Burnley boss Sean Dyche was left "raging" over the Alexis Sanchez penalty which dealt his side a 1-0 home defeat against Arsenal on Sunday. Sanchez dispatched a 92nd-minute spot-kick to deny the home side what would have been a well-deserved share of the points. James Tarkowski was adjudged to have pushed Aaron Ramsey to the ground, enabling Sanchez to score the Gunners' third consecutive stoppage-time winner in this fixture. The Burnley manager said he was not surprised to be on the wrong side of the decision. Читать дальше...

Arsene Wenger expects Mesut Ozil to miss Arsenal's midweek clash with Huddersfield Town despite not being sure on the illness that sidelined his playmaker at Burnley. Ozil, who has recently been linked with a move to Barcelona, travelled to Lancashire ahead of Sunday's dramatic 1-0 win but was ruled out of contention on matchday and returned to London. Arsenal clearly missed the Germany international as they battled to break down Sean Dyche's side until a stoppage time penalty from Alexis Sanchez settled the contest. Читать дальше...

A late Raheem Sterling winner secured Manchester City a record-breaking 11th successive away victory in all competitions, as the Premier League pacesetters claimed a hard-fought 2-1 triumph at Huddersfield Town. City appeared to be on the brink of dropping points in the league for the first time since August 21, but a fortuitous Sterling goal six minutes from the end spared Pep Guardiola's blushes, their 11th straight win on the road setting a new record for English top-flight clubs. City dominated... Читать дальше...

Under-fire AC Milan head coach Vincenzo Montella believes his side dominated Sunday's 0-0 draw with Torino at San Siro and were unlucky not to win. The result means that the Rossoneri have now gone four home league games without hitting the back of the net – a run which has seen them fall 18 points behind Serie A leaders Napoli.  Montella's position is certain to come under renewed scrutiny this week, but the 43-year-old is confident that his side can start picking up wins if they continue to play like they did against Torino.

Alan Pardew has confirmed he held talks with West Brom over their vacant managerial position, which he described as an "attractive" job. West Brom sacked Tony Pulis on Monday after taking just 10 points from 12 games to start the season. Interim boss Gary Megson guided West Brom to a 1-1 draw with Tottenham on Saturday, and the Baggies remain a point above the relegation zone. Pardew has been out of work since his exit from Crystal Palace last December, but played with and managed West Brom technical director Nick Hammond at Reading. Читать дальше...

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was in little doubt over the merit of the stoppage-time penalty which gave his side a last-gasp 1-0 victory at Burnley on Sunday. Alexis Sanchez scored a 92nd-minute winner from the spot after Aaron Ramsey was adjudged to have been pushed over in the area by James Tarkowski. Burnley were incensed by the decision, which consigned them to a third-successive stoppage-time defeat against the Gunners - the last two of which have been sealed by Sanchez spot-kicks. However...

David Unsworth issued an apology to Everton's fans after Sunday's woeful 4-1 Premier League loss at Southampton. The Toffees were thrashed 5-1 by Atalanta in the Europa League on Thursday and a bad week got worse at St Mary's Stadium, where Gylfi Sigurdsson's stunning equaliser provided a rare bright spot for the visitors. Charlie Austin's double and a goal apiece from Dusan Tadic and Steven Davis ensured Everton's winless run on the road in the top flight was extended to 15 games. With his temporary...

Managerless Everton's away-day woes continued as Southampton secured a deserved 4-1 Premier League victory at St Mary's Stadium despite Gylfi Sigurdsson's stunner. David Unsworth's caretaker spell in charge of the Toffees sunk to a new low in Thursday's 5-1 Europa League drubbing at the hands of Atalanta and Sunday's result means they have now gone 15 top-flight matches without a win on the road. Dusan Tadic toe-poked the Saints into an early lead following excellent build-up play, capping a dominant start for the hosts... Читать дальше...

Cardiff City kept within touching distance of Championship leaders Wolves as first-half goals from Junior Hoilett and Danny Ward secured a 2-0 victory at Nottingham Forest. In search of a third straight league win heading into Sunday's clash at the City Ground, Neil Warnock's side were rewarded for a bright start on 24 minutes when winger Hoilett headed home from Sean Morrison's flick-on. Daryl Murphy spurned a chance to restore parity almost immediately, and Forest were swiftly made to pay as... Читать дальше...

Mesut Ozil will be absent from the Arsenal squad for their game with Burnley due to illness. Ozil, having previously come in for criticism from some quarters, was instrumental last week as the Gunners beat Tottenham 2-0 in the north London derby. However, Arsenal will be without his influence at Turf Moor on Sunday as they aim take all three points from a Burnley team that is among the Premier League's surprise packages. Arsenal are level on points with the Clarets, and a win for either team would... Читать дальше...

Bayern Munich attacking midfielder James Rodriguez did not know the score at half-time of their defeat to Borussia Monchengladbach, according to Jupp Heynckes, and will miss training for the next few days after suffering a concussion. The Colombia international sustained the head injury as Bayern were beaten 2-1, their lead at the top of the Bundesliga cut to three points with RB Leipzig defeating Werder Bremen 2-0. James, who collided with Tony Jantschke, was replaced by Marco Friedl at the break. Читать дальше...

Adelaide United overcame Baba Diawara's penalty miss to defeat Western Sydney Wanderers 2-0 in a game that saw both sides reduced to 10 men. Marco Kurz's side secured a first home league win of the season courtesy of Ryan Kitto's double, which came after Robert Cornthwaite had seen red for the visitors. A VAR review saw Cornthwaite punished for handball in the area and handed a second yellow, but Diawara's spot-kick struck the left-hand upright. However, Adelaide took the lead on the stroke of...

A host of world-class players have graced the pitches of the Premier League down the years, but few – if any – can rival Eric Cantona's iconic blend of technical brilliance and chaotic infamy. The Frenchman split opinion more than most, as his undoubted ability and self-assuredness were tempered by a short fuse and general notoriety. Cantona was introduced to the Premier League by Leeds United in 1992, but on November 26 that year he went on to join bitter rivals Manchester United – a move you... Читать дальше...

Mohamed Salah is vital to Liverpool's Premier League and Champions League ambitions, according to Simon Mignolet. The Egyptian netted his 15th goal of the season in Saturday's 1-1 draw against former club Chelsea as his fine form continued. Jurgen Klopp's side were pegged back by Willian's fortuitous late leveller, but goalkeeper Mignolet is hopeful Salah can inspire Liverpool to success this season. "He's very important for us, not only with scoring goals and creating but also the way he defends... Читать дальше...

Inter director of sport Piero Ausilio insisted in-form captain Mauro Icardi is happy and wants to stay at the club for a long time, despite reported interest from Spanish and European champions Real Madrid. Icardi – contracted until 2021 after signing a new deal in October last year – has been linked with a big-money move to Madrid amid his fine form for high-flying Inter in Serie A. The 24-year-old Argentina international forward took his season tally to 15 goals following Saturday's brace in the 3-1 win at Cagliari... Читать дальше...

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes it would be "crazy" for his club – or any others – to be thinking about runaway Premier League leaders Manchester City. City are unbeaten this season and can restore their eight-point lead at the top in the league when they visit Huddersfield Town on Sunday. While Manchester United claimed a win on Saturday, Liverpool and Chelsea played out a 1-1 draw and Tottenham dropped points at home to West Brom. Klopp, whose team are fifth and 11 points behind City... Читать дальше...

Diego Simeone believes Atletico Madrid are growing all the time and he hailed his forwards for hitting five in an emphatic win over Levante that secured a club-record start to a LaLiga campaign. Atletico romped to a 5-0 away victory on Saturday, with Kevin Gameiro and Antoine Griezmann both scoring twice after Rober Pier's early own goal. The victory followed the crucial Champions League win over Roma in midweek and derby draw against city rivals Real Madrid since the international break. Those results... Читать дальше...

Luciano Spalletti revealed that he had to modify his side's tactics to combat Cagliari's high pressing game in Inter's 3-1 win at the Sardegna Arena. Two goals from Mauro Icardi and a fine strike from substitute Marcelo Brozovic sent the Nerazzurri to the Serie A summit, but it was far from comfortable for Spalletti's side. The hosts could have been at least two goals to the good before Icardi's first just before the half-hour mark gave Inter an underserved lead. Leonardo Pavoletti made it 2-1... Читать дальше...

Bayern Munich coach Jupp Heynckes played down president Uli Hoeness' suggestion he could remain at the club beyond the end of the season. The Bundesliga champions' perfect record in Heynckes' fourth spell in charge ended on Saturday with a surprise 2-1 loss at Borussia Monchengladbach. Heynckes replaced Carlo Ancelotti in October in a deal until the end of the campaign, but Hoeness had talked up a potentially longer stay for the 72-year-old. However, Heynckes said Bayern would have no trouble... Читать дальше...

Inter have gone top of Serie A as two goals from Mauro Icardi and a Marcelo Brozovic strike helped them to a 3-1 win over Cagliari at the Sardegna Arena. It might only be a fleeting stop at the summit, however, as dethroned Napoli will have the chance to reclaim top spot when they travel to Udinese on Sunday. The visitors were comfortably second best for the opening period, but the prolific Icardi scored his 14th league goal of the season from close range just before the half hour to give them an undeserved lead.

Kevin Gameiro scored twice and Antoine Griezmann ended his LaLiga goalscoring drought with a double of his own as Atletico Madrid romped to a stunning 5-0 away victory over Levante. Diego Simeone felt the mood at the club had been transformed since the midweek Champions league win over Roma and that pre-match assessment looked accurate as Atletico produced a marvellous attacking performance. Rober Pier's early own goal put the visitors in front, before a goal either side of half-time from Gameiro ensured the game was over as a contest. Читать дальше...
