46 — Vanguard, SUNDAY, AUGUST 18, 2019 Aubameyang fires Gunners to another win Pierre-Emerick Aubam eyang grabbed the winner as Arsenal overcame a stubborn Burnley to maintain their winning start in the Premier League with a 2-1 victory at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. It was the first time in 10 years that Arsenal have won their first two league games of a season and manager Unai Emery was delighted with the team’s performance. “We can be happy. Our idea, our gameplan on the pitch was knowing it was going to be tough because we need to adapt,” the Spaniard told reporters. “A lot of moments we couldn’t impose our gameplan because they pushed and their gameplan was a struggle for us.” “We’ve started with two victories, last year we lost two,” Emery added. “Our challenge is each match. We’re happy with six points. Next week we are against Liverpool, a big challenge. “Being realistic, (it) is going to be tough.” PSG leave Neymar out again Neymar has been left out of the Paris St Germain team for the second week running, coach Thomas Tuchel said on Saturday, as speculation continues over whether or not the Brazilian will remain at the French champions. “He won’t be with us,” Tuchel told reporters ahead of Sunday’s league match away at Rennes, adding that the forward was still not fully fit having missed last week’s season opening win over Nimes. Tuchel said Neymar’s future at PSG remained undecided, but that he remained one of the club’s most important players. “If I think of a strong PSG team, I think of a team with ‘Ney’ in it,” the German coach said. Neymar joined Qatariowned PSG from Barcelona in 2017 in a deal valued at a record 222 million euros ($246 million). However, injuries have kept him out of key Champions League matches and media reports have linked him with a transfer to Barcelona or Real Madrid. *Neymar Arsenal's striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (L) vies with Burnley's defender James Tarkowski during the English Premier League football match between Arsenal and Burnley at the Emirates Stadium in London on August 17, 2019.

His contract was due to expire in January but it was cut short, with an extension to the deal unlikely. Angola will now prepare for the upcoming World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaigns under a new regime. Paco Alcacer, Jadon Sancho and Marco Reus turned on the style as Borussia Dortmund recovered from conceding an early goal to land an emphatic opening-day 5-1 win over Augsburg. Dortmund fielded the same team that had successfully seen off Uerdingen in the first round of the DFB Cup a week ago, with Marwin Hitz still in goal for the injured Roman Bürki, and the Swiss goalkeeper got his first touch of the ball just 31 seconds in – to pick it out of the back of his own goal. It was Augsburg’s summer recruit Florian Niederlechner who met Mads Pedersen’s low cross at the near post to give the guests from Bavaria a flying start, and Dortmund a second cold shower after conceding at the same time on the opening day of last season. Back then, they recovered to beat RB Leipzig 4-1, and you would not have bet against a repeat after Jadon Sancho sent Marco Angola play the Gambia over two legs next month at the start of the 2022 World Cup preliminaries and in November begin their bid for a place at the next Cup of Nations with group games against either Djibouti or Gambia and then Gabon in November. The unheralded 46- year-old from Serbia was a surprise appointment by Angola who named him coach at the end of 2017. Vasiljevic had little playing or coaching Reus to the goalline and the Germany international pulled the ball back for Paco Alcacer to tuck in from close range, still in just the third minute. Julian Weigl and Mats Hummels both tested Tomas pedigree save for a spell as an assistant with the Serbian national side under Vladimir Petrovic in 2011-12. But the former defender, whose club career took in spells in Romania and Kazakhstan, qualified Angola for their first Cup of Nations finals since 2013. At the tournament in Egypt in June, they were eliminated at the first stage, drawing with Tunisia and Mauritania and then losing 1-0 to Mali. He is the 12th coach from the recent Cup of Nations to move on. Dortmund off to flying start in Bundesliga Wilfred Ndidi be lieves that Chelsea will be in no mood to concede defeat when they clash with Leicester City in today’s English Premier League match. Chelsea lost their opening league game under coach Frank Lampard, a 4-0 drubbing at Manchester United’s stomping ground Old Trafford, and according to Ndidi his team mates must have to brace up for good fight. “Despite the fact that they’ve lost two games, it will be a difficult game and we will have to be alert. We got a point against Wolves, but we can be better going into the Chelsea game. We’ll go there to try and Koubek in the Augsburg goal, before Alcacer missed the target, and Reus twice found Koubek a bridge too far as Dortmund raised the pressure, but failed to find a way through before halftime. Ndidi expects Chelsea to fight like wounded lions get something out of it. “Every game we learn, and we take to the next game. For Wolves, they’re a very good team. We actually kept the ball in possession and that’s difficult *Ndidi VAR denies Jesus goal as Tottenham hold City Manchester City were denied a last-gasp goal by VAR as Lucas Moura came off the bench to salvage Spurs an unlikely point at the Etihad. The hosts dominated large parts of the encounter and took the lead when Raheem Sterling nodded home a delightful Kevin de Bruyne delivery midway through the first-half. Erik Lamela then equalised for the visitors with a goal out of nowhere, finishing past Ederson who was seemingly caught of position in goal. Sergio Aguero restored the lead for the Citizens following another sublime De Bruyne pass before sub Lucas Moura rose highest to level the match once more. But VAR sensationally overuled Gabriel Jesus’ winner in the dying embers of the game after Aymeric Laporte appeared to handle the ball in the area. Modric sees red in Real Madrid's win at Celta Vigo Real Madrid got off to a flying start in La Liga by beating Celta Vigo 3-1 away from home on Saturday with the help of a magnificent long range strike from Toni Kroos, although they had Ballon d’Or winner Luka Modric sent off for a straight red card. Karim Benzema put Madrid ahead in the 12th minute after a superb piece of wing play from Gareth Bale, who had earned a surprise starting berth due to injury to Eden Hazard after a close season period of uncertainty over his future. Celta had an equaliser ruled out on the stroke of halftime for offside after a video review but they benefited from the use of the technology in the 56th minute when Modric was punished for raking his studs against the heel of Denis Suarez. The hosts could not make the most of the extra man as German midfielder Kroos doubled Madrid’s lead five minutes later with an unstoppable distance strike, while substitute Lucas Vazquez added a third in the 80th after a pass from Benzema. Celta finally managed to get a goal back in stoppage time when 18-year-old Iker Losada scored two minutes after coming off the bench to make his first team debut. Iwobi warms bench as Everton pip Watford Marco Silva’s Everton survived a scare against old club Watford to sneak a 1-0 victory courtesy of some Bernard Brazil-iance. But Nigerian forward, Alex Iwobi was an unused substitute in the match and it comes as a blow to the former Arsenal man, who said he left the Emirates Stadium in order to become a man of his own. The Hornets are now winless in their last 14 visits to the blue half of Merseyside as they failed to sting the hosts despite dominating for long periods. But the Toffees and their boss will not care one bit as they recorded a fifth-successive Prem home win. Goodison was rocking with just ten minutes on the clock courtesy of some Samba magic from Bernard. The 26-year-old was sent clear down the left by Lucas Digne’s wonderful diagonal ball out of defence. The South American collected possession and cut in towards the edge of the area before shifting onto his right foot to rifle home low inside Ben Foster’s near post. It was just reward for the Blues, who had looked pumped up from the off. Zidane wants Bale, James to remain at Madrid Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane all but con firmed that Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez will not leave the club this summer. With €100 million attacker Eden Hazard injured, none of Madrid's summer signings started the game, but Bale was recalled in attack and his vigorous showing included a superb assist for Benzema's opener. The Los Blancos coach told the post-game news conference at Balaidos that he had spoken to Bale this week, and a player who almost left for China on a free transfer was now just thinking about the new campaign with Madrid. "We spoke before the game, two or three times, to say he was staying," Zidane said. "Gareth's game, like all of them, was very good. He is just thinking of the new season, and playing." Zidane was asked what had changed in Bale's work since July, when the coach had suggested it would be best if the Welshman left the club as soon as possible. "Nothing has changed, we are all now just thinking about the season," he said. "Gareth, James, all the players, just want to do the best possible to defend this shirt."
