Lewis makes England debutSays it's an honour to play for Three LionsImpresses in North Macedonia drawWHAT HAPPENED?

Gareth Southgate handed Lewis his senior England debut on Monday against North Macedonia and saw the 19-year-old go on to pick up the player of the match award. Lewis has now reflected on his maiden bow on social media with an epic photograph showing him in full Three Lions kit as a very young child.

"Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey so far. It is an honor of a lifetime to represent England," he posted alongside the picture on Instagram.

Lewis certainly impressed his manager against North Macedonia. Southgate said after the 1-1 draw that he felt the Manchester City youngster was "excellent" and the decision to award a penalty against him was "very, very harsh." Lewis will be hoping he can now make a late push for England's Euro 2024 squad and his versatility will make him an attractive option. The youngster can play in both full-back positions as well as in midfield.

DID YOU KNOW?

Rico Lewis has become the second-youngest Manchester City player to feature for England (18 years, 364 days), behind only Micah Richards in 2006 (18 years, 144 days).

GettyWHAT NEXT FOR RICO LEWIS?

Lewis will now return to City and will be aiming for more Premier League starts in a bid to boost his international hopes. The teenager has made five appearances in the top flight so far this season but only two of those outings have been as a starter. The Cityzens return to action on Saturday in a top-of-the-table clash with Liverpool.

The Red Devils ran out 2-0 winners at Wembley as Erik ten Hag secured his first silverware in English football with a victory over Eddie Howe's side

A Casemiro-inspired Manchester United ended their near six-year long wait for a trophy, beating Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday.

After an even, slightly untidy start where chances were at a premium, United blew the game wide open with two quickfire goals in just six first-half minutes.

The exceptional Casemiro grabbed the opener, nodding Luke Shaw's free kick past Loris Karius. And six minutes later, Marcus Rashford burst free of the Magpies' defence and fired on goal, with an unfortunate deflection off Sven Botman taking the ball into the net.

United didn't have it all their own way after the break as, buoyed by a rampant travelling support, Newcastle dialed up the pressure. In truth though, there was never much danger of them letting their lead slip as they clinched the first major silverware of the Erik ten Hag era.

GOAL rates Man Utd's players from Wembley…

  Goalkeeper & Defence

  David de Gea (7/10):

  His strong hand denied Saint-Maximin in the first half. Seemed pretty confident collecting high balls and sweeping up behind his defence.

  Diogo Dalot (4/10):

  Early, and largely unnecessary booking, had him walking a tightrope. Saint-Maximin regularly had the beating of Dalot in all honesty, and it was little surprise to see him hooked at half-time.

  Lisandro Martinez (7/10):

  Made a huge block to deny Bruno Guimaraes when Newcastle were piling on the pressure in the second half. What a superb piece of business.

  Raphael Varane (7/10):

  Passing wasn't perfect, but very little wrong with his defending.

  Luke Shaw (7/10):

  Absolutely delicious ball led to the opener. He also chipped in with some vital interceptions, showcasing his astute reading of the game.

  Midfield

  Casemiro (8/10):

  Guided his header into the corner superbly to open the scoring. Barely did anything wrong – worth every penny United spent on him.

  Fred (6/10):

  A nice foil for his compatriot. Typically full of energy, but was overly enthusiastic in his tackles on occasion. Taken off while on a booking.

  Bruno Fernandes (5/10):

  Worked really hard off the ball but wasn't particularly creative. Not much he tried came off and made a hash of two, potentially game-ending passes late on, before squandering a chance to make it three himself.

  Attack

  Antony (6/10):

  Rarely gave the ball away in the final third. Nothing too magical, though he did wind up his opponents.

  Wout Weghorst (7/10):

  Ran the channels like an animal all game. Denied by a wonderful Karius save just before the break and completed a nice lay-off just before the second goal.

  Marcus Rashford (7/10):

  United were looking to release him at every opportunity and he eventually forced a goal when his shot deflected off Botman and over Karius. His astounding recent form continues.

  Subs & Manager

  Aaron Wan-Bissaka (7/10):

  Solid after replacing Dalot. Will be interesting to see if he can become first choice after improving so drastically under Ten Hag.

  Marcel Sabitzer (6/10):

  Kept the pressure on Newcastle as they searched for an equaliser.

  Scott McTominay (6/10):

  His height was helpful in the penalty box.

  Jadon Sancho (N/A):

  Not enough time to make an impact.

  Harry Maguire (N/A):

  Nice of Ten Hag to give his captain a run out in the closing stages.

  Erik ten Hag (9/10):

  Told his side to release Rashford early in the first half – to decent effect. Smartly removed any players on a booking from the fray. The first United manager to lift a trophy since Jose Mourinho.

O meia Jean Mota, do Santos, faz parte dos planos do Bahia para a próxima temporada. O clube baiano está disposto a desembolsar R$ 5 milhões pelo atleta. O Peixe, no entanto, ainda vai avaliar o valor.

A informação foi inicialmente publicada pelo ‘Yahoo Esportes’ e confirmada pelo empresário do meia, Diogo Silva, ao LANCE!.O presidente do Santos, José Carlos Peres, foi procurado pela reportagem, mas ainda não respondeu.

O interesse do Bahia é antigo. No ano passado, o Tricolor de Aço fez uma proposta de empréstimo, mas o Santos não aceitou. O Peixe, inclusive, quis uma troca entre o camisa 41 e o volante Ramires, que foi recusada pelo time baiano.

O Corinthians está nas semifinais do Campeonato Brasileiro Sub-20. Na tarde desta quinta, o Timãozinho mediu forças com o São Paulo no Parque São Jorge e venceu, por 2 a 1, com dois gols de Léo Pereira. Como havia empatado no duelo da ida no Morumbi, em 1 a 1, o Alvinegro garantiu sua vaga na próxima fase do torneio nacional.

Como já era esperado durante toda a semana, o Majestoso começou disputado, sem grandes chances para ambos os lados. Ciente da importância da partida, o São Paulo foi reforçado pelo atacante Helinho e pelo meio-campista Gabriel Sara, ambos jogadores do elenco profissional. Mesmo com os garotos em campo, o Tricolor não conseguiu segurar o Timãozinho.

Desfalcado do técnico Dyego Coelho, suspenso pelo terceiro cartão amarelo, o Corinthians fez um primeiro tempo tímido, mas de muita entrega em campo. Na volta do intervalo, o Alvinegro encontrou os espaços na defesa do São Paulo e, em dois rápidos contra-ataques, Léo Pereira apareceu entre os zagueiros adversários para dar a vitória ao time da casa.

Sem se entregar em campo, o São Paulo buscou o empate durante toda a partida. Aos 45 minutos do segundo tempo, Maia recebeu bola na lateral do campo, carregou pelo meio, achou um espaço e, de fora da área, acertou um belo chute colocado, sem chances de defesa para Guilherme. Apesar do esforço, o Tricolor não conseguiu reverter o resultado e o Corinthians carimbou seu passaporte às semifinais.

Vice-artilheiro do Cuiabá na surpreendente campanha do clube na Série B, o volante Jean Patrick vem apresentando no campeonato nacional o mesmo bom futebol que levou o Vasco a buscá-lo no Luverdense em 2015.

Com três gols marcados em catorze partidas disputadas no torneio, o paranaense afirma que passa pela melhor fase de sua carreira.

– Muitos dizem que o jogador de futebol atinge o seu auge por volta dos 26, 27 anos e creio que sou um bom exemplo disso. Estou em em ótima forma física e técnica além de me sentir mais maduro em campo. Realmente o tempo faz com que reconheçamos mais facilmente os atalhos durante os jogos e isso é de fato positivo. Não tenho dúvidas de que ainda ajudarei muito o Cuiabá nesta temporada – declarou.

Três pontos atrás do G4, mas com uma partida a menos disputada, o Cuiabá conta com o retorno de Jean na partida do próximo sábado na Arena Pantanal diante do Londrina, pela rodada 26 da competição nacional.

Para o atleta, derrotar a equipe paranaense será importante pela soma de mais três pontos na classificação e também para encher o grupo de moral antes do difícil confronto contra o vice-líder Atlético Goianiense na rodada posterior.

A gente tentou abrir de uma forma, fazendo Nonato ser o primeiro do tripé na parte defensiva para que a gente pudesse ter a criação do Nonato e dois caras de imposição. A gente inverteu o tripé, trouxe Patrick para trás e fez a inversão. Aí, a equipe se encontrou melhor taticamente, tiramos essa situação de volume. No intervalo a gente sentou, conversou e ajustou melhor. E aí acho que a gente foi merecedor da vitória em todos os sentidos, defensivo, ofensivo’, afirmou Hellmann.

Agora, a missão do Inter é a Copa do Brasil. Na próxima quarta-feira, o Colorado encara o Furacão na Arena da Baixada e o comandante do elenco quer o seu time com o psicológico forte.

Não ganhamos nada. Para que a gente possa conquistar o troféu, a gente tem que continuar assim nesses dois jogos finais e 20%, 30% mais’, ressaltou.

ScorecardFile photo – Callum Ferguson led South Australia’s reply with an unbeaten 100•Getty Images

A sporting declaration by South Australia’s captain Johan Botha against Queensland has opened up the possibility of an outright result on the final day of the Sheffield Shield match at Adelaide Oval.The Redbacks were cruising at 4 for 368 when Botha called in Callum Ferguson on an even 100, leaving the Bulls with time to set a fourth-innings chase for their hosts.Ferguson enjoyed fruitful stands with Tom Cooper and Travis Head before reaching three figures, while the off spinner Jason Floros was Queensland’s only wicket-taker.First innings hat-trick taker Chadd Sayers grabbed another two early wickets when the Bulls batted again, but Joe Burns and Peter Forrest settled the innings down and will be chasing quick runs when play resumes on day four.

England’s composition has been under fire in ODIs but they have an opportunity to address against India, who have rarely been in advantageous positions in away series in the recent past

The Preview by Alagappan Muthu29-Aug-2014Match factsSaturday, August 30, 2014
Start time 10.30am local (0930 GMT)Big PictureThere was a century from an Indian middle-order batsman to resuscitate an innings going astray. In reply, England’s batting faltered. That only increased questions over Alastair Cook’s captaincy. India went 1-0 up. England in disarray. We’ve been here before. The rigours of limited-overs cricket might pale to Tests, as MS Dhoni has often pointed out on this tour, but in a four-match series success hinges on the ability to harness advantages. England will know India haven’t been outstanding in that department. And India will know England are still discovering their identity as an ODI side.They are testing a new opening partnership, which in the last two years has produced only one century stand. Cook was part of that and has politely brushed aside the punches aimed at himself and his team through the summer. Occasionally he has thrown them back. But his words will ring hollow unless accompanied with examples on the field. Lately though, the ammunition is in the hands of their critics: West Indies had them 89 for 6 chasing 160 in March, Sri Lanka routed them for 99 in May, India had given them a shock at the Champions Trophy final and did it again in Cardiff. The visitors have England down, but how long can they maintain that?India were authoritative at Cardiff, but can they keep up the intensity?•Getty ImagesRohit Sharma, one of the more important variables in India’s one-day formula, is out injured. The top three haven’t managed the kind of foundations Dhoni prefers. The India captain likes his cogs in place. He likes a strong score on the board. He likes to come in late and hike the total further. He likes a couple of early wickets so his spinners can prey on uncertain batsmen. He knows how to work his individual resources to harmonise with each other, like an orchestra conductor. However, in the past five years, India have lost four series on the road and one of their two successes have been against Zimbabwe. Dhoni and his team would want to prove they have the requisite ruthlessness that comes with being world champions.Form guide (last five completed matches, most recent first)England LLLWL

Players to watchIndia’s top order has often been stuck in the dressing room, watching their team-mates or their opponents cash in when the pitch eases out. None would know that rankle as much as Shikhar Dhawan. He sees the region outside his off stump as if it is poison. His feet are often splayed on leg stump with his hands leading away from him. When in form, he can be fluent through that very region but he needs to last beyond the early overs to rediscover that.England might be reeling under the impression of being stolid, but in Eoin Morgan they have a batsman that can upset most bowling attacks. His range of strokes often goes beyond the textbook, unlike the top order’s which has helped him average 55.50 in the Royal London One-Day Cup. He has Middlesex’s lone century so far in the tournament so far and England will hope the seeds he sowed in the domestic circuit bear fruit for them too.Team newsEngland’s batting, if they can live up to potential, can offer challenge. But the composition of their bowling might be of greater concern. They have a left-arm seamer in Harry Gurney with the squad who could offer some variation.England (probable) 1 Alastair Cook (capt), 2 Alex Hales, 3 Ian Bell, 4 Joe Root, 5 Eoin Morgan, 6 Ben Stokes/ Moeen Ali, 7 Jos Buttler (wk), 8 Chris Woakes, 9 Chris Jordan/ Harry Gurney, 10 James Anderson, 11 James TredwellThe loss of an opening batsman leaves India with little options. They have flown M Vijay back, but he hasn’t arrived in England yet.

A chance to redress that comes with the added bonus that rain would be expected to play, at worst, a minimal part. The batsmen can expect a true deck, with Alex Hales, the hometown boy, bashing a century and overpowering a target of 303 last week.Stats and trivia James Anderson averages 19.37 at Trent Bridge, as compared to an overall figure of 28.91 India have only played four ODIs at Trent Bridge and have lost three of them.

Surrey 132 and 47 for 0 (Smith 39*) need another 220 runs to beat Gloucestershire 168 and 230
ScorecardKevin O’Brien will be returning to play in Surrey’s colours for the NatWest T20 Blast•Getty Images

Squad rotation is a reality that modern football has become well acquainted with. To most counties, their meagre playing resources make that notion an unimaginable luxury.Surrey are different. On a day limited to 17 deliveries – Surrey’s quest for a second Championship win since September 2012 will resume on Wednesday – they provided another reminder of their financial strength by signing Ireland’s Kevin O’Brien. It adds lustre to their Twenty20 batting line-up ahead of their tournament opener at Hove on Friday night.But it is in pace bowling that Surrey’s resources are most plentiful and where resting players is a luxury they can afford.While Tom Curran, Matt Dunn, Tim Linley and Chris Tremlett illustrated their contrasting qualities to take 20 Gloucestershire wickets for only 398 in this game, Jade Dernbach and Stuart Meaker were rested with the NatWest Blast in mind. Add in George Edwards and Surrey, for all their plight near the foot of Division Two in the Championship, have seven pace bowlers with strong claims.The club’s approach to managing these talents evokes Claudio “The Tinkerman” Ranieri’s selection policy at Chelsea a decade ago. “You generally try and get your quick bowlers to play between ten and twelve games each, so that when they play they’re fresh and when they’re just lagging a bit you can leave them out and someone else can come in fresh,” Surrey’s director of cricket – and Chelsea fan – Alec Stewart explained after the first day. “That’s how we try and do it with the bowling resources.”Tremlett is among those who should benefit. “That’s the joy of having a big squad,” he said. “I don’t want to put my body under too much stress.”In other positions, the need for rotation is less pressing. Behind the stumps, Gary Wilson, who has deposed Niall O’Brien as Ireland wicketkeeper, will be in no mood to relinquish the responsibilities that he has gained while Steven Davies works on his batting.Stewart warned Davies that, “No one has a divine right to say ‘I’m a keeper therefore I keep’. It’s how the selectors feel.” Wilson strengthened his case with impressive keeping in both innings against Gloucestershire, which was not reflected in a match total of 25 byes.With rain dominating the day, Wilson had the chance to welcome his compatriot Kevin O’Brien. In the spirit of the age, he tweeted a selfie, though one imagines that it resonated rather less far than David Cameron’s attempt at Nelson Mandela’s funeral last year. O’Brien is expected to be available for nine games before he heads to the Caribbean: such is the life of the nomadic cricketer.The lack of regular team-mates is “probably one of the hardest things to get used to” but O’Brien said that it was “easier when you come back and you know the guys in the changing room”. He made a big impression in very little time last season, relishing the short boundaries to the Mound and Tavern stands in scything a 24-ball 54 at Lord’s.That innings was from No. 4, though it is opening – as when smiting a century for Gloucestershire in 2011 – that O’Brien prefers. “It’s the best time to bat in Twenty20,” he said. “You’ve got an opportunity to face the most balls.” It is expected that O’Brien will be used in the middle order, with Graeme Smith, Jason Roy, Steven Davies and – once his IPL commitments are done – Kevin Pietersen at the top.It all promises no shortage of razzmatazz. Surrey’s challenge to win this game is more mundane but, against a Gloucestershire attack who bowled them out for 132 in their first innings, no less challenging for that.
