Racing in Tramore off due to Storm Barra
SOCCER
Everton have ended a run of 8 games without a win.
The Toffees beat Arsenal 2-1 in the Premier League at Goodison Park last night.
Demarai Gray scored the winner in stoppage time to ease the pressure on manager Rafael Benitez.
Everton are now 12th in the table, moving 8 points away from the relegation zone.
Republic of Ireland and Toffees captain Seamus Coleman says it's important to keep the faith:
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was unhappy with his side's performance:
Liverpool and Manchester City have already qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League and both clubs play their final Group games this evening.
City are away to RB Leipzig from 5.45pm, while the Reds are in Italy to face AC Milan from 8pm.
Midfielder Kevin de Bruyne will start for City after missing four games due to Covid-19.
