[ad_1] Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson admitted that the Reds didn’t do enough to win the Merseyside derby on Saturday but insists they are getting closer to the kind of performances that will see more consistent wins come. The 0-0 draw against Everton was a fourth Premier League game this season that Liverpool haven’t won, with their only victories so far coming against Bournemouth and Newcastle – the latter only secured with a dramatic 98th minute winner. Alisson’s saves to deny Neal Maupay and Dwight McNeil were ultimately crucial in getting the Reds their draw, making it a point gained rather than two dropped in the end.Read More →

[ad_1] Chelsea had a £50m bid for Southampton teenager Romeo Lavia turned down before the transfer deadline. The young Belgian had only just the Saints from Manchester City. Chelsea also expressed interested in signing Sander Berge from Sheffield United. Despite the need to raise cash, Barcelona rejected a £30m Arsenal offer to take Ferran Torres back to the Premier League. Xavi wanted to keep the Spanish forward. Liverpool held interest in Juventus midfielder Denis Zakaria, who eventually joined Chelsea on loan, while the Reds captured Arthur instead. Carlo Ancelotti has claimed that Real Madrid never thought about signing more players after wrapping up deals forRead More →

[ad_1] Leeds United may have been on the end of a 5-2 thrashing, but United States international Brenden Aaronson still managed to make his mark against Brentford on Saturday afternoon. In a lively performance, the Philadelphia Union youth product created two chances, completed 92% of his passes, and was successful with two out of four dribbles. Aaronson was typically robust without the ball, too, making two tackles, and five recoveries. Unfortunately, a defensive collapse saw Leeds buried in London. However, Brentford boss Thomas Frank was still full of praise for Jesse Marsch’s side, even individually picking out Aaronson. “I think they’re really good,” said Frank.”WithRead More →

[ad_1] Barcelona had to weather an early storm on Saturday but eventually cruised to a comfortable 3-0 victory over struggling Sevilla. In front of a Sevilla crowd that were audible in their frustrations towards their team, Barcelona were slow to get going but ultimately spent most of the game dominating the ball, with goals from Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Eric Garcia securing a third consecutive victory for Xavi’s side. The first chance fell Sevilla’s way. Former Real Madrid man Isco combined with Ivan Rakitic to feed the Croatian through on goal, but his stabbed effort was clawed off the line by Ronald Araujo. Robert LewandowskiRead More →

[ad_1] The New York Red Bulls have announced the termination of winger Tyler Pasher’s contract on a mutual basis. The 28-year-old only became a Red Bulls player in August with RBNY selecting Pasher off the waivers list following his departure from the Houston Dynamo – first revealed by 90min. Pasher’s contract with the Red Bulls was due to run until the end of the 2022 season, but the two-time Canada international has departed his new club without making a single appearance.

[ad_1] The San Jose Earthquakes have completed the signing of Peru international left-back Miguel Trauco. Arriving as a free agent after last playing in France’s Ligue 1 for Saint-Etienne, Trauco has signed a contract with the Quakes through the 2023 MLS season with an option for a further year. San Jose completed the deal shortly before the MLS roster freeze on September 2, with clubs no longer allowed to add players for the rest of the 2022 season. “Miguel possesses very high-level experience for both club and country,” Earthquakes general manager Chris Leitch said in a club press release. “He’s played in the top leaguesRead More →

[ad_1] From Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – The tale of Tottenham’s 2-1 win over Fulham on Saturday was played out in two acts. The first was when everything was pretty much plain-sailing. Spurs were two goals to the good after 75 minutes – a little wasteful but twice on the scoresheet nonetheless – and Antonio Conte sought to rest Harry Kane for the rest of the afternoon after doubling the lead. “Oh what a night” sang the jubilant home supporters on the eve of their club’s return to the Champions League. A muggy afternoon became a sunny one, a good day became a great day. ButRead More →

[ad_1] Bayern Munich slipped to a second successive 1-1 draw in the Bundesliga as they were held away from home by a dogged Union Berlin. After being held against the odds last week, Julian Nagelsmann’s men fell behind on the 12th minute in the German capital. Christopher Trimmel picked out Sheraldo Becker from a free-kick before the Union forward slammed a side-footed volley beyond Manuel Neuer. The hosts’ lead was short-lived, however, as Bayern restored parity just moments later. After clearing a corner, the ball fell to Joshua Kimmich at the edge of the penalty area. Keeping his poise, the midfielder drove an effort throughRead More →

[ad_1] Wolfsburg striker Alexandra Popp has criticised the current conditions in the Frauen-Bundesliga, labelling the professionalism and infrastructure ‘a disaster’. Germany have traditionally enjoyed great success both internationally and domestically in women’s football, with the national team eight-time European champions, two-time World champions and Olympic gold medalists in 2016. Germany are also the most successful nation in the Champions League, with the winner of the competition being provided by the Frauen-Bundesliga on eight occasions; Frankfurt (x4), Turbine Postam (x2), Wolfsburg (x2) and Duisburg (x1). However Popp, who has played in the Bundesliga since 2008, was critical of the league’s conditions, and highlighted England’s WSL –Read More →

[ad_1] Celtic moved five points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership with an emphatic 4-0 victory against Rangers in the season’s first Old Firm derby. Ange Postecoglou’s side were dealt an early blow when Kyogo was forced off clutching his shoulder after a challenge with John Lundstram. However, they soon opened the scoring inside seven minutes from a quick throw-in. Matt O’Riley centred from the left-hand side as Liel Abada raced across the penalty box from the opposite side to fire a left-footed effort beyond Jon McLaughlin. The Hoops could have doubled their advantage minutes later when substitute Giorgos Giakoumakis glanced a headerRead More →
