• Al-Nassr 1-2 Al-Qadsiah: Aubameyang winner ends hosts' unbeaten run

  Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang hit the winner as Al-Qadsiah inflicted a 2-1 defeat on Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League on Friday to end their 21-match unbeaten run. 

  Cristiano Ronaldo's seventh league goal of the season put Al-Nassr ahead, but Al-Qadsiah replied swiftly through Julian Quinones before Aubameyang struck the decisive blow.

  The hosts drew first blood in the 32nd minute when Ronaldo slotted home after Al-Qadsiah goalkeeper Koen Casteels had spilled a routine catch from Talisca's cross.

  However, Al-Nassr's joy was short-lived when Quinones brought down Turki Al Ammar's delivery five minutes later, with the Mexcio winger firing past Bento to level the scores.

  Quinones also played a part in the winning goal after brilliantly turning the ball back across goal from Nahitan Nandez's search pass to tee up a simple finish for Aubameyang. 

  The result sees Al-Qadsiah move level on 22 points with third-placed Al-Nassr, with Al-Shabab also level with them.

  Stefano Pioli's Al-Nassr are six points adrift of defending champions and leaders Al-Hilal, who also have a game in hand. 

• Arsenal handed another injury blow as White ruled out for 'months'

  Mikel Arteta confirmed that Arsenal defender Ben White is facing "months" on the sidelines after sustaining a knee injury. 

  White had been dealing with several issues all season and has missed five games in all competitions for the Gunners already this term. 

  After struggling through until the November international break, the decision was taken for him to undergo surgery in order to finally address the ongoing problems.

  It serves as a bitter blow for Arteta, with only Thomas Parety (13) making more interceptions than White (11) for Arsenal in the Premier League this campaign. 

  Though Arteta confirmed that the surgery was successful, White is set for a lengthy spell out of the team. 

  "It has been different kinds of struggles. It has never been the same thing, but we had to make a decision. He has not improved over the last few weeks, unfortunately," said Arteta.

  "We know that Ben is going to push every boundary, but it got to the point where we have to protect the player and we decided to do the surgery.

  "He agreed with that and it is going to keep him out for a few months."

  Asked for a specific time frame, Arteta added: "We have to see how he reacts post-surgery. I don't expect it to be half a year, but I cannot tell you exactly."

  It offers a concern for Arteta in the full-back area, with the Spaniard also revealing on Friday that Takehiro Tomiyasu is "going to be out as well for a bit".

  There was, however, some positive injury news for the Gunners ahead of welcoming Nottingham Forest to the Emirates on Saturday. 

  After not featuring for England during the international break, Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice are expected to be fit to feature against Nuno Espirito Santo's side. 

  Leandro Trossard will also be available for Arteta despite picking up a hamstring injury during the international break with Belgium.

  Defender Riccardo Calafiori is also in contention for Saturday's game after a month out with a knee problem. 

• 'Right guy at the right time' - Amorim confident of changing Man Utd's fortunes

  Ruben Amorim believes he is the "right guy at the right time" to turn Manchester United's fortunes around.

  The 39-year-old signed a two-and-a-half-year deal earlier this month to keep him at Old Trafford until June 2027, replacing Erik ten Hag after he was sacked in October.

  Amorim is the sixth permanent United manager since Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, having left Sporting CP to take charge during the international break.

  He won two Primeira Liga titles as Sporting head coach as well as two Taca da Liga trophies, while he led the club to a perfect start in the league this season, winning all 11 of their games.

  United sit 13th in the Premier League table ahead of their trip to Ipswich Town on 15 points, though they are just four points behind Chelsea in third.

  Amorim recognised the size of the task ahead of him in Manchester but is confident he can make a change.

  "I'm a little bit of a dreamer and I believe in myself, and I believe in the club," he said during his first press conference.

  "I think we have the same idea, the same mindset and that can help.

  "I truly believe in the players; I know you don't believe a lot, but I do. I want to try new things. You guys don't think it's possible, I do.

  "Call me naive, but I believe I am the right guy at the right time. I truly believe I am the right guy."

  Aged 39 years and 302 days, Amorim will be the youngest to take charge of his first match for the Red Devils since Wilf McGuinness in August 1969 (31y 288d).

  United have won just four of their 11 league games so far this season, and have struggled in front of goal, netting just 12 times so far.

  Expected to implement his favoured 3-4-3 formation, Amorim admitted it would take time for the club to adapt and has asked for patience as the players get used to his tactics.

  "I know at Manchester United we have to win games. We need a lot of time because it's a tough league, we have to improve a lot to try to win the title," he added.

  "We have to change the physical aspect of the team. I don't know how long it will take."
