Haaland warning after 5-goal haul: ‘We’re ready to attack’

Erling Haaland sent a warning to Manchester City’s rivals after scoring five goals in their 6-2 FA Cup rout of Luton Town on Tuesday, saying he was back to his best and that “we’re ready to attack.” Haaland had scored only three goals in seven appearances since making his comeback from a foot injury that ruled him out for more than a month between December and January. But the Norwegian striker looked back to his prolific peak at Kenilworth Road with a first-half hat trick and two more after the break as City cruised into the FA Cup quarterfinals. In doing so, Haaland became the first […]

Arsenal’s sixth successive Premier League victory this year took Mikel Arteta’s third-placed side to 58 points after 26 matches, two behind leaders Liverpool and a point adrift of Manchester City, who earlier won 1-0 at […]

Porto stun Arsenal with last-gasp winner in UCL 1st leg

FC Porto snatched a shocking last-gasp 1-0 win against Arsenal with Galeno netting a sublime effort deep in stoppage time in their Champions League round-of-16 tie Wednesday. A drab clash was deadlocked until the fifth minute of added time, when Galeno curled an unstoppable effort past David Raya to send the Estadio Do Dragao crowd wild. Arsenal, who had scored 21 goals in their past five Premier League matches, were strangely subdued in attack and failed to register an effort on target throughout a cagey contest. It was the first time Arsenal failed to have a shot on goal in a Champions League match since a 3-1 loss to […]

Man City’s Guardiola sweating on Grealish, Silva injuries

Pochettino hails ‘priceless’ Gallagher after Chelsea comeback win

Mauricio Pochettino stated match-winner Conor Gallagher is “priceless” to Chelsea after his two goals helped them to a 3-1 victory at Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Monday evening. Chelsea went into the break 1-0 down after Jefferson Lerma’s wondergoal in the first half, but Gallagher scored just a minute into the second half and then a 91st minute winner to break Palace’s resolve. Enzo Fernández added a third in the 94th minute of the match as Chelsea came away from Selhurst Park with three points. Gallagher’s first saw him finish well off a Malo Gusto cross, while for the second he slotted home neatly from the edge of the box […]

Phil Foden scored a brilliantly composed hat trick as Manchester City fought back to collect a 3-1 victory at battling Brentford on Monday and close to within two points of Premier League leaders Liverpool with a game in hand. Despite almost constant City pressure, Brentford led with a Neal Maupay goal after 21 minutes only for Foden to level just before half-time then add two more excellent goals as the visitors took control with another display of possession and probing.
