The way in which Tottenham play under Ange Postecoglou would be right at home in Barcelona this season. A free-flowing, consistent attacking model has ensured that the Australian has been taken straight to the hearts of the White Hart Lane faithful. Barcelona have struggled to replicate that type of football under Xavi and, as a result, the coach has already effectively tended his resignation. He will leave the club where he was a legendary midfielder in the summer, and one player that could follow him out of the exit door is exciting Brazilian winger, Raphinha. Fichajes sources note that the…
Ange Postecoglou was handed a welcome boost on Saturday afternoon with Pape Matar Sarr making his first Tottenham appearance of 2024. Not featuring since the 3-1 win over Bournemouth on New Year’s Eve due to his participation at the Africa Cup of Nations for Senegal, the midfielder made an early return to north London following his country’s surprise Round of 16 elimination. Sarr was named as a substitute against Everton on his return to the matchday squad and he was introduced for the final 26 minutes of the contest as he replaced Rodrigo Bentancur in midfield. The 21-year-old was unable…
The Rock may be cooking in the WWE once again … but some fans aren’t super happy about it — ’cause it seems his return has knocked a major storyline off track. Here’s the deal … last night, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson got into an intense staredown with current Undisputed WWE Universal champ Roman Reigns at the end of ESPN’s WWE SmackDown — an insane moment seemingly setting up a match between the two wrestlers. Indeed, rumors have been floating around today that they will fight in the next couple of months — maybe at WrestleMania in early April –…
Mali coach Eric Chelle has confirmed that Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma was suffering from Malaria throughout the team’s journey at AFCON. WHAT HAPPENED? Bissouma, along with defender Moussa Diarra, apparently played at the AFCON with Malaria, as Chelle confirmed after the team’s heartbreaking exit from AFCON on Saturday. The Eagles went down 2-1 against hosts Ivory Coast, who scored an equaliser in the 90th minute and then netted the winner in the 121st minute of extra-time to book a berth in the semi-finals. WHAT HAS BEEN SAID Speaking to reporters, Chelle said: “You know Yves and Moussa were suffering from…
Richarlison had twice put Spurs in front against his former club in the first half as Jack Harrison’s goal appeared to have been in vain. But Sean Dyche’s side conjured up an unlikely point thanks to Branthwaite’s rescue act in the 94th minute. Everton are now without a win in six Premier League games dating back to before Christmas but this was a precious point. However, the Toffees stay 18th in the bottom three after Luton’s 4-4 draw at Newcastle. Tottenham remain fourth but missed the chance to move further clear of fifth-placed Aston Villa. How Everton made their point…
Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard were all on target as Arsenal recorded a superb 3-1 win over Premier League leaders Liverpool. The Gunners headed into the match five points adrift in the title race against a Liverpool side that have won four out of four in the league since the 1-1 draw between the sides at Anfield. It meant a win was required to truly haul Mikel Arteta’s side back into contention and they started in electrifying fashion, with Saka’s 14th-minute opener after Alisson saved from Kai Havertz the reward. Liverpool did not manage a shot on target…
Jarrad Branthwaite’s 94th minute equaliser salvaged a 2-2 draw for Everton against Tottenham that dragged the Toffees out of the relegation zone on Saturday. Richarlison’s double on his return to Goodison Park looked set to take Spurs level on points with third-placed Arsenal. But Ange Postecoglou’s men were denied at the death as Branthwaite met a free-kick at the far post to boost Everton’s chances of survival. Tottenham remain in fourth but could be leapfrogged by Aston Villa, when they travel to struggling Sheffield United later on Saturday. “It’s obviously never going to be an easy game here. You have…
Arsenal threw their hard-earned lead away just before half-time against Liverpool today in a moment of complete defensive madness. The Gunners had dominated Liverpool in the opening 45 minutes before a moment of stupidity from their defenders and goalkeeper ensured things were level at half-time. For Arsenal and manager Mikel Arteta, it was the ultimate frustration. The moment came as all of David Raya, William Saliba and Gabriel got in a mess. And watching on for Premier League productions, former PL midfielder Andy Townsend felt that French defender Saliba should have done far better with dealing with the issue. “Saliba is…
