5 h. ago Dominik Szoboszlai holds his nerve to give Liverpool late win at Inter

The Liverpool hierarchy protected Arne Slot’s authority by axing Mohamed Salah from the Champions League trip to Milan. The Liverpool team followed suit by inflicting a first European home defeat on Inter since September 2022 courtesy of Dominik Szoboszlai’s 88th-minute penalty. A brooding superstar with a bruised ego looked on from afar.Salah would have been on penalty duties had he not talked himself out of a showpiece occasion at the San Siro, another legend of the game that is showing its age. Instead it fell to Szoboszlai, the friend he argued should not be playing on the right ahead of him, to give Slot a precious victory after Alessandro Bastoni was penalised for pulling Florian Wirtz’s shirt in the box with minutes remaining. Liverpool had been resolute and fiercely committed to that point, well worthy of the point that was heading their way until the video assistant referee sent German official Felix Zwayer to the pitch-side monitor to review Bastoni’s foul.

6 h. ago Spurs ease pressure on Frank as Simons rounds off easy win against Slavia Prague

The difficulties in trying to find meaning in much the new version of the Champions League has to offer before the knockout stages arrive makes it premature to assume that Tottenham are on their way to becoming a winning machine at home. They did not have to extend themselves to defeat moderate opposition on a sentimental evening and although a second triumph in front of their supporters in the space of four days was welcome Thomas Frank would be wise not to read too much into victory over a Slavia Prague side who looked as if they would be better off in the Europa League.Frank, of course, is entitled to cling on to signs of progress after a tough few weeks. This was only the sixth home win in all competitions for the Dane this season and he will not mind that it arrived with the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium close to 15,000 below capacity. It was still an enjoyable performance from Spurs to see off the Czech champions, who remain winless after six games of the league phase, and it matt...
