Ivan Toney admits being undecided on international future

A 23-year-old man has been charged for his role in the planning and promotion of a COVID-19 charity match in Northern Spain, which had aimed to pit a team of players who had tested positive for the virus against a team who had tested negative. The spread of the virus in Spain has slowed allowing some degree of normality to return, but the country remains on high alert, with many lockdown and physical distancing measures still in place. That being the case, it's fairly clear to see why taking a...

Koeman leaves Barca with worst win record in almost 20 years

Sealing the title at your near-empty home stadium which isn't really your home stadium. With only a bunch of photographers and substitutes there to see it.

Sources: Napoli clear way for Lozano's PSV return

Manchester United defender Eric Bailly collided with Harry Maguire in the FA Cup semi-final with Chelsea on Sunday evening and required a stretcher to leave the field. The Ivorian started in a back three alongside Maguire and Victor Lindelof, but shortly before the 45-minute mark he went down after colliding with Maguire as the captain entered a 50/50 with Olivier Giroud. Bailly was initially able to play on, and even after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer decided not to take any chances and replaced him...

Martino: Messi to start at home vs. Nashville

inal Chelsea set up an FA Cup final meeting with Arsenal as they cruised to a comfortable 3-1 win over a surprisingly lacklustre Manchester United on Sunday evening. The two sides began positively, but it was Chelsea who had the early chances. Reece James' long-range strike was parried by David de Gea, before Marcos Alonso headed a good chance over the bar. United grew into the game, but the Blues snatched a deserved lead deep into added time as Olivier Giroud poked through De Gea from close...

Watford Confirm Nigel Pearson Sacking Before Final Premier League Games

Watford have confirmed they have sacked manager Nigel Pearson ahead of their final two Premier League games of the season. Wins against Norwich and Newcastle lifted the club three points clear of the relegation zone but Friday night's 3-1 loss to West Ham means their spot in the top flight next term is still far from certain. The news first broke earlier on Sunday, with reports revealing the Hornets had already let the former Leicester boss go, and the Hertfordshire side have now confirmed...

Frank Lampard Found the Tactic Chelsea Must Stick With in Man Utd Victory

We all know just how unreliable Chelsea's defence has been this season. The Blues have been about as leaky as they ever have been in the Roman Abramovich era. Frank Lampard's men have barely impressed on that side of the pitch since the restart, with catastrophic showings against West Ham and Sheffield United still fresh in the memory, and the boss knew that Manchester United - probably the Premier League's most in-form side - could cause him real problems in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final clash....

Fran Kirby signs new Chelsea contract until at least 2023

ited The Premier League has been waiting for Leeds United for 16 years, and it's been waiting for Marcelo Bielsa for far longer than that. Like a pair of particularly irksome buses, they've only gone and come along at once. But what's all the hype about? What is it that Bielsa and Leeds have that, say, Eddie Howe and Bournemouth don't? Why should we all have been rooting for them from the day they announced the enigmatic Argentine as their new manager? Well... 1. A Neurotic, Unpredictable...

Harvey Elliott explains reason for taking Liverpool's number 19 shirt

rcia One of the major priorities for Manchester City heading into the upcoming transfer window is to strengthen their fragile defence. Aymeric Laporte's injury earlier this season really highlighted how weak and thin City were at the back and many have talked up the need for the club to bring in a world class defender in order to challenge for the title next season, with Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly the name on everyone's lips. Koulibaly has long been rumoured to want out of Naples, and...

Toronto FC hoping to make MLS Cup run having spent much of 2020 far from home

It's FA Cup semi-final time, people! While the tension and anxiety of a final often mean the pinnacle of the competition persistently underwhelms, the weekend of semi-final action typically delivers everything you want in a couple of games of football. And while Mikel Arteta's stifling of his master in Arsenal's 2-0 defeat of Manchester City may be a result which defines the Spaniard's era in north London, the game itself was hardly a spectacle and certainly not worthy of being apart of this...

Messi proud of Barcelona response in Alaves thrashing

Liverpool have been name-checked in connection with a move for Watford winger Ismaila Sarr, although a summer deal appears quite unlikely. Sarr joined Watford for a club record fee close to £30m in August 2019, and has since turned in a number of eye-catching performances, scoring five times and laying on three assists in the Premier League. Liverpool were famously on the receiving end of one of those eye-catching performances on 29 February, when Sarr almost single-handedly ended their...

Twitter reacts as Real Madrid confirm Sergio Ramos will leave the club

rink Bournemouth's hopes of Premier League survival were dealt a hammer blow on Sunday afternoon, as strikes from Danny Ings and Che Adams condemned the hosts to a 22nd league defeat in 2019/20. An end-to-end first half saw both sides spurn good opportunities to take the lead, but it was the lethal right boot of Danny Ings which broke the deadlock as he bent in a low effort beyond Aaron Ramsdale to break the home side's spirit.

Bale, Ramsey have Wales eyeing another Cinderella run

War Leicester and Newcastle are said to have joined virtually every other Premier League club in pursuing relegated Norwich's Todd Cantwell. It's been a long slog of a season for Daniel Farke's team, whose long-awaited relegation was confirmed after a 4-0 defeat to West Ham last weekend. Cantwell has been one of few bright spots, emerging from the fringes of the squad to appear in all but one of their league matches this term. His seven Norwich goals this term are bettered only by Teemu Pukki,...

Chelsea & Tottenham tracking Serge Gnabry after Bayern contract extension talks stall

Leeds United are finally set to return to the Premier League, after a stellar year in the Championship that saw Marcelo Bielsa's side reign supreme over the competition.
