word A ruthless Wolves comfortably beat Everton 3-0 at Molineux on Sunday afternoon. The game's first big chance fell to the hosts, as Daniel Podence's low drive had to be pushed away by Jordan Pickford. And after pinning back their opponents for much of the half, they deservedly went in front, as the winger was fouled by Lucas Digne in the box. It paved the way for Raul Jiménez to comfortably convert the resulting penalty just before the break, putting his side 1-0 up. 1 - Everton have only...

£100m, 350 new players, the 'big club' tag and a cracking home stadium later, and it looks as though Aston Villa will be relegated from the Premier League just one season after clawing their way back up.

Griezmann started Saturday's 1-0 win over Real Valladolid but endured a tricky evening. He missed an amazing chance to find the back off the net and was then forced off at half-time after picking up the injury. ❗[LATEST NEWS] Tests this morning have shown that Antoine Griezmann has a quadriceps muscle injury in...

Juventus boss Maurizio Sarri hailed Cristiano Ronaldo's ability to handle pressure after his pair of spot-kicks rescued a 2-2 draw for Juve against Atalanta. The Bianconeri were sub-par against an on-song La Dea outfit on Saturday night, and they were forced to come from behind twice to snatch a point. Ruslan Malinovskiy gave the visitors a deserved 2-1 lead ten minutes from time The result means that Sarri's men currently hold an eight-point advantage at the top of Serie A following Lazio's...

Barcelona midfielder Arturo Vidal believes that his side are still in the La Liga title race following their scrappy 1-0 win over Real Valladolid on Saturday. La Blaugrana have already dropped points three times since football's return and needed an early goal from Vidal to ensure they didn't make it four against Valladolid. The shot. The celebration. pic.twitter.com/FX6fTtySMO — FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) July 11, 2020 They now sit one point behind leaders Real Madrid, who will have the...

Last season's Player of the Year is having a bit of a rough time. I mean, three goals in his last 17 appearances is hardly the makings of a £46m frontman, is it? Call me old-fashioned, but I like my strikers to score goals. Y'know, the one-in-two(ish) rate where you're almost assured that if they didn't score this weekend, they'll bag one in the next. ?

Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo is close to agreeing a new deal at the club. The former Porto manager has worked wonders at Molineux since his arrival in 2017 - taking Wolves from the second-tier to a top-four race in the Premier League. Wolves won the Championship under Nuno's guidance in 2018 The Mirror understands talks have been ongoing between club and manager over the lockdown period, with the finishing touches now being applied to a contract that will run until 2023. The 46-year-old is...

Is there a greater sight in Serie A right now than the slippery bob-and-weave of Alejandro 'Papu' Gómez? No. No there isn't. Marking Atalanta's elusive number ten is like trying to pin a wave to the sand. Even the act of pigeonholing Gómez as simply an attacking midfielder does something of a disservice to his omnipresence across the pitch. ??

Chelsea lost 3-0 to Sheffield United on Saturday. Chelsea, as they so often do when presented with the chance to make life easy, vanished off the face of the earth and put in one of the worst performances of the season. Losing the game isn't the biggest concern. Every team loses games at some point. Sometimes, you've just got to hold your hands up and admit the other team were better. However, Chelsea have a habit of rolling over and accepting defeat far too easily. After the game, Frank...

As he waits for the outcome of their appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has insisted that his side deserve to be playing in the Champions League next season. City are facing a two-year ban from the Champions League as a result of breaching UEFA's Financial Fair Play regulations, but they appealed to CAS and are set to learn the outcome of their plea on Monday morning.

Manchester United welcome Southampton to Old Trafford on Monday night aiming to extend their impressive 17 unbeaten run in all competitions. The top four has eluded the Red Devils for most of the season, but a win over the Saints could see them move into the Champions League spots for the first time since matchday four. With Leicester struggling recently, and Chelsea's defensive woes continue, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have picked up some serious momentum, stringing together four Premier...

Juventus sporting director Fabio Paratici has confirmed that they are in talks with forward Paulo Dybala over a new contract. The 26-year-old has two years left on his current contract, but after a summer of major uncertainty which saw him linked with a move away, he has reestablished himself as one of I Bianconeri's top players. Dybala has helped Juve open up a lead at the top of Serie A Despite scaring fans by revealing there had been no talks over a new deal in early June, negotiations over...

It is no secret that Chelsea have not been the best at the back this season. Their defensive frailties have been exploited time and time again, particularly since the Premier League's resumption. The recent 3-2 derby defeat to West Ham, and the narrow victory at Crystal Palace - in which they tried their very best to throw away a lead - accentuated the Blues' weakness. On Saturday they were laid bare. Frank Lampard’s men travelled to Bramall Lane to face Sheffield United, which is by no means...

As Gianluigi Buffon fiddled with the velcro on his gloves, striding out into a barren Allianz Stadium, the 'Maradona of Goalkeepers' added another landmark moment to the weighty tome detailing his achievements. Juventus' regulation 4-1 win over Torino was Buffon's 648th appearance in Serie A, overtaking the record held by Milan legend Paolo Maldini, who had sat atop the chart for the best part of 15 years. Serie A's all-time leading appearance maker. 648 games played. Gianluigi Buffon is a...

Manchester City have not ruled out the possibility of extending Sergio Aguero's stay with the club for another 12 months, taking him through to 2022, despite currently being sidelined through injury. The club's all-time top scorer hasn't featured since the 5-0 thumping of Burnley in June, suffering a knee injury that required surgery and has ruled him out of the Cityzens' Champions League semi-final second leg with Real Madrid on 7 August.

osts Juventus had to rely on two penalties to salvage a point against Atalanta at the Allianz Stadium, as Cristiano Ronaldo came to the rescue once again in a frenetic 2-2 draw. The visitors dominated the opening stages, and took the lead on 16 minutes when Duvan Zapata latched on to a cute Alejandro Gomez reverse pass to rifle home from inside the penalty area.

The Premier League. The promised land. You spend a lifetime dreaming of seeing your heroes go toe-to-toe with football's elite, stepping out on centre court at Old Trafford or Anfield, and beaming with pride as Gary Lineker sings their praises on Match of the Day.

Week after week, you sit through humiliation upon humiliation, Your previously worshipped manager gets the sack, and you fall asleep before you even get to watch your team get pummelled in the final game...

Away Sheffield United moved within five points of the Champions League qualification places after a comprehensive 3-0 win over Chelsea at Bramall Lane. The Blades drew first blood in south Yorkshire through David McGoldrick - scoring his first Premier League goal - after the Irishman fired home from close range after Kepa Arrizabalaga did well to palm away Oli McBurnie's deflected initial effort. ?

The haul. A rare creature, scarcely spotted on our footballing shores. But what does it take for one player to score four goals in one, solitary game of football? Well, a combination of things really. Clinical finishing? Obviously. Natural scoring instinct? Check. Horrific defending? You betcha. It's no surprise then, that this list of players to have scored four or more goals in a game features the greatest strikers of the Premier League era - and Michail Antonio. Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal...

Arsenal's defensive frailties have been well documented for a number of years, dating back to the days of Arsene Wenger. When the Frenchman eventually stood aside, successor Unai Emery wasn't really able to address the problem - and soon enough, a lack of creativity in front of goal was added to the list of criticisms being flung Arsenal's way. Now, Mikel Arteta is steering the ship - and although the creativity issue remains, it's fair comment to say that the Spaniard has started to address...
