Carlos Alcaraz and his desire to compete against Sinner: “It makes me a better player” Jannik Sinner is having a memorable year, both positively and negatively. One could say that his 2024 has been a true rollercoaster. He began by winning his first Grand Slam in Australia, and months later, he climbed to the top of the ATP ranking, becoming the first Italian to achieve this feat. However, everything went downhill from there without brakes. First, he missed the Paris Olympic Games due to tonsillitis, and weeks later, his doping case erupted. It was Sinner himself who made this scandal…
Referee Anthony Taylor reportedly believed that Arsenal’s Jakub Kiwior, in the lead-up to Gabriel Jesus’ ruled out winner in their 2-2 draw with Premier League title-chasing Liverpool on Sunday afternoon, had fouled midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai – and that’s why he chalked the goal off. The home contingent – alongside the likes of Mikel Merino, Ethan Nwaneri and Leandro Trossard – was sent into raptures as they thought they had nicked all three points from Liverpool’s grasp at the death. Sky Sports’ Peter Drury was even halted in his tracks given the air of confusion over why Taylor blew for a…
Pep Guardiola believes Manchester City are in a battle to defend their Premier League crown after Liverpool battled to a 2-2 draw with Arsenal at the Emirates. The champions, who also played out a draw with title rivals Arsenal last month, have had to dig deep to beat struggling Wolves and Southampton in their past two outings. They required an injury-time John Stones goal to win at Molineux and Saturday’s 1-0 triumph over Saints, courtesy of an early Erling Haaland strike, was a laboured affair. Guardiola does not expect things to get any easier, particularly with many opponents adopting defensive…
Trent Alexander-Arnold attracted some criticism with his latest display at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Liverpool did, however, secure a share of the spoils thanks in large part to his contributions against Arsenal. The No.66’s first-half corner was buried in the back of the net by a towering Virgil van Dijk. Though Darwin Nunez played the crucial final ball in the box to assist Mo Salah’s equaliser, it was the fullback’s lofted ball from before the halfway line that found the Uruguayan in space. Mark Goldbridge felt Trent Alexander-Arnold’s performance for most of the match left much to be…

Arne Slot is a rather mild-mannered man but it seems that a few months in the Premier League has tested his patience a lot, leading to a yellow card against Arsenal. Speaking about the decision, the Dutchman said: “Last time [I got booked] I said I completely deserve the yellow card, at this time I don’t think I did. “Because I said after so many times that they were on the on the floor, which can happen in football I don’t blame them for that, but they always fell down after they had ball possession and that took the energy…
Inconsistent. Infuriating. Irrepressible. All three words might have been used to describe Darwin Nunez over the course of his Liverpool career so far. Against Arsenal, though, the Uruguayan turned in a performance that should absolutely put to bed debate about whether he has the credentials to be a major influence for the Reds this term. Even before the trip to the Emirates, it had been a good week for the striker. After being called off the bench to replace the injured Diogo Jota against Chelsea last weekend, he put in a mammoth shift to help Liverpool over the line at…
Liverpool earned a 2-2 draw against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. Mikel Arteta believes Arsenal’s first-half performance was ‘total domination’ as they were held to a draw against Liverpool. The Gunners were unable to make their pressure count as they had to settle for a 2-2 stalemate at the Emirates Stadium. Bukayo Saka and Mikel Merino bagged for the home side before the interval. Arsenal put Liverpool under plenty of pressure in the opening period, but could not make it count, with Virgil van Dijk notching Liverpool’s equaliser before the break. And in the 81st minute, after an improved Liverpool…
Mikel Arteta has been told he’s moved away from the teachings of his mentor Pep Guardiola and is now slowly becoming the new Jose Mourinho. That’s according to Liverpool hero Jamie Carragher, who blamed the Arsenal’s negative tactics for failing to beat the Reds after drawing 2-2 at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Arteta began his coaching career working with Guardiola as an assistant to the Catalan at Manchester City, working in the role for four years. But when the chance to replace Unai Emery at Arsenal cropped up in December 2019, the Spaniard snatched it with both hands. Nearly…
Arne Slot has revealed what he told his Liverpool troops at half-time to ensure they shared the spoils against Arsenal. The Reds battled from behind on two occasions to earn a 2-2 draw at the Emirates Stadium. Liverpool were well below their best in the first half, with Bukayo Saka opening the scoring for the Gunners inside nine minutes. And while Virgil van Dijk levelled for the visitors nine minutes later, Mikel Merino deservedly put Arsenal back in front before the interval. But Liverpool made improvements in the second period and they managed to restore parity in the 81st minute…
