Maicon headed in the winner for Porto

29 September 2015 Last updated at 22:27

Chelsea's poor start to the season continued as they were beaten by Porto in the Champions League.

Andre Andre gave Porto the lead, volleying in after Asmir Begovic pushed away Yacine Brahimi's effort.

Midfielder Willian equalised on the stroke of half-time with a superb free-kick from the edge of the area.

Maicon put the home side ahead again with a flicked header at the front post, before Diego Costa rattled the bar with a curling shot.

Chelsea's Cesc Fabregas and Pedro both forced Spain team-mate Iker Casillas - making a record 152nd appearance in the competition - into saves early on.

But despite their early pressure, and a late penalty claim for a handball by Ivan Marcano, they came away from the Estadio do Dragao with nothing.

Problems at the back

Yacine Brahimi (8) caused Branislav Ivanovic (2) plenty of problems and skinned him for the first goal

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho sprung a surprise before kick-off by leaving out last year's PFA player of the year Eden Hazard, who has struggled for form this season. On-loan striker Radamel Falcao failed to even make the bench against his old side.

Meanwhile, Brazilian midfield duo Willian and Ramires - who both came on and scored in the 2-2 draw against Newcastle at the weekend - were named in the starting side, as was striker Diego Costa, currently serving a domestic suspension.

But it was in defence that the Blues looked to have the biggest problems when the Portuguese league leaders went ahead six minutes before half-time. Full-back Branislav Ivanovic's problematic season continued when he was too easily beaten by Algerian Brahimi in the lead-up to Andre's goal.

Mourinho described his side's first-half performance against the Magpies as "minus one out of 10" and this tie looked to be heading the same away until Willian levelled with a curling free-kick.

Chelsea have conceded the second most goals (14) in the Premier League this season, and Jolen Lopetegui's Porto underlined the London club's problems at the back as Maicon lost his marker to reach a near-post corner and head past Begovic's front post. Danilo also hit the post from another set piece.

Mourinho magic wearing off?

Toiling in 15th place in the defence of their Premier League title, eight points behind leaders Manchester United, Mourinho's side have now suffered five defeats in 11 games across all competitions this season.

The Portuguese manager has had disagreements with the media and differences with his coaching staff as his team have stuttered so far domestically, and Mourinho's troubles appeared to have poured over into Europe.

Mourinho's side easily defeated Maccabi Tel Aviv 4-0 in their opening group game and Chelsea might have taken a point from a hardworking Porto side.

But they saw efforts either hit the woodwork or deflected wide, while Marcano appeared to handle the ball in the area, as Mourinho, who has won the competition with Porto and Inter Milan, saw his team defeated at his former club.

Man of the match - Yacine Brahimi

Algerian midfielder Yacine Brahimi gave Blues full-back Branislav Ivanovic a torrid evening with his pace and trickery. In defence, he also won the ball back nine times, the joint-most of any Porto player

'Two ridiculous moments cost us'

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho: "We watch dozens and dozens of repetitions of Porto taking corners. We were completely ready for that and in a moment when the game is under control we concede a goal that is ridiculous.

"They hit the post from a similar mistake. Apart from that, the game was balanced. Two ridiculous moments and we were punished."

Porto coach Julen Lopetegui: "The players attitude was amazing, spectacular. It was our best performance of the season. I have to congratulate my team. This three points are totally deserved. It was tough and unfair to go to the dressing room at half-time with a draw, but we reacted well."

The stats you need to know

  • Chelsea have lost more games this season (5) than in the whole of last season
  • The Blues suffered their first defeat in 10 European matches against Portuguese opposition, with their last defeat also against Porto
  • Mourinho's side have conceded 18 goals this season - last season, they conceded their 18th goal on 10 December
  • Midfielder Willian scored from a direct free-kick for the third game running
  • Porto have scored in each of their past 12 Champions League games

What next?

Chelsea face a tricky home game against Southampton on Saturday, while they come up against Dynamo Kiev in their third Group F game in the Champions League on 20 October.

David Ospina has yet to play in the Premier League for Arsenal this season

29 September 2015 Last updated at 22:24

Arsenal's hopes of Champions League progress are in serious jeopardy after they slumped to their second successive group stage loss at home to Olympiakos.

Arsene Wenger's side knew nothing other than victory would do after defeat by Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia in their opening game - and with two meetings with group favourites Bayern Munich still to come.

Instead it was a dreadful night for Arsenal, who must now become the first team since Galatasaray in 2012-13 to lose their first two group games and still reach the knockout stage.

The Gunners' display was summed up by the wretched first-half own goal conceded by David Ospina - preferred to Petr Cech in goal - when he dropped Kostas Fortounis's corner into his own net after Theo Walcott equalised Felipe Pardo's deflected shot.

Alexis Sanchez gave Arsenal hope with a 65th-minute header only for Alfred Finnbogason to restore Olympiakos's lead within a minute.

The heat map above shows the attacking half of both teams in the second half. Arsenal (left) had most of the play in the final third while Olympiakos (right) rarely ventured forward

Wenger's keeper calamity

When Arsene Wenger persuaded Chelsea to sell them goalkeeper Petr Cech, the theory behind his arrival was that the 33-year-old's experience, wisdom and acquaintance with success would make the difference in the big games.

So what sense did it make for Wenger to leave Cech on the bench and select his deputy Ospina for a game where Arsenal simply could not risk any mistakes or the concession of cheap goals?

Forget talk about any slight injury to Cech. He was fit enough to take his place on the bench so surely fit enough to start a game of this significance.

Fate was tempted - and could not resist as the hapless Colombian dropped a harmless corner from Fortounis into his own net just before half-time after Walcott had brought Arsenal back into it with an equaliser.

Wenger's decision was laced with high-risk - and in the context of Arsenal's hopes of making progress in the Champions League a risk not worth taking, as well as a serious error of judgement.

Will Arsenal ever learn?

Arsenal's defensive naivety was best encapsulated by the manner they went out to a very average Monaco side in the last 16 of last season's Champions League.

The Gunners pulled a goal back to make the score 2-1 in injury time in the first leg - then promptly rushed forward like lemmings in search of an equaliser, only to concede the decisive third goal that effectively put them out.

The question now is will they ever learn? Will they ever cure the defensive frailty and general vulnerability that leaves them exposed at this level?

Arsenal were victims of a deflection and a crass goalkeeping error for Olympiakos's first two goals - but the soft underbelly was on show again for the third, so easily unpicked as Finnbogason steered in the winner.

They simply did not show the maturity or composure to settle themselves. And if they cannot do that by now you have to wonder when they ever will.

Sanchez and Walcott only bright sparks

Amid a night of unrelenting gloom, the only shafts of light for Arsenal and their supporters were Walcott and Sanchez.

The Englishman continued his development as a striker with another goal, his second in successive Champions League games after scoring his 12th in 13 Premier League matches at Leicester City on Saturday.

Sanchez scored a hat-trick at Leicester and he was lively throughout, heading the second equaliser only to see Olympiakos score their third almost immediately.

In reality, this is to clutch at straws because this was a desperate Arsenal display elsewhere.

Man of the match: Alexis Sanchez

The Chilean was tireless, dangerous and deserved the goal he scored in the second half

Manager reaction

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger: "It is still possible of course to qualify but it is difficult to swallow losing a game like that. We lost it on a lack of defensive concentration and bad luck. They had four shots on goal and we conceded three goals.

"The turning point at 2-2 is we give them a goal again straight away. If it stays 2-2 for five minutes we win the game.

"A goalkeeper can make a mistake - that doesn't explain that we lose the game. It happened to Petr Cech already this season [against West Ham]."

The stats you need to know

  • Olympiakos had lost their previous 12 away games against English teams in European competition, scoring only three goals and conceding 37
  • Arsenal have lost six of their last 12 Champions League home games
  • The Gunners have been knocked out at the last-16 stage in the last five campaigns
  • Arsenal have lost their first two Champions League matches for the first time
  • The last team to qualify from the Champions League group stage after losing their first two matches was Galatasaray in 2012-13. Only nine have done it in the competition history.
  • Arsenal have qualified for the Champions League second stage in the past 15 seasons
  • Between 2003-04 and 2011-12, the most English defeats in a CL group stage was five, which we have already seen this season

What next?

Arsenal face the visit of Premier League leaders Manchester United on Sunday. In the Champions League their next two matches are against Bayern Munich.

'World Cup needs longer breaks'

Liam Williams and Dan Biggar receive treatment during Wales' World Cup 2015 match against England.

Liam Williams will miss Wales' game with Fiji after suffering concussion against England

29 September 2015 Last updated at 15:05

Rugby World Cup: Wales v Fiji

Venue: Millennium Stadium, Cardiff Date: Thursday, 1 October Kick-off: 16:45 BST

Coverage: Live on BBC Radio 5 live and sports extra, BBC local radio, plus live text commentary on every match on the BBC Sport website.

Further coverage: BBC Radio Wales and BBC Radio Cymru

World Cup organisers should address the short turnaround between some matches, says Wales head coach Warren Gatland.

Wales face Fiji on Thursday having had only four days to recover from their bruising win against England.

Gatland will not use it as an excuse during this World Cup but believes it is an issue which needs to be addressed in the long term.

"It's something we all need to be aware of because it's a pretty brutal game at the moment," he said.

"It's important we consider and look after the welfare of our players as well.

"I'm not complaining about the short turnaround because we've known about that for a long time. We've had to prepare for that."

Wales are second in Pool A having beaten Uruguay and England in their opening two matches of the World Cup.

After playing Fiji at the Millennium Stadium, their final group game on 10 October is at Twickenham against current leaders Australia, who face England on Saturday.

Japan v Scotland in the 2015 Rugby World Cup

Japan had to play Scotland with three days recovery after beating South Africa

The short turnaround between fixtures has been an issue for other teams at the World Cup, with Japan given only three days' rest after their historic win against South Africa before they were soundly beaten by Scotland.

Gatland believes rugby's increasing physical impact means the sport's governing body, World Rugby, should consider extending the break between World Cup matches.

"We've still got guys who are battered and bruised this morning and we've got a game in two days," the New Zealander added.

"I don't know whether four or five-day turnarounds in World Cups are too short.

"When you're involved all the time you don't see the changes but the only gauge I have as a coach is my involvement with the Lions in 2009 (South Africa) and 2013 (Australia).

"South Africa is one of the most physical countries to go and play and then, from South Africa to Australia, the step-up in physicality and intensity increased massively."

Gilbert Arenas -- I Busted My Ex Blabbing About Me ... See Ya in Court, Laura Govan!

breaking news

0929-laura-govan-gilbert-arenas-TMZ_02Gilbert Arenas caught Laura Govan red-handed leaking their email exchange to a blogger -- and now he's calling her out in front of a judge ... according to court docs.

In the docs filed by the ex-NBA star, he says he has text messages between Laura and the blogger, who last week published details from the emails ... which included allegations of infidelity and domestic violence.

Arenas says Laura violated a court order -- just signed in August -- to keep her mouth shut about him ... when she leaked the email. Specifically, the court order says Laura cannot make "derogatory or disparaging remarks" about Gilbert.

Arenas also accuses Govan of leaking a letter his attorney sent to hers, screwing up their visitation agreement and violating the rules for exchanging their 4 kids.

Gilbert blowing the whistle on Laura could potentially change their current custody arrangement, if a judge agrees she blabbed.

'Vanderpump Rules' Star Jax Taylor -- Sues Shoe Company ... You Owe Me Big For Wearing Your Kicks

0929-jax-taylor-tmz-01Jax Taylor is in a legal battle with a shoe company he claims agreed to pay him to wear its gear, and now he's taking them to court. 

According to legal docs ... the "Vanderpump Rules" star reached an agreement with XCALIBUR SHOES in 2014. The agreement says in exchange for endorsing the shoes, Jax would receive $20 for each pair sold in his collection. He would also be given 10% of the total net sales he generated. 

However, according to Jax, XCAL has gone sour on their end of the deal -- failing to pay him at least $25,000. He also says the bum deal has made it hard for him to find similar work ... since XCAL's competitors won't want to work with him now.

A rep for XCALIBUR had no comment.

Featurette for Justin Kurzel's 'Macbeth' Starring Michael Fassbender

Featurette for Justin Kurzel's 'Macbeth' Starring Michael Fassbender

Macbeth Featurette

"I had to find something that was a personal connection to me…" Film4 has debuted a new featurette for Justin Kurzel's Macbeth, the latest take on a Shakespeare play, this time starring Michael Fassbender as Macbeth and Marion Cotillard as Lady Macbeth. The featurette is not so much a behind-the-scenes look as it is a discussion with the cast and filmmaker behind the film, and the decisions made regarding the characters and how they'd play them in this film. It also spends plenty of time with director Justin Kurzel, who is currently in production on Assassin's Creed with Fassbender, discussion various ideas behind how they wanted to set up and pull this off. I'm still very much looking forward to seeing this Shakespeare movie.

Here's the new interview featurette (+ new posters) for Justin Kurzel's Macbeth, direct from YouTube:

You can also still watch the official US trailer for Kurzel's Macbeth here, along with other previous trailers.

Macbeth is directed by Justin Kurzel (The Turning, The Snowtown Murders) and written by Todd Louiso (Hello I Must Be Going, Love Liza, The Marc Pease Experience), based on William Shakespeare's classic play of the same name. Set in the 11th century and using Shakespeare's original dialogue, the film follows General Macbeth (Michael Fassbender), whose ambitious wife (Marion Cotillard) urges him to use wicked means in order to gain power of the throne over the sitting king. Kurzel's Macbeth recently premiered as one of the films In-Competition at this year's Cannes Film Festival. The Weinstein Company will be releasing the film in the US. Kurzel's Macbeth opens in the UK this October, then in the US starting on December 4th.
