Barcelona forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was reportedly the victim of a violent robbery in the early hours of Monday morning at his home in the Spanish city, with several armed men breaking in and beating him. According to Spanish publication El Pais, at least four men climbed into his garden at the Castelldefels complex and threatened him with firearms and iron bars – and the crooks fled with jewels after breaking into the player’s safe. The former Gabon international, who joined the Blaugrana from Arsenal in January, was assaulted by the men in front of his wife Alysha Behague, with the criminals fleeing in…

Former Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds, who passed away in a car crash back in May, was given a heartfelt tribute during the 1st ODI between Australia and Zimbabwe in Townsville. His kids Chloe and Billy walked out alongside Steve Smith and Aaron Finch in the pre-match ceremony. Both the kids were present in the Australian dugout during the 1st innings and were assisting the men in action. They even ran in to provide drinks to the on-field players. During the innings break, his mother Barbara and sister Louise walked to the pitch to lay his baggy green, his bat, his Akubra hat, a fishing…
New Tottenham Hotspur attacker Richarlison caused quite the stir after coming off the bench in the second half. During the latter stages of the 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest, the Brazilian started juggling with the ball and showing off, which attracted the ire of the opposition players as well as Forest manager Steve Cooper. Spurs had a busy day in the office against the Tricky Trees in their most recent Premier League fixture. Captain Harry Kane found the back of the net twice in each half to earn them three important points following a 2-0 victory away from home at the City…
The Blues, unsure of the feasibility of a big payout for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, have backed away from a move for the Barcelona frontman. However, Manchester United are keeping tabs on the former Gabon international. Thomas Tuchel might not be getting his dream reunion after all, with reports now confirming that Chelsea’s move for Barcelona hitman – and Tuchel’s former colleague – Aubameyang has stalled. The veteran forward was the Blues’ number one choice to reinforce their attack; to that end, the club submitted a 15 million euro offer to Barcelona, which was not accepted by the Spanish giants. According to reports, the…
Harry Kane scored twice – and missed a spot-kick – to help Tottenham Hotspur beat Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. Spurs continued their fine form at the start of the season by defeating the newly-promoted Nottingham Forest 2-0. The win helped Spurs climb up to third in the table with ten points, one of five sides yet to be beaten this season, level with Manchester City in second and Brighton and Hove Albion in fourth. Spurs took the lead five minutes after kick-off. Dejan Kulusevski created space for Kane to run into with his stride through to the middle. The Swede then threaded the ball…
Barcelona pondered and probed for an opening early on in their Sunday night fixture against the newly-promoted Real Valladolid, knowing that a second successive win would help them climb to third in the table. Robert Lewandowski and Ousmane Dembele hit the woodwork as part of the Blaugrana’s early onslaught, but it wasn’t long after that the former gave them the lead. The Pole struck first in the 24th minute, converting a teasing cross from summer signing Raphinha at the back post. Twenty minutes later, Pedri timed a late run to the edge of the box and side-footed a pass from Dembele into…
Everton boss Frank Lampard is hopeful that the club will keep hold of 21-year-old attacking midfielder Anthony Gordon amid interest from Chelsea. The Englishman scored his first goal of the season in Everton’s 1-1 draw against Brentford – a game in which he played amid the backdrop of Chelsea’s interest in signing him for a fee reportedly in the region of 50-60 million. Lampard – a former Chelsea player and manager – remains defiant, however, that the club’s star youngster is not for sale and that he would want him to stay at Goodison Park for the season. “He’s a level of…
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta thinks it is too early to consider his side as Premier League contenders, despite the Gunners’ perfect start to the league season. The North London giants have played four and won four games so far in this campaign. A late goal from centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes settled Arsenal’s win over the newly-promoted Fulham. The Gunners trailed the Cottagers by a goal to nil following Aleksandar Mitrovic’s opening goal in the 56th minute. But that didn’t last for long as captain Martin Odegaard brought his side level with a well-taken finish four minutes past the hour mark, setting the stage for Gabriel’s late winner. Arsenal’s…
LOSC bounced back from a thrashing at Paris Saint-Germain last Sunday with a 3-1 win at AC Ajaccio. At the Stade François Coty, Yusuf Yasici, Jonathan Bamba, and Tiago Djalo all scored. Lille’s long journey from the north of France to Corsica might have felt even more draining if Leonardo Jardim hadn’t leapt across his goal early on (7′) to deny Vincent Marchetti the opening goal for the hosts, but les Dogues soon settled into their stride. Jonathan David had a goal ruled out for offside (11′) before Yazici made it 1-0 with a wonder-goal, teeing himself up for a volley on the turn that left…
AFC Ajax boss Alfred Schreuder confirmed that Manchester United target Antony would remain absent from the first-team squad to take on FC Utrecht in the Eredivisie – a match which they won 2-0 – given the player’s attempts to join the Red Devils lately. The player publicly revealed his desire to leave his current club in an interview with Fabrizio Romano after news reports that Ajax were ready to play hardball with the Premier League giants over a transfer fee. “The Antony situation hasn’t changed compared to last week. We discuss it internally every day, also with the player.”He reports…
