Say what you like about the ethically ambiguous, reportedly-exploitative decision-makers over at Amazon - but they know a football story when they see one. When they chose to do a documentary on Manchester City in 2017, it just so happened that Pep Guardiola's side went on to register a league record 100 points, winning the Premier League by a league record margin and generally being one of the best teams English football has ever seen. When they chose to do a documentary on Tottenham Hotspur...

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Reveals Key Change Behind Upturn in Man Utd Performances

Leeds United in talks to sign PSG's Arnaud Kalimuendo

tory Manchester United plunged Aston Villa deeper into relegation trouble with a routine 3-0 win at Villa Park on Thursday night. Surprisingly, struggling Villa started brightly with Trezeguet striking the post early on. However, the home side's good work would be undone when they conceded a (very) controversial penalty which was calmly dispatched by Bruno Fernandes just before the half hour mark. After this, United took control of the game and doubled their advantage via a fine strike from...

LIVE: Arsenal face test at Brighton

Win Bournemouth and Tottenham played out a turgid 0-0 at the Vitality Stadium on Thursday evening, as VAR intervention (or lack of it) once again dominated proceedings.

However, it was turned down by the officials. The second half sparked into life with just a minute left on the clock, with Callum Wilson wheeling away in celebration having...

Hansi Flick: The Man at the Heart of Bayern Munich's Incredible Transformation

To say that Luke Jovic's inaugural season at Real Madrid has been underwhelming would be an understatement. Since completing a €60m move from Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer, Jovic's Real career has lurched from one disaster to the next. He has returned just two goals, two assists and has been so disappointing that Los Blancos are now set to cut their losses and try and move him on as quickly as possible. Although he has struggled in La Liga, Jovic's performances lit up the Bundesliga during...

Africa's top performing Olympic footballers

David Silva will easily be remembered as one of Manchester City’s greatest players of all time.
