Premier League’s match week 9 started on Friday night in London with Arsenal smashing three past Aston Villa, and included some stunning results for Manchester City and Chelsea, but they will grab headlines only until Liverpool and Manchester United players walk out of the Old Trafford tunnel. Chelsea were at their clinical best against bottom-of-the-league Norwich City. They smashed seven goals past the Canaries to establish further dominance on the top spot. Mason Mount had not scored for a while for the Blues, but got a hat-trick in this clash. He opened the scoring for the home side, before Callum Hudson-Odoi and Reece James tripled the…

Goals went in aplenty on Saturday in the Bundesliga, with Hertha Berlin and Borussia Monchengladbach’s match being the only game that involved just one goal. Bayern Munich chipped in with a 4-0 victory over Hoffenhem, whilst Marco Reus’ Dortmund kept pressure on them with a 3-1 win in Bielefeld.

Andi Zeqiri pulled one back in the second half for Augsburg, but Burkardt scored again to give Mainz a 4-1 win. Bayern Munich just cannot stop scoring goals, and they smashed…
India Women haven’t been putting up sensational results in recent years. It all began from the day they reached the 2017 World Cup final, and they have been a massive presence ever since. In their recent tour of Australia, results did not go their way, but the Indian women displayed some positive performances. In the one-off Test between the sides, which was the Indian women’s team’s first-ever pink ball Test, India nearly pulled out a stunning result with Smriti Mandhana starring for the side, but the rain gods did not give the women enough time to get what they would have richly…

Ronaldo’s return to Manchester United has borne goals, but the Portuguese international has divided opinion over his defensive actions – or lack thereof – for the team. The 36-year-old responded to his critics emphatically in a recent interview with Sky Sports. Ronaldo has netted six goals in eight appearances for United since his return in August, but the general discourse surrounding him has been about what he takes away from the team instead of what he brings to it. Statistically, the Portuguese is the most reluctant pressing forward in the entire Premier League, which as per critics, is causing Ole Gunnar…
While speaking to the Times, former Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra opened up on a horrific incident that happened to him when he was a teenager, and had revealed details about it in his autobiography “I Love This Game”. The Frenchman spoke about the time he revealed it to his mother, which – in his words – was a difficult thing to do. Evra mentioned that his mother felt quite bad about the incident but had asked for the incident to not be disclosed as it is private. But the 40-year-old decided to speak up about the incident as he…
According to the Mirror, the search for the next Newcastle United manager is coming to an end. Former AS Roma coach Paulo Fonseca is set to be named the Magpies’ manager and will take over the first-team duties from Steve Bruce. The tactician came close to being named the Tottenham Hotspur manager this summer, but talks ultimately broke down and Spurs decided to appoint Nuno Espirito Santo instead. Steve Bruce, who had been in charge of the Magpies since the beginning of the 2019/20 season, left the club on Wednesday. While speculation surrounding his future persisted over the past few weeks, especially after Newcastle’s…
A razor-sharp first-half display helped Arsenal brush aside an uninspiring Aston Villa side, which looked like it was still coming to terms with the loss of their key man – Jack Grealish – in the summer. Arsenal took control of the match right from kick-off – their intense press forcing Villa turnovers high up the pitch. Early chances presented themselves to Aubameyang, Bukayo Saka, and left-back Nuno Tavares, but none of them were able to force Martinez into making a save. Meanwhile, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang also had a goal ruled out in the 8th minute after Alexandre Lacazette was adjudged to have fouled a defender…
Juventus captain also thinks that the Bianconeri paid for Cristiano’s sudden departure in terms of points; Massimiliano Allegri’s men started the Serie A campaign with just two points in four games and were in the relegation zone for a week. In a recent interview, the Juventus centre-back Chiellini claimed that it would’ve been better for the club had Cristiano Ronaldo left earlier in the summer window. The Portuguese secured a return back to Manchester United on the final days of the window – after it looked like he was close to joining rivals Manchester City, initially – leaving Juve little time to find a replacement. …
The Parisians were prepared to offer Ansu Fati a 15 million euros-a-year salary – and a hefty bonus – to sign for them on a free transfer, as per Mundo Deportivo. The club’s attempts were in vain, though, as the youngster renewed his contract with boyhood club Barcelona. The report also claims that the Ligue 1 runners-up wanted to exploit Fati’s contract situation with Barca, where ambiguity remained over the length of his existing contract, by offering him a signing bonus worth 30 million euros. The Spaniard also had interested Liverpool and Manchester United. Both teams were willing to offer…
