Flick will ‘protect’ Barca teen star Yamal
BARCELONA: Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said Saturday he will “protect” teenage star Lamine Yamal after recent criticism. The 18-year-old winger struggled in the Clasico last weekend as champions Barca fell to a defeat that left them five points behind La Liga leaders Real Madrid. Yamal was also in the spotlight for comments before the game insinuating Madrid “steal (and) complain” which riled Los Blancos fans and a big part of the Spanish media. “We speak with him... we are very honest together, he with me and I with him and this is the best way,” Flick told a news conference ahead of Barca’s match against Elche on Sunday in La Liga. “I will always protect him and support him.

Arsenal cruise against Burnley as Forest hold Man Utd
LONDON: Arsenal brushed Burnley aside 2-0 on Saturday to surge seven points clear at the top of the Premier League as struggling Nottingham Forest held in-form Manchester United to a 2-2 draw. Chelsea edged Tottenham 1-0 to climb to fourth in the table while champions Liverpool prepared to host Aston Villa in the late kick-off, desperate to end a four-match losing streak that has derailed their title defense. Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have won five league games in a row to position themselves as firm favorites to end their painful two-decade wait to be crowned English champions. Viktor Gyokeres headed the Gunners ahead following a Declan Rice corner in the first half at Turf Moor for his first league goal since mid-September — yet more joy for the set-piece specialists. England midfielder Rice himself headed home to double the visitors’ lead in the 35th minute and put them in total control. “The first half was exceptional — we scored two goals and gave nothing away,” Arteta told the BBC. “That was the platform. We had to make a few changes and didn’t have that much control in the second half. Defending was exceptional again, we didn’t give anything.” Arsenal, who have now won nine games in a row in all competitions, have enviable options in attack but their team is built on a rock-solid defense that has conceded just three league goals in 10 games this season.
