Two late goals in the 93rd and 97th minutes from the Scotland international saw Man Utd to a 2-1 victory against Brentford on Saturday – their fourth Premier League success of the season. But despite the win, Sky Sports pundit Neville says United will finish no higher than sixth, and believes Chelsea are closer to securing a top-five spot. “I don’t think Manchester United will finish in the top five this season… but they proved me wrong last season after having a very poor start,” he said on the latest Gary Neville Podcast. “Chelsea have got a lot of talented young players. The…
Scott McTominay scored a dramatic injury-time brace to secure victory for Manchester United in their Premier League clash against Brentford last weekend. The Scotland international was introduced to the pitch in the last minutes of the game as Erik ten Hag’s side trailed and were about to record three defeats in a row going into the international break. United were 1-0 down and did not look like scoring until McTominay’s brilliant touch and volley in the 93rd minute gave them a lifeline. It was only four minutes later, in the last moments of the game, that the midfielder managed to head home…
Scott McTominay’s injury-time brace on Saturday masked yet another disappointing performance for Manchester United at Old Trafford. The Red Devils had trailed 1-0 going into the third minute of added-on time, but somehow managed to take all three points against Brentford after two stellar moments from McTominay. United can certainly count themselves lucky to win on an afternoon where they were ponderous and disjointed in attack, while the abysmal defending for Mathias Jensen’s opener was symbolic of the error-strewn approach that has derailed the Red Devils’ start to the campaign. Despite the result, there was little for United fans to feel optimistic…
Scott McTominay’s ‘fantastic finish’ during Manchester United’s 2-1 comeback win over Brentford has received the seal of approval from one of the Premier League’s greatest-ever centre-forwards. Ian Wright, speaking on BBC’s Match of the Day, knows a thing or two about sticking the ball in the back of the net. And, in the midst of a penalty area more crowded than London traffic on Christmas eve, Wright feels that Scott McTominay deserves immense credit for pulling off a finish dripping with class and composure when Manchester United needed him the most. McTominay brilliantly controlled a high ball and slotted into the corner following from…
Eden Hazard’s younger brother Kylian has provided the latest update on the former Real Madrid and Chelsea star amid reports he is keen to hang up his boots. Kylian, who plays for Belgian Pro League side RWDM, has revealed that Hazard has taken a step back from the football pitch but continues to reside in Madrid, the Spanish capital. According to him, Hazard is not moving to any club now as he has decided to relax. “At the moment he’s not moving, but I don’t know if his career is over. If he makes a final decision, it will be…
Chelsea legend Eden Hazard has been urged to retire from football by his younger brother Kylian. Eden Hazard is currently without a club after his contract at Real Madrid was terminated and Kylian has told AS that he would hang up his boots if he were in the winger’s position. Eden Hazard’s career at Real Madrid did not go to plan, hence their decision to let him go in the summer, but the Belgian was an absolute animal at Chelsea before leaving the club in 2019. During his time in west London, he scored 110 goals and won two Premier…
According to a report from Fichajes, AC Milan have joined the race to sign Valentin Barco. The 19-year-old Boca Juniors defender is wanted by Chelsea and Real Madrid as well. The Argentine defender is highly rated around the world, and he could prove to be a solid, long-term acquisition for all three clubs. Chelsea, who recently joined the race to sign him, could certainly use more quality and depth in the left-back department. And Barco would be a superb long-term addition for them. The Blues paid big money for Marc Cucurella last year. But the former Brighton defender has failed to…
Argentina are the current world champions for a reason and they have produced some of the very best players in the game throughout their history. One of their brightest young talents seems to have caught the eye of the biggest teams in Europe recently. The likes of Real Madrid, Chelsea, AC Milan and more are among them. Left-back is an area of the pitch where Real Madrid need to improve. Ferland Mendy’s long-term future at the club is uncertain and he has been linked with a move away on numerous occasions. On the other hand, Fran Garcia is yet to…
Marc Cucurella feels confident that Chelsea are now on the right track, under Mauricio Pochettino’s leadership, after securing a 4-1 win against Burnley. Teenager Wilson Odobert gave Burnley a surprise lead 15 minutes in at Turf Moor but Raheem Sterling inspired a turnaround, having a hand in all four goals and getting one himself as Chelsea scored four or more goals for the first time since April 2022. Coupled with the Carabao Cup win over Brighton at the end of last month, it gives Chelsea some much-needed momentum – and they would no doubt rather not have the distraction of…
Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer has now claimed he doesn’t think he was performing well enough in the first half at the weekend against Burnley. He told the official club website that he improved in the second half, which coincided with a turnaround victory at Turf Moor. The Blues made it back-to-back wins in the league for the first time in a while as they eventually came through with a 4-1 win. Palmer scored his first goal for the club from the spot, suggesting to Chelsea fans that they may have a recognised penalty taker in their squad again at last. The…
