  1. Ex-Chiefs target the hero as Nigeria clinch record-extending AFCON bronze after Salah & Marmoush flop

    After falling to beat Morocco in the post-match penalties in the semi-final, this time around, the Super Eagles were sharp as they outclassed the Pharaohs. The West Africans clinched a record-extending AFCON bronze medal following their win over Salah-led Egypt. Now that the battle for bronze has been settled, all eyes are on the ultimate prize, which will be contested for on Sunday between Senegal and the hosts, Morocco.

  2. Carrick's cracked it! Mbeumo & Dorgu deliver derby delight

    Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes starred as Manchester United pulled off a wholly unexpected 2-0 win over Manchester City in a euphoric return to the Red Devils' dugout for Michael Carrick. United made a blistering start and scored two offside goals in a convincing first half. After the break, they continued where they left off and deservedly won the game thanks to strikes from Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu.

  3. Martinelli & Gyokeres wasteful in lethargic Arsenal draw

    Arsenal missed the chance to move nine points clear of second-placed Manchester City at the top of the Premier League as they played out an underwhelming goalless draw at lowly Nottingham Forest. Viktor Gyokeres and Gabriel Martinelli wasted excellent chances for Mikel Arteta's side as Forest more than matched the leaders, and while the Gunners widened the gap over their title rivals, they failed to take full advantage of City's earlier loss to Manchester United.

  4. Bad to worse for Szoboszlai! Missed penalty proves costly

    Liverpool were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by relegation-threatened Burnley after Dominik Szoboszlai missed a penalty in a match where Arne Slot’s side squandered numerous opportunities to win at Anfield. Florian Wirtz fired the Reds in front, but it was a brilliantly-taken strike from Marcus Edwards which earned the second-bottom side a precious point.

  5. Redemption for Sanchez as Pedro & Palmer seal Chelsea win

    Liam Rosenior's first Premier League game in charge of Chelsea ended in victory against Brentford, largely thanks to the heroics of the club's much-maligned Spanish goalkeeper Robert Sanchez. The 28-year-old made a massive save to deny Kevin Schade what looked a certain equaliser in the second half, with Cole Palmer adding to Joao Pedro's first-half thunderbolt to secure a somewhat unconvincing 2-0 win for the Blues.

  6. Anyone seen Haaland?! City star flops AGAIN in disastrous derby

    Manchester City ceded more ground in the Premier League title race as they went down with a whimper in Saturday's 2-0 defeat to local rivals Manchester United. Erling Haaland failed to lay a glove on the home side's defence, while an inspired Gianluigi Donnarumma kept the scoreline respectable. This was one of City's worst performances of the season, with Pep Guardiola's side left hoping that leaders Arsenal will slip up at Nottingham Forest later in the day.

  7. AFCON ace Brahim deserves a bigger role at Madrid

    Before heading off to represent Morocco at the Africa Cup of Nations, Brahim Diaz thanked Real Madrid fans for all of their support in 2025 before adding, "See you all next year, full of excitement." However, the player and his club's supporters could not be experiencing more contrasting starts to 2026. While Brahim was bursting with joy after Morocco beat Nigeria on penalties on Wednesday to move just one win away from ending the nation's 50-year wait for a second AFCON title, Madridistas were exploding with rage after watching their team suffer a second demoralising defeat in five days.

On January 1, less than six months after lifting the Club World Cup, Enzo Maresca was fired by Chelsea after publicly criticising his employers. Just four days later, Manchester United also got rid of Ruben Amorim for speaking out of turn.
