The Rangers striker restored his side’s lead with a composed finish through the keeper’s legs after leaving the Real Betis defence for dead. As things stand, the Scottish club will not qualify for the knockout stages of the tournament as they are currently drawing with Real Betis, 2-2. Just like the first goal, the Spanish club […]

Edson Alvarez put West Ham firmly in the box seat of their Europa League tie against Freiburg with his first ever goal for the club. The summer signing was involved in a superb move which began with a pinpoint pass into him from the exciting Lucas Paqueta. Alvarez than played a give and go with […]

Rangers took the lead early on before their Spanish opponents equalised just moments later.  Both sides are playing for a place in the next round of the Europa League with the Scottish club needing a win to secure progression. They got the lead early on thanks to a cute finish from Abdallah Sima. But their […]

A draw is enough for West Ham to top their Europa League group but Mo Kudus got the east Londoners off to a flier against Freiburg. The German side have to win the game to ease themselves into the last 16 and their urgency in getting forward was ultimately their undoing after a quarter hour. […]

Collecting football memorabilia has become an extremely popular pastime, and there surely can be no more coveted an item than a Lionel Messi match worn shirt. The Argentinian has long been regarded as the best player in the world, and some would say the best to have ever played the game, so it goes without […]

Whenever Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho collide there’s bound to be fireworks, and the current Roma and Man City manager’s don’t even have to be on the same pitch to get under each other’s skin. Their history stretches right back to when Mourinho was denied the Barcelona manager’s job after the club decided to replace […]

Pierre Emile-Hojbjerg will reportedly try to force a move out of Tottenham during next month’s January window. Since Ange Postecoglou took over the club in the summer, the Danish midfielder’s playtime has been reduced dramatically. Yves Bissouma has had an incredible resurgence under the Australian manager so far this season with new signing James Maddison […]

Aston Villa had toiled a little in their Europa Conference League Group E game against whipping boys, Zrinjski, on Thursday night, before Nicolo Zaniolo’s first goal for the club settled a few nerves. A win on the night would mean that Villa finish top of the group and arguably get a more favourable draw as […]

David Moyes clearly isn’t taking any chances with his West Ham team selection for their final Europa League group game against Freiburg. The Hammers go into the match top of Group A, level on points with their opponents but above them by virtue of beating them in the corresponding fixture earlier in the season. It’s […]

The former Brighton star turned down a last-minute move to Liverpool so he could join Chelsea in the summer. Moises Caicedo was one of the most sought-after players in England during last summer’s transfer window as several big hitters were linked with his name. After Arsenal failed to acquire the 22-year-old in January, they moved […]

Caoimhin Kelleher won’t want to watch highlights of Union SG’s second goal against Liverpool in their Europa League group game anytime soon. The Reds had surprisingly gone behind earlier in the first 45, before Jarrell Quansah had buried his first-ever Liverpool goal to bring the visitors level. As the game edged towards half-time, Cameron Puertas […]

After the shock of going behind to Union SG in their Europa League game, Liverpool were soon back on level terms thanks to Jarrell Quansah’s first-ever senior goal. Jurgen Klopp is unlikely to have been happy by what he saw in the opening half hour, but as the game approached half-time, Quansah’s striker’s finish would […]

A strangely under-par Liverpool were shocked in their final Europa League group game against Union SG, as the hosts eased into the lead against the current Premier League table-toppers. Chances had been at a premium for both sides and though Jurgen Klopp had rotated his Reds side heavily, getting the basics right shouldn’t have been […]

Mikel Arteta’s epic rant after the Newcastle vs Arsenal game was up there with Kevin Keegan’s at the same venue many years before for Premier League entertainment value. The Spaniard’s vitriol was directed at those working with VAR, after they failed to disallow Anthony Gordon’s winning goal for the Magpies. There were three separate checks […]

Micah Richards has urged his former club to sign Ben Brereton Diaz to add to their attack options with Leeds United also eyeing up the striker. Unai Emery’s side has been arguably the most impressive team in the Premier League so far this season as they currently sit third in the table. Although their form away […]

The January transfer window provides every club with the mid-season opportunity to upgrade their squads in certain areas whilst also being able to offload players as required. Man United could be said to be one team that has work to do in that regard, though a root and branch clear out in January is unlikely […]

Inside Spain is a weekly instalment brought to you by Football España, providing an insight into all of the major stories coming out of the rich and intense climes of La Liga and beyond. Four out of five La Liga sides qualified for the Champions League Round of 16, and all of them will be […]

Barcelona are reportedly willing to sell their star striker to fund a move for Newcastle’s Bruno Guimaraes.

For a moment in the first half, it looked like Newcastle could do the […]

There’s just over a week until the busy festive period gets underway, and points picked up during this time could be crucial come season’s end. Most Premier League clubs will play three games in seven days before the end of the year, before the break in English top-flight games to accommodate the Third Round of […]

With the Man United game on the immediate horizon and Thursday night’s Europa League match against Union Saint-Gilloise nothing more than a dead rubber, Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has taken the wise decision to rotate his first-team heavily. Though there are one or two experienced first-team stars in the starting line-up, the majority of the XI […]

After a superb run at the beginning of the 2023/24 Premier League campaign, Tottenham’s form dropped off as their injuries piled up. Ange Postecoglou will have understood that the two were intertwined, and to that end there will surely be an expectation from the Australian that when he gets his big-name players back, the Lilywhites […]

Things certainly haven’t worked out the way that Rasmus Hojlund would’ve wanted at Man United this season. As we hurtle towards the festive fixtures, the towering Danish centre-forward still hasn’t managed to find the net in the Premier League according to WhoScored. The five that he has managed all came in the Champions League but […]

Slowly but surely Mason Greenwood is rebuilding his football career away from the glare of the English media. At present, he is plying his trade at La Liga outfit, Getafe, but he is only on loan at the south Madrid club. There’s plenty of speculation as to where he might end up, and the news […]

There’s less than three weeks to wait until the January transfer window opens for business, and Mikel Arteta will be expected to authorise some movement in the marketplace for Arsenal as they seek to win their first Premier League title in 20 years.
