Manchester City triumph on derby day

By Samuel A. Soccer

Manchester City cruised past Manchester United with ease at Old Trafford on Sunday as Erling Haaland struck twice and Phil Foden added another to give Manchester City a dominant derby day victory, taking the club up to third, tied on points with Arsenal and two points behind Premier League leaders Tottenham Hotspur. City had lost their last two on the road in the Premier League prior to this one, but had too much for the current United side who, despite a recent run of narrow wins amid injuries, have issues to address across the pitch.

By Samuel A. Soccer

By Samuel A. Soccer

Gabriel Martinelli’s deflected effort in the 86th minute of the game gave Arsenal a very much needed 1-0 win over title rivals Manchester City, making it the first time they’ve won against the Manchester Club since their 2-1 win in 2015. The brilliant Brazilian winger had missed the last five games prior due to injury, but gave Arsenal momentum when he came on at half time, and then capped it all with a perfectly timed goal with just four minutes of normal time remaining.

Liverpool controversially lose to Spurs

By Samuel A. Soccer

The match between Tottenham and Liverpool on Saturday was a classic. After being reduced to nine players, Liverpool didn’t go down without a fight, until the end of the match saw Joel Matip concede a 96th minute own goal as Tottenham edged out a 2-1 win in a Premier League thriller to go second in the table above their rivals Arsenal. However, it all could have been different and Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp had already slammed “the most unfair circumstances, crazy decisions,” before referee body PGMOL officially apologised for Luis Diaz’s first-half strike being disallowed for offside.

By Samuel A. Soccer

Napoli striker Victor Osimhen have turned against each other over the case of a TikTok video posted by the club’s official page.
