So, a nice solid win for Liverpool against Chelsea was all that was needed in the penultimate game of the season for Jurgen Klopp's side. But thankfully for the viewers - unless you were caught up in Wednesday's Championship drama, which was also excellent - the two sides put on an entertaining spectacle, full of awesome goals and daft defensive play. There was also some trophy lofting to be seen, if you hadn't heard. That was eventful ?#LIVCHE pic.twitter.com/0vXEFeKjRs — Premier League...

ions Liverpool ensured their Premier League title-lifting celebrations came off the back of a victory, as a barmy 5-3 win over Chelsea saw the visitors' hopes of elite European qualification suffer a potentially crucial blow. The deadlock was broken in mesmerising fashion, with Naby Keita unleashing a rocket that flew beyond Kepa Arrizabalaga off the underside of the bar. Not to be outdone by his teammate, Trent Alexander-Arnold sprinkled his own magic on the affair with a fine bending free...

rmed The Championship always throws up drama. Leeds returning to the Premier League, one side beating another 8-0, and teams waiting until the last possible second to either secure a place in the play offs or avoid relegation. For pure entertainment, not much can match it, and the final day of the division on Wednesday did not disappoint. So, here's all you need to know from the second tier's breathless final gameweek of the 2019/20 season. Promoted THE BAGGIES ARE BACK IN THE @premierleague!!!...

Mason Greenwood's start against West Ham was his 50th appearance for Manchester United at senior level. While that might not sound all that outlandish on the surface, it's an incredible stat when you consider he only turned 18 in October. Making his debut as a late substitute in United's Champions League comeback against Paris Saint-Germain in March 2019, it's been a never-ending dream for both himself and United fans ever since. His strike versus West Ham was his 17th for the season in all...

Who gets the honour of becoming the cover star for the latest instalment of EA SPORTS' FIFA series is always a hot topic. It's an iconic role offered to a world-class talent, so naturally Kylian Mbappe is the man to take up the mantle this year. Smashing countless records before turning 22, as well as lifting a plethora of trophies including the 2018 World Cup, have catapulted the Frenchman into a new footballing stratosphere, with his inclusion on the cover of FIFA 21 adding to his accolades....

oint Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw with West Ham on Wednesday night, as the visitors left with a well deserved point to mathematically confirm their place in next season's Premier League. A first half dominated by United, but one where they failed to properly test Lukas Fabianski, would go West Ham's way in comical fashion. Paul Pogba - for fear of his life - inexplicably handballed in the box when the ball was struck towards him from 20 yards, with Michail Antonio tucking the spot...

Despite the obvious financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic on clubs, Paris Saint-Germain were still able to make Mauro Icardi's loan move permanent in May for around £45m. Indeed, Les Parisiens' financial muscle and ability in the transfer market has been well-documented. But what perhaps goes often unnoticed as a result of their casual £200m investments is their youth academy. In a team that contains Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, Icardi, Angel Di Maria...the list goes on, why would people take...

West Ham have shown an interest in bringing Atalanta defender Robin Gosens to the club this summer, but could face a battle with other clubs for his signature. Gosens - who plays as a left back - has scored an impressive ten goals in all competition this season and assisted a further eight, which has understandably put his name on the lips of a number of clubs. Gosens' attacking qualities have proven enticing for some Premier League clubs The Irons are one of the clubs said to be interested in...

Hands up if you know Alex Iwobi's best position. Anyone? None of Arsene Wenger, Unai Emery or Marco Silva could figure it out either. Throughout his professional career, Iwobi has been used on the left, the right and through the middle. That could be seen as versatility, but in Iwobi’s situation, it is most likely due to a limited number of great performances in any given position. Iwobi left Arsenal for a princely sum Since Carlo Ancelotti joined Everton in December, the Nigeria international...

Legendary former Spain and Real Madrid manager Vicente del Bosque has given his backing to Xavi Hernandez to be a success as head coach at Barcelona, whenever his time comes. Xavi has long been tipped for a return to Camp Nou - where he spent almost all of his playing career - and was a leading candidate to succeed Ernesto Valverde in January. However, it is reported that the four-time Champions League winner, who is currently in charge of Qatari side Al Sadd, turned down the role due to a...

Even the best-laid plans can occasionally go up in smoke. For a club which has become synonymous with chaos, disaster and mismanagement in recent years, Milan actually had all their ducks in a row this time. Marco Giampaolo did not last long as Milan coach Marco Giampaolo's appointment - and subsequent sacking - reeked of negligence and poor decision-making at the very top, and the arrival of Stefano Pioli did little to ease the tensions among the Rossoneri fanbase. But Giampaolo's brief spell...

With tactical approaches to playing football evolving year after year, it's little surprise to learn that the role of the forward has dramatically changed over time. The second striker role can be somewhat complicated to understand in that some may disagree on which players operate primarily in this position. Yet, despite the complexity, it remains one of the most fascinating positions in football, while it can be one of the hardest for opponents to defend against. Operating in pockets of...

Exclusive - Arsenal are considering a move for Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz, amid renewed interest from Manchester City. Luiz left City to join the Villans in a deal worth around £15m at the start of the season, and his stand-out performances have led to talk of a swift return to the Etihad Stadium - especially given that they were reluctant to let him go in the first place. Douglas Luiz has shone for Aston Villa this season The Citizens wanted Luiz to remain at the club in the summer...

Leicester have made an offer for Trabzonspor midfielder Abdulkadir Parmak, according to reports in Turkey. The 25-year-old has been ever present for the six-time Turkish champions this season, making 43 appearances in all competitions and scoring three goals. Abdulkadir Parmak has finally broken into the Trabzonspor team this season Trabzonspor were challenging at the top of the table for much of the season but have fallen away recently and now look set to finish in second place with one game...

Women's Super League clubs are already preparing for the start of the 2020/21 season, with the summer transfer window now in full swing. Here's a roundup of new signing and every departure this summer... Arsenal Following on from the January capture of Caitlin Foord, there is a distinct Australian theme to Arsenal's summer recruitment as they try and take the title back from Chelsea.

So, it's happened: Leeds United are a Premier League team once more. But without boring you with the 'back where they belong' speech, the raw truth is that you only belong there if you're good enough. As it stands they've been well stocked enough to get back to the promise land, but their chances are slimmer than Patrick Bamford's calves if they hope to remain there with the squad they have. Marcelo Bielsa has worked wonders this season with the tools at his disposal, utilising youth and...

Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce has offered an explanation for the lack of game time given to Japanese international Yoshinori Muto. Muto, who arrived from Bundesliga side Mainz in 2018 for an estimated £9m fee, has made just two Premier League starts for the Magpies this season. Muto has endured a tough spell at Newcastle Speaking after his side's goalless draw against Brighton, Bruce said (via The Sheilds Gazette): “Look, I’ll sit down with Muto. He hasn’t had the best of times under...

Manchester United have entered 'advanced talks' with Jadon Sancho as they prepare to submit an official £80m bid to Borussia Dortmund. United have been chasing the forward for some time and he remains Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's top target as he looks to reshape his squad. Sancho has been in fine form this season, racking up 40 goal contributions in just 44 appearances in all competitions. Sancho may have played his last game for Dortmund According to 'transfer expert' Nicolo Schira, the Red Devils...
