Başakşehir shock United, Barça stay perfect

As Mikel Arteta paced the perimeter of his technical area at Molineux, arms a blur while dishing out multilingual instructions, Arsenal - uncharacteristically - defended their lead. A 2-0 victory at the home of Champions League-chasing Wolves was the club's fourth consecutive win in ten days - and the first time Arsenal have recorded a quartet of triumphs since October 2018. After six testing months at the helm, punctuated by an unprecedented global pandemic, this is the height of Arteta's...

Paul Pogba to snub Man City interest & leave Premier League this summer

News The bad news for Watford and Norwich? The relegation candidates are two of the worst form teams in the entire league, with Watford having managed just a single point since the league restarted and Norwich losing all four of their games. The good news? They at least can't both lose on Tuesday, with the out-of-sorts pair going up against each other in a six-pointer which will could define both sides' seasons. Simply put, Daniel Farke's side can probably say a tearful goodbye to Premier...

Takounda: Cameroon striker joins Motlhalo and Boakye at Djurgardens

The 34-year-old is now the most senior member of the Reds title-winning squad and has begun to look ahead at what could lie in store once his playing...

Arrasate, Osasuna's 'Jurgen Klopp' on coaching, soccer during pandemic

Let's be honest. Chelsea's 3-0 win over Watford wasn't the most entertaining game you'll ever see. Watford's inability (or perhaps straight-up refusal) to actually play football meant Chelsea were just passing the ball around for 90 minutes, so Frank Lampard's side controlled proceedings and strolled to victory thanks to goals from Olivier Giroud, Willian and Ross Barkley. The Blues were about as impressive as they could be, with Mason Mount and Eden Haza-- sorry, Christian Pulisic both...

Mokwena likens TP Mazembe's Caf struggles to Liverpool at Anfield

Arsenal's defence, you say? Surely that's a sick joke. I mean, c'mon, Arsenal are, and forever will be, diabolical at the back. Right? Forget history, tradition and Tony Adams, everyone knows that their defending is at a League One standard. I'm fairly confident that it's written in a contract somewhere, carved into the wall of a cave and memorialised in the very depths of the population's Twitter feeds. One must not utter any other explanation of the Gunners' back line without mentioning some...

Alessia Russo interview: 'If I can inspire more young girls, then that's my job.'

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has revealed he is confident that his team 'will be allowed' to play in next year's Champions League, despite the two-year ban they received from UEFA earlier in the season. In February, UEFA fined Manchester City €30m and barred them from European competition for the next two seasons after ruling that the club had breached Financial Fair Play rules. Manchester City have consistently expressed supreme confidence in their belief that the ban will be...

Frank Lampard Offers Injury Update on N'Golo Kanté After Watford Win

Kante was forced off late in the game Gilmour's introduction meant Jorginho spent another game glued to the bench, which has only intensified rumours of a potential...

Mario Rivera believes it is wrong to blame Shree Cement for East Bengal's situation

What a difference two weeks can make. After defeat to Brighton, it looked like all Mikel Arteta's fine initial work was being torn apart by individual foolishness, but fast forward from there and an impressive victory away at Wolves has Arsenal on a run of four straight win. Goals from Bukayo Saka and Alexandre Lacazette secured a 2-0 win, one that eases the strain on the Gunners' current predicament and has them back in contention for a European place this season.

Meet Nicolò Zaniolo: Roma's two-goal wonderkid

USWNT learns opponents for '23 SheBelieves Cup

As Barcelona prepare to face Villarreal on Sunday evening, all eyes will be on Quique Setién as he looks to quieten the rumours surrounding his future at Camp Nou.

Sure, seven games unbeaten may sound good on the surface, but the three draws during that run simply isn't good...
