Manchester City made a powerful Premier League title statement with a 3-0 win over Liverpool, cutting Arsenal’s lead to four points. After Erling Haaland missed an early penalty, he opened the scoring with his 19th goal of the season. A deflected strike from Nico González made it 2-0 before Jérémy Doku, who tormented Liverpool all night, sealed the victory with a stunning curler. Liverpool saw a Virgil van Dijk header ruled out by VAR and never recovered, slumping to a fourth straight away league defeat. Pep Guardiola, celebrating his 1,000th game as a manager, praised his side’s dominance, while Doku…
Harry Kane scored deep into stoppage time to earn Bayern Munich a 2-2 draw at Union Berlin, preserving their unbeaten start but ending a 16-game winning streak. Union led twice through Danilho Doekhi, including an 83rd-minute strike, but Kane’s 13th Bundesliga goal salvaged a point after Luis Díaz had earlier equalised. “It wasn’t our best game, but we stayed focused,” Kane said. The result leaves Bayern six points clear at the top after RB Leipzig’s 3-1 defeat to Hoffenheim. Elsewhere, Borussia Dortmund conceded in the 97th minute to draw 1-1 at Hamburg, while in Serie A, Milan blew a two-goal…
Ruben Amorim accused his Manchester United side of being “too comfortable” after they threw away a lead in a chaotic 2-2 draw with Tottenham. United looked in control for much of the match after Bryan Mbeumo’s first-half strike, but goals from Mathys Tel and Richarlison turned the game on its head before Matthijs de Ligt salvaged a point with a 96th-minute header. Although the draw extended United’s unbeaten run to five games, Amorim was frustrated by his players’ complacency. “We were comfortable in the game but I think we should do better,” he said. “We need to be more aggressive,…
David Raya’s remarkable run of form continued as Arsenal equalled a 122-year-old club record with their eighth consecutive clean sheet in all competitions, following a 3-0 win over Slavia Prague. The Spanish goalkeeper, who has yet to concede in this season’s Champions League, nearly had his streak broken late on when Slavia were awarded a penalty. Raya immediately sprinted to consult goalkeeping coach Iñaki Caña, his long-time mentor from Brentford, before the VAR overturned the decision. Despite facing just seven shots on target across four European games, Raya remains vigilant: “You never know when the other team is going to…
Chelsea remain firmly behind Enzo Maresca’s approach to rotation and squad management despite the 2-2 Champions League draw with Qarabag on Wednesday. The Italian made seven changes for the trip to Azerbaijan, a decision that drew questions after Chelsea dropped points, but the club’s hierarchy is said to have no concerns about his selection strategy. Chelsea view Maresca’s rotation as part of a long-term plan to keep players fit and competitive across four major competitions. With injuries to Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer, Levi Colwill, and Benoît Badiashile, and several others carrying knocks, the head coach opted to rest key midfielders…

Sir David Attenborough’s new BBC series Kingdom captures extraordinary animal behaviour in Zambia’s Luangwa Valley — including a lion rescuing a pregnant hyena from wild dogs. Filmed over five years, the documentary follows lions, hyenas, leopards and wild dogs, revealing their fierce rivalries and surprising alliances.
