Pep Guardiola set a career-worst statistic in Manchester City's 1-1 draw with Arsenal at the Emirates.

Phil Parkinson has explained how Wrexham were able to contain “best in the league” Josh Sargent when taking on Norwich City.

A former Premier League ace is reportedly set to pocket around half a million before he kicks a ball again for Wrexham.

And after being taken off early against Tottenham, Hurzeler has fired a warning to Baleba.
