Iran nuclear deal: Khamenei denounces
Trump's ‘rants and whoppers’

The supreme leader of Iran has defended
the 2015 nuclear deal and used strong
language to accuse US President Donald
Trump of ranting and lying.
"I don't want to waste time on
answering the rants and whoppers of the
brute US president," Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei said.
Mr Trump has refused to certify to the US
Congress that Iran is complying with the
terms of the deal.
He has threatened to terminate the
Obama-era agreement altogether.
The American leader called for the deal to
be amended to prevent Iran from
developing nuclear weapons or
intercontinental ballistic missiles.
Ayatollah Khamenei said he welcomed
expressions of support for the accord
from European states but if the US tore
up the deal, Iran would "shred it to bits".

President Trump also accused Iran of
"destabilising activities" in Syria, Yemen
and Iraq, and imposed sanctions on the
powerful Islamic Revolution Guards
Corps.
Congress must now decide whether to
reimpose some economic sanctions that
were lifted as part of the nuclear deal in
return for Iran limiting sensitive nuclear
activities. If that were to happen, the US
would in effect be in violation of the
terms.
Iran says it has the right to nuclear
energy and insists its nuclear programme
is for peaceful purposes only.
On Wednesday, an Twitter account
attributed to Ayatollah Khamenei quoted
him as telling students in Tehran that it
was a "waste of time for anyone to
answer" Mr Trump.

Barcelona’s record 105 million-euro ($
125 million) signing Ousmane Dembele will
undergo surgery today on the torn
hamstring which rules him out of action
for approximately four months in Helsinki.
Be a part of this
“Dembele travelled on Monday morning
to Helsinki, Finland, where he will undergo
surgery to repair a rupture of the biceps
femoris tendon in his left thigh,”
Barcelona said in a statement on Monday.
“Dembele was accompanied by team
physician, Dr. Ricard Pruna. Dembele will be
operated on Tuesday (today) by Dr. Sakari
Orava.”
The French international has made just
three appearances for Barca since sealing
his move from Borussia Dortmund last
month was pictured on a wheelchair as he
left Barcelona airport for the Finnish
capital.

However, he looks set to miss the rest of
the year after pulling his hamstring just 29
minutes into Saturday’s 2-1 win at
Getafe.
He will be sidelined for the rest of Barca’s
Champions League group campaign and
faces a race against time to take part in the
first El Clasico of the season against Real
Madrid on December 23.
At international level, Dembele will also be
absent for France’s final two World Cup
qualifiers away to Bulgaria and at home to
Belarus next month.

"We must realise we had three important

'Ozil back to his best'
Everton 2-5 Arsenal
Arsenal
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger told Sky
Sports: "We should have been 2-0 or 3-0
up, but we were 1-0 down. We didn't panic
and maintained our focus. Once we
equalised, it was all us for the rest of the
game.
"I was [concerned] because recently we've
been punished for every mistake we make
away from home. But I knew there was a
long time to go.
"Our away performances this season have
not been rewarded."
Is Mesut Ozil back to his best?
"I would say yes. I told him after the game
that a fit Ozil is completely different. If
you're not 100% at your best, no matter
how good you are, you are at a handicap."

Maybe, just maybe, signing the keeper
who conceded the most goals in the PL
last season; a centre mid who had
previously failed to make the step up
at Spurs and an unproven player from
the Dutch League for a total £100
million wasn't the best idea?
James, Salford
I don't think we were even this bad
under Walter Smith. To have spent
£140m and be in the relegation zone is
unforgivable. Koeman must go.

Ronald Koeman says he is 'very

Full reaction to come.

'No balance, no shape. It has to change'
Everton 2-5 Arsenal
Steve Claridge
Ex-Leicester striker, BBC Radio 5 live at
Goodison Park
On this evidence Everton are in real, real
trouble. There were very few redeeming
features about their play. There is no belief
in what they are doing and they are not
good enough to play like that.
There is no reaction to what is going on.
The fans have just given up reacting.
Apathy is too strong a word but they look
like they've had the guts knocked out of
them.
I don't expect Everton to change the world
but I do expect to pick elements where I
can see what Koeman is trying to do or
why he has recruited that player. There
was none of that today. The best they
could do is get men behind the ball. No
balance, no shape, the system didn't suit
the players and there was no quality.
Arsenal had five and it could have been a
lot more on the weight of Arsenal chances.
Before the game, Claridge said Koeman
should be shown patience. Asked if he has
now changed his mind: Yes, yes I have.
I am not advocating people leave their job
but something has to change quickly.

'Ozil was crucial today'
Everton 2-5 Arsenal
Arsenal
Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker speaking
to Sky Sports: "We started really well, to go
1-0 behind was difficult, but we stuck to
our game plan and created a lot of chances
in the first half that we did not execute. In
the second-half we executed better, our
guys on top did it, it was crucial to have
Mesut Ozil today.
"We knew Everton were under pressure
and we took advantage. We don't need
anyone to judge what we do, the only
answer you can give is on the pitch.The
way we handled the situation away from
home was magnificent."

Arsenal goalscorer Mesut Ozil told Sky

We knew it would be difficult but we

On the fact it was the first time Ozil, Alexis
Sanchez and Alexandre Lacazette all
started...
"In training we always show our quality
together. Today you saw on the pitch. We
showed our quality and all scored."

Poch wants trophies
Tottenham v Liverpool (16:00 BST)
Alistair Bruce-Ball
BBC Radio 5 live
Bold words from the Spurs boss Mauricio
Pochettino in the programme today as he
talks about building on his team's excellent
performance in Madrid on Tuesday.
"We are ambitious and have wider
objectives, first to qualify from the group
and then to keep improving to win things,
both in Europe and domestically."
Tottenham's last major trophy was the
League Cup in 2008, their last league title
over 50 years ago back in 1961 and
catching Manchester City this season looks
like a very difficult task, but there's
certainly confidence in the camp that
they're on the right path.

'Everton are in trouble'

Ex-Leicester striker, BBC Radio 5 live at

Out of 10? I would give Everton three. I
didn't understand what he was trying to
do. There are kids out there not ready,
players out of position. It can't go on.
We are sat here among some of the most
passionate fans in the country and they
look like they've been kicked in the
stomach. It looks like everyone has had
enough. I am struggling to think if I have
seen a worse Premier League side this
season. I think they are in trouble.

OK, enough is enough. Koeman has to
go. Whatever his plan is....nobody else
has any idea of what it might be.
Decent players but a clueless leader.

Please sack him. Please. I know that it
won’t solve everything but I really
can’t see how we’ll improve under
Koeman. .

Nketiah first player born after Wenger
arrival to score for Arsenal
Teenager Eddie Nketiah came off the bench
to score a brace for Arsenal against
Norwich City in the EFL Cup.
Eddie Nketiah had quite the impact in the
EFL Cup, becoming the first player born
after Arsene Wenger was appointed
Arsenal manager to score for the club.
With Wenger's men facing a shock exit,
Nketiah, 18, came off the bench to tap in
an 85th-minute equaliser against Norwich
City at Emirates Stadium.
The teenager headed in a second in extra
time to give Arsenal a 2-1 lead in the
fourth-round clash.
Nketiah was born in May 1999, almost
three years after Wenger was appointed
Arsenal manager, with the Frenchman
having led the club to three Premier League
titles and seven FA Cups.
