Henry’s struggling Monaco side loses 1-0 at Reims

By -
Thierry Henry must be wondering what he sig
ned up for as Monaco’s new coach.
After four matches, the France great has yet to win one, and his side is languishing in 19th place in the French league after losing at Reims 1-0.
Even with Colombia striker Radamel Falcao back from injury and coming off the bench for the entire second half, Monaco failed to score after Reims midfielder Alaixys Romao was sent off after 50 minutes. Monaco midfielder Pele was red-carded with 20 minutes left.
Monaco has seven points from 12 games and will drop to last place if Guingamp draws at Nantes on Sunday.
Henry has little to cheer him up, either.
Next weekend Monaco is at home to runaway leader Paris Saint-Germain, which has won its opening 12 games to set a European record for the top five leagues. PSG’s latest win was 2-1 at home against Lille on Friday.
Meanwhile, Lyon missed the chance to move into third place when it drew Bordeaux 1-1 at home, despite taking the lead through highly rated midfielder Houssem Aouar’s fourth goal of the season.

Alexander Zverev has lifted the lid on his on-court argument with Karen Khachanov, explaining it was due to his shoulder injury. At the end of a one-sided first set in his 6-1 6-2 defeat, Zverev complained to Khachanov about what he believed to be over-zealous reactions from the Russian’s camp at courtside. “I told him my shoulder is hurting and that his uncle, or something, he’s going a bit crazy,” he explained. “And I told him to tell him to keep it down because he was going a little bit too much over the edge. “I was never going to win the match, so it was just I told him to calm down a little bit.” “When you are losing, maybe you get frustrated from some calls from somebody in the crowd.” Khachanov added: “Maybe somebody from my box screamed on his mistake and that was the reason. “But then we’re good friends outside the court and everything is fine.”

FUMING MANCHESTER UNITED FANS TEAR INTO TEAM AFTER DISMAL START V BOURNEMOUTH

Manchester United fans are not happy after a poor opening to their game against Bournemouth. In a shambolic start, United saw their defence torn to shreds by an exciting and vibrant Bournemouth side who are playing some excellent football at this moment in time. The attacking players, without Romelu Lukaku, failed to link up with Alexis Sanchez and Anthony Martial failing to got hold of the ball and show their attacking flair. However, for the United fans, it was Jose Mourinho and the weak back line who took the brunt of the abuse on social media. The opening Bournemouth goal came from a corner as Junior Stanislas was left in acres of space on the right-hand side. He squared the ball to Callum Wilson who finished with aplomb and has now scored more goals that Harry Kane and Mo Salah this season. John Gorman on Twitter said: “Smalling again. Biggest liability we have. We seriously need to get him out of the team. Bang average at best.” Ryan on Twitter: “We have an unparallele...

Divock Origi rescued Liverpool's Premier League title bid with a 86th-minute winner as a 3-2 victory over Newcastle shifted the pressure onto Manchester City with moments to spare. Liverpool's title challenge looked set to unravel at St James' Park as strikes from Christian Atsu (20) and Salomon Rondon (54) saw Newcastle came from behind twice to cancel out first-half goals from Virgil van Dijk (13) and Mohamed Salah (28). Liverpool's cause was further hampered by the loss of Salah to a nasty head injury midway through the second half, but his replacement Origi's glancing header sealed a priceless victory for Jurgen Klopp's side as this season's fascinating title race took another twist. The victory sees Liverpool move two points clear at the top of the table and applies the pressure on champions Manchester City ahead of their clash with Leicester on Monday Night Football.
