Jamie Vardy stunned fans inside the Stadio Giovanni Zini with an insane backflip celebration as the Premier League legend scored his first Serie A goal for Cremonese against Atalanta. It was Vardyâs fourth league outing since his free transfer to Italian shores in September, and he made it one to remember by smashing home a rebound in the 78th minute before celebrating like a man 10 years younger than 38.
Jamie Carragher believes Liverpool are in a "crisis" after their fourth Premier League defeat in a row to Brentford. It is nothing short of a nightmare run for the reigning champions, who were beaten 3-2 by the Bees despite their staggering ÂŁ450 million spend ($600m) in the transfer window. They have struggled at the back, conceding nine goals in four league games in defeats to Crystal Palace, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Brentford.
Thomas Frank reportedly "doesn't fancy" ÂŁ60 million ($80m) Tottenham signing, Dominic Solanke, and will start a hunt for a fresh face when the transfer market reopens in January. After being a regular under former boss Ange Postecoglou last season, scoring 16 goals in 45 appearances, the 28-year-old now finds himself sidelined and seemingly unwanted.
Manchester United legend and pundit Gary Neville has backed Arsenal to win the Premier League title this season, while predicting how many points they need to get over the line.

Wolves are also the only club in all of England's top four divisions yet to win a game this season.

Bukayo Saka came off midway through the second half of Arsenal's 1-0 win over Crystal Palace. Eberechi Eze's first half strike proved to be the difference at the Emirates as the summer signing scored his first goal since his summer arrival from the Eagles. However, head coach Mikel Arteta has revealed that Saka's early withdrawal on Sunday came due to the England international's struggles with an illness.
Manchester United loanee Jadon Sancho has been branded as an "embarrassment" after being subbed on and off in the same game.

Those qualities are being embraced in the present, with the north London outfit proving difficult to break down.
Former Manchester United forward Danny Welbeck spoke highly of Ruben Amorim's Red Devils after Brighton's 4-2 defeat at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Manchester City remain level on points with arch-rivals Manchester United and six adrift of Premier League leaders Arsenal after suffering a 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa on Sunday.

Marcus Tavernier scored an 'Olimpico' goal directly from a corner to put Bournemouth ahead midway through the first half against Nottingham Forest.

Sean Dyche had to pull out of a community event which had named him as their guest of honour following his appointment as Nottingham Forest manager.

West Hamâs hierarchy are reportedly standing firm behind Nuno Espirito Santo amid mounting pressure and protests.

The Premier League has been warned that âall hell could break looseâ once the verdict in Manchester Cityâs long-running Financial Fair Play (FFP) saga is finally delivered.

Bournemouthâs stunning rise this season could have taken a very different turn if they had accepted blockbuster bids for in-form star Antoine Semenyo.

Jordan Henderson has backed âworld-classâ Liverpool to rediscover their form after helping Brentford inflict another defeat on his former club.

Liverpoolâs 3-2 defeat against Brentford was the âworstâ of their four-game losing streak in the Premier League, according to manager Arne Slot.

Liverpool suffered another damaging defeat, soundly beaten 3-2 by Brentford on a woeful night for boss Arne Slot at the Gtech Stadium. Once again defensive frailties were exposed and key players failed to perform for the champions, the defeat means the Reds have slipped four points behind league leaders Arsenal in sixth place and have played a game more.
Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has ended the club's pursuit of Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski despite Ruben Amorim being eager to bring the veteran to Old Trafford next summer. Lewandowski's existing deal at Barcelona expires at the end of the season and the Catalan giants are unlikely to offer the Polish forward an extension, which will make him a free agent.
