The opening night of the new Premier League season contained tearful tributes, high drama, allegations of racist abuse and another reminder that, when it comes to indefatigable spirit and the will-to-win, Liverpool have few rivals.Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo, who reported being racially abused by a Liverpool fan during the first half at Anfield, appeared to have delivered a point for Andoni Iraoli’s side when hauling the visitors back from two goals down. An 88th minute volley from Liverpool substitute Federico Chiesa, however, plus a stoppage time strike from Mohamed Salah conjured a rescue act for Arne Slot’s champions. Salah was in tears after the final whistle as he stood in front of the Kop and absorbed a tribute to Diogo Jota. Continue reading...

8 d. ago Football Daily | What factors will emerge to stop Arsenal winning the Premier League this time?

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!The last time Arsenal notched up three consecutive second-place finishes in the top flight, they went on to win the league fairly comfortably the following season, beating Liverpool by seven points. With Mikel Arteta now in Phase 19 of the five-phase plan he embarked on to establish his side as champions, trophy-hungry fans of the club will be hoping he can emulate his predecessor, Arsène Wenger, by masterminding a successful title tilt after back-to-back-to-back finishes as runners-up. During his time at Arsenal, Arteta has left virtually no stone unturned in his attempts to maximise the potential of his squad, using opposing team’s anthems, a team of pickpockets, a longwinded metaphor involving lightbulbs, a training ground labrador, a bowl of lemons and an olive tree in his as yet unsuccessful efforts to get them over the line and on to the Premier League winners’ podium in May.It’s a dream come true.
