Harry Kane scored his 30th goal of the season in their 3-1 Premier League win against Newcastle United. ||| London - Harry Kane was the toast of Tottenham Hotspur once again as the England striker scored his 30th goal of the season in their 3-1 Premier League win against Newcastle United on Sunday. The 21-year-old has reached that total in all competitions, including 20 in the Premier League, and is the first Spurs player since Gary Lineker in 1991-92 to reach 30 in a season. Kane, who has been nominated for the PFA Player of the Year and PFA Young Player of the Year awards, has become a fans' favourite at White Hart Lane this term, lauded as “one of our own” after coming through the youth ranks since the age of 11. “I'm very proud but there are five games left and, hopefully, I'll get a few more goals,” Kane told Sky Sports. “We deserved it today. We played well. We've had some disappointing performances in the last couple of weeks and we wanted to put that right. “I h...

Aston Villa ended Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard's dream of bringing his 17-year career at Anfield to a close with a cup winner's medal. ||| London - Aston Villa will meet holders Arsenal in the FA Cup final next month after goals from Christian Benteke and Fabian Delph gave them a 2-1 win over Liverpool in a pulsating semi-final at Wembley on Sunday. Villa's unexpected but thoroughly deserved come-from-behind victory ended Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard's dream of bringing his 17-year career at Anfield to a close with a cup winner's medal on his 35th birthday in the final on May 30. Tim Sherwood, who has revitalised Villa since replacing Paul Lambert as manager in February, told reporters: “We bamboozled them. They could not cope with our tactics and I think we were the better side.” Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said: “We were nervous for some reason. Maybe when you want to win something so much, perhaps it plays on your mind. We were second best today.” L...

Louis van Gaal hailed the best performance of his Manchester United tenure even after seeing his side lose to Chelsea. ||| London - Louis van Gaal hailed the best performance of his Manchester United tenure even after seeing his side lose to title-chasing Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. United's six-game Premier League winning streak came to an end, but Van Gaal said: “I am not frustrated, I am very proud of my team. We played the best match of this season. But in football you can lose in spite of being the better team. “We were the dominant team on the pitch. We created more chances. We were always in their half. It was an unbelievable performance.” Jose Mourinho was just as pleased after seeing his team move so close to the title. “The team was fantastic,” he said. When asked about John Terry saying the players almost felt champions, however, he warned that they were not there yet. “I am not happy if John said that,” he said. “We need eight points to be champions. Football is not abo...

Brazilian legend Ronaldinho put Club America to the sword with two well-taken goals. On the heels of Club America's 4-0 spanking from Queretaro, the Aguilas team, which had so recently climbed out of a crisis situation precipitated by another loss by four goals to Veracruz, finds itself right back in the darkness of doubt and unanswered questions.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino insists that his side are still aiming for a top four finish. Most Tottenham fans never expected a top-four finish this season, so the fact they are almost certain to miss out will not be a cause for great dismay. The goal was always gradual improvement -- yet another transitional season but hopefully the last one for a while, at least, with the promise of better things just around the corner.
