Mitch Duke netted his first goal for his new Japanese club Machida Zelvia as they defeated Fujieda 1-0 in the Japanese J2 League on Sunday.

Harry Souttar played a full game as Leicester City’s relegation concerns worsened with a 2-1 loss at Crystal Palace in the English Prmeier League on Saturday.

“He was booked for a piece of weak defending, was lucky not to concede a penalty, and then let Mateta spin him for the last-minute winner.”
