Manchester City defender Jason Denayer, who spent this season on loan at Sunderland, said he was reacting instinctively when he kicked a man in the head during a brawl in Belgium.
The 21-year-old's agent said Denayer "was in the wrong place at the wrong time".

We don't want to talk about the game. The game was boring. Manchester United won a totally predictable 2-0 affair and stifled the hell out of a fun, young Ajax team.
Fortunately, Ajax goalkeeper ANdre Onana and some BT Sport producers were on hand to inject some mirth into the procedings.

Barcelona's season has been a disappointment based on their lofty standards. They haven't won a major trophy yet, with the Copa Del Rey the only prize left for them to chase.
That said, it would be hard to be disappointed with Ronaldinho around. The jolly Brazilian showed up at Barcelona training yesterday to spread some good cheer and horse around with his buddies.
John Terry is not mad. This is funny to him. He's laughing, actually.
Terry arranged his own substitution in the 26th minute of Chelsea's final match of the season — the final match of Terry's Chelsea career — because he wanted to honor himself by having the fans honor him. Terry was made fun of for this frivolous situation (The other players formed an honor guard as he left the stadium! Really!), but he is not mad at all.
Let's see what Manchester City new boy Gabriel Jesus thinks of the Premier League now that he has had half a season to get acclimated to elite European football.
From ESPN:
"I thought it would be harder."
(takes deep sigh, looks up at sky, mumbles "God forgive me", crosses self)
That's what she said.
Leonardo Bonucci is a champion of Italy once again, but one member of his family isn't so thrilled: his son. Apparently one of Bonucci's boys is a fan of Juvenus's crosstown rival, Torino.
Go get a pint glass. Fill it up with white wine. Pour some out. Big Sam is leaving.
From his statement on Crystal Palace's website:
There’s still another round of matches to play in Serie A. Sure, Juventus have won the title. Sure, they printed some pretty cringe-worthy ‘LE6END’ merchandise and plastered it everywhere. Sure, Napoli and Roma seem set in their Champions League spots. Sure, every position in the league is seemingly sorted, bar Crotone and Empoli bickering about who gets to be the third worst team. Sure, the league is pretty much done and dusted. But we still have one round of fixtures left.
Alexis Sanchez figures to be one of the world's most targeted players in this summer's transfer window. The 28-year-old forward scored 29 goals in 50 appearances with Arsenal this campaign, and it was often clear that he was shouldering the load when the Gunners were struggling.
Alexis Sanchez for Arsenal in the Premier League 2016/17:
Most take-ons (109)
Most goals (24)
Most assists (10)
Most through balls (9)
The premeditated pomp and choreographed farewell that John Terry bid Chelsea supporters at Stamford Bridge on Sunday stood in stark contrast to Luis Enrique’s final match at the Camp Nou. While the feel-good factor in the southwest of London as compared to the tension-riddled atmosphere at the Camp Nou could go someway towards explaining these divergent going away parties, the real variation was really only in the respective men of honor.
