[ad_1] Son Heung-min admitted Tottenham’s comeback against Manchester United on Thursday night was fuelled by “anger” from being 2-0 down just days after being mauled 6-1 at Newcastle United. Cristian Stellini’s four-game stint as interim boss ended after Spurs fell 5-0 down at St James’ Park in just 21 minutes, with Ryan Mason asked to take charge of the team until the end of the season in a bid to turn things around. Mason looked on glumly as Spurs fell 2-0 down against United, thanks to goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford, but a much-improved second half performance saw Spurs claim a 2-2 drawRead More →

[ad_1] FROM TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM – Godspeed to any person responsible for trying to predict patterns from Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.

[ad_1] FROM CAMP NOU – Emma Hayes knew it was always going to take something miraculous for Chelsea to topple Barcelona at a roaring Camp Nou and, despite best efforts, fell victim to what can only be described as the greatness of the Catalans.

And despite the prospective return of Alexia Putellas, left to to wait another day, Barcelona’s sheer depth, control and dominance was too much for Chelsea to grapple with and they bowed out of the ChampionsRead More →

[ad_1] Barcelona have reached a third straight Women’s Champions League final after seeing off Chelsea in a 2-1 aggregate win in the semi-final, with a 1-1 draw in front of 72,000 fans at Camp Nou on Thursday night enough to get the job done. Caroline Graham Hansen’s goals in either leg proved to be the difference in the tie. Fellow Norwegian Guro Reiten pulled one back for Chelsea that made the second leg competitive until the end, but the better team over 180 minutes probably went through in the end. Chelsea set up with five at the back, seemingly with the intention of containing aRead More →
