Of games, really. We equalised very laid against west ham. We scored a late winner against stoke and a late winner here today. So i have to commend the players attitude and determination to keep going even when things dont look as though they are going to go our way. Burnley have moved fourth and into the Champions League spots after a late Ashley Barnes goal in the 89th minute gave them victory over stoke city at turf moor. The win takes sean dyches side, for 2h hours at least, ahead of the likes of liverpool, arsenal and tottenham. The reality is we have another tough game on saturday. You know we are enjoying this, of course, the players and the right. The next game is quickly on saturday. That is the focus. I am pleased with the lads tonight. They have to work hard tonight, grind it out. A real moment of quality to win it. That one will be parked. Thursday we look to recover and move onto the next one. And chelsea have returned to the Winners Circle after their loss against west ha

Was very very powerful for bayern tonight. At the moment in the game when lewandowski was not only was it not a penalty but he was offside, and on top of that it wasnt a penalty, on top of that he gives us a red card, that killed us completely. Holders real madrid were also in action on tuesday as they travelled to italy and a match against napoli. The spanish side were 3 1 winners on the night for a 6 2 Aggregate Win but as our football reporter john bennett explains it hasnt been vintage real of late. Real madrid have been inconsistent and that was reflected in the first half because napoli dominated the first half, they looked like they could overturn that deficit.
