Alcaraz was named as a surprise prospect for Everton on Friday night, when a report came in that they had finalised a deal for him.  Flamengo confirmed those reports and explained that Charly is flying for England for a medical check up with the Toffees on Sunday.

Lille coach Bruno Genesio admits that he was frustrated by his club’s Champions League loss against Liverpool. Jonathan David equalized the opener by Mohammed Salah for Liverpool, before substitute Harveu Elliot scored the winner halfway through the second-half. online pharmacy buy professional cialis online with best prices today in the USA Genesio said afterwards: “I feel a bit sorry about the fact that while we were disciplined in the first half, we were a bit timid. We weren’t really that keen on going on the attack and should have used the ball better. We didn’t move quickly enough or use overloads out wide. “In the second half things were a little bit different and we tried to be more ambitious. We did equalise but didn’t make a good job defending the second goal. “We may well have equalised again as we had some opportunities. Had we played in the first half as we did in the second half we might have done better. online pharmacy buy mebendazole online with best prices today in the USA “Hopefully this will help us grow and become more confident and make us aware of what we are able to do. We needed to go for it a bit more often and create more problems for Liverpool.” Genesio added: “Of course we have a sense of frustration. When you lose you are always disappointed and frustrated. It’s a feeling which is mixed with pride as well. The display we put on, particularly in the second half when one man down, was something I’m very pleased with. “But we’re frustrated particularly with the way we conceded the second goal. The real problem was that we lost the ball in midfield a lot and went a bit too wide too slowly. We know they are quick in transitions, not least of all Mohamed Salah, and the first goal they got us off balance but even before we lost the ball we could have done better in an attacking point of view. “I have a few regrets but it shows the gap that still exists between us and one of the really top, top teams. There’s a reason they are top of both leagues they are in at the moment. “They have seven wins out of seven in the Champions League so nobody should be surprised to see how they played this evening. They have highly-talented players and are extremely fast up front, which is important in modern football. online pharmacy buy flomax online with best prices today in the USA They are very good one on one in the duels as well, and we saw the impact of that.”

Arsenal watched their Premier League title hopes take a devastating blow when Aston Villa came back from a two-goal deficit to force a shocking 2-2 draw at the Emirates Stadium. This was a fifth undefeated match in seven fixtures for Unai Emery against his former club. After watching Liverpool move seven points clear at the top of the Premier League earlier in the day, the Gunners knew they needed a positive response against a Villa side that is in-form.  Arsenal threatened an early breakthrough when Gabriel Martinelli watched Emiliano Martinez spoil a close-range effort, while Ian Maatsen’s strong drive was stopped by David Raya.  The end-to-end nature of the game continued as the first half progressed, and after Ollie Watkins rejected a good chance for Aston, Arsenal snapped the deadlock in the 35th minute.  Leandro Trossard, passed a remarkable cross to Martinelli, who passed Maatsen and sent the ball home to score his seventh goal of the season.  Mikel Arteta’s squad carried that into the early stages of the second half and soon they topped off their lead, with Kai Havertz converting from another inch-perfect Trossard delivery.  Resolute, the guests split the deficit when Youri Tielemans timed his run to bury Lucas Digne’s cross into the bottom corner. Tielemans hit the post a minute later as Villa was on the edge of an incredible turnaround.  Villa equalised the scores with 22 minutes left, as Watkins was unmarked at the back post to score using Matty Cash’s pass. Both clubs were ready for the grand finale as they chased a late winner, and Arsenal thought they had it in the 88th minute, only for Mikel Merino’s strike to be ruled out due to a handball by Havertz.  The Gunners stayed menacing, as Merino scored in stoppage time, but Aston stood their ground to claim a share of the points.
