A video has surfaced which seems to show that Fikayo Tomori and Tammy Abraham conspired to ensure that the latter took the second penalty against Fiorentina last night. The story that seems to be dominating the media headlines this morning concerns the issue of who takes penalties for Milan after Christian Pulisic was confirmed as the designated taker of spot kicks by Paulo Fonseca after the game. The Rossoneri got two penalties and Pulisic took neither, with Theo Hernandez and Abraham each seeing efforts saved by David De Gea either side of the half-time interval. Now, a clip has begun circulating on…
Former Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea produced a match-winning performance as Fiorentina secured a thrilling 2-1 victory over AC Milan at the Stadio Artemio Franchi. In a game full of drama, De Gea’s two stunning penalty saves were crucial in securing the win for the home side. The match had it all: well-taken goals, missed penalties, incredible saves, and red cards. Fiorentina had an early opportunity to take the lead, but Moise Kean missed a penalty in the 22nd minute, setting the tone for a roller-coaster encounter. AC Milan struck first through Yacine Adli, whose low shot hit the…
Jeremy Doku was Manchester City’s matchwinner against Fulham on a day they might have found a Rodri replacement solution and Erling Haaland struggled again. Haaland’s 11 goals in 10 games for City is a ridiculous figure. It’s one we take for granted, but it’s also true that nine of those goals came in the first five appearances of the season and just two in his last five. It’s hardly a concern by any stretch – he’s had barely any space to operate and City have also been here before. So when Haaland isn’t able to fire, they need someone else…
Manchester City are said to have scored a major victory over the Premier League after their new rules on sponsorship deals were branded as ‘unlawful’ A panel of retired judges have ruled that the Associated Party Transactions (APT) regulations are unlawful. They ruled the regulations, aimed at preventing clubs from inflating deals with companies linked to their owners, breach the Competition Act. City, who are currently facing 115 charges of breaking Premier League financial rules in a separate case, took the Premier League to court earlier this year. The Abu-Dhabi outfit slammed the rules as unfair. According to the Daily…

Michele Criscitiello of Sportitalia believes that not even having a conversation with Antonio Conte in the summer about becoming the new head coach is ‘AC Milan’s biggest regret’. Heading into the summer there were calls from a section of the fanbase to hire Conte given that he has multiple trophies to his name and was seen by some to be a demanding coach who could take the club to the next level. It has even emerged in recent days that some leaders of the Curva Sud were working to try and persuade the club to hire him during the summer,…
Paulo Fonseca seemed particularly irritated by what he saw during AC Milan’s defeat to Fiorentina last night and the backlash he is predicting after the result. Milan’s winning run in Serie A was ended on Sunday night as they lost 2-1 against Fiorentina at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in a dramatic encounter that featured three penalties – two for the Rossoneri, all missed – and a late red card for Theo Hernandez. David De Gea saved spot kicks from Theo Hernandez and Tammy Abraham after Yacine Adli’s opener, then Christian Pulisic’s volley made it 1-1. However, Albert Gudmundsson would strike…
Theo Hernandez turned 27 yesterday, and his performance against Fiorentina meant that it was a birthday to forget with the armband on. La Gazzetta dello Sport write that it is quite strange to think that Theo has turned 27. It should be the age of full maturity, the age when – especially after a bad game from the whole team – it would be necessary to avoid adding an unpleasant burden. To tell the story of the Frenchman’s dark night, it is inevitable to start from the end, which was the straight red card that he was given by Luca…

The Colombia international was already under contract until 2028, while the terms of his new deal have not been disclosed. His…
Micky van de Ven registered the fastest speed in the Premier League this season in 3-0 win against Man Utd; centre-back is only player to smash 37 km/h this season. United were trailing 1-0 in first-half stoppage-time when Mason Mount brought the ball out from his own box and looked to unleash Alejandro Garnacho down the right flank – but Van de Ven closed down the winger at 37.12 km/h to sweep the ball out of play. That burst of pace almost matched his all-time record speed of 37.38 km/h – when he raced back to catch Keane Lewis-Potter during…
