Everton have ended their three-game losing streak at home in the EPL, with a 1-0 win over Southampton this morning.

Richarlison put the hosts ahead after just nine minutes with his fifth goal in as many games.

It moves the Toffees to within two points of the top four…and keeps their European ambitions on track.

Over in Spain, Real Madrid missed the chance to move up to second, after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Real Sociedad.

AC Milan’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic is set to miss his side’s Europa League last-16 tie against his former club Manchester United later this month.

The striker has been ruled out for up to three weeks with a thigh injury.

Sources at the San Siro, however, say there is still a slim chance Ibrahimovic could recover in time for the second leg on the 18^th.

Liverpool’s Mo Salah could miss the start of the next EPL season after he was named as part of Egypt’s preliminary squad for the Tokyo Olympics.

The Egyptians are very keen to have the striker as one of their three over-aged players at the Games, but have yet to officially approach the Reds about the matter.
