England dropping Rooney is not my problem, says Mourinho

There are no winners in Evans rape case

Ince: Lose against United and you've let everyone down

Will Leicester ever dediscover their winning touch?

The key questions facing the big six this weekend

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho said on Friday that Wayne Rooney being dropped by England as well as Manchester United was not his problem but that the player was positive ahead of Monday’s match at Liverpool.

In a testy press conference during which he was reluctant to engage with most of the questions, Mourinho was asked if he felt it had been a difficult period for Rooney. “That’s not my problem. England’s not my problem,” he said. Asked about the 30-year-old’s current mental state, he added: “He is good he is prepared, he is training well and is positive.”

88 mins: GOAL! BOURNEMOUTH 6 HULL 1:

Six of the best for Bournemouth! Charlie Daniels got things going with the opening goal at Dean Court this afternoon, and it was his surging run and cross into the feet of substitute Dan Gosling that has sparked the seventh. Gosling still had much to do, but he executed his part perfectly, curling a shot past David Marshall and into the far corner.

Dele Alli rescues a point for Tottenham at the death! Mauricio Pochettino's men at thrown everything at the Baggies in search of an equaliser, and after Christian Eriksen's shot had been blocked by desperate defending, Alli arrived to poke over the line.

36 mins: Adjusting to water polo quicker, West Ham continue to trouble Crystal Palace on the break. Their corners are causing just as much chaos too, and the most recent from the right sees Simone Zaza's deflected header bounce down and just over the crossbar.

60 mins: Wonderful footwork from Manuel Lanzini as he escapes from three Crystal Palace defenders. He then passes on possession to Simone Zaza who promptly trips over his own feet.

62 mins: Angelo Ogbonna sees yellow for a foul on Wilfried Zaha after the Crystal Palace winger had done him for pace and was heading in the direction of goal. You may say cynical, Owen Hargreaves says brilliant.
