It looked like the Reds were going to hold on to a hard-earned point, but then Joel Matip scored a decisive last minute own goal, something which his teammate Mac Allister didn’t take very well. Romero was part of an iconic pile-up at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after sealing a huge three points to go second in the table, and posted an image of the moment along with the caption: “This team has great s...

"The goal by Luis Diaz was disallowed for offside by the on-field team of match officials.

"Obviously, we've won many games in similar circumstances. It's no excuse, obviously, we have to do better, but today we could...

Ollie Watkins labelled ‘the Seagull slayer’ as Aston Villa star extends glorious record against Brighton

Image
https://ift.tt/4kPVfy0 Ollie Watkins has extended his glorious record against Brighton by scoring twice in the space of seven minutes. The Aston Villa forward already had a great record against the Seagulls, having scored three times in five matches against the South coast side. 2 Watkins had another glorious afternoon against Brighton Credit: Getty 2 Watkins' second goal will be steeped in controversy with Jason Steele's view seemingly blocked Credit: TNT Sport However the Saturday lunchtime clash at Villa Park saw him strengthen that record in spectacular style. First, Watkins got on the end of a wonderful Matty Cash cross to convert, before he grabbed his second of the game with a wonderful solo effort that was allowed following a VAR check to see if the goalkeeper's view was obstructed by Nicolo Zaniolo. The check adjudged that his view was not obstructed, however replays of the incident have suggested otherwise. Those goals took his record to five goal...

Liverpool were hellbent on Jude Bellingham but Dominik Szoboszlai is already key in Jurgen Klopp’s midfield revolution

Image
https://ift.tt/YvhtuTj When Dominik Szoboszlai received the ball from Wataru Endo 25 yards from goal against Leicester on Wednesday night, there was only one thought in his mind. It was vintage Szoboszlai, who found the top corner from distance as he rifled an effort past Jakub Stolarczyk to put Liverpool ahead against the Foxes. Move over Adriano ; there's a new 99 Shot Power King in town. 4 Szoboszlai netted a stunner against Leicester but can he replicate it in the Premier League? Credit: Getty When it became clear that Szoboszlai was on the market, and for as little as £60m, the main shock was that Liverpool were unrivalled in their pursuit of the Hungarian. The Reds had been hellbent on landing Jude Bellingham and as interest in the teenager grew from the likes of Manchester City and Real Madrid, Liverpool quietly adjusted their target to another Bundesliga midfielder, who they signed for a fraction of the price. Bundesliga aficionados will have been aware of what ...
