Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri thanked Mario Mandzukic for getting sent off in his side's pulsating 6-2 win over Udinese at Stadio Friuli. The Croatia striker received his marching orders for two quick-fire yellow cards midway through the first half when the Bianconeri were 2-1 ahead. The hosts took advantage of their numerical superiority just after the break as Danilo headed in, before a stirring fightback saw Juve score four times without reply to seal a first Serie A win in three games.

Egyptian powerhouse Al Ahly sealed a shot at a ninth CAF Champions League crown with a 6-2 home thrashing of Etoile du Sahel in Sunday's semi-final second leg. Walid Azarou led the way with a spellbinding hat-trick for the competition's most successful club, who emphatically overturned a 2-1 first-leg deficit incurred in Tunisia to win 7-4 on aggregate and tee up a final date with Morocco's Wydad Casablanca. Ali Maaloul, who previously played for Etoile's rivals CS Sfaxien, Rami Rabia and a comical... Читать дальше...

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has hit out at the "wrong news" reports which suggest Mesut Ozil has told team-mates of his intention to join Manchester United. Germany playmaker Ozil played a starring role in the Gunners' 5-2 thumping of Everton on Sunday, putting the visitors ahead with his first goal of the campaign. Rumours earlier surfaced of the 29-year-old's apparent desire to leave for Old Trafford in January with his contract set to expire at the end of the season. Wenger, who previously conceded all options were on the table... Читать дальше...

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he would have done a better job at stopping Harry Kane than Dejan Lovren did for one of Tottenham's four goals at Wembley. Spurs thrashed Liverpool 4-1 on Sunday, increasing the pressure on Klopp as his side sit ninth in the Premier League, 12 points behind leaders Manchester City. Kane struck twice, as well setting up Son Heung-min's effort – which was Spurs' second – the goal which riled the Liverpool boss most of all, even though he felt all four were simple to prevent.

A Sami Khedira hat-trick helped Juventus get their Serie A campaign back on track with a sparkling 6-2 win over Udinese despite the first-half dismissal of Mario Mandzukic. The Bianconeri had taken one point from their previous two games after winning their first six of the season, but a win at Stadio Friuli means they are now just three points behind Napoli at the summit of Serie A. The hosts took an early lead through Stipe Perica, but it was little surprise that a team who have scored more first-half... Читать дальше...

Harry Kane lauded Tottenham after an "unbelievable" 4-1 win over Liverpool in which he felt the margin of victory could have been even wider. The England international scored twice at Wembley and also teed up the second goal for Son Heung-min, while Dele Alli joined his team-mates on the scoresheet. But Kane, who had not previously netted at the national stadium in the Premier League, believes Spurs could have further humiliated Liverpool and their generous back line in a rampant display on Sunday.

Mauricio Pochettino is running short of ways to describe Harry Kane following the Tottenham striker's imperious display in the 4-1 victory over Liverpool. Kane scored twice and set up another as Tottenham ran riot at Wembley - Son Heung-min and Dele Alli also on target as Pochettino's side capped off a memorable week in style. Tottenham sit third, five points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City, and Pochettino was quick to laud a superb display from Kane, also alleviating fears that the... Читать дальше...

Tottenham's clash with Liverpool at Wembley drew an attendance of 80,827, setting a new Premier League record. Mauricio Pochettino's side had struggled to find the winning formula in the top-flight at their temporary home until a victory over Bournemouth last time out. That has not stemmed the Tottenham fans' enthusiasm, however, and a record number turned up to watch Pochettino's men crush the Merseysiders 4-1 on Sunday. The previous record had been set in March 2007, when Manchester United's... Читать дальше...

In-form Harry Kane scored another double as Tottenham thrashed Liverpool 4-1 to increase the pressure on Jurgen Klopp. A dreadful performance from Liverpool's back four and goalkeeper Simon Mignolet helped Kane make it eight goals in his last six Premier League games as Spurs moved level on points with second-placed Manchester United. Kane's first league goal at Wembley and a Son Heung-min strike ensured Tottenham raced into a two-goal lead inside 12 minutes. Mohamed Salah briefly got Liverpool back into the game...

AC Milan head coach Vincenzo Montella believes his side's fighting spirit will see them through a turbulent period which extended to a 0-0 draw at home to Genoa. The Rossoneri battled to a fourth consecutive Serie A match without victory after the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) intervened to dismiss Leonardo Bonucci for a first-half elbow on Aleandro Rosi. Montella had hailed his captain for playing like a "true leader" in the 0-0 draw with AEK Athens in midweek, but the defender's rash action on... Читать дальше...

Kevin Gameiro marked his first LaLiga start of the season with a goal as Atletico Madrid's four-game winless run in all competitions came to an end with a 1-0 success at Celta Vigo. Diego Simeone's men are still unbeaten domestically this term, but a 2-1 Champions League loss at home to Chelsea towards the end of September preceded three consecutive draws - including a potentially costly stalemate at Qarabag on Wednesday. However, that miserable streak was brought to a close against Celta as Gameiro... Читать дальше...

Feyenoord's title defence suffered another setback on Sunday as Kasper Dolberg came off the bench to score twice and inspire Ajax to a 4-1 win at De Kuip. It represented a third league defeat of the campaign for the Rotterdammers, who did not lose a third last season until April and they now trail leaders PSV by eight points. Substitute Dolberg highlighted a four-goal second half for Ajax, sparked by three assists from David Neres in a dominant man-of-the-match display from the Brazilian winger. Читать дальше...

Michael Keane believes Everton have let Ronald Koeman down after Sunday's 5-2 humiliation at the hands of Arsenal left the under-fire Dutchman on the brink. It was Everton's fifth defeat in their last seven Premier League matches and saw them drop into the bottom three, a huge shock given their £142million spending spree in pre-season. Everton initially took the lead early on through Wayne Rooney's lovely strike, but their joy was short-lived, as Arsenal ultimately battered their hosts – Nacho... Читать дальше...

Ronald Koeman insisted it is "not a time to start to be crazy" after Everton dropped into the Premier League relegation zone with a 5-2 loss at home to Arsenal. Everton suffered their fifth top-flight defeat this season despite taking the lead against Arsene Wenger's side through Wayne Rooney in the first half. The Toffees crumbled after Idrissa Gueye was shown a second yellow card in the 68th minute, with the heavy defeat adding to the pressure on Koeman. However, the Dutchman called for calm.

Leonardo Bonucci's reckless first-half sending off forced AC Milan to battle for a 0-0 draw at home to struggling Genoa on Sunday. The Rossoneri were left with 10 men for over an hour following Bonucci's elbow on Aleandro Rosi and the disadvantage proved too great an obstacle in their bid for a first Serie A victory in four matches. Instead, under-fire manager Vincenzo Montella will come under greater pressure for failing to guide his side past a team that has now won only one of nine in the league. Читать дальше...

In-form James Maddison scored the only goal as Norwich City won 1-0 away to rivals Ipswich Town in the Championship. The breakthrough arrived after 59 minutes, as Marco Stiepermann played in a pass to Maddison, who was allowed too much time to line up an excellent finish into the bottom-right corner from the edge of the area, his third goal in four league games. Ipswich had come close earlier when Jonas Knudsen fired a stunning effort against the post after dispossessing Norwich captain Ivo Pinto in the penalty area. Читать дальше...

Gary Neville cannot see himself taking another role as a football manager following his failed stint in charge of Valencia. The former Manchester United captain was sacked by Valencia after only four months in charge in March 2016, while he also served as an assistant manager for England under Roy Hodgson. Instead of returning to the dugout, Neville wants to continue to pursue his business interests which include owning non-league side Salford City and running new project University Academy 92 ...

Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has a "minimum" of five or six years left as a player, according to his agent Mino Raiola. Ibrahimovic enjoyed a wonderful first season at United before suffering serious knee ligament damage in April, an injury which is expected to keep him out of action for the rest of the year. Despite that setback and his lengthy rehabilitation, United opted to offer him a new one-year deal and it was confirmed in August that he was to remain at the club for this season. Читать дальше...

A "very serious" ankle injury to Venezuela international midfielder Ronald Vargas marred proceedings in Newcastle Jets' 2-1 A-League win at Brisbane Roar on Sunday. The in-form Roy O'Donovan gave the visitors the lead in the 12th minute, burying from close range to take his tally to five goals in three games, before a Nigel Boogaard own goal had seemingly ensured the hosts were to be level at the break. But Dimitri Petratos scored against his former club to give the Jets a second on the stroke of half-time... Читать дальше...

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp suggested that the Premier League title race could already be over after Manchester City's electric start to the season. City beat Burnley 3-0 on Saturday to continue their fine form and extend the gap at the top of the table to five points, with Manchester United suffering a shock 2-1 loss at Huddersfield Town. Although Liverpool have a game in hand on Pep Guardiola's men, they go into Sunday's trip to Tottenham 12 points adrift despite playing just eight matches. Читать дальше...

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino said Manchester United counterpart Jose Mourinho put Eric Dier in a compromising position after attempting to lure him to Old Trafford. England international Dier, 23, was linked with a move to Premier League giants United in the off-season before Mourinho opted for Nemanja Matic from Chelsea. Dier – under contract until 2021 having signed a new contract in September last year – was weighing up interest from United in an effort to play more regularly in midfield... Читать дальше...

Gerard Deulofeu said he did not see a problem with his opening Barcelona goal, despite replays appearing to show the ball had gone out of play in the build-up against Malaga. LaLiga leaders Barca defeated Malaga 2-0 at Camp Nou on Saturday thanks to Deulofeu's controversial strike and Andres Iniesta's first goal in over a year. Deulofeu ended his 16-match wait to open his account for Ernesto Valverde's men in the second minute following a move which saw team-mate Lucas Digne carry the ball out of play before teeing up the Spaniard.

Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde has defended Luis Suarez's frustrated reaction to being substituted in the 2-0 win over Malaga on Saturday. Suarez was visibly upset with his 83rd-minute withdrawal and did not shake Valverde's hand as he left the pitch. The 30-year-old earlier failed to convert a gilt-edged chance in another sub-par display, with his recent scoring record reading just one goal from five club appearances. However, Valverde was unconcerned by both the star striker's reaction to the substitution and his loss of form. Читать дальше...

Inter coach Luciano Spalletti has described Napoli players as "aliens" and lavished praise on his side after they put an end to the Partenopei's 100 per cent record in Serie A this season with a hard-fought 0-0 draw at Stadio San Paolo. Samir Handanovic, in particular, was in sparkling form, producing an outstanding double save in the first half and then denying Dries Mertens in injury time to preserve a valuable point for the visitors. The result maintains Inter's unbeaten start to the league... Читать дальше...

Dani Alves and Lucas Moura have not been included in Paris Saint-Germain's squad to face arch-rivals Marseille, but coach Unai Emery has recalled fit-again captain Thiago Silva. Silva missed PSG's Ligue 1 victory over Dijon and the subsequent away win at Anderlecht in the Champions League due to a thigh injury but he has been included in Emery's travelling group for Sunday's match at the Stade Velodrome. A thigh issue has ruled Alves out of the trip and he is expected to be replaced at right-back by Thomas Meunier... Читать дальше...
