As Gianluigi Buffon fiddled with the velcro on his gloves, striding out into a barren Allianz Stadium, the 'Maradona of Goalkeepers' added another landmark moment to the weighty tome detailing his achievements. Juventus' regulation 4-1 win over Torino was Buffon's 648th appearance in Serie A, overtaking the record held by Milan legend Paolo Maldini, who had sat atop the chart for the best part of 15 years. Serie A's all-time leading appearance maker. 648 games played. Gianluigi Buffon is a...

Manchester City have not ruled out the possibility of extending Sergio Aguero's stay with the club for another 12 months, taking him through to 2022, despite currently being sidelined through injury. The club's all-time top scorer hasn't featured since the 5-0 thumping of Burnley in June, suffering a knee injury that required surgery and has ruled him out of the Cityzens' Champions League semi-final second leg with Real Madrid on 7 August.

osts Juventus had to rely on two penalties to salvage a point against Atalanta at the Allianz Stadium, as Cristiano Ronaldo came to the rescue once again in a frenetic 2-2 draw. The visitors dominated the opening stages, and took the lead on 16 minutes when Duvan Zapata latched on to a cute Alejandro Gomez reverse pass to rifle home from inside the penalty area. FBL-ITA-SERIEA-JUVENTUS-ATALANTA-HEALTH-VIRUS Juventus were handed the opportunity to level the scores with a penalty eight minutes...

The Premier League. The promised land. You spend a lifetime dreaming of seeing your heroes go toe-to-toe with football's elite, stepping out on centre court at Old Trafford or Anfield, and beaming with pride as Gary Lineker sings their praises on Match of the Day. And then the season starts. Week after week, you sit through humiliation upon humiliation, Your previously worshipped manager gets the sack, and you fall asleep before you even get to watch your team get pummelled in the final game...

Away Sheffield United moved within five points of the Champions League qualification places after a comprehensive 3-0 win over Chelsea at Bramall Lane. The Blades drew first blood in south Yorkshire through David McGoldrick - scoring his first Premier League goal - after the Irishman fired home from close range after Kepa Arrizabalaga did well to palm away Oli McBurnie's deflected initial effort. ?

The haul. A rare creature, scarcely spotted on our footballing shores. But what does it take for one player to score four goals in one, solitary game of football? Well, a combination of things really. Clinical finishing? Obviously. Natural scoring instinct? Check. Horrific defending? You betcha. It's no surprise then, that this list of players to have scored four or more goals in a game features the greatest strikers of the Premier League era - and Michail Antonio. Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal...

Arsenal's defensive frailties have been well documented for a number of years, dating back to the days of Arsene Wenger. When the Frenchman eventually stood aside, successor Unai Emery wasn't really able to address the problem - and soon enough, a lack of creativity in front of goal was added to the list of criticisms being flung Arsenal's way. Now, Mikel Arteta is steering the ship - and although the creativity issue remains, it's fair comment to say that the Spaniard has started to address...

Jose Mourinho has admitted that he wants his Tottenham side to be a 'reflection of what the coach is' when they face Arsenal on Sunday. Mourinho is poised to take charge of his first north London Derby off the back of a wretched run of form that has seen Spurs drop out of contention for a Champions League qualification spot. Mourinho has a good track record of winning important derby clashes. The Portuguese boss does have a proven track record of motivating his players for the big occasion,...

Frank Lampard did not hold back in his criticism of his Chelsea players after the 3-0 defeat to Sheffield United, claiming the Blades had 'more voice and personality' while lamenting a number of individual mistakes. Chris Wilder's surprisingly tore the Blues apart at Bramall Lane, sealing all three points thanks to David McGoldrick's brace and Oliver McBurnie's first half header. Sheffield United v Chelsea FC - Premier League Lampard was livid at the final whistle, and, as quoted on Chelsea's...

tory Manchester City put their away day troubles behind them with a comprehensive 5-0 win over Brighton at the Amex Stadium. Pep Guardiola's side had lost three of their last four Premier League games on the road, but were rarely troubled against an out-of-sorts Seagulls side who were never really at the races. Raheem Sterling curled home the opening goal from 20 yards out. Raheem Sterling was the main beneficiary for City, picking up a hat-trick to take his season's goal tally to 27 in all...

Chelsea are plotting a summer offer for Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson as a replacement for Kepa Arrizabalaga, according to reports. Kepa has struggled for consistency during his second season at Stamford Bridge, with Frank Lampard dropping the £70m man in February following a particularly patchy run of form. He has since been reinstated in the Chelsea starting XI, but saw his performance criticised once more on Tuesday for his part in Wilfried Zaha's goal during the Blues' 3-2...

Reds Burnley earned a huge point in their pursuit of European football on Saturday, as they drew 1-1 with champions Liverpool at Anfield. The Reds were in control in the early stages, as Nick Pope pulled off a brilliant save to deny Mohamed Salah, clawing the Egyptian's shot away from goal. Pope won the second battle between the pair, this time positioning himself well to keep Salah out with his leg.

aly Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea have all been handed a huge boost in their hunt for a new defender, after Napoli gave Senegalese star Kalidou Koulibaly the 'green light' to leave Stadio San Paolo this summer. The 29-year-old has been on the radar of Europe's elite clubs for a number of years now, and it appears the time has come for him to wave goodbye to Naples, after six years with the Serie A side. SSC Napoli v AS Roma - Serie A According to Tutto Napoli, Koulibaly's agent has...

Chelsea have 'reached an agreement' to sign Trabzonspor goalkeeper Uğurcan Çakır, according to reports in Turkey. Çakır is one of the most highly rated goalkeeper outside of Europe's top leagues and has been capped twice by his country. Cakir has made 40 appearances for Trabzonspor this season The 24-year-old was reportedly subject to a shock €24m (£21.5m) bid from Liverpool in January, while he has also been linked with Tottenham and Leicester in the past. Now, it appears that Chelsea have...

Keen to bolster their own pockets and *cough*, 'take the club to the next level', football owners across the continent are constantly angling to increase their stadium's capacity. Sometimes this can't be achieved by a simple expansion. Sometimes an entire new stadium is required. Tottenham are the latest proponents, moving into the unimaginably named Tottenham Hotspur Stadium earlier this season. Despite all the excitement created by the shiny arena, the first season at their new home has been...

When Bournemouth achieved promotion to the Premier League in 2015, the following transfer window did little to fill Cherries fans with optimism for the following season. Eddie Howe added very few players with Premier League experience to his squad, instead opting to sign a host of Championship players and sticking with the spine of the team which saw them promoted. A number of Eddie Howe's big-money signings have failed to deliver To the surprise of many, the unconventional approach worked...

Despite being engulfed in off the field issues - from contracts being allowed to run down to behind the scenes disharmony - Burnley have been one of the most successful sides since football returned in June. This would likely not have been predicted after they were beaten 5-0 by Manchester City in their first game back, but since their thumping at the Etihad, the Clarets have taken 11 points from a possible 15 and conceded just twice. Sean Dyche's side battled to a draw with champions...

Brentford’s form post-lockdown has been nothing short of phenomenal. The Bees have taken maximum points from all of their six games since the restart, notching 14 goals and conceding just twice. The run has seen Thomas Frank’s side give themselves an outside chance of automatic promotion - though Leeds and West Brom still look well set for a return to the top tier. Should Brentford fail to achieve promotion – whether it be through the play-offs or automatically – the Premier League vultures...

When Paul Pogba rejoined Manchester United in 2016, he explained how moving back to Old Trafford would help him achieve all the aims he has set himself for his career. Winning trophies, playing at the top against the very best for a club with a clear identity and direction, etc. But this hasn't been the case. Yes, United went on to win the Europa League in 2017, but winning such competition wasn't exactly what the world's most expensive player at the time signed up for. No, he wanted Europe's...

ell Manchester United have 'entered the race' to sign Ben Chilwell, with Manchester City and Chelsea still both interested in the Leicester defender. The England international has been ever present for Brendan Rodgers side this season, making 33 appearances and helping the Foxes mount an unlikely Champions League qualification bid. Ben Chilwell is a product of Leicester's youth academy His performances have long seen him linked with a move away from the King Power Stadium with Manchester City...
