United 2 Dundee 0, so you know.”

Oh I know

It’s part time at Villa Park, where Danny Welbeck’s happy ending has given Brighton an early lead. Both teams missed good chances and Mat Ryan made a couple of good saves. It could easily be 2-2, maybe even 3-3.

“We may be 1-0 down But after the misery of the last ten years, it’s fun to be a fan of the village, ”says David Bertram. “Lamptey is the first player I have seen who has handled Grealish well. He negotiates for what they paid for him. “

Aston Villa 0-1 Brighton Tariq Lamptey is having another flashy game on the right back. He made a couple of good chances for Welbeck and Lallana and has been irrepressible as always.

“Besides the players being physically tiredI wonder if mental fatigue is such an important factor in the high number of injuries, some brain-free goals conceded, large number of penalties and the like so far this season, ”says David Wall. “Karen Carney recently recounted how she suffered a serious injury towards the end of a game during her career when she was so mentally tired that she didn’t pay attention to how she was putting her feet as she normally would if she was cooler.

“If the players are mentally tired, it is more difficult to concentrate, so they will tend to make poorer decisions, or they will take more time to make a decision, which could lead to errors in the way they move, for example, having to change direction later and more. abruptly. And if something in football requires concentration, it is to defend properly (including not doing challenges in the area when it is more sensible to wait).

By the way, I’ve always thought that mental exhaustion is the key reason why players struggle to play 2/3 games a week for an extended period of time. If there is no respite, then one coincidence would turn into the next and you are likely to get a little fed up. They are not the best conditions to maintain good form. “

I’m sure there’s something to that, certainly with the quality of the defense. I’m not sure how it would cause, say, a hamstring injury when taking a corner. But the body is something strange, so maybe everything is interconnected.

Aston Villa 0-1 Brighton And now Ben White makes a fantastic tackle to deny Watkins a bunt from a low center from Grealish.

Aston Villa 0-1 Brighton Mat Ryan improvises brilliantly to volley Tyrone Mings’ loop shot from the line. It was a strange but very good save.

Villarreal 0-1 Real Madrid “Good afternoon Rob,” says Stephen Carr. “The decision to allow Real’s goal has me completely baffled. The linoleum called out of play and the replays confirmed it. Real, with good reason, played until the whistle, scored and celebrated with authority, it is almost as if that was why the goal was scored. Crazy things “.

How weird. I haven’t seen it yet due to the exciting one minute action at Villa Park, but it sounds like another triumph for everyone involved.

Aston Villa 0-1 Brighton Lallana misses an excellent opportunity, cutting well into Lamptey’s center with his left foot. After a slow start, Brighton looks really dangerous at halftime.

“Light but strong, good control and an energetic give-and-go style, can you choose the bottom corner, England’s next great hope? “Says Iain Chambers.” Joe Cole eventually faded away and probably didn’t reach his potential like so many other ENGHs did. Let’s hope Grealish reaches great heights because he’s a pleasure to watch. “

Cole’s career is an interesting story. There is a perception that Mourinho blew it, but Cole played his best football with Mourinho and says he was the best coach he’s ever had. He was never the same again after that crossover injury in 2008-09.

Aston Villa 0-1 Brighton An imaginative Grealish curling iron is kicked by the flying Mat Ryan. This is a really fun game.

Championship Here’s more on Bournemouth’s comeback against Reading.

“The high press of ten men in soccer he’s like the third man absent in cricket, ”says Gary Naylor. “It gives you 10% more attack options with a 90% loss of defensive ability. Jamie Vardy will play until he’s 50. “

I also wonder if the teams are even more exposed this season because all the players are in their last games.

Aston Villa 0-1 Brighton A double chance for Trezegeut! The first one was superbly blocked, and then he somehow threw the loose ball past the post. That was a babysitter.

“My first memory of Grealish, you ask?” says Phil Podolsky. “He comes in as a late substitute against a title-chasing Man City, and he’s among the hapless Villa players chasing Yaya. He looked so small that I remember thinking how good he knew that it was better than trying to slide into a tackle, it would have just been stomped on. Trying to decide which game creators it stylistically reminds me of: Wilshere is a no-brainer, but we can probably aim higher. Deco? Round?

He is not in the same category but he remembers Zidane for his technique in tight areas and his ability to protect the ball.

Mariano, who according to some reports could be heading to West Ham, has given Real Madrid an early lead at Villarreal.

Aston Villa 0-1 Brighton A strong first touch costs Welbeck a chance for a second goal.
