[ad_1] Scoring a goal is an inherently singular outcome. There can only be one name scrawled onto the scoresheet for each euphoric event. Yet, few goals are purely solitary in their creation. There’s an argument to be made that every touch in the build-up to a goal is worthy of recognition but only recently has the final pass, the assist, been recognised as significant. In the elite realm of Premier League football, a clear supply line from one player to another is often snuffed out before the duo can dovetail to truly devastating effect. However, over the three decades of England’s rebranded top flight, thereRead More →

[ad_1] The sheer quantity of multi-million-pound flesh at Chelsea is mind-boggling – and a logistical nightmare. After an absurdly extravagant January transfer window, Graham Potter was forced to field a 9v9 training match running concurrently with the standard 11v11 session just to ensure everyone had something to do. Supposedly, some of the club’s cherished assets were also forced to squat on the floor at team meetings due to the lack of chairs for the bloated squad. Four seats opened up on the Chelsea bench shortly before the hour mark when Frank Lampard made the call to draw upon his intimidating squad depth as the BluesRead More →

[ad_1] Arsenal will have to face West Ham United on Sunday without one of their key players in Oleksandr Zinchenko. The versatile Ukrainian has proved to be one of the signings of the season after making the switch from Manchester City last summer, reuniting with Mikel Arteta in north London. He has made the left-back spot his own and has revolutionised Arsenal’s style with his ability to drift seamlessly into midfield to create overloads. But the Gunners will be without Zinchenko for their trip to West Ham this weekend having picked up a groin problem in last week’s 2-2 draw at Liverpool. Read the latestRead More →

[ad_1] A picture of Ryan Gravenberch wearing a Liverpool shirt has emerged days after being linked with a move to Anfield. Gravenberch opted to sign for Bayern Munich from Ajax last summer but has struggled for game time at the Allianz Arena, sitting firmly being Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka in the pecking order, while Konrad Laimer will join from RB Leipzig this summer. 90min reported earlier this week that Liverpool, as well as Arsenal and Manchester United, have been asked to be kept informed of developments on Gravenberch’s future should be become available for transfer.

[ad_1] Chelsea supporters let their angry feelings known towards co-owner and chairman Todd Boehly at the end of Saturday’s loss to Brighton. The Blues were battered by the Seagulls at Stamford Bridge, and though the scoreline was only 2-1 in favour of the visitors, Frank Lampard’s men were clearly second-best throughout. Brighton ended the game with 57% possession and having wracked up 2.94 expected goals compared to Chelsea’s 0.54, while the hosts’ opener came courtesy of a huge deflection off of Lewis Dunk.

[ad_1] Manchester United supporters are getting to the end of their tether as the demanded sale of their club is taking much longer than expected. The Manchester United Supporters’ Trust have publicly called out the Glazer family to finalise the potential sale of the club as soon as physically possible. The exploration of ‘strategic alternatives’ for United began in November when the Glazers – the club’s primary shareholders – announced they were weighing up the idea of selling the club. Now, five months down the line, the painstakingly long saga overseen by the Raine Group has entered its third round of bidding. Sheikh Jassim andRead More →

[ad_1] Paris Saint-Germain took a massive step towards winning the Ligue 1 title once again with a comfortable 3-1 victory over Lens on Saturday. An early red card for the second-placed visitors set up what would ultimately be a comfortable win for PSG as first-half goals from Kylian Mbappe, Vitinha and Lionel Messi saw the Parisians open up a nine-point lead at the top of the table. Lens made a nice start to the game and sparked excitement after just a few minutes, with an Angelo Fulgini cross forcing a diving save from Gianluigi Donnarumma. It took the ball-dominant PSG a little while to getRead More →

[ad_1] FROM TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM – Not for the first time this season, Tottenham went into a game with the chance to pounce on errors made by their top-four rivals. Not for the first time this season, Tottenham failed to pounce on errors made by their top-four rivals. Spurs were beaten 3-2 by struggling Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon, with Dango Ouattara scoring a 95th-minute winner soon after the maligned Arnaut Danjuma had equalised. There was a feeling of unrest even when the hosts were 1-0 up and pinning the Cherries back early on, a sense that no lead is safe. They would be proven correct.Read More →

[ad_1] From Leigh Sports Village – Manchester United are through to the Women’s FA Cup final for the first time after a late goal from cult favourite Rachel Williams sealed a narrow 3-2 win over Brighton. The Seagulls had taken a surprise first half lead through a Mary Earps own goal. Strikes from Leah Galton and Alessia Russo appeared to have put the hosts on course to win, until Danielle Carter equalised off the bench. But Williams, as she did against Reading in the WSL earlier this season, won it with only minutes remaining to send her team to Wembley. United dominated the ball fromRead More →
