Manchester United 0 – 0 PSV Eindhoven [Champions League] Highlights 2015/16

By -

Jesse Lingard spurned the home side’s best chance of the night and, with PSV expected to beat CSKA Moscow in a fortnight, the Red Devils will need to win away to Wolfsburg



Manchester United’s hopes of reaching the Champions League knockout stages were severely dented by a goalless draw with PSV at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils headed into their penultimate Group B fixture knowing three points would secure a last-16 spot, yet now likely need a win away to leaders Wolfsburg on December 8 to progress following Wednesday’s disappointing stalemate.
Louis van Gaal, perhaps keen to avoid heading to Germany requiring a victory, named an attacking United line-up featuring former PSV star Memphis Depay, Wayne Rooney, Jesse Lingard and Anthony Martial in a four-man attack.
The quartet’s fluidity caused plenty of problems for PSV early on, although the home side failed to break the deadlock in the first half as Martial missed two good opportunities.
United’s frustration only mounted in the early part of the second period as they struggled against the Eredivisie outfit’s resolute backline.
And the visitors’ resilience paid dividends, with a point meaning PSV will progress if they overcome CSKA Moscow at home and Van Gaal’s men fail to beat Wolfsburg.

Fashola is a conspirator in the threat to life of Igbos - Lagos PDP says, demands Oba's suspension

PDP in Lagos state says that the 48-hour silence of Governor Fashola since the Oba of Lagos made death threats to Igbos indicates that not only is Fashola in agreement with what the Oba said, but that the Oba spoke on behalf of the state government. In a statement released today, the party demanded for the suspension of the Oba until after the elections. The statement reads in part; "The governor is thus a conspirator in this threat to life and must also be held accountable for any violence in this elections. We have at this point been vindicated about the desperation of the APC to retain Lagos state at all cost including the All Progressives Congress’ plan not to concede the imminent defeat on April 11. The positions of the PDP are coming on the heels of the now viral threat issued by the Oba of Lagos to Igbos that they must vote for the APC Governorship Candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode, or be drowned in Lagos water."
