Solutions

1:B - Giggs isn’t the only one to have missed a few friendlies. Gareth Bale has been on for the pitch for just 26 minutes in Wales’ last seven friendly matches. , 2:C - Dyche made the unusual denial after his former team-mate, Soren Andersen, had speculated that the Burnley manager may have developed his gravelly voice by eating worms. “He had exactly the same voice when he was younger,” said Andersen. “Maybe the voice comes from eating earthworms, because every time we trained, he used to eat worms. He did, and it was horrible, I’ve never experienced anything like it. It was like: ‘Whoops, there’s an earthworm’ and then he ate it.", 3:C - Pedro, Willian and Álvaro Morata were all shown yellow cards for simulation. The referee did not give Chelsea a penalty during the match but they did go through on penalties., 4:E - Parker won a majority decision after a scrappy fight in Manchester last year., 5:C - Lambert was speaking at his unveiling as Stoke City manager, a job that had reportedly been turned down by Gary Rowett, Quique Sanchez Flores and Martin O'Neill., 6:C - Kostyuk is the youngest woman to reach the third round of a Grand Slam in 21 years. “I didn’t feel like she was 15 at all,” said Olivia Rogowska, who lost to Kostyuk in the second round., 7:E - Barcelona lost to local rivals Espanyol in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday night but they remain unbeaten in La Liga., 8:D - O’Sullivan, the defending champion, was speaking after losing to Mark Allen in the quarter-finals of the Masters at Alexandra Palace., 9:C - Speaking about his stint as the highest paid player in the world at Shanghai Shenhua, where he scored four goals in 20 appearances, Tevez said: "I was on holiday for seven months in China. It's fine for the Shanghai coach and president to criticise me. I didn't know what I was doing there. I was not in a position to give 100%.", 10:D - There was no hot water in the showers in the away dressing room when the Golden State Warriors visited. Players were heard screaming in discomfort, with Durant yelling: "Man, they got to do something in The Q. Somebody call Bron!"
