Abdoulaye Doucoure scored a controversial last-minute equaliser to secure a 2-2 draw for Watford as Southampton s Premier League winless run was extended to 10 matches.

A first-half double from James Ward-Prowse had put the Saints in the driving seat, but Andre Gray cut the deficit early in the second half and Doucoure got the leveller at the death, appearing to use his hand to do so.

It added to Mauricio Pellegrino s misery as his side s poor form continued, though Watford themselves have won just once over same period of Saints top-flight winless streak.

Having opened his account for the season in last weekend s FA Cup win over Fulham – setting up a fourth-round clash with the Hornets – Ward-Prowse picked up where he left off.

Manchester United cruised into the last 16 of the Europa League as a 1-0 victory at Saint-Etienne crowned a dominant 4-0 aggregate triumph, but match-winner Henrikh Mkhitaryan left boss Jose Mourinho with an injury worry.

The sight of the Armenia captain who continued his recent fine form with a smartly taken goal from Juan Mata s cross departing before the half hour with an apparent hamstring problem was far from welcome with Sunday s EFL Cup final against Southampton on the horizon.

Mourinho s scope for tactical substitutions with an eye on that Wembley date was further limited when centre-back Eric Bailly was booked for two fouls on Romain Hamouma in the space of three needlessly rash second-half minutes.

It means the Ivory Coast international will be suspend…

Renato Sanches is considering leaving Bayern Munich on a permanent basis after growing frustrated with a lack of playing time.

Signed ahead of an outstanding Euro 2016, midfielder Sanches has struggled to hit the heights expected of him since swapping Benfica for the Bundesliga.

The 21-year-old started only six times in all competitions this term and failed to figure in Niko Kovac s XI after November.

An unsuccessful spell with Swansea City in 2017-18 did little to advance a stagnating career and the Portugal international is not willing to entertain another a short-term stint away from Allianz Arena.

I don t want to go on loan again. If I leave, it will be leave completely, Sanches told Sport Bild.

I want to play more. I don t know if it makes …

Sergio Ramos, Real Madrid and Zinedine Zidane would all benefit from a quick decision on the club captain s future, according to his coach.

Madrid skipper Ramos is out of contract at the Santiago Bernabeu at the end of the season and has been linked to a host of rival clubs, including each of the Premier League s big six along with Paris Saint-Germain.

But the 34-year-old remains a key man in Madrid, starting all eight of the champions LaLiga games this season and scoring twice, while trailing only centre-back partner Raphael Varane for clearances (21), headed clearances (12) and blocks (two) in the top flight.

Zidane now wants to see a swift resolution to the contract situation.

The situation with the club and Sergio, I hope it s sorted out quickly for …

Casemiro has been told to quit Manchester United after producing a dire display in Monday s 4-0 loss at Crystal Palace, with Jamie Carragher saying the Brazilian can no longer cut it at the top level.

United produced arguably their worst performance of the season on Monday, with Michael Olise scoring twice as Palace hammered Erik ten Hag s injury-hit side at Selhurst Park.

With Harry Maguire, Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane and Victor Lindelof all sidelined, Casemiro played as a makeshift centre-back alongside Jonny Evans and endured a nightmare outing.

The Brazilian was beaten all too easily by Olise for Palace s opener, then was outmuscled by Daniel Munoz for Olise s second goal just after the hour mark.

Carragher believes the time has come for the f…

Romelu Lukaku remained on the bench for Belgium s game against Croatia and was joined there by Red Devils captain Eden Hazard.

Belgium have endured a tumultuous week ahead of a World Cup match they almost certainly must win in order to advance from Group F.

Reports of a rift within the camp were dismissed as fake news by Roberto Martinez at his pre-match news conference.

In the same media briefing, Martinez said Lukaku – who returned from injury as a substitute in the defeat to Morocco – was ready .

However, he added: Now we have to see how much he can play.

The answer, it appears, was not enough to start, with Lukaku again left out of the XI and finding company on the bench in the form of skipper Hazard.

Kovacic, 24, made 36 appearances for Madrid in 2017-18, starting just 10 of his 21 LaLiga games.
