After some good play from Gedeon Kalulu and Romain Faivre on the right flank, the latter was able to drill the into theRead More →

[ad_1] Manchester City are well on course to win a third successive Premier League title after they beat Fulham 2-1 on Sunday. The reigning champions have jumped above Arsenal back into first place and still retain a game in hand over the Gunners. City’s weekend got off to a perfect start when they were awarded a penalty after 90 seconds, which Erling Haaland duly converted – his record 34th in the Premier League and 50th in total this season.

The flaxen-haired Norwegian needed less than three minutes to rifle a low penalty past Fulham’s Bernd Leno in Manchester City’s next match on Sunday afternoon. Figures had already been hastily scrawled over by Haaland before he evenRead More →

[ad_1] La Liga’s title race may not be heading towards a dramatic conclusion in 2022/23, but the battle to be top scorer and Pichichi Trophy winner is raging between two of the great strikers of the modern game.
