Nick Pope enhanced his World Cup credentials with three penalty shoot-out saves as Newcastle edged past Crystal Palace into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup. The night before England boss Gareth Southgate named his squad for Qatar, the Magpies keeper denied Luka Milivojevic, Jean-Philippe Mateta, and Malcolm Ebiowei from 12 yards to secure a 3-2 shoot-out victory after a drab 0-0 draw on Tyneside. Earlier in the day, the club had announced that its Saudi-led ownership group had taken its total investment past £450million with a £70.4million equity injection to further its intention to “build a club that can […]

Τα πρώτα τρία εισιτήρια για την προημιτελική φάση του League Cup σφραγίστηκαν το βράδυ της Τρίτης (26/10), με την Τσέλσι να κάμπτει εντός έδρας στα πέναλτι την Σαουθάμπτον, όπως και η Σάντερλαντ την ΚΠΡ εκτός έδρας, και την Άρσεναλ να επικρατεί με 2-1 της Λιντς και να παίρνει και εκείνη το εισιτήριο για τους “8”. Αναμφίβολα, το ματς που έκλεψε την παράσταση ήταν αυτό του “Στάμφορντ Μπριτζ”, με την ομάδα του Τούχελ να μπαίνει μπροστά στο σκορ στο 44′ με κοντινή κεφαλιά του Χάβερτς μετά από εκτέλεση κόρνερ του Ζιγές και εκείνη του Χάσενχουτλ να απαντάει λίγο μετά την έναρξη του δευτέρου ημιχρόνου, με […]

Daniil Medvedev je propustio historijsku šansu da skine s trona svjetskog tenisa Novaka Đokovića. Ruski teniser je šokantno ispao u osmi finala Mastersa u Indian Wellsu i na taj način propustio zauzeti prvo mjesto na ATP listi. Medvedeva je izbacio bugarski teniser Grigor Dimitrov poslije nevjerovatnog preokreta 2:1 u setovima – 4:6, 6:4, 6:3. Medvedev je breakom na startu meča dobio prvi set, a u drugom je poveo 4:1 uz dupli brejk i činilo se da će rutinski završiti posao. Dimitrov je potom osvojio osam gemova zaredom, odnosno 11 od ukupno sljedećih 15 te izbacio najvećeg favorita turnira. Đoković će […]

Shamrock Rovers picked up the second point of their UEFA Conference League campaign on Thursday evening as they drew 1-1 with Gent at Tallaght Stadium. Rory Gaffney got Rovers off to a dream start — his third-minute strike put the newly crowned Irish champions on their way to a first European victory this season. This made many people who were betting on the goal very happy. Hyunseok Hong had other ideas, however, drawing the Belgian side level in the 74th minute. Justin Ferizaj saw red for the Hoops in the 73rd minute. Meanwhile, in the Europa League, Manchester United dispatched […]

A host of clubs that are reportedly tracking Shakhtar Donetsk forward Mykhaylo Mudryk have been told by the Ukrainian side’s sporting director that the 21-year-old will cost “more than Antony”, the Daily Mirror says. Arsenal was linked with the winger in the summer but was unable to get a deal done. Manchester City and Newcastle have also reportedly shown interest. The Belgium bet will report what happens. Another player the Magpies are understood to be investing in is Paraguay international Miguel Almiron with the club set to offer him a new contract. The Daily Telegraph writes that the 28-year-old has improved under Eddie Howe […]

Lewis Hamilton has said his sole focus is on delivering a record eighth world championship after he declared: “I am not in a relationship, I don’t have kids, my car is my baby”. Ahead of this weekend’s Mexican Grand Prix, Hamilton confirmed for the first time that he will race in Formula One beyond his 40th birthday by signing a new multi-year contract at the conclusion of the season. Hamilton, who turns 38 in January, still has one campaign to run on his £40million-a-season deal, but the British driver has firmly put to bed any suggestion he is edging towards […]

Aaron Ramsdale has called for Arsenal to go back to basics after they slipped to a Europa League defeat at PSV Eindhoven. The Gunners were deservedly on the wrong end of a 2-0 loss as goals from Joey Veerman and Luuk de Jong secured the win for the hosts. This is what makes football betting so exciting. It was just a second defeat of the season for Arsenal, who sit top of the Premier League with their single loss coming at Manchester United last month. Defeat in Eindhoven follows a 1-1 draw at Southampton last weekend and, with Nottingham Forest […]

Argentinski fudbaler Sergio Aguero uskoro će se vratiti na teren. Katalonski mediji su danas otkrili da se Aguero odlično oporavlja od povrede lista, brže od očekivanog i da će biti spreman odmah nakon reprezentativne pauze. Aguero će propustiti još dvije utakmice, u srijedu protiv Benfice i derbi sa Atletico Madridom u subotu, a trebalo bi da zaigra odmah nakon reprezentativne pauze protiv Valencije, baš onda kad trebate posjetiti Meridian. Taj susret na programu je 17. oktobra u 21 sat i prema najavama, Aguero će tada debitovati u dresu katalonskog giganta. Podsjetimo, Aguero je ljetos stigao kao slobodan igrač nakon što […]

Ian Baraclough has insisted Kyle Lafferty can still have a Northern Ireland future after the veteran Kilmarnock striker was sent home from the squad on Friday morning. Northern Ireland’s second-highest goal-scorer is the subject of an investigation being conducted by his club after a video circulated on social media appearing to show him using alleged sectarian language. We are betting on their future success. In a sometimes tense press conference ahead of the Nations League match against Kosovo, Baraclough said a back injury which had prevented Lafferty from training since Tuesday and would have ruled him out of Saturday’s fixture […]

The summer transfer window has been absolutely bonkers and now it’s time to take stock of which Premier League clubs have done the best business. That’s right, it’s time to dust off the old grade book. Below we dish out a grade for every Premier League team based on their business this summer, as some teams have managed to navigate the ins and outs of the transfer market really well. Others? Well, it has been a struggle for some but plenty of managers will be happy to have kept hold of their superstars (ahem, Harry Kane)… for now. If you […]
