35 h. ago Nuno Mendes gets PSG party started in Super Cup shootout win against Spurs

Paris Saint-Germain 2-2 Tottenham (4-3 pens)PSG score two late goals to set up shootoutIt turns out the DNA of serial ­winners cannot be developed within three months. Tottenham should have been able to announce themselves kings of the continent here in Udine, flimsy though any grand statements after a Uefa Super Cup win might be. Thomas Frank had challenged them to back up the heroics of Bilbao with a statement in the Friulian heat and, by the evening’s end, he should have been basking in the kind of start that can define a new manager’s tenure.Instead he received a reminder that there is no quick fix to some deep-rooted habits. For long periods Spurs, faced with a lethargic Paris Saint-Germain, resembled a perfectly imprinted version of the Frank playbook. They pummelled their ­opponents in the air, their two-goal lead owing much to well-executed free-kicks and plenty more havoc arising besides. On top of that they looked at ease with a three-man back line that gave a stellar atta...

This remains a new world for Bromley. Recent entrants to the Football League, this home meeting with Ipswich was just their second Carabao Cup contest – now they have their first victory, delivered on penalties against a side who were in the top tier just three months ago.After Ben Johnson cancelled out Deji Elerewe’s first-half opener for Bromley, the night went to sudden death and belonged to Sam Long. He saved Ipswich’s first penalty, low to his right off George Hirst, and was required for another, denying Ali Al-Hamadi.

4 d. ago Wout Faes fires late winner as Leicester sink Sheffield Wednesday amid protests

Martí Cifuentes has cleared his first hurdle as Leicester manager. The former QPR coach took the time to do a lap of the King Power Stadium while his players warmed up, introducing himself to the home supporters. A late header from his substitute Wout Faes ensured that those fans went home happy – but for much of a testing opening game against Henrik Pedersen’s Sheffield Wednesday, who have had to face plenty of obstacles before a ball was even kicked this season, that looked an unlikely outcome.For Wednesday, it was an achievement to even be here. Placed under a transfer embargo by the Football League because of late payments, they have only 15 senior first-teamers on the books and cancelled their final pre-season fixture, against Burnley, after the players refused to play. They and the staff were paid their outstanding July wages on Friday after solidarity payments from the Premier League came in. Continue reading...

There will be no illusions over how difficult an immediate return to the Premier League will be for Leicester.“The Championship is a ruthless league,” said Cifuentes, who succeeded Ruud van Nistelrooy this summer. “It was a good lesson for everyone to understand that we cannot take anything for granted.” Continue reading...

4 d. ago Crystal Palace sink Liverpool on penalties to claim Community Shield

The rest of the Premier League take note: Liverpool may have spent almost £300m on new players this summer but that doesn’t make them unbeatable.Goals from Hugo Ekitiké and Jeremie Frimpong and an impressive performance from Florian Wirtz had looked like being enough to seal a narrow victory over Crystal Palace in the Community Shield as Arne Slot’s summer signings made an instant impact for the reigning Premier League champions. But even with the possibility that they could still add Alexander Isak to the array of attacking talent already on the books, Oliver Glasner’s well-drilled side showed that their new-look defence is fallible and Palace deserved to take this game to penalties after an equalising for the second time of the afternoon thanks to Ismaïla Sarr.
