Win West Ham stunned Chelsea in the Premier League on Wednesday night after coming from a goal down to secure a stunning 3-2 win that significantly boosts their survival hopes. A first 35 minutes passed by without much incident until Tomas Soucek bundled home from a scrappy corner. Sadly for the home side, VAR cut their celebrations short after a lengthy check harshly ruled Antonio to have been offside despite not obviously interfering with play. Salt was rubbed into the wound just moments...

Chelsea have not messed about. Wanting to make up for lost time (y'know, that transfer ban stuff) they've dipped their golden fingers into the market twice already with the big-money additions of Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner. Around 83 million pounds sterling worth, to be slightly more specific. With those additions, the key question to emerge is just how Frank Lampard is going to squeeze them into his starting lineup without heavily disrupting the status quo. ? "So when do Ziyech and Werner...

On June 30th 2020, Lionel Messi joined a very exclusive club. With a delicate Panenka penalty against Atletico Madrid, the six time Ballon d'Or winner became only the seventh footballer to score 700 professional goals. With this extraordinary tally, it is difficult to narrow it down, but here are Lionel Messi's ten most memorable goals. 1. vs Albacete (La Liga, 04/05) A photo that will go down in history, as Messi celebrates his first goal with Barcelona legend Ronaldinho Only 17 at the time,...

Manchester United have confirmed that Angel Gomes has left the club after turning down the offer of a new contract. The 19-year-old has been heavily linked with leaving Old Trafford in search of first team opportunities, having made only ten senior appearances for the Red Devils since making his debut in 2017.

We all love a footballing enigma. Someone who you can't quite wrap your head around. Is he actually good? Is he overrated? Is everything going against him? Robinho slots into that mould rather fluidly. However, at the turn of the century, everything was going for him. Robinho lifts the league title with Santos Robinho was billed not only as one of the greatest prospects of his era, but indeed one of the most exciting ever. That can, admittedly, get quite tiresome. We're used to the normal...

Manchester United have confirmed that Alexis Sanchez and Chris Smalling will spend the remainder of the 2019/20 season on loan at Inter and Roma respectively. Both loan deals were due to expire at the end of June, which would ordinarily have been after the end of the season. But temporary extensions until the first week of August will allow each player to remain on loan until the end of the Serie A season. Smalling has impressed since joining Roma on loan With both Inter and Roma still in the...

gain It's worth prefacing this with a couple of facts, y'know, just to base what follows in reality. Manchester United are fifth in the Premier League after 32 games, and not currently in the top four. SHOP MANCHESTER UNITED: Get the latest gear from Adidas! And yes, on Tuesday night, it was Brighton and Hove Albion who they brushed aside by three goals to nil. This, a team sitting 15th in the division, just about clear of the relegation places.

ies Newcastle United made it five games unbeaten with a convincing 4-1 victory over a relegation threatened Bournemouth side at the Vitality Stadium on Wednesday evening. The home side went into the game needing a win as their battle to survive relegation continued, yet were architects of their own downfall as Jefferson Lerma gifted Dwight Gayle an opening within five minutes, before Sean Longstaff's impressive finish doubled Newcastle's lead prior to the break.

ints Everton held on to overcome Leicester 2-1 at Goodison Park on Wednesday, despite a brighter second half display from the Foxes. The Foxes looked to dominate the ball in the early stages, but it was the hosts who struck first.

Very few would have predicted that Bruno Fernandes would have had this much of a positive impact on Manchester United so soon after joining. Last summer, the Portuguese midfielder was persistently linked with a number of clubs, most notably United - but a move didn't materialised. Indeed, one of last summer's longest-running transfer sagas was set to drag on until the next window. That was until Sporting CP announced in November of 2019 that he had put pen to paper on a new contract. It...

Arsenal may have just announced that one of their academy stars has committed his long-term future to the club, but it's not all rosy in regards to Folarin Balogun. The young goal machine has, as of yet, failed to agree to an extension on his existing deal, with the likely outcome being that he will depart in the summer as he enters the final 12 months of his current contract.

ter City It's been four years to the day since that turn. Four years since the moment Hal Robson-Kanu allowed a nation of three million to dream, and to start believing that they might just be about to put themselves on the footballing map. Their dreams came true. Sam Vokes' incredible glancing header confirmed 1 July 2016 was to be known as the most famous day in Welsh footballing history, as they conquered second-in-the-world Belgium in the quarter finals of Euro 2016, at their first...

tics Given the utter failure of England's 'Golden Generation', the distaste for Harry Kane among English fans rather bizarre. They have a genuinely world class forward in our ranks, and yet they choose to mock and deride him. And not for good reasons, either. He's slaughtered for saying he scored a goal that he may or may not have scored, winning the Golden Boot at the World Cup, and not passing to Raheem Sterling (worth noting: a still image or slow-motion video doesn't tell the full story)....

Former Manchester United goalkeeping coach Eric Steele, who played a monumental role in David de Gea joining the club in 2011, has backed the under fire Spaniard to return to his former best and potentially even stay at Old Trafford for another 10 years. De Gea has experienced a dip in form over the last couple of seasons, resulting in a number of high profile errors. The most recent of those came against Tottenham in the first game of the Premier League restart, although a flying save against...

Juventus have made contact with the representatives of Valencia's Ferran Torres, with one source claiming that talks are at an 'intensive stage' ahead of a proposed summer move to Turin. With six goals and seven assists in all competitions this season, Torres has been the standout star for Los Ches, but his form has been unable to prevent them embarking on a run of just two wins in 13 matches - resulting in Albert Celades recently being sacked as manager.

Real Madrid have essentially been told to look elsewhere in the transfer market by French side Rennes, with the club's sporting director insisting €80m would not be enough to sign coveted starlet Eduardo Camavinga. The 17-year-old has caught the eye in Ligue 1 this season, dazzling in the centre of the park. Camavinga had made 25 league appearances for Rennes this year until the campaign was brought to a premature end by the coronavirus outbreak. Camavinga in action for Rennes this season But...

Carlo Ancelotti has claimed that he is hopeful that Everton can start challenging for the Premier League title 'soon'.

Ross Barkley is perhaps the most frustrating Premier League player to watch. When he's good, he's really very good. When he's poor, he's...well, really very poor. Time after time, the midfielder follows up a performance full of vigour and energy with one where you forget he's even on the pitch. It's slightly baffling that at 26 and with that talent he undeniably possesses, Barkley is yet to make a significant impact in the Premier League. Ross Barkley ?

At midnight on Tuesday night, just moments after Barcelona had suffered yet another frustrating draw - this time at home to Atletico Madrid - the contract of 33-year-old Arda Turan finally expired. Such is the madness of this season - as pointed out on Twitter by Spanish football writer Euan McTear - Turan could've come on in the match and seen his contract expire while playing had time run over. Only, he isn't actually registered to play. The 100-cap Turkey international hasn't played a...

Arsenal's contract dealings have come under a great deal of scrutiny of late - and quite rightly as well. Extending the high earning David Luiz's deal, days after he put in one of the worst Premier League performances of all time against Manchester City was difficult to defend, even for the most optimistic advocates of the unpredictable Brazilian. Arsenal's last minute defeat to Brighton will have frustrated Gunners fans Similarly, gifting Cedric Soares a four-year contract when the Portuguese...
