Liverpool returned to winning ways in the Premier League after beating AFC Bournemouth 3-0 at Anfield on Saturday. Luis Duiz scored twice within the space of two minutes and Darwin Nunez added another as the Reds picked up all three points. Michael Owen and Jermain Defoe praised Nunez, who scored a fabulous goal in the first half. The Uruguayan striker curled the ball past Kepa Arrizabalaga to make it 3-0 before the break.

Arne Slot insists Liverpool have “a lot of confidence” in Darwin Nunez as he detailed the areas where the striker can improve after a frustrating start to his campaign. Nunez has been limited to four substitute appearances since Slot took over from Jurgen Klopp in the Anfield dugout during the summer with Diogo Jota the preferred central striker. Including the end of last season, the Uruguay international has started only one of Liverpool’s last 12 matches and has scored just once since his dramatic late winner at Nottingham Forest in early March. Slot, though, is adamant that despite the lack…

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…

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.

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…
