MANCHESTER CITY 4-1 WEST HAM: Pep Guardiola's side have endured a difficult period but they rediscovered their ruthless side to sink their sorry Premier League rivals

After Pep Guardiola’s latest mea culpa – “I blame me, not the players,” he said on Friday – Manchester City returned a heady second consecutive win for the first time since late October, and a third successive outing without defeat.Under the manager’s own logic he takes credit for a victory decorated by Savinho’s performance including two assists, and crowned by Erling Haaland’s second of the afternoon. The Brazilian received the ball in midfield and fed the Norwegian, whose slaloming run was as elegant as the chip over an onrushing Alphonse Areola. Continue reading...

La Liga and RFEF reject Olmo and Víctor registrationsBarcelona likely to take case to Spain’s sports councilBarcelona have failed in their latest attempt to register the Spain international Dani Olmo for the second half of the season. On Saturday, La Liga and the Spanish football federation (RFEF) jointly rejected the registrations of Olmo and his teammate Pau Víctor.Olmo, 26, joined Barcelona from RB Leipzig in August for a reported €60m (£51m). They could only register the attacking player for the initial stage of the campaign, though, because of difficulties meeting La Liga’s wage restrictions. Continue reading...

Ange Postecoglou stood, as he always does, hands in pockets, at the edge of his technical area. It had been another frustrating afternoon, a defeat that means Spurs have now won just one of their last eight games. There was general grumbling rather than targeted fury, but also the clear sense of another season drifting away for Spurs. For Newcastle, meanwhile, a fifth successive Premier League win means Champions League qualification, which seemed so unlikely when they lost at Brentford a month ago, seems a suddenly realistic target.Of course it was going to be like this; how could it not have been? This is just the way Spurs do it, mate. There stands Postecoglou; he can do no other. But there also stands Radu Dragusin, and there stands Pape Matar Sarr, mystifyingly far apart. This is about philosophies, but it’s not only about philosophies. There is no system in which the opposition should be allowed to wander through the spaces in the way Newcastle did at time towards the end of t...

If Arsenal are serious about winning the title this season then Mikel Arteta may want to rethink his plans for the January transfer market. This was another two points dropped in the race to keep up with pacesetters Liverpool as a contentious penalty from João Pedro cancelled out Ethan Nwaneri’s second Premier League goal. But it could have been even worse had Fabian Hürzeler’s side taken their chances.Despite extending their unbeaten run in all competitions to 12 matches, Arsenal have become too reliant on their prowess from set pieces and were hanging on at the end in the face of concerted Brighton pressure. Arteta – who was livid with referee Anthony Taylor for awarding the penalty when William Saliba clashed heads with João Pedro as he attempted to clear the ball away – has so far insisted he is happy with squad at his disposal yet he surely needs reinforcements in attack given the extended absence of talisman Bukayo Saka and other obstacles that are rapidly presenting themselve...

Jean-Philippe Mateta’s late equaliser was no surprise and leaves Maresca’s team in fourth place, with Newcastle United and Manchester City closing in on them. Continue reading...
