Gary Lineker opens door to Match of the Day extension after Jermaine Jenas scandal
Gary Lineker has appeared to express a willingness to stay on as Match of the Day host, after his widely tipped replacement Jermaine Jenas was fired from the BBC over allegations of inappropriate workplace behaviour.
The 63-year-old former England footballer has presented the BBC’s flagship sports show for a quarter of a century but his £1.3million-a-year contract is due to expire at the end of the current season and it is unclear whether he will seek to renew it.

Scott Lindsey apologises for tackle which leaves Brighton’s Matt O’Riley injured
Crawley boss Scott Lindsey apologised for the challenge by his captain Jay Williams which cut short the debut of Brighton’s new signing Matt O’Riley in the Premier League side’s 4-0 Carabao Cup win.
O’Riley, signed by the Seagulls for £25million from Scottish champions Celtic, was forced off after just 10 minutes following a challenge which infuriated the Brighton bench and left the midfielder sweating on the results of a scan to his ankle.
Dissent among the two simmered and boiled over towards the end when both Lindsey and Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler were booked by referee Alex Chilowicz, although the two exchanged a handshake at the finish.

The Crawley boss admitted his side may have been “a bit aggressive”.
Matt O’Riley injured on debut but Brighton progress in Carabao Cup
Brighton booked a place in the third round of the Carabao Cup with a 4-0 home victory over League one Crawley in the first competitive game between the sides since 1992.
Scott Lindsey’s Red Devils put up a brave fight and gave a fine account of themselves against a much-changed Seagulls side.
Goals from Simon Adingra and Jeremy Sarmiento put Brighton in charge, and they scored twice more in the space of two minutes through Adam Webster and Mark O’Mahony before Crawley substitute Jack Roles was shown a straight red card in the last minute.

The £25million signing lasted just 10 minutes before limping off after a crunching tackle from Jay Williams.
Everton took a mini step forward with Carabao Cup win
There is little chance of Dyche or his players getting ahead of themselves after overcoming Doncaster, but it was progress at the end of a chastening start to the Premier League season.
“We want all of the group to lay down markers,” the Everton boss said. “It’s not just about new players, it’s about every player.
“Can they keep evolving, if you like, for the next challenge? That’s what we’ve had to do many times. Challenges come, we have to go again and go again and go again, and there’s another challenge at the moment.
“So, that’s a mini step forward. The reason why I say a mini step forward is because it’s a cup competition.
“The league is the be-all and end-all. We all know that, so our next step is going into Saturday and deliver a performance that can win on Saturday.”
Everton took a mini step forward with Carabao Cup win – Sean Dyche
Sean Dyche was pleased with how Everton overcame the “noise” around their alarming start to the season to take a “mini step forward” by beating Doncaster in the Carabao Cup.
“In many ways (it was satisfying), yeah,” Toffees boss Dyche said. “I think the first thing is the performance level.
“Without really opening too much in the first half, I thought it was a very solid performance and we were asking questions.
“Second half, a little bit more freedom came into the play, particularly in the top third, which is what I spoke to them about at half-time and I’m pleased they delivered that.
“We scored three goals – on another day could have had maybe another couple – so overall pleasing.
“You know, a lot of noise about our start, but I think it showed we’ve still got a group that are alive here and some good players.”
