AFCON 2021: “We had a lack of experience,” Burkina Faso captain says after defeat
Bertrand Traore has said that a lack of game management cost Burkina Faso a 2-1 defeat in their Africa Cup of Nations opener. The Stallions scored the first goal but conceded two penalties to lose their first AFCON game against Cameroon at the weekend. Traore set up the first goal of the match, delivering a brilliant cross that was converted by Gustavo Sangare in the middle of the first half. However, the team captain then clumsily brought down Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa to concede a penalty, which was superbly converted by Vincent Aboubakar. The host nation got another penalty opportunity to extend the scoreline when Issoufou Dayo slid in on Tolo. Aboubakar again made no mistake and managed to put his side in a commanding position for victory. Burkina F...

Jesper Gronkjaer: Hakim Ziyech will succeed in Premier League with Chelsea
Jesper Gronkjaer is backing Hakim Ziyech to succeed after his £37 million ($43m) move from Ajax to Chelsea. The Blues completed a deal in late February and the 27-year-old is set to link up with his new team-mates on July 1, with the Eredivisie season cancelled amid the coronavirus outbreak.
