Goodison Park will become the home of Everton's women's team from next season, the English club has said. Everton's men's team is preparing to bid an emotional farewell to its long-time stadium ahead of a move to the newly built, 53,000-seat venue at Bramley-Moore Dock ahead of the start of next season. Instead of Goodison Park being demolished, it will host Women's Super League matches, with the women's side moving from its nearby current home in Walton Hall Park. "This move is a testament to where the women's game is right now and, more importantly, where it is heading," Everton captain Megan Finnigan said on Tuesday. "Goodison is a magical stadium with a deep heritage and close ties to the local community. "Leading the team out for that first home match of next season will be nothing short of a career highlight and the prospect of what Everton Women can become with such an iconic ground to call our home is hugely exciting." The decision follows a review of the Goodison Legacy

Nottingham Forest's improbable bid for Champions League qualification was strengthened by a 1-0 win over ailing Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday, with winger Callum Hudson-Odoi scoring the goal in the 83rd minute. City goalkeeper Ederson Moraes was beaten at his near post by Hudson-Odoi's shot in one of few clear-cut chances in a tight game at the City Ground.

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim let Marcus Rashford leave the club because he couldn't convince the forward to follow his methods. I couldn't put Marcus to see the way you're supposed to play football and to train the way I see it, Amorim said in quotes published late Thursday.

He could make his debut for Villa on Sunday on an FA Cup match against Tottenham. Sometimes you have one player that is really good with one coach, and the same player with another coach is different, Amorim said. I just wish the best to Rashford and to (Villa manager) Unai Emery, and they can connect because he's a very good player. Asked whether Rashford said that he did not agree with Amorim's ideas about soccer, Amorim said: You know, like me, that it's not the way that occurs. It's something that you feel as a coach and as a player. It's qui

Referees are set to make in-stadium announcements about the outcome of video reviews in the Premier League from the start of next season and Liverpool manager Arne Slot isn't a fan. The protocol is currently being trialed in this season's English League Cup semifinals, with a first announcement coming in the first leg of Tottenham's match with Liverpool when a goal for Spurs was ruled out for offside. Tony Scholes, the Premier League's chief football officer, told reporters the protocol could now be used in league play, too. Asked for his reaction, Slot said for me, that's not necessary, but he did acknowledge it might benefit match-going fans in the stadium. If the fans like it and it's something nice for the fans, let's do this, said Slot, speaking Wednesday ahead of the second leg against Tottenham on Thursday, which Liverpool goes into trailing 1-0.
