Everton finally clinched their first Premier League win of the season with a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace, thanks to Dwight McNeil’s two quick goals early in the second half. Captain, Marc Guehi had given Palace an early lead in the 10th minute, but Everton responded strongly after the break. McNeil’s first goal came just over a minute into the second half (47th), curling a shot from 25 yards. His second followed soon after, capitalising on a cross from Jack Harrison (54th). 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. Dwight McNeil’s second-half double did not just salvage Everton’s first victory of the season but changed the whole mood around Goodison…
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 left-back Andy Robertson was forced off in the closing stages of Saturday’s 2-1 win over Wolves after a clash with Carlos Forbs but Arne Slot is not expecting bad news. Arne Slot has allayed fears over Andy Robertson’s fitness following the Liverpool defender’s substitution in the latter stages of their gritty 2-1 triumph at Wolves on Saturday. The Reds’ resilience was tested as Rayan Ait-Nouri levelled Ibrahima Konate’s opener, only for Mohamed Salah to seal the deal from the spot after Diogo Jota was hauled down inside the box. The win propelled Liverpool to the summit of the Premier…
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…
Liverpool managed yet another win in the Premier League with a 2-1 victory against Wolves, with Ryan Gravenberch once again starring. Arne Slot picking out Gravenberch for praise at full-time with the Dutch international thriving in the defensive midfield role alongside Alexis Mac Allister, with the 22-year-old looking like a new player at Liverpool this season. Having already been compared to Patrick Vieira by Jamie Carragher earlier this season, Gravenberch looks set to become one of Liverpool’s key players this season under Slot, who has finally got a tune out of the former Bayern Munich man. And Owen Hargreaves has…
Mohamed Salah equalled Sergio Aguero’s Premier League tally with his goal in Liverpool’s 2-1 win at Wolves, with only five players now recording more. Salah netted the winner from the spot after Diogo Jota was hauled down to secure the Reds a hairy victory at Molineux. It was the Egyptian’s fifth goal of the campaign in all competitions, pulling him level with Luis Diaz as Liverpool’s top scorers so far this season. In the Premier League, that finish made it four goals and four assists in six games for Salah, who is averaging a goal contribution every 66.63 minutes. Overall…
It wasn’t pretty, but Liverpool moved to the top of the Premier League table by seeing off Wolves on Saturday. Even though Gary O’Neil’s side are sitting bottom of the Premier League table and without a win, they made sure Arne Slot’s men had to seriously work for their points. For large parts, it was a pretty flat 45 minutes, but just before the break, Ibrahima Konate headed Liverpool into the lead following a wicked cross from Diogo Jota. But then the away side gifted Wolves a goal, following a mistake from Konate, before Mohamed Salah netted from the spot…
