Liverpool's new era under manager Arne Slot begins with a win at Ipswich

Liverpool's new era under Arne Slot began with a 2-0 victory over promoted Ipswich on Saturday, with Mohamed Salah netting the second goal to break a Premier League scoring record. Salah poked home a finish from close range in the 65th minute to take his tally of goals in the opening round of a Premier League season to nine, breaking a tie he had with a trio of English soccer greats in Wayne Rooney, Alan Shearer and Frank Lampard. Five minutes earlier, Salah set up Diogo Jota for the first goal as Liverpool improved after a slow first half in its first competitive game under Slot, who replaced longtime manager Jurgen Klopp during the offseason. While Liverpool joined Manchester United a 1-0 winner over Fulham on Friday in making a triumphant start to the season, it was an early lesson for Ipswich, whose most famous supporter, pop star Ed Sheeran, was cheering the team on from a VIP box at Portman Road. This is Ipswich's first season in the top flight since 2002 and the team looks

Much-changed Spain beats Albania 1-0 at Euro 2024 to finish group stage

Spain changed almost its entire lineup and still kept up its victorious start to the European Championship with a 1-0 win over Albania, which was eliminated. With his team already assured of winning Group B, coach Luis de la Fuente changed 10 of his starters and Spain won all three group games at a Euros for the first time since 2008, when it went on to win the tournament. A 13th-minute goal from Ferran Torres and goalkeeper David Raya's stoppage-time save from Armando Broja ensured Spain completed the group stage without conceding a goal. Every player is ready to play in this first 11 and that's key. Anyone can decide a game for you and players coming off the bench are very important as well, Torres, who made his first start of Euro 2024, said through a translator. I will try to make things difficult for my coach so that he will have to play me. Torres scored with a deflection off the post from Dani OImo's pass, and put his fingers to his ears in his goal celebration. He said the

Liverpool hires Hughes as sporting director to find Klopp's successor

Liverpool's restructuring of its technical staff continued on Wednesday when the club hired Richard Hughes as sporting director starting June 1. Hughes is leaving his role as technical director at Bournemouth to take up the post at Liverpool after previously working with Michael Edwards, who was hired last week as chief executive of football at Fenway Sports Group the US-based conglomerate whose portfolio of sports teams includes Liverpool. Hughes' main task will be identifying a replacement for Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who said in January that he will be stepping down after nearly nine years as manager. "It is clear to everyone that Jurgen will leave a legacy to build upon," Edwards said," and in Richard we have the right person to make the key decisions and offer the leadership to take us forward into a bright future. "As one very successful chapter will come to a close for Liverpool in the summer, the objective of everyone here is for another one to begin and with Richa

Europa League: Liverpool rout Sparta 11-2 on aggregate to reach last 8

Mohamed Salah scored one goal and set up three to help Liverpool demolish Sparta Prague 6-1 and march into the Europa League quarterfinals. After winning 5-1 the opening leg of their last 16 tie in Prague, Liverpool scored four in the opening 14 minutes at Anfield on Thursday to advance on a massive 11-2 aggregate score. Sparta had no answer to Liverpool's high pressure. Salah seized the ball on the right of the area before shooting inside the far post over Sparta goalkeeper Peter Vindahl for his 20th goal of the season, becoming the first Liverpool player to score at least 20 goals in seven straight seasons. Salah, who injured his hamstring with Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations in January, started after having been used as a substitute in both the first leg in Prague and a 1-1 draw with Manchester City on Sunday. Darwin Nunez opened the rout with a clinical low finish seven minutes into the game after scoring two in Prague. A minute later, Salah won the ball on the edge of the

Klopp, Guardiola serve up another EPL classic but Arsenal is the big winner

Liverpool and Manchester City showed the Premier League what it will be missing when Jurgen Klopp walks away at the end of the season. Anfield played host to a typically full-blooded, high octane clash of titans in the last English top-flight encounter between Klopp and Pep Guardiola before the Liverpool manager stands down. No wonder Guardiola says he will sleep easier when his long-time rival is no longer standing in his way. He likened Liverpool to a "tsunami" as the defending champions had to dig deep to survive long periods of pressure in the second half. "Oh my God, they come from everywhere," Guardiola said after a 1-1 draw on Sunday that kept second-place Liverpool one point ahead of City in third. Arsenal ended the weekend top of the standings on goal difference, but the Londoners' 2-1 win at Brentford on Saturday felt like a sub plot in comparison to the latest and possibly last clash between Klopp and Guardiola. John Stones gave City a first-half lead and Alexis Mac ..

EPL: Liverpool is exhausted, injury-hit and relying heavily on youngsters

Exhausted, injury-hit and relying on a bunch of academy prospects, Liverpool continues to pull off victories in the business end of Jurgen Klopp's final season in charge. No English Premier League win by the Reds has been sealed as late as the one at Nottingham Forest on Saturday. Uruguay striker Darwin Nunez came off the bench and glanced home a header in the ninth minute of stoppage time to sink Forest 1-0 and move Liverpool four points clear. It was a sixth straight win in all competitions for Liverpool and a fourth in an 11-day span that included an extra-time victory over Chelsea in the English League Cup final. "If you'd told me 12 days ago we would win all four games, I would have said no chance it was impossible," said Klopp, who will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season after nearly nine years. "In the circumstances, winning the games is ridiculous." Second-placed Manchester City will look to restore the gap to Liverpool to one point by beating Manchester Unit

Jota out for months, confirms Klopp; Liverpool's injury crisis deepens

Liverpool forward Diogo Jota will be missing for months because of injury, manager Jurgen Klopp said on Tuesday. The Portugal international hurt his right knee in the first half of Liverpool's 4-1 win at Brentford in the English Premier League on Saturday. We have Diogo with a knee issue ruled out it will obviously take months, Klopp said ahead of Liverpool's home match against Luton on Wednesday. The injury potentially threatens Jota's involvement in the European Championship in Germany starting in June. Liverpool's injury crisis has deepened, with nine senior players unavailable heading into a key period of the season that includes the English League Cup final against Chelsea on Sunday. Klopp didn't give a return date for injured pair Curtis Jones or Alisson Becker and he described Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dominik Szoboszlai as longer term problems. Striker Darwin Nunez was replaced at halftime against Brentford as a precaution.

Manchester City keeps the pressure on Liverpool in EPL title race

Watch out, Premier League. The competition's most lethal attacking combination is back in tandem. Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne both recently back from long injury absences linked up for the clinching goal in Manchester City's 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday in what will be a worrying sight for the defending champions' rivals. Liverpool remained in first place after a 3-1 victory over Burnley but City is ominously placed on the leader's shoulder, two points behind with a game in hand, and with its superstar attackers back in the groove. Make it 12 times that De Bruyne has set up Haaland for a goal since they started playing together at the beginning of last season following the striker's move to England. No other Premier League partnership has delivered that many goals in this period. With him, I know I'm going to get it perfect. You know the ball is going to come, Haaland said of De Bruyne, English soccer's king of the assists. I watch a lot of football and I already saw

EPL 2023-24: Klopp to step down as Liverpool manager at end of season

Jurgen Klopp has announced he will step down as Liverpool manager at the end of this season. Klopp has led Liverpool to a Champions League title and Premier League championship in his tenure after being hired in October 2015. He made the shock announcement Friday that he will resign at the end of the season, saying he is running out of energy. I have to. I will leave the club at the end of the season. I can understand that it's a shock for a lot of people in this moment when you hear it for the first time, but obviously, I can explain it or at least try to explain it, Klopp said. I love absolutely everything about this club, I love everything about the city, I love everything about our supporters, I love the team. I love the staff. I love everything. That I still take this decision probably shows you that I'm convinced it's the one I have to take. It is that I'm how can I say this? that I'm running out of energy.

Liverpool defends Salah against accusations he is not committed to Egypt

Liverpool defended Mohamed Salah against accusations he was showing a lack of commitment to Egypt by returning to his club from the Africa Cup of Nations to get treatment for a hamstring injury. Salah, one of the most high-profile players at the Africa Cup, is scheduled to fly back to England on Wednesday and will begin an intensive rehabilitation program, Liverpool said, to get him healthy again before the end of the competition. Liverpool assistant coach Pep Lijnders said on Tuesday that Salah has a proper tear in his hamstring, which is expected to keep the winger out for three to four weeks, backing up a timeline given by Salah's agent on X, formerly Twitter. Former Egypt international Ahmed Hassan said in the British newspaper The Daily Mirror that Salah should be staying with the Egypt squad no matter what, even if he only had one leg to stand on, adding that the team captain was plotting his departure from the Egypt camp. Lijnders was quick to downplay those comments. The o

Liverpool defender Alexander-Arnold to miss three weeks due to knee injury

Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold will be sidelined for three weeks because of a slightly torn knee ligament, the team said Tuesday. The right-back hyperextended his knee during Liverpool's 2-0 win over Arsenal in an FA Cup third-round game Sunday. Tests showed a little tear to the lateral ligament, assistant manager Pep Lijnders said ahead of the team's League Cup semifinal first leg against Fulham at Anfield on Wednesday. He will be out probably three weeks big blow, Lijnders said at a press conference. He was one of our most important players. Liverpool leads the Premier League by three points and was already preparing for an extended stretch without top scorer Mohamed Salah, who is on international duty with Egypt at the Africa Cup of Nations. Jurgen Klopp's team is also missing left-backs Andy Robertson (shoulder) and Kostas Tsimikas (collarbone), as well as central defender Joel Matip (ACL). Virgil van Dijk is available to play Wednesday after missing the Arsenal g

FA Cup: Liverpool beat Arsenal 2-0; De Bruyne back for City in 5-0 win

Three straight losses, an elimination from the FA Cup, and the ominous sight of Manchester City back in form and boosted by the return of Kevin De Bruyne. These are worrying times for Arsenal. In a heavyweight third-round matchup in the FA Cup, Arsenal's increasingly alarming problems in front of goal were further exposed in a 2-0 loss to Liverpool on Sunday. An end-to-end contest was settled by two late goals an own-goal by Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior in the 80th minute and a fierce strike by Luis Diaz in the fourth minute of stoppage time. Arsenal has now lost four of its last seven matches in all competitions, including its last three in a row. We need to reset, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said. This (upcoming winter) break is good. It has come at a good time. Arsenal has had 48 shots in its last two home games taking in the 2-0 loss to West Ham in the Premier League on Dec. 28 and not scored a goal. That statistic, plus a knee injury to first-choice striker Gabriel Jesu

Klopp hopes for Egypt's early exit from Cup of Nations, wants Salah back

Jurgen Klopp has wished Mohamed Salah good luck sort of for the Africa Cup of Nations tournament. Liverpool's top scorer this season could be absent for more than a month depending on how Egypt performs in the Ivory Coast. If Egypt reaches the final as it did in 2022 it would mean Salah missing at least seven Liverpool games, potentially eight if the Merseyside club gets past Arsenal on Sunday in the third round of the FA Cup. Defensive midfielder Wataru Endo will also be out of the lineup for the Premier League leader while on international duty for Japan at the Asian Cup. I said, If I wish you good luck it would be a lie,' the Liverpool manager joked Friday. No, I do, obviously. From a personal point of view, I would be overly happy if they go out of the group stage." "But, it's probably not possible, so it's fine and then they can go and win it as well. Good luck, see you, and come back healthy that's pretty much the words. Liverpool managed just fine without Salah last t
