23 h. ago Pep Guardiola left to rue dropped points as Manchester derby ends in a draw

Blunt and tame, the 196th Manchester derby was a curio that failed to ignite despite the cross-town rivalry, conjuring memories of the last goalless affair of this sort here, in December 2020, before an empty Old Trafford, owing to Covid.This edition can be rated slightly better yet, towards the close of play, when the substitute Joshua Zirkzee swung a boot at Patrick Dorgu’s cross and connected cleanly, the crowd perhaps sensed Ederson would save because a stalemate seemed so inevitable.

23 h. ago Pep Guardiola left to rue dropped points as Manchester derby ends in bore draw

Blunt and tame, this 196th ­Manchester derby was a curio that failed to ignite despite the cross-town rivalry. Towards the close, Joshua Zirkzee had the contest’s clearest opening: the No 11 swung a boot at Patrick Dorgu’s cross and connected cleanly but ­Ederson saved, cat-like, and ­Manchester City escaped; as they did, also, when a later penalty shout for Mateo ­Kovacic’s challenge on Casemiro was correctly waved away.So this finished as a non-event in the sun, with scant incident and only marginally more goalmouth action.

25 h. ago Rodrigo Muniz bullies past Van Dijk as leaders Liverpool falter at Fulham

That Liverpool will be deserved Premier League title winners but far from infallible has been obvious for some time. No need to panic just yet after defeat by the Thames. Collecting silverware while requiring further growth and repair can be taken as a positive sign.An often-rampant Fulham, enjoying their football perhaps because any pressures are now lifted, with the brilliant Alex Iwobi turning on the style, reminded top-tier English football is full of quality, that laurels can never be rested on. For Arne Slot, the first half – and much of the second – at Craven Cottage was a case study of what needs to improve, and such is the ruthlessness of successful dynasties, who will need to be replaced.

25 h. ago Enzo Maresca’s rotation gamble fails as Brentford hold Chelsea to goalless draw

Enzo Maresca’s calculated gamble did not come off. Chelsea’s head coach turned into the Tinkerman, benching Cole Palmer, Pedro Neto and Nicolas Jackson in an attempt to keep his best forwards fresh for the run-in, but his side’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League were dented by their failure to summon any attacking inspiration before it was too late.In fairness a point against motivated opponents may not prove to be the worst result in the final reckoning. Even so Chelsea have not won on the road since December and victory here would have tightened their grip on fourth place. The sense that this was a missed opportunity lingered, even if a punchy and resolute Brentford had chances to end an eight-match winless run at home. Continue reading...

26 h. ago Southampton endure historic Premier League relegation after defeat at Spurs

It may be that Southampton pick up the two points they need to surpass Derby’s 2007-08 tally of 11 so as not to be ranked the worst team in Premier League history, but no side has ever previously been relegated with seven games of the season remaining. In that sense, and that alone, this was a historic afternoon, a new high in abjection. A facile win, though, did not bring a huge amount of joy for Tottenham.It’s remarkable just how bad a team in Southampton’s position can become, how beaten-down players become unable to perform even the simplest functions. Like their 5-0 win at St Mary’s in December, the game that led to Russell Martin being dismissed, there was a sense that it was almost too straightforward to be meaningful. Yes, the knife cut through the butter; that doesn’t make it a good knife. Continue reading...
