Arne Slot saluted “extraordinary” Mohamed Salah after another superb performance helped Liverpool go eight points clear in the Premier League with a 5-0 drubbing of West Ham United. And the Reds boss has joked that the opening of the January transfer window might help ease the amount of questions he is asked about the forward’s ongoing contract impasse. Salah, who scored his 20th goal of the campaign before setting up Diogo Jota with a sublime second-half assist on Sunday, can speak to clubs outside of England from New Year’s Day about moving as a free agent next summer and a…
Liverpool moved eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table with a dominant 5-0 thrashing of West Ham United on Sunday. The Reds extended their unbeaten run to 23 matches as they ran riot at the London Stadium. Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah gave Liverpool a convincing lead at the break, before Trent Alexander-Arnold and Diogo Jota wrapped up the scoring. The only blemish for Arne Slot’s men was the sight of Joe Gomez limping off with a hamstring injury in the first half. And with the Reds having still only lost once under their…
Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table on Sunday evening with a comfortable 5-0 win over West Ham. Arne Slot’s side scored three in the space of 15 minutes in the first half at the London Stadium with Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah all finding the back of the net. Trent Alexander-Arnold and substitute Diogo Jota then added a further two after the break. Liverpool are now eight points clear of Nottingham Forest in second, although title contenders Arsenal and Chelsea can leapfrog the Midlands club with victories in their respective games this…
The new, highly anticipated 2025 tennis season has just begun, and the duel will still be between the two of them: between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner (much will also depend on any ban that the Italian will receive after the Clostebol doping scandal). Vincenzo Santopadre, former coach of Matteo Berrettini, is convinced that 2025 will still be the year of the Spaniard and the Italian. After a season dominated by the two young champions, in which the two tennis players shared a good part of the most important tournaments, for the Italian coach the new year will still be…
“I’m the kind of player who thinks there is a lot of tournaments during the year, mandatory tournaments and probably during the next few years gonna be even more tournaments, more mandatory tournaments,” the 21-year-old said. “So, I mean, probably they are going to kill us in some way. Right now they are showing up a lot of injuries because of the ball, because of the calendar, because of a lot of things.” Alcaraz will begin his 2025 season at the Australian Open, which will run from January 12-26. The four-time Grand Slam winner’s best previous result at the Melbourne…
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner took control of the ATP tour in 2024, making a difference especially in Grand Slam tournaments. The Italian ace lifted the trophy at the Australian Open and US Open, while the Spaniard became the youngest player ever to win Roland Garros and Wimbledon in the same year. The world number 1 had an impressive regularity last season, collecting 73 victories and suffering only six defeats, despite the fact that the doping case caused him a lot of stress from March onwards. Three of Jannik’s six losses in 2024 came against Carlitos, who reached an impressive…
On The Athletic, magazine of the New York Times, Matthew Futterman and Charlie Eccleshare have written an editorial analyzing the possible consequences of Jannik Sinner’s Clostebol doping issue on the world of tennis. A consequence that according to them could be important for men’s tennis, so much so that the two journalists have underlined how a possible two-year ban could have consequences for a decade on men’s tennis. “The disqualification would be a hard blow for the ATP Tour. A two-year disqualification, on the other hand, could have consequences for a decade, not only for Jannik but for the entire…
Nick Kyrgios says the high-profile doping cases involving Grand Slam winners Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek are “disgusting” for tennis. Italian men’s world number one Sinner still faces the threat of a possible suspension after he twice tested positive for an anabolic steroid in March. Swiatek, also 23, served a one-month suspension after testing positive for a banned heart medication in August, when the Pole was women’s world number one. “I just think that it’s been handled horrifically in our sport,” said Australian Kyrgios, 29. “Two world number ones both getting done for doping is disgusting for our sport. “It’s…
In a stunning turn of events, Liverpool’s new manager Arne Slot has managed to breathe new life into the same squad that struggled under Jürgen Klopp’s leadership last season. The Dutch tactician’s subtle yet effective tactical tweaks have transformed the Reds into a formidable force, leaving fans and pundits alike wondering what sparked this dramatic turnaround. Slot’s appointment as Klopp’s successor raised eyebrows among Liverpool supporters, but the 43-year-old has quickly won them over with his astute tactical decisions. By making minor adjustments to the team’s shape and approach, Slot has unlocked the full potential of his players, who are…
WHAT MOHAMED SALAH SAID He told Sky Sports: “It was a funny thing because before the game, the guys in the dressing room they said ‘Remember what happened last year?’. Virgil (van Dijk) started it. We had a laugh about it. It was not a nice moment here last year but I’m glad this one was better.” THE BIGGER PICTURE As 2024 draws to a close, Liverpool are in a fantastic position as a quadruple is once again on the cards. They are eight points clear at the top of the Premier League, are unbeaten in the Champions League, are…
