  1. Hat-trick hero Raphinha runs things for five-star Barca

    Barcelona re-established their healthy lead at the top of La Liga on Sunday afternoon, beating Sevilla 5-2 to move back four points clear of Real Madrid. It was another fruitful outing for Raphinha, who bagged a hat-trick in the win. Two of his strikes came from the penalty spot, with his third a looping deflection that put the game to bed early in the second half.

  2. It had to be LJ! England star is Chelsea's League Cup hero

    Lauren James' brilliance took centre stage as Chelsea retained the Women's League Cup on Sunday, the England international once again coming back to haunt Manchester United as her goal was backed up by Aggie Beever-Jones' opportunistic finish to give the Blues a 2-0 win and the first piece of silverware of the season. In a tight game of few chances, James' clinical touch looked set to prove decisive before Beever-Jones made sure of the win in the latter stages, rounding off a remarkable effort from a Chelsea side plagued by injuries.

  3. Smith & Blackstenius get job done for Arsenal in WSL

    Olivia Smith and Stina Blackstenius got the goals as Arsenal beat London City Lionesses 2-0 on Sunday, a result which allowed the Gunners to move within one point of the Women's Super League's European places. With Chelsea playing in the League Cup final on Sunday, Arsenal knew the short journey across the capital presented an opportunity to close the gap and put some pressure on the third-placed Blues, and they took it, winning their seventh game in a row in comfortable fashion.

  1. Valverde's at it again while Guler & Huijsen star for Madrid

    Real Madrid cruised to a 4-1 win over struggling Elche to put the pressure back on La Liga leaders Barcelona. Los Blancos built on their thrashing of Manchester City in the Champions League, with Federico Valverde among the goal scorers again in the Spanish capital. Although it was substitute Arda Guler who stole the show with a stunning strike from his own half in the dying stages.

  2. Joao Pedro goes missing as Chelsea punished by Newcastle

    Chelsea lost crucial ground in the race for the Champions League as Anthony Gordon's goal earnt Newcastle United a 1-0 Premier League win at Stamford Bridge. The Blues huffed and puffed but looked far from their best as Joao Pedro offered little threat in attack while substitute Liam Delap missed a huge chance to equalise. For the Magpies' first-half winner, a severe lapse in judgement by both Trevoh Chalobah and Wesley Fofana allowed Joe Willock in behind, while Gordon tapped in unchallenged.

  3. Why hasn't Tudor been sacked?! Spurs are BOTTLING big calls

    It was meant to be the appointment that saved Tottenham Hotspur's season. The outside world only treated fans' fears of relegation with a pinch of salt at the time Igor Tudor stepped in to replace Thomas Frank until the end of 2025-26. One month and four games later, it seems almost inevitable that Spurs will lose their Premier League status unless they take drastic action again.

  4. Why Bayern & more are tracking Anderlecht's towering teen

    Nathan De Cat is the next big thing to come out of Belgium - both figuratively and literally. At just 17 years old, the midfielder already stands at a towering six feet and three inches tall - and he still has plenty of growing to do. The latest gem to emerge from Anderlecht's famed youth system, his height isn't the only reason he's caught the attention of some of Europe's elite.

  5. Inside Chelsea's treble quest after dismal WSL title defence

    Chelsea’s season hasn’t gone to plan so far. After romping to a sixth successive Women’s Super League crown last year, going unbeaten through all 22 games to set multiple records, the Blues’ title defence has fallen incredibly flat. Sat nine points behind leaders Manchester City with six games to go, it’s simply not been good enough for a club with such high standards.

  6. Arteta turned his back on Pep & Wenger to embrace Moyes-ball

    The next stop on Arsenal's road to Premier League glory sees them return home and welcome Everton to the Emirates Stadium. It will be the first time that Mikel Arteta will take on his former side in N5 while they have been under the management of his former head coach when he was a player for them, with David Moyes leading the Toffees' charge for a European place.
