Liverpool moved to the top of the Premier League table on Saturday night after a hard-fought 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. It means the Reds’ defeat to Nottingham Forest earlier this month remains the only blot on Arne Slot’s copybook since succeeding Jurgen Klopp. Slot’s side were far from their best at the Molineux but returned to Merseyside with maximum points after goals from Ibrahima Konate and Mohamed Salah either side of Ait Nouri’s equaliser earlier in the second half.Draws for Manchester City and Aston Villa over the weekend ensured the Reds will start the next round of fixtures at…
Ibrahima Konate was pleased with Liverpool’s determination in Saturday’s win at Wolverhampton Wanderers but knows improvement is necessary going forward. A 61st-minute penalty from Mohamed Salah at Molineux clinched a 2-1 victory that moved Arne Slot’s Reds to the top of the Premier League. Konate had broken the deadlock in first-half stoppage time, before his opener was cancelled out by a finish from Rayan Ait-Nouri not long after the interval. Assessing the game when speaking to Liverpoolfc.com afterwards, the centre-half said: “Today was a big fight against Wolves. The most important thing today for us was to take the three…
Arsenal secured a dramatic 4-2 victory over Premier League newcomers Leicester City on Saturday, but the match was much tighter than the scoreline suggests. Despite an early lead through first-half goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, the Gunners were forced to fight for the three points after a Leicester comeback. Arsenal appeared to be in control after a dominant first half, with several chances to extend their lead. However, Leicester defender James Justin’s second-half brace shocked the Emirates crowd, levelling the score and leaving the Gunners’ faithful on edge. The game was ultimately decided in stoppage time when Leicester’s…
Arnaut Danjuma, the ex-Villarreal forward who spent last season on loan at Everton in the Premier League, says he would consider a move to Liverpool if the opportunity ever came up. Danjuma has been tentatively linked with a transfer move to Anfield in the past but he made little impact at Goodison Park. He hasn’t really lived up to expectations since signing for Villarreal for $28m (£21m/€25m) from then-Championship side Bournemouth.Speaking to ESPN Netherlands program De Voetbalkantine (translated by FC Update), Danjuma, who now plays for Girona in La Liga, admitted it would be hard to turn down the Reds.…
The Italian lost the 400 ATP points and the prize money ($325,000) he got by getting into semifinals of the tournament, which he lost precisely to Alcaraz in two sets. However, he didn’t get any suspension and was able to keep playing all year. Sinner, who is set to meet Jiri Lehecka Monday in his next match in China, released a statement expressing his disappointment on WADA’s decision to appeal the ITIA. “Over the past few months and throughout this process there have been three separate hearings in each case confirming my innocence,” he wrote. The Italian explained that after…
It seemed like Jannik Sinner’s doping case was left behind after the Italian won the 2024 US Open. However, the World Anti Doping Agency (WADA) re-opened the case after considering that the World No 1 needs to be suspended for 1 or 2 years. The news has shaken the tennis world once again with Carlos Alcaraz also weighing in the case. “It isn’t a good sign for tennis, in general,” said Alcaraz about WADA’s appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), after his 6-1, 6-2 win against Tallon Griekspoor at the China Open. “It seemed like the case…
Failure to sign a natural defensive midfielder in the summer transfer window has not haunted Liverpool as yet as they find themselves on top of the Premier League. Gravenberch has been top class in the No.6 role and Endo is an able cover but the veteran is past his prime. The fixtures are expected to get harder and the Reds do need a deep lying midfielder, who can properly replace a world class star like Fabinho. Liverpool were unable to land Zubimendi in the summer and are now eyeing alternatives and the name of Joey Veerman is on the radar.…
Ryan Gravenberch has perhaps been the story of this early season. The Dutchman has been a revelation in the defensive midfield position under new manager Arne Slot, pacifying Liverpool’s failure to sign top target Martin Zubimendi in the summer. The player received the Man of the Match award for his performance against Wolves yesterday – much to the chagrin of teammate Ibrahima Konaté – and cut an understated when asked how he felt about his season so far. “Of course, this season I want to show myself again. I think I’m [going] in the right way. I have to keep…
Liverpool star Mohamed Salah’s future at Anfield has been the subject of conversation for quite some time. The Egyptian attacker, who has helped Liverpool lead the Premier League standings this season, faces an uncertain future at the club with his contract expiring at the end of the season. Salah has been linked with a move away from Liverpool with Saudi Arabian clubs eyeing him to make him the face of football in the Middle East while Paris Saint-Germain have also been linked with the attacker. Football pundit Gabriel Agbonlahor claimed on talkSPORT last week that the Liverpool attacker is going…
Despite a month passing since the deadline of the summer window, transfer links continue to surface involving Liverpool. This is mostly to do with the uncertainty around the futures of Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Mohamed Salah. The trio are all at risk of leaving on free transfers next summer after entering the final year of their current contracts. The latest rumour however, if it does come to fruition, wouldn’t prove to be a direct placement for any of them. A CaughtOffside report suggests Darwin Nunez still has the backing of new manager Arne Slot, but it’s felt that…
