Excellent turned perfect five minutes later with Emiliano Marcondes brilliantly directing a low header home...

Despite being sat in third place for the majority of the season - 14 points ahead of Manchester United at one stage in February - Leicester somehow managed to finish fifth in this season's Premier League, missing out on a return to Champions League football by the skin of their teeth. While the wound will still be too sore for Leicester fans to address, the truth is that they're actually not far off that top four at all - even if they did throw away UCL qualification this season. With the...

With Aston Villa defying all the odds and staying in the Premier League on the final day of the season, Jack Grealish's situation has changed massively - and likely for the better for Villa fans. Survival has allowed Villa to justify increasing their asking price for their star man, which has resulted in Manchester United cooling their interest in Grealish. Having previously been linked with Donny van de Beek as a backup option - yes, a secondary option to Jack Grealish - he could now be their...

FIFA's COVID-19 Relief Plan has been approved by the Bureau of the FIFA Council, meaning that $1.5 billion is being made available to member associations to support different levels of football through the pandemic.

Football has...

Willian's agent, Kia Joorabchian has confirmed that his client has offers on the table from two Premier League clubs, as well as three more from across the globe.

Real Madrid are said to be closely monitoring the progress of Sevilla's 21 year-old centre-back Jules Kounde.

To call this Premier League season ‘unique’ would be like saying ‘Roy Keane probably isn't a big fan of Love Island’. If a three-month break halfway through the season wasn’t enough to make this a pretty, erm, unforgettable season, then Liverpool being crowned champions and Dominic Solanke scoring THREE goals certainly was. What a season. What a team. ?#LFCchampions pic.twitter.com/vI2AsgxVHh — Liverpool FC (Premier League Champions ?) (@LFC) July 26, 2020 There’s been no shortage of thrills...

Dani Ceballos has had a strange season at Arsenal. After starting brightly, his performance levels waned somewhat before an injury and lack of application nearly saw him return to Real Madrid in January. But since he forced his way back into the side - coincidentally following Mikel Arteta's appointment as head coach - Ceballos has strung together a number of impressive performances, leading to speculation galore that Arsenal may look to bring him back to the Emirates Stadium for next season,...

AFC Bournemouth finished the 2019/20 Premier League season in 18th position, just one point from safety. The Cherries' relegation from the top flight was confirmed on the final day despite beating Everton 3-1 at Goodison Park. Howe's men required both Aston Villa and Watford to lose their final games, but Jack Grealish's strike secured Villa the one point they needed for survival. As Bournemouth return to the Sky Bet Championship for the first time in five years, there are some players who...

To celebrate the return of the upcoming Champions League knockout fixtures, Pepsi MAX has teamed up with Houseparty to create a fresh football trivia game. When he isn't popping off wonderful cross-field passes - they're, ahem, sodalicious - or fizzing shots past keepers, Paul Pogba has been surprising unaware fans; crashing the Houseparty sessions of people who are stumped on a Pogba-related question.

Manchester City are said to have reached an agreement with Valencia regarding the transfer of Ferran Torres, with a breakthrough in talks coming on Wednesday. Following confirmation that City's two-year European ban had been overturned, the club have since been linked with a number of players.

There are some players in this world who make the game of football look beautifully simple. From the nonchalant scoring of outrageous goals to possessing a first touch smoother than silk, it all seems to come so naturally for a select few. One player you'd put in that bracket - and many other brackets for that matter - is Netherlands legend Dennis Bergkamp. Written off by the British press upon signing for Arsenal, he made light work of embarrassing his critics by becoming one of the greatest...

Leicester City knew that failure to secure a top four finish would potentially signal the starting klaxon for a mass exodus of some of their top stars. As expected, it's taken a matter of days for the first signs of unrest to rear their head - with Ben Chilwell reportedly planning on handing in a transfer request to speed along his imminent exit to Chelsea. The Blues are not the only club interested with Manchester City keen and Manchester United also keeping an eye on proceedings. He's...

Bayern Munich's flying left-back Alphonso Davies has named his top five full-backs currently operating in world football. Davies was a revelation on Bayern's left flank this season, as the Bavarians stormed to an eighth straight Bundesliga title. The Canada international made his Bayern debut in 2018/19 but rocketed to stardom this season as the club's first choice left-back - scoring three times and registering five assists in 29 appearances. Davies and Thomas Muller celebrate the DFB Pokal...

mmer After a disappointing season which saw them beaten to the title by arch rivals Real Madrid, Barcelona go into an important summer in dire need of a reshuffle.

Here is a closer look at the Barcelona squad and whether they should be kept at the Camp Nou. 1. Goalkeepers Ter Stegen has been fantastic for Barcelona since signing in 2014 Marc-Andre ter Stegen (STAY) - Since...

1990 was one of those years. Politics was changing with Thatcherism fraying at the edges in the wake of the Poll Tax riots. Music was changing with the ecstasy-fuelled Madchester scene cementing Britain's place as the dance capital of the world. Most importantly though, football was changing. The 1990 World Cup holds a special place in the hearts of all fans of the beautiful game and, for better or worse, it changed the sport forever. At the centre of it all was a football shirt. Not a home...

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has cooled talk of a move away for 'the best goalkeeper in the world' Jan Oblak this summer, with the Slovenian being linked with Chelsea and Manchester United. Oblak started every La Liga game for Atletico this season, conceding just 27 goals during this time and keeping 17 clean sheets. Indeed, only Real Madrid - who won the league title - conceded fewer goals than Atletico in 2019/20. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jan Oblak (@oblakjan)...

A bizarre and hugely eventful 2019/20 Premier League season will live long in the memory of footballing fans for a number of reasons.
