City halted Liverpool’s recent mini-revival in its tracks, with Erling Haaland setting them on their way as he continued his remarkable scoring form with his 28th goal for club and country this season.

Matthijs de Ligt scored a 96th-minute equaliser as Manchester United salvaged a last-gasp 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur at the new Tottenham Hostspur stadium. In a suprising end to a game the visitors seemed to have control of, Brazilian striker Richarlison appeared to have won the game for Tottenham when he flicked Wilson Odobert’s long-range shot past Senne Lammens. But in the last of six minutes of injury time, De Ligt found the net at the far post to salvage a point for the Red devils.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have sacked manager Vitor Pereira after a disappointing start to the Premier League season that has left them winless and bottom of the table, the club have confirmed on Sunday.

They are eight points from the safety zone, having scored the fewest goals while they also have the league’s worst defence. Pereira’s departure ends an 11-month spell in charge after he joined in December 2024, replacing Gary O’Neil with Wolves languishing in 19th place. The…
Joao Pedro ended his 10-game goal drought to give Chelsea a deserved 1-0 victory against Tottenham. The 24-year-old Brazilian has been struggling for both fitness and form but confidently chipped in the winner after persistent pressing by Moises Caicedo forced defender Micky van de Ven into a mistake inside his own box. Pedro could have had a hat-trick by half-time but for two fine saves by Italian keeper Guglielmo Vicario who saved low to his right and then reacted quickly to tip away a volley. But in the end, that solitary goal was enough to beat a Spurs side that…
Premier League leaders Arsenal continued their impressive run with a comfortable win at Burnley to make it nine consecutive victories in all competitions.

It was an impressive victory against a Burnley side that can often prove difficult to break down and had recorded back-to-back victories before facing the Gunners. But no side has scored more goals from…

The Red devils thought they were heading for a fourth straight win and second spot in the table after Casemiro headed them into a half-time lead from a corner Forest were convinced should not have been awarded. A period of sustained Forest pressure at the start of the second half paid handsome rewards, as they netted twice in the space of 92 seconds to completely turn the game on its head. First, Morgan Gibbs-White met Ryan…
