Arsenal throw away two-goal lead vs Wolves as Man City title race heats

Arsenal blew a two-goal lead at last-place Wolves to give a huge boost to Manchester City in the race for the Premier League title. The league leader was held to a surprise 2-2 draw at Molineux on Wednesday, having led 2-0 in the second half. Teenage debutant Tom Edozie scored in the fourth minute of added time to complete Wolves' comeback. "There was a big difference in how we played in the first half and the second half. We dropped our standards and we got punished for it," Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka told the BBC. The draw means Arsenal has dropped points in back-to-back games and leaves it just five ahead of second-place City, having played a game more. With the top two still to play each other at City's Etihad Stadium, the title race is too close to call. "(It's) time to focus on ourselves, improve our standards and improve our performances and it is in our control," Saka said. Arsenal has led the way for the majority of the season and one bookmaker paid out on Mikel Arteta

Haaland seals late winner as Man City beat Liverpool to boost title bid

Erling Haaland kept Manchester City's Premier League title hopes alive with a dramatic late penalty at Liverpool. The Norwegian struck in second-half stoppage time in an explosive game at Anfield on Sunday to seal a 2-1 win and cut the gap on first-place Arsenal back to six points. City's title prospects looked in dire shape when Dominik Szoboszlai crashed a stunning long-range free kick in off the post in the 74th minute. And even when Bernardo Silva equalized 10 minutes later, second-place City was still looking at ending the match eight points adrift. But Haaland sent the away fans wild by firing into the bottom corner from the spot in the 93rd after Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson brought down Matheus Nunes in the box. "I was really nervous right beforehand. All my thoughts were getting in the back of the net," Haaland told Sky Sports. "Incredible feeling." Even after Haaland's goal, the drama was far from over. City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma produced a spectacular save to

Tottenham's comeback draw vs Man City gives Arsenal edge in title race

Tottenham did fierce rival Arsenal a huge favor in the Premier League title race. Dominik Solanke scored a second-half double - including one from an outrageous scorpion kick - as Spurs came from two goals down to salvage a 2-2 draw with second-place Manchester City on Sunday, leaving Arsenal with a six-point lead with 14 games left. It was almost the perfect day for the leaders, with Aston Villa - the other title contender - losing 1-0 at home to 10-man Brentford. Villa stayed seven points adrift of Arsenal and was in danger of being reeled in by fourth-place Manchester United, which scored a stoppage-time winner through Benjamin Sesko to beat Fulham 3-2 for a third straight league win under new manager Michael Carrick. Having already overseen victories over City and Arsenal in his short tenure, Carrick appears to have the magic touch at revitalized United. The same cannot be said of Pep Guardiola at the moment.

Alexander-Arnold sustains leg injury prior to Real Madrid vs Man City match

Trent Alexander-Arnold has injured his left leg days before Real Madrid faces Manchester City in the Champions League. The England right back hurt an upper left leg muscle. He exited a 3-0 win at Athletic Bilbao early in the second half on Wednesday. The former Liverpool player was sidelined for around six weeks this season due to a different left leg injury. Alexander-Arnold made four consecutive starts for Xabi Alonso's side before this latest setback. The club did not indicate on Thursday how long it expected Alexander-Arnold to be out. Madrid hosts Celta Vigo in La Liga on Sunday and welcomes City three days later in the Champions League. Madrid's other right back, Dani Carvajal, was also unavailable after requiring arthroscopic surgery on his right knee.

Man City crush Liverpool 3-0 in Pep Guardiola's milestone 1,000th game

In his 1,000th game as a manager, Pep Guardiola celebrated victory as if it was his first. Manchester City's 3-0 triumph over Liverpool on Sunday was win No. 716 for Guardiola and likely one of the most satisfying of his trophy-laden career. Not only did City totally dominate the defending Premier League champion and one of Guardiola's fiercest rivals in a career spanning Spain, Germany and England - but the result firmly established his team as a genuine contender for the title this season. Thank you to the players and staff for giving me that incredible present (against) the most important opponent in my time here by far," the City manager said afterward. City moved up to second in the standings - just four points behind leader Arsenal, with a well-established record when it comes to chasing down Mikel Arteta's team. It happened in back-to-back seasons in 2023 and 2024 and City's momentum has an ominous feel about it after taking advantage of Arsenal's surprise 2-2 draw with ...

Centre condemns terror attack on Manchester synagogue during Yom Kippur

India on Thursday condemned the deadly terror attack on a synagogue in Britain's Manchester, and said it is yet another grim reminder of the challenge the world is facing from the "evil forces of terrorism". Two people were killed when an assailant drove a car into people outside the Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester and then stabbed them. New Delhi said it stands in solidarity with the people of the United Kingdom in this moment of grief. "We condemn the terror attack on the Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester, during Yom Kippur services today," External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said. "It is particularly saddening that this heinous act was committed on the International Day of Non-violence," he said on X. "This attack is yet another grim reminder of the challenge we face from the evil forces of terrorism, which the global community must combat and defeat through united and concerted action," Jaiswal said. He said India's thoughts and prayers are with the .

Haaland breaks fresh Champions League mark though Ronaldo's lead remains

Another goal, another record for Erling Haaland. The Manchester City striker became the fastest player to score 50 goals in the Champions League in a 2-0 win over Napoli on Thursday reaching the landmark in his 49th game in European club soccer's top competition. Haaland surpassed the previous record by former Manchester United and Real Madrid forward Ruud van Nistelrooy, who took 62 games to reach that total. He seems to break every record going. At his age, it's unheard of what he's doing, City teammate Phil Foden said. At the age of 25, Haaland looks capable of chasing down Cristiano Ronaldo's all-time Champions League record of 141 goals. The numbers speak for itself, City manager Pep Guardiola said. If he plays 10, 12 years... if he maintains this progression, absolutely (he can). Haaland already took Van Nistelrooy's Champions League record as the fastest player to score 30 goals, back in 2023. That same year he became the fastest player to score 50 in the Premier League.

Rashford powers Barcelona to win, De Bruyne denied joy on City return night

Marcus Rashford proved the perfect replacement for Lamine Yamal in Barcelona's 2-1 win at Newcastle in the Champions League and Kevin De Bruyne watched mostly from the sideline as Napoli lost 2-0 at his former club Manchester City. With Yamal missing through injury, Rashford a loan signing from Manchester United got a start on his return to England and scored both of Barcelona's goals at St. James' Park. The second took the breath away, a piledriver from 25 meters that flew in off the crossbar. De Bruyne was also back on English soil, at the club where he spent 10 years before an emotional farewell in May. But his Etihad Stadium return lasted 26 minutes before he was substituted following a red card for teammate Giovanni Di Lorenzo and City wound up a comfortable winner thanks to second-half goals from Erling Haaland and Jeremy Doku. Haaland's header put him on 50 goals in 49 Champions League appearances, with the Norway striker reaching that milestone quicker than any other playe

Donnarumma arrives at Man City, Ederson departs for Fenerbahce in swap move

Manchester City signed Gianluigi Donnarumma from Paris Saint-Germain after selling long-time goalkeeper Ederson Moraes to Fenerbahce on Tuesday, in a switch that seems at odds with the playing approach by the once-dominant Premier League team. Donnarumma one of the world's best shot-stoppers was a key figure in PSG's run to the Champions League title last season but was deemed surplus to requirements at the French club following the signing of Lucas Chevalier from Lille last month. City has moved for the 26-year-old Donnarumma even though his strength isn't passing the ball out from the back typically a key requisite for goalkeepers in teams coached by Pep Guardiola. That's what Ederson excelled at, helping to revolutionize the goalkeeper position in English soccer with his uncanny calmness under pressure with the ball at his feet and ability to start attacks from deep. The Brazil international had seven assists in the Premier League two more than any other goalie thanks to his

Man City slump to 2-1 defeat at Brighton despite early Haaland strike

Brighton came from behind to beat Manchester City 2-1 on Sunday in the Premier League for the second straight season, highlighting the vulnerabilities still present in Pep Guardiola's once-dominant team. Brajan Gruda surged through an open defense, rounded the goalkeeper and slotted into an empty net for an 89th-minute winner for Brighton, which trailed to Erling Haaland's first-half strike his 88th goal in 100 Premier League appearances since moving to England in 2022. City conceded an equalizer in the 67th minute after Matheus Nunes raised his arm in the area to block a shot, with James Milner converting the penalty for Brighton. With City noticeably fading, Brighton created a succession of chances before Gruda converted one. After opening with a 4-0 win at Wolverhampton, City has lost 2-0 at home to Tottenham and now caved at Amex Stadium. West Ham eased the pressure on manager Graham Potter with a 3-0 win at Nottingham Forest, secured by late goals by Jarrod Bowen, Lucas Paqu
