Barcelona teenager Ansu Fati scored twice to lead his side to a 2-1 win at home to Levante on Sunday, finding the net in a league game for the first time in more than four months and becoming the youngest player to net a La Liga double.

Fati, 17, latched on to a superb crossfield ball from Lionel Messi and fired between the legs of Levante goalkeeper Aitor Fernandez to give Barca a deserved lead on the half-hour mark.

The Guinea-Bissau-born forward promptly linked up with Messi again to double Barca's lead two minutes later, getting some good fortune as the ball bobbled through the legs of Fernandez and into the net.

Levante, who beat Barca 3-1 at home earlier this campaign, got a consolation goal in added time through Ruben Rochina and the forward had a chance to snatch an unlikely equaliser moments later but could not keep his shot under the bar.

The victory took second-placed Barcelona to within three points of leaders Real Madrid, who beat Atletico Madrid 1-0 in the city derby on Saturday.

Elsewhere, Getafe climbed into third place after winning 2-0 at Athletic Bilbao, leapfrogging Sevilla who could only draw 1-1 at home to Alaves.

"This is all a dream, I dreamed of moments like this and I want to thank my team mates and my coach for giving me another opportunity," Fati told reporters.

"It's not easy to come into a team like this as a young boy but I'm very grateful for the support I've had. I've still got a lot more to come, I like playing with Messi it's a dream to play alongside him, but I want to continue fighting for my place."

Fati wrote himself into Barca's history books last August by becoming the club's youngest ever league scorer with a goal against Osasuna while still aged 16, making the most of a spate of injuries afflicting the team's forward line.

He struck against Valencia a month later before drifting out of the team, although he made history again last December with a goal against Inter Milan that made him the youngest player to score in the Champions League.

Injuries to Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele have given the youngster another run in the team and this was his fourth start under coach Quique Setien, who pledged to give young academy players a chance when he succeeded Ernesto Valverde last month.

Fati certainly made the most of this opportunity, dovetailing superbly with Messi and showing confidence in front of goal in contrast to fellow forward Antoine Griezmann, who squandered two clear chances to score in the first half.

He was not far from scoring a hat-trick, attempting an audacious bicycle kick late in the game which fizzed narrowly wide of goal.

"He has huge potential but we have to remember he is a young lad," said Setien.

"We have to be patient with him and give him the confidence he needs to make the most of his talent. As well as the two goals, I appreciate the work he did in defence. He put out lots of fires for us."

After a lacklustre window transfer window, at least some of the weekend matches provided some drama. Here is what stuck with us:

JUMP TO: City losing Pep in their step? | Sunnier signs at Spurs | Yep, Liverpool are good | West Ham woes | Lampard's tough GK choice | Pearson effect gone? | Praising McNeil

United's transfer window bungling exposed again

Without wishing to go on about the transfer window now it has mercifully closed for a few months, Manchester United's performance against Wolves merely exposed again their lack of planning in recruitment. The excuse/explanation for their last-minute dash around assorted C-list forward targets was that Marcus Rashford's injury forced them into action, but that shouldn't have been the catalyst: really they needed another forward from the moment they knew Romelu Lukaku was going to leave last summer, a departure that made Anthony Martial their only senior centre-forward.

Martial was poor against Wolves, which is not proof that he is a poor player, but an inconsistent one. He should be an option, rather than the option. And United have known this since May, but it took them until the last hours of January to sign someone to help out in attack, so in that respect it perhaps wasn't a surprise that they had to settle for a 30-year-old who's been playing in China for three years, who they signed without conducting a medical.

The case for Odion Ighalo is that he is a 'proven' Premier League striker on a low-risk, six-month loan deal, but that ignores a couple of things. Firstly, United needed more than a "hey, we'll see how this goes and if it doesn't work, no harm, no foul" striker, they needed someone to replace Rashford's goals.

But it the 'proven' case doesn't really stack up either: Ighalo scored an ostensibly excellent 14 goals in his one full season in the Premier League for Watford, but 12 of those came before the turn of the year and in the first half of the following season before his move to China, he scored one and looked completely lost. You could just as easily make the argument that he just had a five-month purple patch, as you can that he's proven in England.

Expectations are now so low that Ighalo could be considered a success if he successfully runs onto the pitch without tripping over his bootlaces, but United need more than that, as the Wolves game displayed.

Are City suffering from 'Pep fatigue'?

Manchester City have now lost as many times in 25 games this season as they did in the previous two seasons combined. There are plenty of reasons for their fall away this season, but you wonder whether one of them is a sort of 'Pep fatigue', a team that has been working with Guardiola for so long and they're so regimented in their thinking and following of his doctrine, that all spontaneity and individual thought has been drummed out of them.

- How VAR has affected every Premier League club

That's a possible explanation for the chance that David Silva quite literally passed up against Manchester United in the Carabao Cup, and also a possible explanation for their profligacy against Tottenham on Sunday.

Perhaps they're just having a bad season, intimidated into submission by the merciless machine at Anfield, the sort of thing that can easily happen but they could recover from. But now that the Premier League is gone this season, it will be interesting to see how they respond next term.

Better times ahead for Tottenham?

It might seem a bit churlish to not offer credit to Jose Mourinho after beating the defending champions, but even the most one-eyed Tottenham fan will recognise that the 2-0 win over City was a bit of a mugging. It's hardly the sign of a tactical masterclass when you're relying on your opponents missing a penalty, spurning a clutch of extremely presentable chances and having a man sent off.

Still, there were a few more signs of what Mourinho is trying to do, there were some phenomenal individual performances (Davinson Sanchez was terrific), and of course a terrific debut goal by Steven Bergwijn.

The continued absence of Harry Kane with no natural centre-forward replacement could be pretty interesting, because it naturally forces Mourinho to play a different way. Previously, we've assumed that the 'different way' would just be to play as they did against Liverpool, but it could also lead to a more exciting and dynamic forward line: while there's obviously a difference in ability, in terms of profile a trio of Bergwijn, Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura is not a million miles away from Liverpool's Mane-Firmino-Salah trifecta. The results will not be as spectacular, but it's not unreasonable to think that the style could be comparable.

Liverpool, as it turns out, are good

NB: some of the following requires some jumps in logic, as well as mental and mathematical gymnastics. But it's becoming increasingly difficult to find ways of expressing how dominant Liverpool are, so bear with us.

Liverpool's 4-0 win over Southampton was, as you'll know by now, their 24th win of the season, meaning they have 73 points from 25 games and stretching back to last season have taken 101 points from the last available 103.

With two-thirds of the campaign gone, they already have more points than 18 of their previous 27 seasons (two of which were 42-game seasons), but it's also worth looking at their 18 previous title winning seasons. As 12 of those came in the era of two points for a win, and there were varying numbers of games in those seasons, it requires some number-crunching, but converting those seasons into three-points for a win, 38-game campaigns, they have essentially already gained more points so far this term than they did in four previous seasons when they won the league.

Going back to this season, they've got as many points as fifth and sixth place combined. If they win their next six games, they're guaranteed to be champions, and it could happen even sooner than that. Were it not for the winter break, there's a genuine chance they could've been champions in February.

They're good, is what we're saying.

No positives this time for West Ham

The vibe given off by David Moyes after West Ham's 2-0 defeat to Liverpool was one of "taking the positives", and not unreasonably: they had defended relatively well and forced Alisson into a couple of brilliant saves.

What positives could be taken from the 3-3 draw with Brighton, however, are less clear. Perhaps that they scored three times, but the edge does tend to get taken off a little when you go 2-0 then 3-1 up and still don't win.

West Ham have now taken two points from the last five games, are in the relegation zone and their next seven games are against Manchester City, Liverpool, Southampton, Arsenal, Wolves, Tottenham and Chelsea. They had better hope Jarrod Bowen takes to Premier League life extremely quickly.

Lampard backs himself into a corner

There probably shouldn't be quite so much of a taboo over dropping your goalkeeper on the grounds of form, but it does tend to create something of a commotion, particularly when the keeper you're dropping is the most expensive of all time.

And having taken that rather drastic step, a manager is rather relying on the replacement performing well, but on that score Frank Lampard was let down pretty emphatically by Willy Caballero against Leicester.

"I think...he'll be honest that there have been some mistakes that have cost us goals," said Lampard about Kepa Arrizabalaga's omission, but having said that he was placed in a tricky position when Caballero...made a mistake that cost Chelsea a goal. His brainless wandering meant he was out of position for Ben Chilwell's modest strike, an error far more basic than most that Arrizabalaga has made, meaning that for Chelsea's next game Lampard is in an interesting position: does recall a goalkeeper that he's said has made some costly errors over a period of time, or stick with one who has made one costly error in his only game. Tough call.

Is the Pearson effect wearing off?

Nigel Pearson strode in at Watford and turned around their form with some much-needed, back-to-basics, no-nonsense management. But now they've lost two games, one to relegation rivals Aston Villa and one to ten-man Everton having been 2-0 up.

So is this just the natural fluctuation of results that you have to expect from a squad like Watford's, or a sign that the new Pearson bounce has worn off? Next weekend's game against Brighton is now absolutely crucial.

In praise of Dwight McNeil

Underrated might be the wrong word to use, but Burnley's Dwight McNeil is quite a player, a sort of Generation Z Jason Wilcox -- and that's meant as a compliment -- who's perfect for his team. A wide player who has pace but doesn't rely on it, he has a sensational left foot with which he delivered cross after threatening cross during their 0-0 draw with Arsenal. You'd forgive him for being thoroughly irked that his colleagues didn't actually convert any of them, for it was very much not his fault that Burnley didn't eventually break through.

Not that this is the one true measure of a player's worth, but it's slightly surprising that his name is not more prominent in the gossip columns for a transfer to somewhere more glamourous. If he continues like this, that will surely change.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Patrick Mahomes gave the Chiefs their first lead, 7-3, on a 1-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter.

Mahomes was hit and fumbled earlier in the drive, setting up a decision for coach Andy Reid on fourth down. Reid chose to go for it, and Williams picked up the first down on a direct snap.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo had some of his best drives during the regular season following an interception. He offered another strong response on the biggest stage Sunday night,

With his team trailing the Kansas City Chiefs 10-3, the Niners drove to Kansas City's 15 for a first-and-10. At the snap, Garoppolo faked a handoff and rolled to his right, where three pass catchers were running routes.

Garoppolo took the first option, firing to fullback Kyle Juszczyk, who was breaking toward the sideline. Juszczyk hauled it in, broke a tackle and raced into the end zone for San Francisco's first touchdown.

GIVE 'EM THE JUICE ?

TOUCHDOWN @JuiceCheck44! #BeLegendary pic.twitter.com/kT3qyJ4fvG

Kicker Robbie Gould hit the extra point to tie it at 10-10 with 5:05 left in the second quarter. Garoppolo went 3-of-3 for 42 yards and the score on the drive.

With the touchdown, Juszczyk became the first fullback with a receiving touchdown in a Super Bowl since former Niner William Floyd's 5-yard scoring grab from Steve Young in Super Bowl XXIX in January 1995, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

HOUSTON -- In the early part of his NBA career, New Orleans Pelicans rookie Zion Williamson has proved to be a force down in the post area.

Whether it's his offensive rebounding or touch around the rim, he's a tough cover for opposing teams.

That's why after Sunday afternoon's 117-109 loss to the Houston Rockets, Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry was visibly upset that his team largely ignored Williamson for stretches in the fourth quarter.

"We didn't execute and we didn't do what we were supposed to do," Gentry said. "Being said, Zion can't go four minutes without touching the basketball and that's on me. That's something that I've got to make sure that will never happen again. So I take responsibility for that. And if we're not gonna give it to him and not gonna execute, then we gotta have different people in the game. That's on me also."

When asked if that was simply teammates learning how to play with Williamson in what was just his sixth NBA game, Gentry wasn't buying it.

"Nah, you gotta throw him the damn basketball," Gentry said. "I mean it has nothing to do with playing together, figuring it out. He's got an advantage and we gotta find a way to get him the basketball down there. So I'm not buying the playing together or figuring out anything like that. We have to have him have touches in the fourth quarter."

Williamson finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds as the Pelicans lost the lead in the fourth quarter. Houston outscored New Orleans 25-16 in the final frame while the Pelicans struggled mightily down the stretch. The Pelicans shot 5-of-22 in the final 12 minutes, including 0-for-9 on their 3-point attempts.

New Orleans held a 63-43 edge in rebounding and Brandon Ingram had 28 points entering the fourth quarter, but he went 0-of-4 in the fourth quarter.

"Not really no, they did do a good job of switching that stood us up a little bit, but we have to know how to attack that and overcome it in the game," Ingram said when asked if Houston changed anything up late.

Williamson played 33 minutes, his most in any game this season. He mentioned after the game that he doesn't think he's on a minutes restrictions anymore, but instead the team is going on how he feels in the game.

It was the first time this season, however, that he topped the 30-minute plateau.

The Pelicans haven't been outscored while he's on the floor in any of his six games as he once again posted a positive plus-minus. Williamson has a 14.9 net rating (116.3 offensive rating, 101.4 defensive rating). Williamson was told about Gentry being upset about him not getting touches, but he said he felt his teammates were making the right plays.

"I don't fault nothing they did," Williamson said. "It was all good shots that they felt comfortable with. We just have to learn and move on."

Houston continued playing its small-ball lineup with no player taller than 6-foot-6 getting time. Although the rebounding battle went New Orleans' way, Houston's ability to switch everything eventually wore down the Pelicans.

Of course, it helped that James Harden looked like his old self with 40 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists.

Behind the former MVP's effort, the Rockets got back on track in the second half after it looked as though New Orleans could run away with the game.

But the Pelicans continuously tripped themselves up. They finished with 23 turnovers and the Rockets turned that into 29 points -- the most any Pelicans opponent has scored this season off of New Orleans' miscues.

Following the game, the Rockets had plenty of praise for Williamson's game.

"You see it, he's a very athletic player. He's a great player, he's gonna be a great player," coach Mike D'Antoni said. "I thought he was on a minute restriction but he played 17 in the first half, I'm going, 'What!?' So that's the only thing that could probably keep him down because he's gonna be a good player for a long time."

Harden told ESPN's Jorge Sedano walking off the court that Williamson was "going to be great."

Williamson is now averaging 19.5 points and 8.2 rebounds per game while shooting 61.5% from the field. If the Pelicans have any hopes of making a playoff push, Williamson is going to play a big role in that. And that's something Gentry is well aware of.

"You know, we control our own destiny. Nobody controls our destiny but us," Gentry said. "We have to be in a position where we understand that. And we have to grind the hell out of it to make sure we give ourselves every opportunity to win. I didn't think we did that."

TORONTO -- Terence Davis hasn't forgotten about being passed over for a spot in the Rising Stars Challenge at All-Star weekend. Even so, the Toronto Raptors' rookie is just happy he's playing for a contender.

Davis came off the bench to score a career-high 31 points and the Raptors tied a team record with their 11th straight win, beating the Chicago Bulls 129-102.

Toronto also won 11 straight in January 2016 and again Feb. 26-March 16, 2018.

Pascal Siakam added 17 points, Serge Ibaka had 16, Chris Boucher 15 and Kyle Lowry 14 for the reigning NBA champions. The Raptors outscored the Bulls 69-39 in the second half to win their 12th consecutive meeting with Chicago.

Davis made a career-high 12 of his 15 field goal attempts, including 6 of 7 from 3-point range.

"The ball was going in, so I kept shooting," Davis said.

Davis is the sixth rookie in Raptors history to score at least 30 in a game and the first to do it as a reserve.

"He's reaping some of the benefits of all his hard work," coach Nick Nurse said.

Davis said the All-Star snub was "definitely in the back of my mind" but insisted he's content with the Raptors, who are second in the East.

"I'm not saying I wouldn't want to play in the game, because it's a special event, but I would rather play in the playoffs," Davis said.

An undrafted rookie from the University of Mississippi, Davis had scored 23 points twice this season, most recently against Washington on Jan. 17. He surpassed that mark with a 13-point fourth quarter and received a hug from Lowry when he checked out with 3:12 remaining.

"It just shows you what type of team this is," Davis said. "We all love each other, we care for each other, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else, honestly."

Thaddeus Young fouled out with 21 points, and Zach LaVine had 18 as Toronto swept Chicago for the third straight season.

Chandler Hutchison scored 17 points, and Ryan Arcidiacono and Coby White each had 12 for the Bulls, who are 8-18 on the road.

The Raptors were without guard Norman Powell, who broke the ring finger on his left hand in Friday's win at Detroit. Center March Gasol missed his third straight game because of a sore left hamstring. Both players are out indefinitely.

"With Norm being out, (Davis) is going to have an opportunity," Lowry said. "He's got to take advantage of it."

Bulls guard Kris Dunn missed his first game of the season, with Hutchison starting in his place. Coach Jim Boylen said Dunn has been diagnosed with a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee.

Dunn was injured on the first possession of Friday's loss at Brooklyn. He flew back to Chicago on Saturday to be evaluated by team doctors.

Bulls forward Daniel Gafford didn't return after suffering an apparent injury on an awkward fall in the first quarter, but Boylen said afterward that Gafford was OK. Gafford had missed the previous nine games because of a dislocated right thumb.

Chicago led 63-60 at halftime, but Toronto reclaimed the lead with a 17-4 run over the first five minutes of the third.

"We dropped our heads a little bit in that third when the ball wasn't going in and they made their run," Boylen said.

Siakam scored nine points in the third, and Ibaka had eight as the Raptors took a 95-85 lead to the fourth.

"We threw it away," a disappointed LaVine said. "Same story we do most of the games we lead at halftime."

TIP-INS

Bulls: F Lauri Markkanen (stress reaction, right pelvis) missed his sixth straight game.

KNOCKING ON THE PLAYOFF DOOR

Chicago is ninth in the East, 3½ games behind Orlando for the final playoff berth. The Bulls have lost three straight after winning four of the previous six.

"When opportunity knocks, you've got to open the door," LaVine said. "We just stood there. We might have jiggled the handle a little bit, but that's about it."

Novak Djokovic says queuing for bread in difficult times in Serbia gave him the inner steel needed to fight back to win an eighth Australian Open crown.

Djokovic was struggling physically and mentally before he recovered to beat Austria's Dominic Thiem in five sets.

"I came from literally nothing and difficult life circumstances together with my family and with my people," he said after his record-extending title.

"That's why I managed to find that extra gear."

Djokovic, 32, won his 17th Grand Slam title by beating Thiem 6-4 4-6 2-6 6-3 6-4, moving him closing to Swiss Roger Federer's record of 20 and Spaniard Rafael Nadal's tally of 19.

When Djokovic, who was born in the Serbian capital of Belgrade, celebrated his 12th birthday in May 1999 a decade-long crisis was tearing the Balkans apart.

More than 20 years later, there is still tension over how Nato bombed Serbia for 11 weeks in an effort to push Serbian forces out of Kosovo, accusing them of atrocities against ethnic Albanians.

"My upbringing was in Serbia during a difficult time, an embargo in our country where we had to wait in line for bread, milk, water, some basic things in life," he said.

"These kind of things make you stronger and hungrier for success in whatever you choose to do.

"That probably has been my foundation.

"Going back to that, reminding myself where I came from always inspires me, motivates me to push even harder."

Will Djokovic catch up with Federer?

Djokovic has made no secret that he wants to eclipse Federer and Nadal to eventually finish as the greatest of all time in terms of Grand Slam titles.

He has won more Australian Opens than any other player but said he will not be able to "comprehend" his achievements until he retires.

"The intensity of the tennis season, especially if you're committed to play full season, which I am for many years already, doesn't allow you to kind of reflect and enjoy the success of a Grand Slam trophy," he said.

"Already in a few weeks' time I'll be playing a tournament somewhere else in a different part of the world."

Former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash said it is hard to predict who out of the 'Big Three' will eventually be viewed as the greatest.

"Federer has a chance - probably one more real chance - of getting one more title at Wimbledon. I still think he is up there in the best players on grass. He's still good enough," BBC Radio 5 Live pundit Cash said.

"But the other couple of guys look like they are carrying on. Every tournament is different depending on lead-ups and injury. At this stage any little injury or setback is massive for the older guys.

"You look at who he [Djokovic] has beaten in finals, he has beaten Tsonga and Anderson, but the majority of them have been against Murray, Nadal and Federer. He has beaten those guys more or less all the time.

"That's one heck of a way to rack up those Grand Slam titles.

"You've got to make a call on each of their success individually. It is very hard to make a call on the greatest of all time."

Younger players need a 'bit of luck' to beat the 'Big Three'

Thiem said it is only going to take "small details" for someone to finally end the dominance of Djokovic, Federer and Nadal.

The old guard have won the past 13 Grand Slam singles titles, with no other player triumphing since Switzerland's Stan Wawrinka at the 2016 US Open.

Thiem, 26, challenged Nadal in a four-set French Open final before pushing Djokovic even further in his first major final on a hard court.

Russia's Daniil Medvedev, whom Thiem will replace as the world number four on Monday, also took Nadal to five sets at the US Open in September.

"It's unique in sports history that the three best players by far are playing in the same era," Thiem said.

"That's what makes it very, very difficult for other players to break through.

"You have to beat at least two of them to win a big title. Almost all players failed to do that. That's what makes it so tough."

Thiem led Djokovic by two sets to one and missed a break point for a 2-1 lead in the fourth set.

That proved pivotal as a resurgent Djokovic fought back to win in three hours 59 minutes.

"It could have gone either way for Daniil in the US Open and for me here," Thiem said.

"There's nothing special to say about it. It takes nothing more than just little bit luck, little details there."

'Heir apparent' Thiem is ready to win Roland Garros - Cash

Despite another disappointing loss at a Grand Slam final, it would be a major surprise if Thiem does not clinch that elusive major trophy sooner rather later.

Cash said there is a "great possibility" Thiem could do it at the next attempt, on his favoured clay surface at the French Open in June.

Thiem has lost both of the past two finals to 33-year-old Nadal, who has won a record 12 titles in Paris.

"He is the obvious heir apparent to Rafa at Roland Garros. He's the only one who looks like he is able to stop him," said Cash, who lost the 1987 Australian Open final before winning his one and only major at Wimbledon later that year.

"I don't think he is far from knocking off Rafa over five on [Court Philippe] Chatrier, which is Rafa's home.

"No-one will beat Nadal there when he is in his top form but he's not always going to be in top form."
