[ad_1] Kylian Mbappe has faced questions on his Paris Saint-Germain future amid fresh talk that he could leave the club. Ever since his breakthrough season back at Monaco in 2016, Mbappe has continually been linked with a move to Real Madrid. He came close to joining them on a free transfer last summer, only to reverse his decision and sign a new contract with PSG, though a future move to the Santiago Bernabeu remains a frequent topic of discussion in the capitals of France and Spain. Mbappe became Les Parisiens’ all-time record scorer in Saturday’s 4-2 win at home to Nantes, and attention now switchesRead More →

[ad_1] Chelsea head coach Graham Potter revealed the main reason why he isn’t worried about the Blues’ scoring woes. After a disappointing five months in charge at Stamford Bridge, Potter has largely failed to get a tune out of his large and youthful squad. Saturday’s 1-0 win against Leeds United was just their second in all competitions in 2023, scoring only their seventh goal since November 5. Wesley Fofana headed in the winner against Leeds and called on all of his Chelsea teammates to chip in with goals, taking a bit of pressure off of their misfiring forwards. Speaking to the media post-match, Potter spokeRead More →

[ad_1] It’s always dangerous to attach an adjective to a day of football before the games have been played but the Premier League’s offering this Sunday has a very good chance of being super. After a breathless Saturday saw Arsenal and Manchester City maintain an increasingly gripping title race, the focus on Sunday first turns to the other end of the table. Arguably England’s most storied rivalry rounds out yet another day of enthralling top-flight football. Sunday may be the day of rest but the Premier League and its myriad of pulse-racing narratives and nuances are only just kicking into gear. For the first timeRead More →

[ad_1] Liverpool forward Diogo Jota has highlighted the immense pressure on Manchester United ahead of Sunday’s meeting between the clubs at Anfield, explaining that dropping points ‘isn’t really an option’ for Erik ten Hag’s team if they have genuine Premier League title ambitions. Having overcome a poor start back in August, United have been the league’s in-form team in recent months. They already look strong enough to finish in the top four and return to the Champions League, but talk of a title challenge has been watered down by Arsenal’s ability to keep grinding out results – the Gunners secured a 97th minute winner againstRead More →

[ad_1] Erik ten Hag has showered Casemiro with praise for his role in helping Manchester United clean up their ‘mess’. The Dutchman was appointed as the Red Devils’ new manager at the end of a troubling 2021/22 season, with many anticipating it would take him a while to solve the club’s various issues. United appeared to be stuck in reverse when they were well beaten by Brighton and Brentford in Ten Hag’s opening two Premier League games. “There was a lack of discipline and I don’t have to lie about it,” Ten Hag said of the state he found United in. “Top players like structure,Read More →

[ad_1] Kylian Mbappe scored his record 201st goal for Paris Saint-Germain in a 4-2 win against Nantes on Saturday night, becoming the highest scorer in the club’s history. The mercurial forward recently moved level with Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani on 200 PSG goals, and in the dying embers of their most recent victory, edged ahead of him atop Les Parisiens’ all-time charts. With Nantes running out of steam, Mbappe desperately tried to score late on to become the outright record-holder. During five minutes of stoppage time, he was picked out by wing-back Timothee Pembele in the middle of the penalty area, swivelling and firing pastRead More →

[ad_1] Reiss Nelson shas reacted to scoring Arsenal’s last-minute against Bournemouth on Saturday. With title rivals Manchester City beating Newcastle earlier on, it looked set to be a disastrous day for the Gunners when they went 2-0 down to at home to Premier League strugglers Bournemouth. However, they managed to get back on level terms with two goals in 10 minutes just after the hour mark, and headed into the closing stages of the match pushing for a winner. Nelson ultimately got it right at the death, finding the back of the net after the ball fell to him from a corner in the 97thRead More →

[ad_1] A remarkable run came to an end in Arsenal’s 3-2 win over Bournemouth, with their starting XI not consisting of a single player that has or will ever be managed by Arsene Wenger. Wenger was in charge of the Gunners from 1996 to 2018 and had a bigger impact on the club than anyone else in their history, making it one of the world’s biggest and best in every area, from on-pitch performances to facilities. His legacy lived on after he left through a number of players that he had brought into the team, but that legacy is now starting to fade. The matchRead More →

[ad_1] Luke Shaw could return to Manchester United’s starting XI for their clash with Liverpool at Anfield, but Erik ten Hag will be without other key players. Things are going well for the Dutchman at the moment with his side beating Newcastle 2-0 to win the Carabao Cup and well on track to finish in the top four of the Premier League. It would take a disastrous run of form for the club not to qualify for next season’s Champions League now and they can further solidify their chances of doing so with a win over arch-rivals Liverpool. Here’s their team news ahead of theRead More →

[ad_1] They say a team can score too early in football matches, but no side is ever going to turn down taking the lead inside 30 seconds. Such an early lead has been taken a number of times before and multiple players have found the back of the net well before the half-minute mark. Here are the fastest goals in Premier League history.
