Relive the top stops from Week 13 of the 2018-19 Premier League season, including a fingertip save from Southampton's Alex McCarthy against Fulham.
Aleksandar Mitrovic scored twice for Fulham to earn Claudio Ranieri a debut win over Southampton and their under-pressure manager, Mark Hughes.
Joachim Low expects Germany to bounce back after their World Cup disappointment and relegation from their group in the UEFA Nations League.
Fulham forward Andre Schurrle has suggested that the German national team's struggles might continue for years to come just as Spain had problems after winning the World Cup in 2010.
Germany suffered a turbulent 2018, which included elimination at the group stage of the World Cup, Mesut Ozil withdrawing from international football citing racism and relegation from their Nations League group after finishing behind France and the Netherlands.
Schurrle viewed much of this from the outside -- the forward was not picked in the World Cup squad and hasn't subsequently been selected by Joachim Low -- but compared the side's fight to rediscover their 2014 World Cup winning peak with Spain's similar process of transition, and warned it could take a long time.
"Seeing the team losing like this and going out at the group stage was not easy," Schurrle said. "Even if you are not selected, you still support your country.

Jose Mourinho's Last Stand
Deliberate isolation. Petty feuds. Constant turmoil. The Manchester United manager wouldn't have it any other way, writes Sam Borden.
Kylian Mbappe and the curse of the World Cup
Is there such a thing as peaking too early? Given all that Kylian Mbappe, just 19, has accomplished, we might soon find out.
"I wanted them to win because I know all of the guys and how much work they put in and how good they can be. Now is the time in Germany to have a transition. It will take time.
"You saw Spain after their three titles and they are still in transition mode because they didn't find this team to be at the best. It's going to be the same with Germany."
Schurrle, on loan at Fulham from Borussia Dortmund, was cagey when discussing Ozil. The Arsenal playmaker stepped away from the national team in July, shortly after the World Cup exit, when he said that he would "no longer be playing for Germany at international level whilst I have this feeling of racism and disrespect."
Ozil pointed to his treatment at the hands of the German football community and the wider public, after he and Ilkay Gundogan met Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan in May, for which both were strongly criticised. Ozil stated that this was simply the latest example of discrimination against him since he chose to represent the country of his birth in 2006, rather than his parents' home country of Turkey.
"No, I haven't spoken to him [since the announcement]," Schurrle said. "It was a huge discussion in Germany about his exit.
"I wasn't there so I cannot say what really happened or what the situation was. Obviously he was a main person in the national team for so many years. To have him out of the team is not nice."
Schurrle is on loan at Craven Cottage after a difficult couple of years at Dortmund, who had paid Wolfsburg €30 million for his services in 2016.
Fulham forward Andre Schurrle believes the German national team's problems will not be solved in the near future.
"It was maybe not that much on my shoulders," Schurrle said, when asked about that pricetag. "But everybody looked at me that way, the media and the fans as well: 'OK they paid €30m for this guy, let's see what he can do.'
"The media was not really on my side, the fans as well because they wanted to get more out of me, because I cost that much. For me now it's completely different.
"I come to Fulham on loan, they haven't paid anything for me. I'm just here to play football and they see that I want to give everything. I get the feeling that they give me something so that I can be at my best.
"They don't think: 'OK, he cost this much, or he cost that much, he needs to score more goals or something.' That's a little bit easier for me, for sure."
