Solutions

1:F - Tottenham are above Real Madrid at the top of their group as they have scored more away goals., 2:D - O'Sullivan continued to play while the woman entered the arena and ran around the table.

Must be able to play against Fleetwood Town in the FA Cup.”, 5:C - It wasn’t the only five-match ban handed out to a Serie D player this week.

Shakespeare won 15 points from his first five games in the Premier League and then just 14 points in his next 16 games., 7:B - They are both third in their domestic leagues, having played eight, won five, drawn two, lost one and scored 15; and they have both played three, won two, drawn one, lost none and scored seven goals in the Champions League. And they couldn’t be separated in their match at the Bernabéu this week, which finished 1-1., 8:B - Myers missed the kicks on Sunday and was released on Monday. With no team to play for, presumably he will chill on Sunday., 9:C - Congratulations to Cork on their first league title in 12 years. , 10:C - When the 50-1 outsider was asked about facing Joshua in front of 80,000 fans in Cardiff, he said: “I don't know if I'm excited stressed or confused.”
