Liverpool beat RB Leipzig 1-0 in the Champions League on Wednesday evening. Darwin Nunez’s first-half tap-in secured a hard-fought win to maintain Liverpool’s 100 per cent record in Europe this season. The Reds have also beaten AC Milan and Bologna in Europe’s elite competition this term, conceding just a single goal. Liverpool’s attentions will now turn to Sunday’s huge Premier League showdown away at Arsenal (4.30pm). With a win, Arne Slot’s team could go seven points clear of the Gunners and open up a significant gap – even at such an early stage of the season. It has been an…
The last time Lutsharel Geertruida was this close to Liverpool’s players, he was sat in the away end at West Ham United back in April. That was sufficient for tongues to wag the right-back was about to follow his Feyenoord boss Arne Slot to Anfield, although the Holland international ended up instead heading to the Bundesliga with RB Leipzig. And he will be quite happy not to again encounter the Reds, and in particular compatriot Cody Gakpo, any time soon. A booking midway through the first half for clattering the left winger highlighted not only a difficult evening for Geertruida…
Marco Rose pointed the finger at his RB Leipzig players after they slipped to Champions League defeat at home to Liverpool. Darwin Nunez’s first-half goal was sufficient to give the Reds a 1-0 victory in Germany on Wednesday night and continue their 100% start to the competition. By contrast, Leipzig have lost all three of their games and were outplayed for lengthy periods by Arne Slot’s side before being unable to capitalise on several bouts of pressure during the closing stages.And Rose admits the Bundesliga outfit were found wanting in several aspects of their game. “We conceded a goal with…
Liverpool maintained their perfect record in the Champions League this season as they beat RB Leipzig 1-0 at the Red Bull Arena on Wednesday evening. The Reds found themselves ahead at half-time as Darwin Nunez opened his European account for the season and the striker was unfortunate not to be awarded a penalty just before half-time.Both sides had chances to score after the break but Liverpool’s defence held firm to secure a deserved and hard-fought victory in eastern Germany. Leipzig were the brighter side in the opening stages and were first to fire at goal. Amadou Haidara forced Caoimhin Kelleher…
Former U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu has pulled out of the Hong Kong Open after the Briton said on Wednesday that she has still not recovered from a foot injury that had forced her to skip four other tournaments in recent weeks. Raducanu, who is now ranked 55 in the world after reaching a career-high 10th in 2022, has not played since she retired midway through her quarterfinal match at the Korea Open last month. The 21-year-old, who had shown signs of discomfort in her previous match against Yue Yuan, struggled from the outset against the World No. 13. Raducanu…
Arsenal were unlucky not to have William Saliba on the pitch for the whole of their eventual 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth, says former Premier League referee Mark Halsey. The Frenchman was sent off just 30 minutes into the clash after a VAR review. Initially only handed a yellow card by Rob Jones, Saliba was given a red card for the denial of a goalscoring opportunity. Racing back to defend following Leandro Trossad’s poor pass, Saliba brought down Evanilson as he went to chase down the ball. The decision went down poorly with the travelling away fans, who had already seen…
Arsenal have been handed a surprisingly positive Riccardo Calafiori injury update after he was taken off with a knee issue during the Champions League win against Shakhtar Donetsk. Mikel Arteta is already dealing with numerous injury concerns and now there is significant doubt surrounding Calafiori. Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber missed Tuesday evening’s victory with club captain Martin Odegaard again absent because of an ankle injury. Following that triple absence and the new concern over Calafiori, Arteta provided an immediate injury update following the Shakhtar clash. “I don’t think so [Odegaard fit to play Liverpool]. Martin is frustrated and desperate…
The Toffees brought in seven new faces in the summer, but only Iliman Ndiaye has really had a huge impact on things so far this season for Everton. Interestingly, Ndiaye has already been compared to Steven Pienaar from his time at Goodison with the way he wears his socks and his dribbling ability. Jake O’Brien is a player that fans have been desperate to see on Merseyside, but Sean Dyche just hasn’t fancied him much so far. He’s played just 26 minutes of football in the Premier League and likely won’t get a chance soon due to the rise in…
Arne Slot went public with the brief that he set Darwin Nunez in Liverpool’s Champions League clash against RB Leipzig on Wednesday night, and the Uruguayan duly came good on the wishes of his boss. Prior to the match in Germany, the Reds’ head coach told TNT Sports that he wanted to see the 25-year-old ‘scoring’, with our number 9 having found the net only once this season coming into the fixture. He doubled his tally for the campaign with the only goal against Marco Rose’s side to make it three wins out of three for LFC in Europe, applying…
An Everton player once subbed himself on during an FA Cup semi-final match, and his manager could not believe what he was seeing. The Toffees faced Tottenham in the 1995 FA Cup semi-final at Leeds’ Elland Road. With the score at 2-1 in Everton’s favour, the Blues were a mere 19 minutes away from their first FA Cup final since 1989 – when they were beaten 3-2 by city rivals Liverpool. Forward Paul Rideout was struggling with injury when, in a bizarre turn of events, their backup striker subbed himself on despite manager Joe Royle being unaware. Having endured an…
