The pressure of being Sam Kerr, Australia's captain at the Women's World Cup

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has declared himself the 'happiest person in the world after the club’s La Liga title win – secured with victory over Villarreal on Thursday night – after finishing ahead of Barcelona for only the third time since 2008. Two more Karim Benzema goals, the second a penalty after an attempt to repeat a classic Johan Cruyff/Jesper Olsen two-man effort with Sergio Ramos went wrong because of encroachment, was enough for a 2-1 victory. As it was, Barcelona’s surprise...

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Hails 'Special Kid' Mason Greenwood After 3-0 Win over Brighton

lans Theo Walcott secured a point for Everton late on against Aston Villa at Goodison Park on Thursday evening, with a turgid encounter ending 1-1. Despite plenty of attacking endeavour there was a clear lack of quality in the final third, with neither side recording a shot on target in the first half. Villa broke the deadlock with a little over 20 minutes to play, as Ezri Konsa connected with Conor Hourihane's superb free-kick to divert the ball past Jordan Pickford. Full-time at Goodison...

Douglas Luiz Shows Why Manchester City Are Right to Want Him Back in Everton Draw

Aston Villa were denied a precious Premier League lifeline against Everton on Thursday evening as a late Theo Walcott header (yes, REALLY) prevented the Villans from taking all three points. While Dean Smith looked evidently deflated in his post-match interview, the Villa boss will head back home with a small crumb of comfort that his team boasted the standout player at Goodison Park. The midfield man was both combative and creative at Goodison Park Douglas Luiz produced a scintillating...

They did not do enough with Osasuna grabbing a last gasp winner to end the hosts' hopes of defending their domestic crown. Going into the game Barcelona boasted a dominant record over their visitors, winning their...

Percy Tau: Brighton & Hove Albion confirm plans for South Africa star from Anderlecht

Cast your mind back to October, if you can. Liverpool were already stretching their lead at the top of the Premier League, Manchester City were looking beatable and a young exciting Chelsea were quietly churning out impressive results, largely thanks to the form of Tammy Abraham. The 22-year-old had hit seven goals by the end of September and was joint top of the goalscoring charts with Sergio Aguero. He was later called up by Gareth Southgate and scored his first England goal against...

Kakuta scores as Lens hold Moses Simon-less Nantes

Don't panic folks. Harry Kane is still at it. Despite not having his most successful season - largely due to injuries - he has still clocked up 15 Premier League goals, and the most recent two he's scored have taken him past 200 club career goals. The boy from Walthamstow has come a long way from north London schoolboy to England captain and there is seemingly nothing stopping him from now overtaking Jimmy Greaves as Spurs' all time leading scorer in the not-too-distant future. So let's dive...

Brighton predicted lineup vs Aston Villa - Premier League

Of all the things you expect to stumble across during a stroll on the beach, the possible heir to Pelé is not necessarily one of them. Yet it was on the sands of São Vicente that Betinho, the shrewd Santos coach who has made a career out of unearthing many of the treasures of Brazilian football from Robinho through to Gabriel Barbosa, saw something that caught his attention like very little else had before.
