6 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 Szoboszlai steps up in place of Salah to sink Inter as Liverpool fans sing Slot’s name

First the Liverpool hierarchy protected Arne Slot’s authority by axing Mohamed Salah from a daunting Champions League assignment in Milan. The Liverpool team then followed suit by inflicting Inter’s first European home defeat since September 2022. A brooding superstar with a bruised ego watched from afar while Liverpool fans serenaded Slot at San Siro.Salah might well have taken the decisive 88th minute penalty had he not talked himself out of the trip to San Siro, another legend of the game that is showing its age. Instead it fell to Dominik Szoboszlai, the friend Salah had effectively argued should not be playing on the right ahead of him, to deliver a precious victory for Slot after Alessandro Bastoni had been penalised for pulling Florian Wirtz’s shirt in the box.

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...

Arsenal have qualified for the Champions League knockout phase after a narrow but industrious victory over Twente thanks to Beth Mead’s first-half finish.Arsenal’s inconsistent form in the Champions League this season – two wins and two defeats – had placed extra importance on their final two games of the league phase with elimination from the competition not out of the question ahead of the penultimate matchday. They will have been well aware of the threats posed by the visitors who earned a point off Chelsea in their opener. While Corina Dekker’s side have only secured two points in the competition, they boast a developing group of young players who have been catching the eye. Continue reading...

30 h. ago Fernandes at the double as Manchester United ease past Wolves amid fan unrest

For Manchester United, a soothing return to winning ways to avert any sense another mini-crisis was brewing. Ruben Amorim’s side cruised to a comfortable win, navigating the briefest of scares after Wolves equalised but turned on the style after the interval. The visiting manager clenched his right fist when Mason Mount volleyed in to make it 3-1, building on goals by Bryan Mbeumo and Bruno Fernandes, who also rounded off the scoring.For Wolves, this was yet another demoralising defeat, a 13th in 15 league matches. The last time they tasted victory, in April, Matheus Cunha, who enjoyed his return to Molineux, opened the scoring. Nine fan groups protested against the Wolves owner Fosun by boycotting the first 15 minutes of the match. They voiced anger at the players, too. “You’re not fit to wear the shirt,” they sang, and later jeered Jørgen Strand Larsen when he was taken off. Continue reading...
