West Ham dug in and got back into the match in the 33rd minute, thanks to Said Benrahma’s penalty. Bukayo Saka had the chance to again extend Arsenal’s lead from the penalty spot in the 52nd minute but sent his effort well wide.

London, Oct 28 (Ians) Manchester United qualified for the knockout stage of the Europa League as Cristiano Ronaldo marked his return to the side by scoring in a 3-0 win over Sheriff Tiraspol at Old Trafford here on Thursaday.
In a match dominated by the Manchester United, headed goals from Diogo Dalot and Marcus Rashford in each half were added to by a late Cristiano Ronaldo strike to settle the victory. The result, our fourth win of the group stage, means there will be a showdown at Real Sociedad next week to decide who takes top spot and avoids having to play off against a third-placed side from the Champions League.
United must win by two goals to topple the San Sebastian outfit on the head-to-head, after their 1-0 victory at Old Trafford.

Rome, March 8 (Ians) A pair of stunners from Rade Krunic and Diogo Dalot helped AC Milan cement second place in the Serie A table, as the Rossoneri won 2-0 away to Hellas Verona.
An injury crisis was taking its toll on Milan, as coach Stefano Pioli had to do without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Mario Mandzukic, Hakan Calhanoglu, Ante Rebic and Ismael Bennacer. Rafael Leao continued his makeshift center-forward role, while Rade Krunic started as a trequartista.
The home side was close to breaking the deadlock on Sunday in the ninth minute as Fikayo Tomori's howler allowed Kevin Lasagna to loop the ball over an on-rushing Gianluigi Donnarumma, but Alessio Romagnoli made an decisive clearance, while at the other end Leao saw his header fly over the bar, Xinhua news agency reports.

Rome, Jan 19 (Ians) Zlatan Ibrahimovic's double helped AC Milan enjoy a 2-0 victory away to Cagliari in their latest encounter, despite Alexis Saelemaekers's red card.
With Rafael Leao suspended, and Theo Hernandez and Hakan Calhanoglu having tested positive for Covid-19, Milan on Monday evening started with Diogo Dalot and Jens Hauge, while Brahim Diaz roamed behind Ibrahimovic, reports Xinhua news agency.
The Rossoneri broke the deadlock just seven minutes into the game as Ibrahimovic was brought down in the box. The Swede kept his composure to convert the spot-kick.
The away side doubled the lead in the 52nd minute as Davide Calabria's cross-field ball found Ibrahimovic, who turned in from point-blank range.
The goal was initially ruled out for offside, but a Var check overturned the decision.
The downside for the Diavolo was Saelemaekers's sending off, with the Belgian collecting two yellow cards just eight minutes after coming on as a substitute.
