Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has bemoaned his side's inability to take yet another chance to climb higher in the Premier League table following Wednesday's 3-2 loss to West Ham United. A victory would have seen the Blues move into third place, ahead of Leicester City after their 2-1 defeat to Everton, but defensive errors and inconsistent finishing allowed Andriy Yarmolenko to fire home an 89th-minute winner and snatch all three points for the Hammers. Full-time. 3-2 to West Ham.#WHUCHE...

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has claimed that striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is open to signing a new contract at the Emirates Stadium. The Gabon international's current deal expires at the end of next season, but there have been huge doubts over whether he will extend. Aubameyang has proven himself as one of the world's top strikers, but the Gunners currently find themselves well behind in the race for Champions League qualification. ?? ??????? ?????? ????? ??? ??????? 1️⃣ @Aubameyang7 -...

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has warned Matteo Guendouzi he must alter his behaviour if he is to force his way back into the side. Guendouzi grabbed Neal Maupay around the neck following Arsenal's 2-1 defeat to Brighton and, although he faced no further action from the FA, he has not featured for the Gunners since. The midfielder has been left out of the Arsenal squad for their subsequent victories over Southampton, Sheffield United and most recently Norwich on Wednesday evening. Guendouzi...

Newell's Old Boys vice president Cristian D'Amico has reiterated that Lionel Messi would be more than welcome to return to the club where he began his career. Messi was part of the Newell's youth system before moving to Barcelona as a 13-year-old. Although he never played a senior game for the Argentinian side, it has often been suggested that Messi will one day return to the club for his final years. In 2019/20 however, Barcelona all but surrendered the league title as they drew 2-2 with...

Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho has claimed that he wouldn’t swap Giovani Lo Celso for Bruno Fernandes, who Spurs came close to signing before Lo Celso arrived last summer. Lo Celso was a deadline day acquisition for Spurs on loan from Real Betis in August, and has since made the £27m permanent switch to north London. Fernandes, meanwhile, came to the Premier League in January when Manchester United finally agreed a deal with Sporting CP. Spurs were close to signing Bruno Fernandes...

Chelsea don't score enough goals. Their 58 big chances missed is second only to Manchester City's 67 in the Premier League, while their tally of 532 shots is the second-highest in the league as well. To address that, Frank Lampard has already signed Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech - two of Europe's best when it comes to scoring and creating goals respectively. There's even talk of a blockbuster move for Bayer Leverkusen's Kai Havertz, which would, of course, be amazing. He's one of the best young...

Everton continued their fine form since the restart as they picked up all three points against Leicester - although they were made to work for it. The Toffees came into the game having not lost since play got back underway, while they were also yet to concede a goal. While they weren't able to keep another clean sheet, they did pick up the win to move level on points with Sheffield United. FT.

I know it feels like a lifetime ago, but close your eyes and try to remember just how good Alexis Sanchez used to be. The Chilean star was a ball of energy, industry and determination, with a spark and talent that could simply win matches on its own. The winger grew into his Arsenal career, posting the best numbers in his final full season with the club. That was 24 league goals and five assists, if you were wondering. Those statistics deserve extra credit when you consider just how average...

After being the name on everyone's lips in the summer of 2017, Andrea Belotti's big money move to the Premier League never materialised and he's since become somewhat of a forgotten man. Since his stellar 28 goal season for Torino in the 2016/1, however, things have gone slowly downhill for the club. Belotti was rewarded with permanent captaincy for his loyalty to Torino ahead of the following campaign, but that loyalty has since seen his chance of a big move fade away, while his club now face...

Win Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang starred as Arsenal picked up all three points in a dominant 4-0 win over Daniel Farke's Norwich on Wednesday evening to move up to seventh in the Premier League. Both sides came close to an opener early on, with Aubameyang forcing a save from Tim Krul before Canaries centre back Ben Godfrey hit the woodwork from over 30 yards out. Arsenal soon opened the scoring as Krul calamitously gave the ball away to Aubameyang, with the Gabon international slotting into an...

Win West Ham stunned Chelsea in the Premier League on Wednesday night after coming from a goal down to secure a stunning 3-2 win that significantly boosts their survival hopes. A first 35 minutes passed by without much incident until Tomas Soucek bundled home from a scrappy corner. Sadly for the home side, VAR cut their celebrations short after a lengthy check harshly ruled Antonio to have been offside despite not obviously interfering with play. Salt was rubbed into the wound just moments...

Chelsea have not messed about. Wanting to make up for lost time (y'know, that transfer ban stuff) they've dipped their golden fingers into the market twice already with the big-money additions of Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner. Around 83 million pounds sterling worth, to be slightly more specific. With those additions, the key question to emerge is just how Frank Lampard is going to squeeze them into his starting lineup without heavily disrupting the status quo. ? "So when do Ziyech and Werner...

On June 30th 2020, Lionel Messi joined a very exclusive club. With a delicate Panenka penalty against Atletico Madrid, the six time Ballon d'Or winner became only the seventh footballer to score 700 professional goals. With this extraordinary tally, it is difficult to narrow it down, but here are Lionel Messi's ten most memorable goals. 1. vs Albacete (La Liga, 04/05) A photo that will go down in history, as Messi celebrates his first goal with Barcelona legend Ronaldinho Only 17 at the time,...

Manchester United have confirmed that Angel Gomes has left the club after turning down the offer of a new contract. The 19-year-old has been heavily linked with leaving Old Trafford in search of first team opportunities, having made only ten senior appearances for the Red Devils since making his debut in 2017.

We all love a footballing enigma. Someone who you can't quite wrap your head around. Is he actually good? Is he overrated? Is everything going against him? Robinho slots into that mould rather fluidly. However, at the turn of the century, everything was going for him. Robinho lifts the league title with Santos Robinho was billed not only as one of the greatest prospects of his era, but indeed one of the most exciting ever. That can, admittedly, get quite tiresome. We're used to the normal...

Manchester United have confirmed that Alexis Sanchez and Chris Smalling will spend the remainder of the 2019/20 season on loan at Inter and Roma respectively. Both loan deals were due to expire at the end of June, which would ordinarily have been after the end of the season. But temporary extensions until the first week of August will allow each player to remain on loan until the end of the Serie A season. Smalling has impressed since joining Roma on loan With both Inter and Roma still in the...

ies Newcastle United made it five games unbeaten with a convincing 4-1 victory over a relegation threatened Bournemouth side at the Vitality Stadium on Wednesday evening. The home side went into the game needing a win as their battle to survive relegation continued, yet were architects of their own downfall as Jefferson Lerma gifted Dwight Gayle an opening within five minutes, before Sean Longstaff's impressive finish doubled Newcastle's lead prior to the break. Joshua King had a goal rightly...

ints Everton held on to overcome Leicester 2-1 at Goodison Park on Wednesday, despite a brighter second half display from the Foxes. The Foxes looked to dominate the ball in the early stages, but it was the hosts who struck first. Anthony Gordon raced down the line before looking up and fizzing in a low cross, which Richarlison connected with beautifully on ten minutes. FT.

Very few would have predicted that Bruno Fernandes would have had this much of a positive impact on Manchester United so soon after joining. Last summer, the Portuguese midfielder was persistently linked with a number of clubs, most notably United - but a move didn't materialised. Indeed, one of last summer's longest-running transfer sagas was set to drag on until the next window. That was until Sporting CP announced in November of 2019 that he had put pen to paper on a new contract. It...
