47 h. ago Raphinha doubles up as Barcelona sink Real Madrid to lift Spanish Super Cup

Supercopa de España: Barcelona 3-2 Real MadridRaphinha 36 73, Lewandowski 45+4; Vinícius 45+2, García 45+7Football is wild sometimes, and this was one of those times. A night that didn’t always make sense but was a lot of fun ended with every player on the pitch inside the Barcelona penalty area and the ball dropping through the crowd to Raúl Asencio, standing there on the edge of the six yard box. The board had gone up with six minutes on it, those six minutes had passed and now here it was, his moment and another twist: the chance to somehow take the Super Cup final to a penalty shootout.Instead, with the clock on 96.43 Asencio headed at Joan García. On his line, the goalkeeper grabbed the shot and held on hard; his team had done the same, two goals from Raphinha and another from Robert Lewandowski enough to take the trophy, goals from Vinícius Júnior and Gonzalo García not enough to take it from them. Whether they will be enough to keep Xabi Alonso in his job remains to be seem; ...

51 h. ago Danny Welbeck shines as Brighton dump Manchester United out of FA Cup

Manchester United’s hunt for trophies is over inside the second week of January after a ruthless Brighton took advantage of yet another loose defensive performance. This FA Cup third-round knockout means the 13-times winners have been dumped from the competition and the League Cup at the first opportunity for a first time since 1981-82.By the end of May United’s season will stand at a total of 40 games – their lowest number in a complete campaign since 1914-15. If August’s Carabao Cup penalty shootout elimination at Grimsby was dire, this disappointment was as concerningly insipid, goals from Brajan Gruda and Danny Welbeck, one in each half, (probably) ending Darren Fletcher’s record as the interim manager as winless – this defeat following Wednesday’s draw at Burnley in the Premier League.

Wolves beat Shrewsbury 6-1 to continue revivalLeicester win 2-0 at Cheltenham to avoid giantkillingEverton’s first FA Cup tie at Hill Dickinson Stadium ended in a penalty shootout loss to Sunderland, with all of the home team’s takers failing with their kicks.Enzo Le Fée had put his midweek penalties woes behind him by scoring the opener for Sunderland, only for a late penalty, a softish award given after Adam Aznou’s shoulder-to-shoulder challenge from Trai Hume, to send the game into extra time after a 1-1 draw. James Garner scored that kick but missed in the shootout while Le Fée converted his, this time avoiding the panenka. When Thierno Barry and Beto also missed for Everton, Luke O’Nien was left to slot the winning kick.This story will be updated Continue reading...

4 d. ago Semenyo completes circuitous rise from schoolboy rejection to Manchester City arrival

Bournemouth will find it hard to replace a player at the peak of his powers, an attacker polished up perfectly for the eliteAntoine Semenyo’s rise is a reminder the big clubs’ scouting systems are not infallible, that not all players will flower at the same time. Fulham, Arsenal, Crystal Palace, Millwall, Reading and Tottenham rejected the schoolboy Semenyo. At 15, he took a year’s absence from the game.A decade on, a circuitous route to the top alights at Manchester City, who beat a queue of big hitters to his signature. Bournemouth’s ability to find talent the elite passed over continues to prove profitable. Pep Guardiola’s squad has another player who pairs physical power with a high skill level. It also adds a long-throw specialist to the armoury; City are towards the bottom of the metrics in that voguish category. Continue reading...
