Solutions

1:E - He didn’t win the league with Benfica or União de Leiria earlier in his career., 2:C - Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee also studied at Leeds University., 3:D - United were trailing Arsenal in the title race and desperately needed to pick up all three points against Newcastle at Old Trafford. With the score tied at 1-1 in the last minute, Rob Lee broke upfield for Newcastle without a defender in sight. Solskjær chased him down, wiped him out and took one for the team. One United fanzine voted it as their moment of the season., 4:D - Solberg, the prime minister of Norway, tweeted the news excitedly before realising it was just a rumour. “Like most Norwegians, I was eagerly waiting to hear from Old Trafford last night. When I saw what I took to be a confirmation, I tweeted my congratulations, but then I saw it was a bit too soon. There is no secret communication between the Norwegian PM and Manchester United football club! Now I am happy to congratulate Ole Gunnar. This definitely is a big day for Norwegian football.”, 5:C - Álvarez knocked Fielding down four times in three rounds before the referee had seen enough., 6:D - When he was in charge of Sheffield United in the 2014-15 season., 7:B - Hasenhüttl was impressed by the noise produced by the home fans. “I don’t drink beer that often but this was a first perfect step to help us. When it works like this, you have to do it every game at home – we’ll see.”, 8:C - Dereck “WAR” Chisora is fighting Dillian “The Body Snatcher” Whyte in London on Saturday night. Chisora used to go under the name "Del Boy" but he has changed his style in recent months. “I am at a point in my career I know I cannot afford to make mistakes. ‘Del Boy’ is no more, I am not playing, I am not cutting corners or looking for the short cuts, I have realised I need to live the life of a professional if I am to achieve what I know I am capable of. There will be no more late nights partying, drinking, getting distracted by stuff that will simply move me away from my dream. To all heavyweights out there who think Dereck Chisora has had his time, missed his moment, you’re wrong, this is just the beginning, this is WAR.”, 9:B - Bale hit his hat-trick for Real Madrid in their first match at the Club World Cup, a tournament they have won in three of the last four years., 10:C - Bayern Munich drew Liverpool, Borussia Dortmund drew Spurs, and Schalke drew Manchester City.
