Clipped home is one way of describing a goal being scored. Clipped is similar to dink in that it is one form of taking a shot - usually a first-time shot, while the word 'home' of course refers to the goal. So this phrase means that Fernandinho scored a goal towards the end of the game.

Tilted the scoreline here means that the final goal that Toure (The Ivorian player) scored gave the result (scoreline) an unbalanced look, that is, the scoreline did not really reflect the true nature of the game.

In the third example you have given I think to catch up with sounds like some form of advertisement for people to watch something they may have missed so that they can be up to date with what has occurred.

Clipped home uses the verb 'to clip' - it's a rare phrase meaning to score a goal with a 'dink' as damianf has said.

Usually, 'to clip' is used to describe an accidental foul - 'He clipped his heel' for example, meaning a player accidentally touched an opponent's foot and tripped them up.

Here is an example from football.co.uk "Fran Rico clipped Iniesta's heels just inside the area..."

Thanks Damian.

I forgot this one:

"Per Mertesacker reduced the arrears in injury time."

reduced the arrears = ?

Thanks grell and damian.

grell I've seen clip as fouling a player as well especially from behind.

So by what damian said clip is similar to dink which means a light touch on the ball as the second goal by Fernandinho (City 6x3 Arsenal) happened.

That's nice cause I just knew the "dink" word.

dink here in Brazil is called: cavadinha

If a team is losing by more than one goal in a game but then scores the next goal we can say that they have reduced the arrears - they have closed the gap between the two sides. So for example Arsenal were losing 6-2 against Man City when Mertesacker's late goal made it 6-3 , which reduced the arrears somewhat.
