Alexis the great<\/h2>\n

Wataru Endo was quick to praise \u201cincredible\u201d Alexis Mac Allister after Liverpool\u2019s 1-1 draw with Premier League champions Manchester City.<\/p>\n

Following a first-half opener from City defender John Stones at Anfield yesterday, Mac Allister remained ice cool to fire home an equaliser from the penalty spot in the 50th minute.<\/p>\n

The draw did neither side any favours as fellow title contenders Arsenal finished the weekend at the top of the table following their last-gasp 2-1 win over Brentford.<\/p>\n

But Endo preferred to focus on the importance of Mac Allister, 25, to Jurgen Klopp\u2019s side. He told\u00a0: \u201cHe\u2019s incredible.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cWe always try to help each other, especially when we have the ball. I have a very good feeling with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow [the] injured players are coming back, little by little, I think we are on a good path.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the season, this one point might be important. We need to keep playing like [this] and just try to win every game.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the goal trail<\/h2>\n

Conor Gallagher is delighted to have started adding goals to his fine performances for Chelsea.<\/p>\n

The England midfielder, 24, has been a shining light for Mauricio Pochettino\u2019s men during a disappointing campaign so far.<\/p>\n

He has stood in as captain in the absence of Reece James and Ben Chilwell, filling in whenever the full-backs have found themselves sidelined by injury.<\/p>\n

And while Gallagher\u2019s future remains up in the air, he has netted four times in Chelsea<\/em>\u2018s last six games to silence the critics who claim he does not deliver often enough in the final third.<\/p>\n

Speaking in the club\u2019s official matchday programme ahead of tonight\u2019s Premier League clash with Newcastle, the academy product said: \u201cIt\u2019s definitely felt like a bit of a breakthrough.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve said it a number of times \u2014 I want to be a player that scores goals from midfield. I think I have the ability to do so and I wasn\u2019t able to do it so well earlier this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat might be to do with luck, or to do with myself, but to score four goals in the last few games has been brilliant and fills me with more confidence to hopefully go on and get some more.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been getting in the same positions all season, to be honest. It\u2019s really small margins.<\/p>\n

\u201cThankfully, the boys have found me a few times and I\u2019ve managed to score a few. But it\u2019s all about consistency, continuing to do that and helping the team score more goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

We have the Vill to bounce back<\/h2>\n
\"Ollie
Ollie Watkins and his Aston Villa team-mates had a day to forget against Tottenham<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ollie Watkins insists yesterday\u2019s home humiliation at the hands of fellow Champions League hopefuls Tottenham does not define Aston Villa\u2019s season.<\/p>\n

All eyes were on Villa Park as fourth in the Premier League hosted fifth, with Unai Emery\u2019s side edging the first half before being blown away after the break.<\/p>\n

Goals from James Maddison and Brennan Johnson were followed by Villa skipper John McGinn seeing red for a reckless challenge on Destiny Udogie.<\/p>\n

That dismissal killed off hopes of a comeback before Heung-Min Son and sub Timo Werner wrapped up a 4-0 hammering in stoppage time.<\/p>\n

Watkins, 28, said: \u201cReally disappointing. I felt in the first half they didn\u2019t cause us too many problems, I think they had one corner.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve scored two goals really quickly and it\u2019s very difficult against a good side to come back from 2-0. Obviously, with our captain getting sent off as well, it was difficult.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut this doesn\u2019t define us, this game doesn\u2019t define our season.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve done unbelievable to get where we are and have still got a lot of football to play.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lost his head<\/h2>\n

Lecce boss Roberto D\u2019Aversa has been sacked after he headbutted a player following yesterday\u2019s 1-0 home defeat to Hellas Verona.\u00a0<\/p>\n

D\u2019Aversa lost his head at the final whistle as Verona striker Thomas Henry argued with Lecce defender Marin Pongracic.<\/p>\n

He went over to intervene but instead ended up knocking Henry over in front of one of the match officials.<\/p>\n

A statement from the Serie A side said: \u201cAfter what happened at the end of the Lecce-Verona match, Lecce have relieved coach Roberto D\u2019Aversa of his duties.\u201d<\/p>\n

Replays appeared to show that it was a headbutt but D\u2019Aversa, 48, who has since apologised, later said on Instagram that he did not use his head.<\/p>\n

Both he and Henry were sent off.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of those days<\/h2>\n

Interim boss Mikey Harris revealed he had no complaints after Brighton were dumped out of the Women\u2019s FA Cup by Manchester United.<\/p>\n

The Seagulls, who sit ninth in the Women\u2019s Super League on 14 points, were put to the sword by goals from Millie Turner, Nikita Parris, Lucia Garcia and Lisa Naalsund at the Broadfield Stadium.<\/p>\n

And Harris was quick to take responsibility for the 4-0 hammering. He said: \u201cIt was a tough night. United were very good.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey pressed really well. On a few occasions we got out but not consistently and I have to look at that and review how I can help the players better.<\/p>\n

\u201cI take responsibility for the way we want to play but you have to find ways of getting round the strategies of the opposition.\u201d<\/p>\n

New look<\/h2>\n

Tom Cleverley has turned to a number of familiar faces to assist him during his time in charge of Watford.<\/p>\n

Armand Kavaja, Damon Lathrope and Jimmy Gilligan, who have held various roles with the Hornets, are all part of interim boss Cleverley\u2019s backroom staff.<\/p>\n

Kavaja, most recently the former Manchester United midfielder\u2019s assistant at Under-18 level, will work alongside Lathrope, the current head coach of the club\u2019s women\u2019s team.<\/p>\n

Former Hornets striker Gilligan, head of technical development at Watford\u2019s academy, will take up the role of technical consultant.<\/p>\n

Chris Douglas will also join 34-year-old Cleverley\u2019s staff as first-team analyst.<\/p>\n
