Erling Haaland: I’ve never felt better than I do this season Erling Haaland feels he is in the best shape he has ever been after making a stunning start to the season. The prolific Manchester City and Norway striker has plundered 27 goals in just 17 appearances for club and country this season. Even by the 25-year-old’s own high standards – he has netted 142 times in 160 games overall for City since signing in 2022 – the numbers he is posting this term are extraordinary. Haaland said: “It’s been a good start and I feel really good. I feel this is the best version of myself. I’ve never felt better than now. “To keep sharp, I need to keep my mind in the right place, I need to recover well, I need to get a lot of treatment, I need to eat the right things. “It’s staying in th...

Alisson Becker Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson suffer injury blow in defeat to Galatasaray Arne Slot says Liverpool number one Alisson Becker will miss Saturday’s Premier League match at Chelsea after going off injured in the Champions League loss away to Galatasaray. The Reds put in a disjointed display in Istanbul as their first Champions League trip of the campaign went the same way as Saturday’s 2-1 loss to Crystal Palace. Victor Osimhen’s first-half penalty proved the difference in Tuesday’s 1-0 league phase victory for Galatasaray, who were denied a second shortly after half-time by a smart Alisson save. But the Brazil goalkeeper was unable to continue after denying Osimhen a second, leading to Giorgi Mamardashvili’s 56th-minute introduction. “When he sprinted back, h...

Daniel Farke Daniel Farke hails Lukas Nmecha’s ‘ice-cold finish’ in Leeds’ win over Everton Daniel Farke revealed he almost took the ball off Lukas Nmecha before the substitute’s late penalty secured Leeds a winning return to the Premier League against Everton. Summer signing Nmecha, a free transfer from Wolfsburg, held his nerve to bury his 84th-minute spot kick – just six minutes after stepping off the bench to replace Joel Piroe – to clinch Leeds a deserved 1-0 victory at Elland Road. Farke said: “I was a bit worried. He’s on the sheet for taking penalties, but as a substitute, he needed more touches and I was thinking of stepping in there and taking the ball off him. “Thank God I calmed myself down and he prove me right with an ice-cold finish. He deserves today to be in...

Liverpool Liverpool kicked off the 2025-26 Premier League season in style by beating Bournemouth 4-2. While the Reds showed their quality in the final third, a few defensive concerns were raised. Hugo Ekitike certainly impressed during his first Premier League outing, producing a goal and an assist on his Anfield debut. After being two goals down, Bournemouth battled valiantly to get back into the game and a brace from Antoine Semenyo brought the game back to 2-2. With the game firmly in the balance, Liverpool threw the kitchen sink at Andoni Iraola’s side and goals from Federico Chiesa and Mohamed Salah wrapped up the game for the Reds. While there were certainly lots of positives to take from the game from a Liverpool perspective, Bournemouth did highlight some of their defensive vulne...

Liverpool beat Man City to take commanding EPL lead

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola holds up six fingers to the fans indicating the number of Premier League titles he has won after the Premier League match between Liverpool FC and Manchester City FC at Anfield on December 1, 2024 in Liverpool, England. Liverpool have been used to second best during Pep Guardiola's era at Manchester City, but a 2-0 victory over the crisis-hit champions left little doubt over who are the team to beat in this season's Premier League title race. Goals in either half from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah at Anfield on Sunday did not do justice to the scale of the Reds' domination as City succumbed to a sixth defeat in a seven-game winless run. Arsenal and Chelsea are now Liverpool's closest challengers, nine points behind, with City 11 back and almost cer...

Liverpool go top of Premier League with 2-1 win over hapless Wolves

Ibrahima Konate headed home his first ever Premier League goal and Mohamed Salah converted a penalty as Liverpool climbed to the top of the Premier League table with a 2-1 victory over struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday (Sept 28). Arne Slot's men have 15 points after six games, one more than both Manchester City and Arsenal, while Wolves are bottom with a single point. "Feels good [to be top], you want to be up there but it doesn't tell me that much at the moment," Slot told Sky Sports. "If you look at Wolves they are down in the table but they played much better than that today. "After 19 games, it'll tell me something but not after six." Konate scored in first-half injury time after Diogo Jota beat his man down the left then served up a pinpoint cross that the 25-year-old cen...
