Sergio Ramos is poised to renew his Real Madrid contract for a further year once the Spanish title race has concluded. Ramos' current deal at the Bernabeu expires at the end of the 2020/21 season - by which time the defender will have celebrated his 35th birthday. However, his role in Real's title charge remains as important than ever, with the Spanish international hitting a stunning second-half free kick to seal a 2-0 victory over Mallorca on Wednesday and send his side back to the summit of...

However, the club's situation with player contracts has been a source of frustration, with Jeff Hendrick poised to leave Turf Moore at the end of June when his deal expires....

Arsenal seal last-gasp 4-2 win in wild finish

Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp struggled to express his delight with his side's performance in Wednesday's 4-0 win over Crystal Palace, admitting it could have been one of the best showings he has ever seen. The Reds were overwhelmingly dominant against a side who have created real problems for them in the past, and the victory now leaves Liverpool needing just two points (or Manchester City to drop two) to win the Premier League title. Even without fans cheering them on, Liverpool put on a...

A to Z of the Kolkata Derby: Anthony Pilkington, Maidan, Yuvabharati Krirangan & more

oint The points were shared on an unusually hot evening in north east England as Newcastle and Aston Villa held each other to a draw. The visitors looked lively from kick off and created a number of chances early on, but failure to find a goal let Newcastle back into the game toward the end of the first half. Steve Bruce's side looked to attack in a direct fashion, with the likes of Allan Saint-Maximin and Miguel Almiron, but they struggled to break down a tight Villa defence, meaning the game...

Candidates to replace Graham Potter at Brighton - ranked

Road Everton secured their first win out of lockdown as Michael Keane's header condemned Norwich to their fourth Premier League defeat in five games. The deadlock was broken ten minutes into the second half following a pretty turgid opening period, as Keane rose highest to flick in Lucas Digne's corner with the help of some static Norwich defending. The Canaries struggled to create clear chances, with their best opportunities coming when Onel Hernandez hit the post and Lukas Rupp forced Jordan...

Spain's female refs strike ahead of league start

Wolves were dominant as they beat relegation-threatened Bournemouth 1-0 at the Molineux on Wednesday, thanks to a Raul Jimenez bullet-header. The first-half saw little action with neither side really at peak performance. Wolves ever-so-slightly dominated possession and were the only side to register a single shot on target, while Bournemouth managed to pick up three yellow cards. Wolves finally broke the deadlock after 60 minutes when an Adama Traore cross met the head of Raul Jimenez, who...

Ricardo Cadena humbles Chivas over top four slot chances

ture We can already see an understanding that borders on telepathic between Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes. If you're a Manchester United fan, then you've gazed into the crystal ball of the future. If you're allegiances lie elsewhere, then you're looking at one of the toughest midfield partnerships your side could face up against. However, whatever your stance, from a footballing perspective the pair are a going to be a sight to behold for quite some time. That is, of course, dependent on Paul...

Fenerbahçe '90%' Confident of Securing Mesut Özil Transfer in January

The most watched football match on British television was also one of the worst we've seen in recent top flight history. Simply put, it was a turgid drag of an affair that put everyone to an early nights' sleep. It was slow, uneventful and devoid of entertainment. Three things we have not attributed to Liverpool this season. But with the first choice front three on show on Wednesday and the rest of the side stepping up, the Reds looked like a different animal. The Egyptian King has returned....

PSG continue rebuild, add Ugarte from Sporting

opes Manchester United increased their chances of securing Champions League football on Wednesday by seeing off fellow challengers Sheffield United 3-0 at Old Trafford. It didn't take long for the United frontline to spring into action, with Marcus Rashford drilling a ball across goal for Anthony Martial to slam home. The provider should have turned scorer soon after, but trickled a shot wide with the goal gaping following Martial's lay-off. The Frenchman did manage to grab his second before...

Man United Keep or Dump: Big decisions around Maguire, Martial, De Gea and more

itle Liverpool were back to their best on Wednesday night as a thumping 4-0 victory over Crystal Palace moved them to within a whisker of a maiden Premier League title. Having looked off the pace against Everton, the Reds posed more danger in the opening stages than they had done throughout the entire 90 minutes at Goodison Park. Despite that, their opener came from a dead ball situation, as Trent Alexander-Arnold curled a sumptuous free kick into the top corner 23 minutes in. The home side...

Lebese: Why Swallows FC decided against signing ex-Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs star

"I am sick and tired of people talking about Europe, it’s about what’s happening in the present." So, going off the above, it might be best not to ask Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder about Champions League qualification. After all, nobody took that line of questioning to him before the season had started. If anything, the questions would have centred around whether Wilder believed the Blades could stay in the Premier League, given they went back down to the second tier on the previous...
