President Donald Trump Has Begun A Three-State Campaign Blitz After Voting Early In Florida.

He is holding rallies in North Carolina, Ohio and Wisconsin on Saturday as he seeks to make up ground against his Democratic challenger Joe Biden. Mr Biden, who holds a steady lead in national polls, is campaigning in Pennsylvania, another key state. Some 57 million votes have already been cast, a record spurred by the pandemic. The Republican president has continued to hold packed rallies despite a new surge in coronavirus infections that is particularly affecting the Midwest - home to several electoral battlegrounds. Speaking in Lumberton, North Carolina on Saturday, Mr Trump said America's coronavirus pandemic had been blown out of proportion and mocked his Democratic rival for making ominous warnings about a bleak winter. In contrast, Mr Biden held a drive-in rally in Bristol, Pennsylvania where he told supporters: "We don't want to become superspreaders." With just 10 days to go until the November 3 election, Joe Biden holds an average eight-point lead in n

Chelsea Manager Frank Lampard Was Complaining His Team Should Have Been Awarded A Penalty For A First-Half Foul On Cesar Azpilicueta In Saturday's Goalless Draw Att Manchester United.

Blues captain Azpilicueta was hauled to the ground by United skipper Harry Maguire, whose left arm was wrapped tightly around the Spaniard's neck. The incident was reviewed by VAR, but Maguire and United escaped punishment. "I thought it was a clear penalty," Lampard said. "Holding is allowed, but headlocks aren't. "Obviously I didn't see it at the time from where I'm standing. They are hard calls for referees on the pitch, but the VAR was very quick to dismiss it in my opinion. "I think they should have taken time and advised the referee to watch the monitor. If the referee goes to the monitor, he gives a penalty." United, who remain stuck in the bottom half of the table, were at least able to avoid losing a third straight home league game at the start of the season for the first time since 1930. In addition, they can also point to three good saves from Edouard Mendy, two to deny Marcus Rashford, including one in the final minute, an

The Boss Of Barcelona Coach Ronald Koeman Says The Video Assistant Referee System Seems To Be "Only Used To Make Decisions Against Barca" After Sergio Ramos' Penalty Helped Real Madrid Win El Clasico.

Federico Valverde smashed Real, who had lost their previous two games, into the lead from Karim Benzema's pass. Barcelona's Ansu Fati, 17, levelled from Jordi Alba's cross, becoming the youngest scorer in El Clasico history. Ramos scored from the spot and Luka Modric smashed in a late third. The turning point was a lengthy VAR decision for the Ramos penalty. Referee Juan Martínez Munuera did not spot Clement Lenglet's pull on Ramos' shirt but eventually gave a penalty after viewing it on the screen. Barca had two penalty appeals turned down - for a Raphael Varane challenge on Lionel Messi and a possible Varane handball. "I don't understand VAR, I think it is only used to make decisions against Barca," said Koeman, whose side have only picked up seven points from five games. "You always get shirt tugs like that in the area and I think Ramos makes a foul on Lenglet first. There's a tug of the shirt, but not enough to make him fall behind a
