‘Absolutely stunning’ – Gary Lineker in awe of Raul Jimenez’s goal for Wolves today
Wolves were held to a 1-1 draw against Burnley in the Premier League. The Molineux outfit conceded a late penalty and the draw more or less ends their chances of finishing in the top four this season. Raul Jimenez had given Nuno’s team the lead on the 76th minute but Burnley fought back with their stoppage-time penalty. Chris Wood converted from the spot on the 96th minute for Sean Dyche’s side. Wolves will be disappointed to have dropped two points here especially after the exceptional goal scored by Raul Jimenez. The Mexican’s goal impressed Gary Lineker, who took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the strike. He wrote: Always thought this game would spring to life. Absolutely stunning goal from @Raul_Jimenez9. A @BBCOne kind of goal. 👏🏻👏🏻 — Gary Lineker ...
‘Atrocious’, ‘Terrible’ – Some Newcastle fans tear into 28-yr-old after his display against Spurs
Newcastle crashed to a 3-1 defeat against Tottenham in the Premier League earlier. Goals from Heung-Min Son and Harry Kane secured the three points for Jose Mourinho’s side. Matt Ritchie scored the only goal of the game for Newcastle. Steve Bruce’s side have now lost three league games in a row and they will be thoroughly disappointed with their performance against a struggling Tottenham side. Newcastle could have put the Londoners under pressure here but they were lacking in urgency and focus. The fans were not too happy with the performance from the players today and Fabian Schar, in particular, was quite mediocre for the Magpies. The 28-year-old Swiss defender has been poor in the recent games and his performance has attracted a lot of criticism once again. He was at fault for one of th...

Sinclair praised the 34-year-old midfielder on Twitter while watching him in action for City against Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League on Wednesday evening. The former Valencia star scored in the sixth minute and had a very good game, as Pep Guardiola’s side won 2-1. As reported by The Manchester Evening News in May, Silva will leave City at the end of the season, and Donnelly wants him at Celti...

Report: Tottenham in talks to seal £15m signing, confident of signing 23-yr-old ace
Tottenham are expected to sign the South Korean defender Kim Min-Jae this month. As per reports from Korea, the Londoners are negotiating his transfer with his club Beijing Guoan.

He could be a threat in the opposition box along with his defensive abilities. The playe...
‘They can be dangerous’ – Mourinho singles out five Newcastle players ahead of Spurs’ clash
Newcastle United host Tottenham Hotspur at St. James’ Park later today, and Spurs boss Jose Mourinho will hope to finally get his first Premier League win at the ground. The Portuguese has only won once at SJP, and it came during a Cup game during his first stint as Chelsea boss. Tottenham need three points at Newcastle’s expense to boost their chances of playing in Europe next term, but Mourinho is wary of the Magpies attack. Steve Bruce’s side have been impressive since Premier League action resumed last month, scoring 11 goals in six games. They have improved significantly in the final third, and Mourinho is aware that the quintet of Andy Carroll, Joelinton, Dwight Gayle, Miguel Almiron and Allan Saint-Maximin have the quality to hurt Tottenham. “They play well, they have different ways...

Klopp explains why he is happy that Man. City are no longer banned from UCL
The Court of Arbitration for Sports overturned Manchester City’s two-year ban from the Champions League yesterday, with the Etihad Stadium outfit only told to pay a £9 million fine. While the decision left many fuming, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is happy that Pep Guardiola’s men will be playing in Europe next term. City will look to pip the Reds to the Premier League title next season after they were beaten to it with seven games remaining this term. Not playing in Europe would have massively boosted their chances of winning the domestic treble next term, and the Liverpool boss is glad that wouldn’t be happening. Klopp on City’s CL ban being lifted: “I am happy that City can play Champions League next year, if they had 10 or 12 less games to play next season I wouldn’...
‘Next up, deal is agreed!’: Many NUFC fans react as Saudi telecom look to buy out PL Tv deal
The last 24 hours have been a rollercoaster ride in the Newcastle United takeover saga, and not for the first time, it leaves the situation with endless possibilities. Richard Keys, the Tv Presenter for BeInSports, made a huge claim on Monday that the Premier League will give their nod to the Newcastle takeover within this week. We all know that the issue of piracy is the major stumbling block for the takeover to go through. BeIN SPORTS are the official partner of the Premier League and they are losing wealth following an unprecedented scale of piracy via satellite TV beoutQ. Craig Hope of The Daily Mail tweeted yesterday that the Premier League are expected to deliver the verdict in favour of the potential Newcastle owners shortly. But then the takeover saga has taken a complete twist aft...

The Newcastle United takeover saga has taken an unexpected twist in the last 24 hours after the Saudi Arabian government took the decision to permanently ban the Premier League’s Qatar-based Middle East broadcast partner BeinSports from operating in the kingdom. As we all know, the issue of piracy is the major factor being the takeover process being delayed, and still it is everyone’s guess what the outcome will be. The potential owners – A Saudi-led consortium (PIF), Amanda Staveley and Reuben Brothers – are looking to buy Newcastle from Mike Ashley for £300m, and a part-payment has already been made in advance. However, the Premier League has taken 16 weeks to study the deal, and yet they couldn’t come to a conclusion. Just when it was thought that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund w...
‘Doesn’t get the credit he deserves’ – Gary Lineker in awe of Chelsea star
Chelsea bounced back from Saturday’s disappointing 3-0 loss at the hands of Sheffield United to secure a vital 1-0 win over Norwich City last night. The relegated visitors had nothing to play for, but they proved hard to break down despite the Blues’ dominance, with goalkeeper Tim Krul thwarting most of the hosts’ efforts. Chelsea secured the opener through a brilliant Olivier Giroud header in the closing minutes of the first-half, and that was enough to seal valuable three points. The victory further boosted their chances of playing in the Champions League next term, with four points now between them and the chasing duo of Leicester City and Manchester United, who both play on Thursday. Chelsea play Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers next in the league and they will hope to secure all ...
