SPORTS 14 MILLWALL snatched a late 1-1 draw at already relegated Leicester yesterday to move back into the Championship’s automatic promotion places but missed the chance to put pressure on Ipswich. Substitute Macaulay Langstaff’s first goal since February cancelled out a Foxes opener from Harry Souttar, who was playing his first game since rupturing an Achilles 16 months ago. It moved Alex Neil’s visitors up to second, a point ahead of Ipswich, but the Tractor Boys now have two games in hand. “There is disappointment in the changing

WBA said they disagreed with the panel’s findings and insisted the club were compliant with the league’s profitability and sustainability rules. “The decision does not state the amount by which the club is said to have exceeded the upper loss threshold,” the statement said. “West Bromwich Albion has not been informed of the quantum of the breach, save that this is less than £2 million (RM10.7m). This is therefore the smallest ever breach of the P&S rules across the EFL Championship and the Premier League.” West Brom’s accounts were submitted to the Football League in December, but they were not charged until the end of March.

Albion were charged with exceeding the £39 million (RM209m) loss limit for the three-year period up to the end of the 2024/25 season. The club denied the charges but dur ing a two-day hearing, an independent financial review panel found Albion’s losses “did exceed the upper loss thresh old”.

There will always be frustration for the fact that I think when you get a point and haven’t played well, you can be quite content, but we feel we played well and had enough opportunities to make a dif ference and to score, and we didn’t take them. “Depending on what happens in the next couple of games will determine how important or not important that point will be.

CHELSEA INTERIM boss Calum McFarlane said yesterday there was still “a lot of belief” the Blues could turn their season around after a slump that resulted in the dramatic dismissal of Liam Rosenior. The Stamford Bridge club take on Leeds in an FA Cup semifinal today (10pm Malaysian time), desperate to salvage some pride following five straight Premier League defeats with out a single goal scored. A 3-0 hammering by Brighton on Wednesday was the final straw for club bosses, who ended Rosenior’s unhappy reign after just 106 days. First-team coach McFarlane, who also led Chelsea briefly following the departure of Enzo Maresca in January, spoke to reporters on Friday for the first time since Rosenior’s departure. Minutes before he appeared, Chelsea’s home page had a picture of the former boss with a message that read “Watch Liam Rosenior’s press con ference live!” before it was updated. McFarlane, a former under-21s coach at Chelsea, was grilled on what had gone wrong at the club, where a rift had reportedly opened up between Rosenior and his players. He was asked whether it was a “fair assumption” that the players were not

playing for the management and quizzed on how he would address the issue. “Who’s to say? It’s not anything I would comment on,” he said, adding that there had been no clear-the-air meeting. But the Englishman said despite seven defeats in eight matches, he was confident Chelsea could save their sea son. “I know it’s been tough recently, but we’ve had some good games this year, good performances against top sides in recent history,” he said. “So there’s a lot of talent. Some of those players in there are some of the best players in the world for their posi tion. So there’s still a belief within us. We can turn this around and get our season back on track.” McFarlane said Brazilian winger Estevao would be out for the rest of the English season and that he was unsure whether he would be fit for the World Cup, which starts in June. “Estevao, unfortunately, won’t play for us this season,” he said. “He’s going to be out for a little bit of time. “So, that’s really unfortunate, espe cially for someone so young and so tal ented, but we’re here to support him and be around him.” – AFP
