It was late, very late indeed, but Arsenal got the job done against Leicester City on Saturday afternoon. In all fairness, the Gunners should have had the points wrapped up long before the two goals in injury-time sealed the deal.

Manager Sean Dyche expressed relief, noting, “It’s great to see the resilience and spirit of the lads after…
Everton’s Premier League game against Crystal Palace on Saturday provided an insight into why football is so often called a game of two halves. Behind at half-time to Marc Guehi’s opener following a poor showing from their side, Everton supporters jeered their side off the pitch. By full-time, they were dancing in the stands, not only with the result but in the knowledge that an impending takeover of the club can provide hope both on and off the pitch.

Tennis pundit Mark Petchey has hit out at the “false narrative” that is being peddled in the ongoing saga involving Jannik Sinner’s failed drug tests, insisting “there is ZERO scandal in the Sinner case”. Sinner twice tested positive for the banned clostebol in March and was hit with provisional suspensions on both occasions, but his lawyers twice launched successful appeals and he was allowed to continue playing. There was no public announcement and the issue only came to light in August when the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) cleared the Italian of any wrongdoing as they declared he bore “no…
It wasn’t pretty but job done. Liverpool moved to the top of the early Premier League table with a hard-earned 2-1 triumph away to Wolves on Saturday evening. Ibrahima Konate headed in his first Premier League goal just before half-time, but the Reds needed a penalty from Mohamed Salah to move a point clear at the summit after a defensive mix-up allowed Rayan Ait-Nouri to net an equaliser for the home team. It made for an testing occasion at Molineux. And here’s how the national media viewed a solid result for Arne Slot’s side. “Wolves could tell that Slot’s team…

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has enjoyed a strong start to the season, but he’s not the only one to shine since Arne Slot stepped into the Anfield dugout. Michael Owen reckons Ibrahima Konate has the potential to reach Virgil van Dijk-like performance levels should he stay at Liverpool for years to come. Konate has now been with the Reds since 2021 and has gradually progressed as a player during that period – making a particular mark of late. Learning from the best in the business has certainly aided the development of the Frenchman, who remains some away from Van…
Liverpool has started the season in excellent form and Alexis Mac Allister is enjoying the Reds’ controlled approach under Arne Slot. Alexis Mac Allister said he ‘loves’ Arne Slot’s tactical approach to football and admitted he is enjoying just how much of the ball he is seeing due to the Dutchman’s possession-based approach. Slot has added an element of control to the Reds’ game after the heavy metal football that previous manager Jurgen Klopp favored, and the Reds have enjoyed an excellent start to the season as a result, winning seven of their eight matches in all competitions. Liverpool won…
