Chelsea gifted goals by Spurs to gain 2-0 cup semifinal lead

With Tottenham's defenders giving away easy goals, Chelsea could restore tranquility while easing Romelu Lukaku back into the team. For Antonio Conte, though, it was a night of frustration on his return to Stamford Bridge four years after being fired by Chelsea as Tottenham lost 2-0 in the first leg of their League Cup semifinal on Wednesday. Kai Havertz's shot after five minutes was inadvertently diverted into his own net by Davinson Sanchez. More absurd was the own goal in the 34th minute after Hakim Ziyech's swung a free kick into the penalty area. There were no Chelsea players around Tottenham duo Japhet Tanganga and Ben Davies as they combined comically to gift the hosts a second goal. Tanganga's attempt at a headed clearance came off the shoulder of Davies and past their own goalkeeper, Hugo Lloris. "We try to improve the personality, try to make less mistakes during the game," Conte said. "Don't lose stupid balls. This is part of a process and I repeat I want to be very c

EPL: Manchester United labors to worrying first loss under Rangnick

Ralf Rangnick is beginning to understand just how big a job he has taken on at Manchester United. His players are already becoming dispirited, too. Rangnick fell to his first loss as United manager after Joao Moutinho's 82nd-minute strike earned Wolverhampton a 1-0 win in the English Premier League on Monday, and his team's first victory at Old Trafford since 1980. Outplayed for much of the game, United's players looked like they would survive for a point until Moutinho met a defensive headed clearance by controlling the ball at the edge of the area and driving in a volley that rolled just inside the post. This was the toughest test of Rangnick's opening six matches in charge and United at times couldn't get near Wolves, whose passing and movement was sharper in its first game in two weeks following COVID-19 issues in the squad. Wolves had 19 shots in total, with the 15 in the first half the most by a visiting team at Old Trafford since the league's statistic supplier, Opta, began

Chelsea-Liverpool draw thriller leaves Manchester City celebrating

The only winner was Manchester City. And Romelu Lukaku certainly lost out. What a pulsating, entertaining encounter for Lukaku to miss not out of his own choosing as Chelsea recovered to draw 2-2 with Liverpool on Sunday without the temporarily exiled striker. It left City 10 points clear from Chelsea at the top of the Premier League with Liverpool a further point back. The sky blue ribbons look like remaining on the trophy for another year thanks to the fading challenge from the chasing pack. It is a big gap," Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk said. They have the title, maybe, to lose but anything can happen. That's even before Liverpool is the hardest hit by players heading to the African Cup of Nations. Before leaving for what could be more than a month away, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah did contribute Liverpool's goals. Liverpool seemed to be coasting but was stung twice at the end of the first half with Mateo Kovacic's volley and Christian Pulisic's strike pulling Chelse
