Premier League: Arsenal get under City's skin amid 'dark arts' accusations

Call it the dark arts. Call it anti-football. Call it doing whatever it takes to win. Arsenal tried it all against Manchester City on Sunday in the latest chapter of the Premier League's new heavyweight rivalry and came within seconds of victory. There was only one team that came to play football, Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva grumbled after an intense, absorbing and incident-packed 2-2 draw at Etihad Stadium. The other came to play to the limits of what was possible to do and allowed by the referee, unfortunately. John Stones' equalizer for City in the eighth minute of second-half stoppage time denied Arsenal, which played with 10 men for the entire second half, what would have been a defining victory for a team that is getting closer and closer to Pep Guardiola's repeat champions. City's players know it, too. Hence Bernardo's outspoken post-match comments on Arsenal. Notice how Erling Haaland chucked the ball at the back of Arsenal defender Gabriel's head in City's

Diaz's brace helps Liverpool beat Bournemouth 3-0 to top of points table

Luis Daz scored two fine goals inside two minutes as Liverpool beat Bournemouth 3-0 to move to the top of the English Premier League on Saturday. Arne Slot's side leads Manchester City on goal difference only and the defending champion needs a draw at home to Arsenal in Sunday's big game to reclaim first place. On a rare quiet day for teammate Mohamed Salah in front of goal, Daz scored off both feet to display his own finishing skills at Anfield. The Colombia forward chased down a long pass from defender Ibrahima Konat, controlled the ball exquisitely on his waist as he turned, and then glided past goalkeeper Kepa before sliding the ball into the bottom left corner in the 28th minute. That was with his right foot, and his second goal came off his left in the 30th. Liverpool broke from midfield and Trent Alexander-Arnold galloped forward before slipping the ball to Daz inside the left of the penalty area and he clipped it neatly past Kepa. Darwin Nez scored a fine third in the 37t

Man City's hearing on FFP allegations could be a make-or-break moment

The biggest challenge to Manchester City's Premier League dominance was due to start on Monday at a hearing into a slew alleged financial breaches. On the line is City's reputation and punishment could be as extreme as expulsion from the league. City, which has won the last four league titles, denies the charges, which include providing misleading information about its finances. It will be down to a team of lawyers to clear the club's name and finally quash accusations that have cast a cloud over its unprecedented period of success. Manager Pep Guardiola confirmed on Friday that the long-awaited hearing into more than 100 charges of alleged financial wrongdoing was due to start. I'm happy it's starting on Monday. I know there will be more rumors, he said. Everybody is innocent until guilt is proven.

Haaland reaches 99 goals for Man City; Liverpool lose at Anfield to Forest

Erling Haaland moved to 99 goals for Manchester City after scoring twice in a 2-1 win against Brentford in the English Premier League on Saturday. The Norwegian's double maintained City's 100% start to the league after Yoane Wissa fired Brentford ahead with just 22 seconds on the clock. Liverpool lost for the first time under new manager Arne Slot, to Nottingham Forest by a shock 1-0 at Anfield. Manchester United won at Southampton 3-0 to end its two-game losing streak. Unstoppable Haaland ============== Haaland scored his 98th and 99th goals in his 103rd City appearance in all competitions. And he was the width of the post away from his third consecutive hat trick after trebles against Ipswich and West Ham. Haaland, who has been nominated for the Ballon d'Or, has nine goals in four league games. He has topped the league scoring charts in each of his two seasons at City since joining from Borussia Dortmund in 2022 for $63 million. Haaland's first goal after 19 minutes evened th

EPL: Man United beat Southampton 3-0 as Marcus Rashford ends goalless run

Marcus Rashford snapped a 12-game barren run in front of goal as Manchester United beat Southampton 3-0 in the Premier League on Saturday. Rashford doubled United's lead at Saint Mary's after Matthijs de Ligt's scored his first for the club. Substitute Alejandro Garnacho scored a third in the sixth minute of stoppage time. The win came after back-to-back defeats for United in a disappointing start to the season. Rashford hadn't scored since United's 4-3 win over Liverpool in the FA Cup in March. He curled in a shot from the edge of the area to put Erik ten Hag's team 2-0 up at Southampton in the 41st minute. De Ligt, who joined United from Bayern Munich in the off-season, headed in from Bruno Fernandes' cross in the 35th. It was a much-needed with for United after losses to Brighton and Liverpool in the first three games of the season. But it could have been a different story if Cameron Archer had converted a penalty for Southampton in the 33rd. Instead, his effort was saved by ..

Premier League: Next test for Slot is navigating Liverpool's busy schedule

Liverpool has yet to allow a goal this season and Mohamed Salah has scored in each of the three games all victories. If this is what contract distractions look like at Anfield, new manager Arne Slot is fine with it. Salah, captain Virgil van Dijk and right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold are all in the final year of their deals, and though it's still early in the Premier League season Liverpool is the only team keeping pace with defending champion Manchester City. Slot reiterated Friday at a press conference that we don't talk about contract situations over here unless there's a new deal and said the focus is on making it four wins in a row when Nottingham Forest visits Merseyside on Saturday. I'm fully focused on the individuals and the team," he said about the trio in question, and they are part of the team and trying to work with them in the best possible way to get the best out of them.

Madueke nets hat trick for Chelsea; Arne Slot gets win in Anfield debut

After being constantly booed by the home crowd for a disparaging social media post about Wolverhampton, Noni Madueke responded with a second-half hat trick to give Chelsea its first Premier League win under manager Enzo Maresca. Madueke netted three goals in a 14-minute span all of them assisted by Cole Palmer to spark a 6-2 win over Wolves on Sunday that at times had the same kind of chaotic feel that envelops most things at Chelsea these days. But the emphatic second-half performance also indicated that Maresca may already be figuring out how to use the wealth of attacking talent at his disposal and overshadowed a more routine 2-0 win for Liverpool against Brentford in new manager Arne Slot's first game at Anfield. Madueke's hat trick capped a day where he had already drawn headlines for an Instagram post that used an expletive to describe everything about this place after Chelsea arrived in Wolverhampton. While he later deleted the post, Wolves fans let him know they didn't ..
