Maddison earns Tottenham 1-0 victory over Man Utd

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder James Maddison's early goal proved enough for the hosts to edge a 1-0 victory over fellow Premier League strugglers Manchester United on Sunday. Maddison, back in the starting lineup after injury, tapped home a rebound from close range in the 13th minute to settle a contest in which both sides showed their frailties. Victory eased the pressure on Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou with his side moving above United into 12th place with 30 points. United dropped to 15th ...

Liverpool edge past Wolves to go seven points clear at top

Premier League leaders Liverpool extended their advantage to seven points with a trickier-than-expected 2-1 win over lowly Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield on Sunday courtesy of goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah. Arne Slot's team had looked to be cruising at 2-0 after Diaz bundled in on 15 minutes and won a penalty later in the half for strike partner Salah to convert with ease - a 23rd league goal for the league's leading marksman. But Wolves, fighting for their lives near the bottom, ...

Late Martinez strike earns Man Utd much-needed victory at Fulham

A deflected late strike from Lisandro Martinez earned Manchester United a much-needed 1-0 victory at Fulham in the Premier League on Sunday. Looking for just their fourth league win since coach Ruben Amorim succeeded Erik ten Hag in November, United created very few openings in a poor first half at Craven Cottage. The visitors did improve after the break and got the bit of good fortune they needed to grab victory, with Argentine defender Martinez's long-range winner taking a huge deflection be...

Late Raphinha strike earns Barca 5-4 win at Benfica and last-16 spot

Barcelona's Raphinha scored deep into stoppage time to hand his side a dramatic 5-4 comeback win at Benfica and a place in the Champions League last 16 on Tuesday after a hat-trick from Vangelis Pavlidis gave the hosts a two-goal halftime lead. The Catalans had mirrored their poor recent LaLiga form in a shaky start at the Estadio da Luz, while coach Hansi Flick's decision to field goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny raised questions as the Pole's blunders led to two Benfica goals. But Flick's m...

Diallo hat-trick drags Man United to comeback win over Southampton

Three late goals from Amad Diallo dragged a below-par Manchester United to an unlikely 3-1 comeback victory over bottom side Southampton in the Premier League on Thursday. United will have fancied their chances of getting back to winning ways against struggling Saints but the hosts were second best from the off, deservedly falling behind to a Manuel Ugarte own goal just before halftime. Staring down the barrel of another home defeat, United upped the ante after the break, getting back on level...

James rescues a point for Chelsea in 2-2 draw with Bournemouth

Chelsea captain Reece James rescued a point for Chelsea with a 95th minute free kick to snatch a 2-2 draw at home to Bournemouth in the Premier League on Tuesday. Second-half substitute James, who returned from a long spell out injured at the weekend, beat goalkeeper Mark Travers with a perfectly placed curling shot into the far corner of the net. But it was two points dropped for the hosts who dominated much of the game, scoring through Cole Palmer in the first half before allowing Bournemouth...
