He struck the opener before the break and created Diogo Dalot's second after the break. Antony's one of Antony's criticisms is that he doesn't spend enough on his left foot.

Micah Richards: This year will be the best England scalp in my lifetime if defeating France in the World Cup quarter-finals

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 9, 2022
MICAH RICHARDS: It would be the best result the team has achieved on foreign soil if England (pictured) defeated France. I'd even go as far as to say that it's the best scalp I've seen in my lifetime. It would be amazing to face the reigning champions - who boast the world's best player in Kylian Mbappe - away from Wembley Stadium. We've defeated top teams in knockout games, but this will be a big leap forward. However, it must be stated that this is only the quarter-finals. I have a feeling from social media and speaking with some people that if England defeats France, it would be as good as having one hand on the trophy - don't fall into that trap.

Arsene Wenger admits he had 'a lot of aggravations' with Jose Mourinho in his first stint at Chelsea

www.dailymail.co.uk, August 15, 2022
During Mourinho's tenure as a Portuguese manager with both Chelsea and Manchester United in the Premier League, the long-serving Gunners boss had many clashes with him. Both Wenger and Mourinho yelled barbs at one another in the media, though the pair also clashed on the touchline on several occasions since Mourinho first joined the Blues. The 72-year-old Frenchman, who is now FIFA's Head of Global Football Development, has delved into how the tense rivalry began when the 'Special One' first arrived in England. Roman Abrahimovich took over Chelsea in 2003 before naming Mourinho just a year later, where the team is investing significant money in the transfer window. Didier Drogba, Petr Cech, Arjen Robben, Rien Robben, Riben Robben, Matej Kezman, and several others have been signed by the Blues, but this was just the start of the big-money investment. The worst case was perhaps when Chelsea snapped up Arsenal and England player Ashley Cole in 2006 after a lengthy transfer drama over the player between the two teams.
