I can't believe Everton lost to Burnley- Koeman


Everton manager Ronald Koeman lamented his side's "unfair" defeat at Burnley after Scott Arfield's late strike sealed a 2-1 win for Sean Dyche's men at Turf Moor.

Arfield struck in the closing stages of Saturday's Premier League encounter, with Everton having looked the most likely to score throughout the duration of the second-half after Yannick Bolasie's first goal for the club had cancelled out Sam Vokes' first-half opener.

But it was not to be for Everton, who are now without a win in their last four league games.

"We are very disappointed, the feeling is that we should win," the Dutchman told BBC Sport.  "We did many good things but the result is hard to take.

"It's one of those days where you can't believe you lost the game, but it's football. It's hard to take but sometimes football is unfair – they had one shot and we did not deserve to lose.

"We started well but dropped back and then the goal was unlucky. But we had a good reaction, and had some good chances in the second half.

"You can always do things better and we must work hard and improve, but it's difficult against a side with good defensive organisation. We scored though and then you expect at least one point.

"I don't say that we need to win because you have to deserve to score, but we have come back with no points."

A disproportionately large number of women and children were killed in the attack because it targeted henna night, a part of the celebration attended mainly by women and children. Turkish officials said the type of bomb used, which contained scraps of metal, was similar to those used in previous attacks on pro-Kurdish gatherings. ...

IMMUNITY BILL: A MISPLACED PRIORITY

Certainly, it is not a matter of conjecture to say that the undue interference and unpalatably flagrant disregard to separation of power by the executive tier of government has raised more questions than answers on the integrity of this government and the commitment of the leadership to truly push for the genuine change in line with democratic norms all over the world.   Fatunde Bamidele Samuel (VEGA) writes from lagos. Recently, the society was encapsulated with shocking news of pension bill for the National Assembly members. However, the bill was dead on arrival. This is nothing but another heinous attempt to permanently ground the country that is already suffering from the bloodsucking bedbugs (NASS) and former governors pensions. These are almost sucking the finances of this country dry; if and only if we could act fast to salvage it then we can only hope the existence of Nigeria will not be history. The recent exploit of the National Assembly is evi...
