[ad_1] Atlanta United’s dramatic 2-1 comeback win over the San Jose Earthquakes was exhilarating but arguably left just as many questions as it did answers. After a thoroughly disappointing 2022 campaign in which they failed to reach the MLS Cup Playoffs, the Five Stripes needed two incredible strikes from World Cup-winner Thiago Almada in second-half stoppage time to beat the Quakes 2-1 in their new season opener. And he had the 93rd minute equalizer 🫠🫠🫠 #WeAreTheApic.twitter.com/Et8PjzY8AW — 90min_US (@90min_us) February 26, 2023 In many ways, it was a performance that felt similar to 2022, with Atlanta dominating possession but needing special moments from big playersRead More →

[ad_1] The EFL have now awarded Manchester United’s second goal in Sunday’s Carabao Cup final to in-form striker Marcus Rashford. Rashford entered the game in the best goalscoring form of his career and, after Casemiro opened the scoring midway through the first half, thought he had added a second after his strike nestled in the back of the net. The goal was initially credited as a Sven Botman own goal after the Dutchman’s deflection saw the ball loop over goalkeeper Loris Karius, but Rashford insisted he would claim it as his own anyway. Asked by Sky Sports about the goal, Rashford laughed: “I’m claiming it!Read More →

[ad_1] Manchester United co-chairman Avram Glazer was invited into the dressing room following Sunday’s Carabao Cup win over Newcastle at Wembley. It was the first time that any of the Glazers have attended a United game since a November statement confirming their desire to explore ‘strategic alternatives’ – including a takeover. Indeed, the last time Avram, who sold class ‘A’ shares in United worth £70m in 2021, personally attended a game was back in August for the Premier League opening day defeat to Brighton. Avram along with brother Joel are the two Glazer family members most involved with United, although it has typically been JoelRead More →

[ad_1] Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has admitted that forward Darwin Nunez has aggravated the shoulder injury he suffered against Newcastle earlier this month. The Uruguay international was doubtful for the midweek clash with Real Madrid but ended up starting and scoring, before being substituted after the hour mark. Nunez did not appear to be struggling as he left the pitch and so it was a surprise that the 23-year-old was not included in Liverpool’s matchday squad to face Crystal Palace this weekend. Asked about Nunez’s absence, Klopp explained: “Darwin was okay with an injection against Madrid because there’s no structural damage. It’s very painful butRead More →

[ad_1] A Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe masterclass earned Paris Saint-Germain a crucial win in Le Classique on Sunday evening. The pair combined for all three goals on the night as PSG moved eight points clear at the top of Ligue 1. Marseille were surprisingly the much, much better team in the opening exchanges, playing with an urgency and enthusiasm that PSG seemed devoid of. OM’s best opening in the oening 20 minutes would come courtesy of that urgency, as Nuno Tavares burst through on goal after some powerful running down the right flank. Just before he could shoot however, Nuno Mendes launched himself inRead More →

[ad_1] Jonas Eidevall was left admiring a ‘brutally efficient’ Chelsea, after Arsenal again saw a series of chances go begging against the Blues during their 2-0 FA Cup defeat on Sunday. Arsenal dominated for much of the first half at Kingsmeadow, with Ann-Katrin Berger pulling off a number of fine saves to deny Frida Maanum, Katie McCabe and Caitlin Foord. Stina Blackstenius also blazed a glorious opportunity over when one-v-one. The Gunners were made to pay as Chelsea took the lead with their first real sighting of goal through Sophie Ingle. Sam Kerr added a second 10 minutes into the second half to condemn ArsenalRead More →

[ad_1] Manchester United full-back Luke Shaw has described his side’s 2-0 victory over Newcastle United in Sunday’s Carabao Cup final as the ‘start’ of ‘our own history’ at the club. Shaw was at the club when Manchester United last won a piece of silverware back in 2017, but missed out through injury when a team led by Jose Mourinho lined up for the Europa League final against Ajax. The left-back was also absent from the squad that won the Carabao Cup earlier that season too. When United reached the final of Europe’s second-tier competition in 2021, Shaw played the full 120 minutes and scored hisRead More →

[ad_1] Manchester United have won the Carabao Cup after being Newcastle 2-0 in an entertaining game at Wembley. It was the first trophy of the Erik ten Hag era at Man Utd and ends their five-year wait for silverware. Newcastle, meanwhile, have still failed to win a domestic trophy since 1955. The game was an absorbing one, with Newcastle starting brilliantly and passing through the Man Utd lines in assured style. However, they were unable to land a blow on the Red Devils, who slowly grew into the game and took the lead through a Casemiro header.
