Forgotten man Michy Batshuayi was the unlikely goalscoring hero as The Blues snatched a late victory over The Baggies. West Bromwich Albion started the match well and Salomon Rondon’s looping header troubled Blues keeper Thibaut Courtois early on. Pedro went close early in the match on three occasions while defenders Gary Cahill and Cesar Azpilicueta also saw efforts go just wide. The Blues were inches away from taking the lead 20 minutes into the contest but Cahill’s fizzing effort was bravely blocked by Gareth McAuley. Cesc Fabregas struck another Chelsea effort wide as the first half ended goalless with very few clear goalscoring chances being produced. The second half started with Pedro again worrying home keeper Ben Foster but the player saw another shot go wide while Diego Costa struggled to get off a shot as he was tightly marked by the home defence. Moses then forced a superb low save from Foster with a strike across goal before Fabr...

FIFA is set to conduct an investigation into the transfer of Paul Pogba from Juventus to Manchester United after documents displaying the huge fee paid to agent Mino Raiola got exposed to the public.

It had to take a Granit Xhaka effort and a former Man U player, Danny Welbeck's shock header for coaching veteran, Arsene Wenger to register his first career win over rival, Jose Mourinho in the premier league on Sunday evening. Jose Mourinho, started with Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, players that have been injured for almost two months to start in the center of the defence while Wayne Rooney was brought back into the fold alongside Juan Mata and young debutant Axel Tuanzebe. Wenger started with Danny Welbeck, Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez upfront while the likes of Alex Iwobi, Giroud and Theo Walcott had to settle for a spot on the bench. Swiss international, Granit Xhaka fired from 30 yards out in the second half and a nasty deflection by Ander Herrera saw the ball overtake De Gea- whose future as each second passes by, seems to lie more in Madrid than in Manchester. And shockingly within two minutes, Mancunian, Danny Welbeck headed home from a Alex O...

Nyako had granted Kanu bail on stringent terms on Tuesday. One of the conditions is that he must present a Jewish leader as surety. But a family source told TheCable that the IPOB leader had rejected the order for his conditional release. ¤ “Nnamdi Kanu has said he will not accept the bail until other persons he was charged alongside are granted bail as well,” the source said. • “You know how he is. That is his decision.” However, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, Kanu’s lawyer, said his client had not rejected the bail. TheCable understands that Israel and Sally Kanu, the IPOB leader’s parents, are not satisfied with the conditions given for the release of their son, hence they have called for his unconditional release.

Three quick thoughts from Chelsea 4-2 Tottenham in the FA Cup semifinals at Wembley on Saturday. • 1. Hazard makes the difference for Chelsea • Antonio Conte's gamble to leave Eden Hazard and Diego Costa on the bench paid off as Chelsea beat Tottenham 4-2 in a compelling FA Cup semifinal. Hazard came off the bench with half an hour to go, and his compelling cameo changed the game. He scored the goal that sent Chelsea in front for the third time and then set up Nemanja Matic to score the fourth. Chelsea go into next month's FA Cup final with a chance to win the Double. Hazard and Costa will also be relatively fresh for their team's Premier League match against Southampton on Tuesday, where a victory would bring the title a step closer. Willian gave Conte's team the lead twice in the first half. Harry Kane and Dele Alli both leveled with brilliant goals, but Hazard had the last word. Chelsea started well.
