Spurs find silver lining vs. Brighton, but not a desperately needed win espn.in

Xavi Simons did precisely what Roberto De Zerbi asked of him but Spurs could not quite hold on against Brighton, with one mistake critical.

It is now live in the app for both iOS and Android … so what are you waiting for? Not something you see everyday, it’s like something from a Hitchcock film:

Premier League overreactions: Arsenal, Spurs collapsing espn.in

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now! Seeing as the Ifab laws of football decree that hair-pulling is an act of violent conduct that is punishable by a straight red card, Football Daily is somewhat perplexed by the controversy surrounding the dismissal of Lisandro Martínez at Old Trafford on Monday night. Approaching the hour mark of his side’s 2-1 defeat by Leeds, the Argentinian quite clearly yanked Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s hair, sending the Leeds striker’s man-bunned up tresses cascading over his shoulders by pulling off the scrunchy that was holding them in place without so much as a formal invitation. Should Spurs be relegated (no question mark, this isn’t The Moral Maze), it will be not only funny, not only a salutary Ozymandias moment – the €uropean $uper £eague, anyone? – but also a perfect opportunity for a club with an undoubtedly great heritage to take stock, give its long-suffering supporters a season of winning, and come back up in better shape than they have been since Mauricio Pochettino left” – Mark Dawson.

The summer 2025 transfer window has become something that is at the heart of pretty much every Newcastle United discussion. What went wrong? Who is to blame? What should happen... You can click here to read the full article.

This is the transfer of all transfers if Liverpool can pull it off.

Are Arsenal bottling it, can Arteta afford to finish 2nd & will De Zerbi's Spurs survive?

Musa and Ryan begin with Union Berlin appointing Marie-Louise Eta as interim head coach of their men’s team until the end of the season (02:46). Eta becomes the first woman to take charge of a men’s team in Europe’s top five leagues, but is no stranger to the Union dugout, having already been a trailblazer for many years already. So, they chat about why the appointment makes so much sense and how it could pave the way for other clubs to do the same in the future. They then move onto the Premier League title race (15:05), after a weekend where Manchester City closed the gap on Arsenal, following the Gunners’ home defeat to Bournemouth and City’s win away at Chelsea. And not to say Ryan’s taking it badly, but he did volunteer to go to the moon and has talked about starting a golf podcast. Down the other end of the table, it got worse for Spurs, as they slipped into the relegation zone on Friday night, thanks to West Ham’s impressive win over Wolves, and stayed their following their own defeat to Sunderland.
