Liverpool returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a hard-earned home victory over Bournemouth. A brace from Luis Diaz and a wonder strike by Darwin Nunez – all in the first half – secured the Reds a 3-0 triumph. The result continued the momentum of the midweek Champions League win at AC Milan and was the perfect response to last weekend’s shock loss to Nottingham Forest. Caoimhin Kelleher 8 Dallied in possession on one occasion but decent stops from Semenyo and Kluivert first half. Strong claims second half and excellent save from Sinisterra and to prevent Alexander-Arnold own…
For the second weekend in succession, the gaps began to appear around Anfield as home supporters realised there was little chance of additional time altering the outcome. This time, though, there was none of the disgruntlement and disappointment that greeted the final whistle of a week previous as Liverpool fans departed delighted after witnessing an afternoon of reassurance and encouragement. So continue the attempts of Arne Slot’s side to prove the shock home loss to Nottingham Forest was nothing more than a minor bump in the road during the early tenure of the Dutchman. Certainly, the Reds boss can have…
Arne Slot confessed that he thought Darwin Nunez had made the wrong decision before breaking his Liverpool goal duck for the season. The striker was handed a maiden start of the campaign against AFC Bournemouth. Nunez had been behind Diogo Jota in the pecking order in the opening five fixtures and was limited to substitute appearances. But Nunez took his chance and displayed his quality by putting the gloss on Liverpool’s 3-0 victory at Anfield. In the 37th minute, he linked up with Mo Salah and burst into the Cherries’ box before curling home a sublime left-footed finish via the…
The co-creator of the Laver Cup has revealed that he hopes to “work something out” and create a women’s version of the tournament. The Ryder Cup-style team event is the brainchild of Roger Federer and his agent, Tony Godsick. And Godsick confirmed they aren’t looking to add WTA players to the existing format but instead hope to create an all-women’s version. Off the back of his comments, Express Sport has taken a look at what a female Laver Cup would look like. If and when a female Laver Cup does come to fruition, the teams would arguably be more tight…
The CEO of the Laver Cup has addressed Jannik Sinner’s absence after organisers failed to entice the world No. 1 to Berlin. The two-time Grand Slam champion has never played in the Roger Federer-created team tournament. But the Laver Cup bosses are hoping that will change after recently holding talks with Sinner. The Ryder Cup-style event has always drawn in big names, especially when Federer was still playing and could represent Team Europe. The Swiss star has formed powerhouse doubles partnerships with his rivals Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic over the years in the tournament. For Federer’s retirement in 2022,…
Everton boss Sean Dyche feels that there are positives to take from the Toffees’ 1-1 draw away at Leicester City. Dyche took his side into the Premier League clash hunting their first three points of the season and they went ahead in the game through Iliman Ndiaye with just 12 minutes on the clock. A heavy downpour and thunderstorms made conditions difficult after the opening period and Leicester managed to level when Stephy Mavididi struck in the 73rd minute and it ended 1-1. That denied Everton their first win of the new league season, but Dyche is still taking what…
John Barnes was offered to Manchester United before he made the move to Liverpool in 1987, with Sir Alex Ferguson turning down the opportunity to sign the England icon. Liverpool legend John Barnes has opened up about a regret Sir Alex Ferguson may harbour over not snapping him up for Manchester United. A talent revered across England, Barnes’ early days were shaped at Stowe Boys Club before he kicked off an illustrious senior career at Sudbury Court. It wasn’t long before Watford recognised his prowess in 1981, with Barnes dazzling as a left midfielder, boasting 64 goals in 234 outings…
Liverpool secured a routine 3-0 win against Bournemouth in the Premier League as they put their disappointing 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest behind them at Anfield in some style. A first-half brace from Luis Diaz and a fantastic left-footed strike from Darwin Nunez in his first start of the season spearheaded the Reds to all three points. Speaking after the game, Andy Robertson was full of praise for Liverpool’s two goalscorers as they produced a clinical showing in front of their own fans. Andy Robertson lauds Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez Diaz broke the deadlock as he skipped past Bournemouth…
The Reds bounced back from a really poor result in the league last week by beating AC Milan in Europe on Tuesday. But having seen their perfect league start ruined by Nottingham Forest, only a win would do as the Cherries came to town. It was not the best start for Liverpool, though, with Antoine Semenyo slotting home past Caoimhin Kelleher after just three minutes. There was a sense of Deja vu to the Semenyo goal; the same player put Bournemouth ahead at the same stage of the match last season. However, there was a sting in the tail for…
Liverpool enjoyed an excellent first-half against Bournemouth on Saturday. The Reds needed a reaction having been surprisingly beaten by Nottingham Forest last weekend. A win over AC Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday was the perfect immediate response, but Liverpool still needed to bounce back in the Premier League. The Reds did not start especially well, with Caoimhin Kelleher needing to make a big save with the scores at 0-0. But after surviving that scare – and seeing Bournemouth have a goal chalked off for offside – Liverpool quickly went through the gears at Anfield. Luis Diaz hit a…
