Enzo Maresca hails 'perfect day' as City rally 2-1 win; Liverpool draw late

A big welcome from the fans at the start. A stoppage-time winner at the end. For Enzo Maresca, it was the "perfect day" as he earned his first victory as Manchester City manager. City produced a stirring late rally in Maresca's first Premier League game in charge, scoring twice in the final 10 minutes to grab a 2-1 win at home to Bournemouth on Sunday. Josko Gvardiol placed a finish into the bottom corner in the first minute of added-on time for the winner, which was initially given offside before being awarded following a video review. Marc Guehi had equalized with a 84th-minute header from a corner to start the comeback. Maresca, the successor to Pep Guardiola, punched the air when Gvardiol's goal was awarded and went onto the field after the final whistle to hug his players. A huge banner, reading "Welcome back Enzo," had been held aloft by City fans as the Italian - Guardiola's assistant in City's treble-winning 2022-23 season - emerged from the tunnel before kickoff Wearing

Araujo calls Liverpool loan an 'ideal move' after leaving Barcelona

Uruguay defender Ronald Araujo believes he has made an "ideal move" to Liverpool after his season-long loan from Barcelona was confirmed on Monday. The 27-year-old Araujo has taken a pay cut to facilitate the move. Liverpool has an option to buy him for a pre-agreed price - reportedly 47 million pounds ($63 million) - should the move prove successful. "It was the ideal move for me at this stage in my career. It was a move that was necessary for me to take," Araujo told the club website. "As soon as I heard that interest from Liverpool, everything went into action really, really quickly. I'm super happy to be here and excited to get started." Defense was an area which needed strengthening following the departure of Ibrahima Konate at the conclusion of his contract and the ongoing injury issues at right back. Liverpool believe Araujo's experience - he was named Barcelona captain in January - is important and, significantly, he is up to speed having been involved in the Catalans' ...

Liverpool forward Hugo Ekitike to miss World Cup for France with leg injury

Liverpool striker Hugo Ekitike will miss the World Cup because of a serious leg injury, France coach Didier Deschamps confirmed Wednesday. Ekitike sustained a suspected Achilles tendon injury in the 27th minute of Tuesday's Champions League match between Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain and was taken off the field on a stretcher. "The severity of his injury will unfortunately prevent him from finishing the season with Liverpool and from participating in the World Cup," Deschamps said. Serious Achilles injuries can take more than six months to fully recover from. Liverpool did not immediately confirm the news, but coach Arne Slot said Tuesday that the injury looked "really bad." Ekitike has been one of Liverpool's top players this season and was expected to be part of France's squad for the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico. He has scored 19 goals for club and country and scored for France in its 2-1 win over Brazil last month. "Hugo is one of about 10 young playe

Liverpool boosted by Isak return before UCL quarterfinal match against PSG

Alexander Isak was included in Liverpool's squad to face Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal on Wednesday. The Sweden striker traveled with the team to Paris after taking part in training on Tuesday. Isak is set to make his return after having surgery in late December on a broken ankle and fibula. Liverpool manager Arne Slot said Isak is fit enough to play but not to start at Parc des Princes. "He finished close to a week of team training sessions, he can play a part otherwise I wouldn't take him," Slot said Tuesday at a pre-game news conference. "We think we can get a performance out of him now, but not to start." Isak joined Liverpool in the offseason from Newcastle for a British-record fee for 125 million pounds ($170 million). Before the injury, however, he made a slow start, scoring three goals in 16 games overall after netting 62 in 109 matches for Newcastle. His return is also good news for Sweden, which hopes to pair him alongside ..

UCL quarterfinals: PSG-Liverpool, Real Madrid-Bayern take spotlight

Football at its very best. That was Arne Slot's memory of Liverpool's richly entertaining meeting with Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last season. OK, Liverpool ultimately went out, beaten at Anfield in a round-of-16 penalty shootout by the team that would go on to win the competition for the first time, but Slot loved the way his side played and still maintains it was "the best game I've managed in my career." They meet again almost 12 months on, with Liverpool - and Slot - in a very different place. Indeed, the Dutch coach appears to be fighting for his job heading into the upcoming quarterfinal doubleheader with the European champions that starts with the first leg in Paris on Wednesday. A 4-0 loss at Manchester City in the FA Cup on Saturday was Liverpool's latest poor result of a season that initially began with so much hope after the club's record summer splurge of $570 million on new players on the back of cruising to the Premier League title. With the Reds ha

Salah begins farewell tour with Liverpool at Man City in FA Cup clash

Mohamed Salah's long goodbye to Liverpool begins on Saturday in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup, the competition which represents his best chance of a trophy in his final year at Anfield. The Egypt winger announced last week that he will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season after nine years at a club where he has broken scoring records and established himself as one of the world's best players. Salah potentially has 15 games left in the famous red shirt: Seven in the Premier League as well as three in the FA Cup and five in the Champions League, should Liverpool reach the final in both of those competitions. That won't be easy. In the Champions League, defending champion Paris Saint-Germain is up next in the two-leg quarterfinals and it's pretty much as tough in the FA Cup, with Liverpool handed an away match at Manchester City. Salah, who has 255 goals in 435 appearances for Liverpool, missed the Reds' last game before the international break - a 2-1 loss at Brighton in

Mohamed Salah's top 5 iconic moments during his time at Liverpool FC

From crucial goals to historic performances, here are five of Salah's most memorable contributions in a Liverpool shirt.

Brighton hand Liverpool 2-1 defeat to extend Premier League slump

Liverpool's troubles in the Premier League intensified with a 2-1 loss at Brighton on Saturday, leaving the stuttering defending champions on a three-match winless run and under threat of dropping out of the Champions League qualification spots. Danny Welbeck scored twice for Brighton at Amex Stadium, either side of Milos Kerkez's equalizer for Liverpool in its latest disjointed display under manager Arne Slot. Liverpool has taken just one point from its last three league games and is in fifth place, one point ahead of sixth-place Chelsea ahead of its match at Everton later. Like last season, the top five finishers in the Premier League are expected to qualify for the Champions League. To add to Liverpool's woes, striker Hugo Ekitike hobbled off in the eighth minute with a left leg problem and joined an injury list that also includes Mohamed Salah and Alisson Becker, who got hurt this week. Few could have expected Liverpool's title defense to be so underwhelming when the club spent

Salah stars as Liverpool book Champions League showdown with PSG

It has been a season to forget for Mohamed Salah. But the Egyptian icon fired Liverpool into the quarterfinals of the Champions League on Wednesday, scoring his 50th Champions League goal. But this is still far from vintage Salah. He got a first-half penalty so wrong that it was hard to tell if he was trying an audacious Panenka' chip or if it was simply a horrible mis-kick. Either way, it was an embarrassing moment just before halftime and all too typical of a campaign in which Salah's powers appear to have diminished. That all changed after the break when he was at the heart of a Liverpool goal spree that sealed a 4-1 aggregate win over Galatasaray and set up a showdown with defending champion Paris Saint-Germain. "That tells you about the mental strength of him," Liverpool coach Arne Slot said. With Liverpool leading 1-0 at halftime through Dominik Szoboszlai's goal, Salah crossed for Hugo Ekitike to double the advantage. Two minutes later, his fierce shot was saved by Galatasa

Liverpool hit as defender Conor Bradley sustains serious knee injury blow

Liverpool defender Conor Bradley will undergo surgery after sustaining a significant knee injury, the Premier League club. Bradley was injured late in Thursday's 0-0 draw against Arsenal. Liverpool said Bradley would have an operation in the coming days before starting his rehabilitation. No time frame is being placed on his return to playing at this stage of the process, it said in a statement. Bradley was left writhing around in pain near the sideline after landing awkwardly on his left knee making a clearance in stoppage time against Arsenal. Arsenal's Gabriel Martinelli sparked an angry reaction from Liverpool players when he tried to bundle Bradley off the field in the final seconds to try to get the game going. He has since apologized. Conor and I have messaged and I've already apologized to him, Martinelli wrote in a post on Instagram. I really didn't understand he was seriously injured in the heat of the moment. I want to say I'm deeply sorry for reacting. Sending Conor
