Luton Town scored twice late on, including an injury-time effort from Elijah Adebayo, to come back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at Nottingham Forest. The home side had appeared to be cruising to all three points at the City Ground thanks to a second-half double from striker Chris Wood. But Steve Cooper’s side took their eye off the ball in the closing stages, allowing Chiedozie Ogbene to give the visitors hope of an unlikely point with seven minutes to go, before substitute Adebayo’s last-gasp intervention, with Hatters boss Rob Edwards saying of his striker: “He’s got these little moments…
Even though Queens Park Rangers lost for the fourth time in a row yesterday, manager Gareth Ainsworth is confident that his team will still have a successful season. The Hoops have had a terrible start to the season, collecting just eight points from their first 12 games, and now find themselves in the bottom three of the Championship. Furthermore, since defeating Middlesbrough on September 2nd, they have failed to win three points. Yesterday’s match was very similar. Kian Harratt and Jack Rudoni scored two goals for Huddersfield Town early on, but Jake Clarke-Salter gave Ainsworth’s team a goal just before…
In the competition to sign Brentford striker Ivan Toney, Chelsea has put in more groundwork than Arsenal. Journalist Simon Phillips says as much. Si Phillips recently asserted on his Substack Si Phillips Talks Chelsea podcast that Arsenal has not done as much as Chelsea has in terms of setting the foundation for the signing of Ivan Toney “as of now.” The Evening Standard revealed last month that both Chelsea and Arsenal are considering January moves for the 27-year-old. The same source claims that he might set his next club back £80 million. Chelsea is frantically attempting to sign Brentford’s Ivan…
Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper defended his substitutions after their 2-2 draw with Luton. Cooper made several changes with “It’s a real pity, because of the way we played up until their first goal went in and the way the game has ended,” he later said. “It had been a comfortable game for us, in terms of the scoreline and the actual general play. “We had to make some changes. A couple of players told us they were flagging a little bit, so we had to make that change. We had to make some changes. A couple of players told…
West Ham were heavily linked with the attacker before he switched Brentford for Villa in 2020 and now it’s been confirmed it wasn’t only speculation. The interest was genuine and no wonder, as Watkins now has 51 goals and 18 assists in 130 games for Villa. Moyes believes Emery’s team are set to be one of the biggest rivals for the European spots this season and not just for West Ham but also some of the English top tier’s elite. “Aston Villa are probably just behind the top three or four big names in the Premier League. It was a…

Though the Boston Celtics have been on an absolute tear thus far in 2019-20, injuries have found a way to rain on their parade. The Boston Celtics had a six day break in their schedule, and they were able to get some much needed rest. Unfortunately, the team suffered many injuries along the way that have hurt their depth for the near future. To start, Marcus Smart’s nagging eye infection is still keeping him out of action, as the infection in his left eye has spread to his right eye as well. He has now missed the last four games…
Jaylen Brown’s right ankle sprain will keep him out of the starting lineup for the Boston Celtics’ game against the Miami Heat on Sunday.

Throughout the season, he has averaged 24.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.2 steals per game. The Celtics are playing the Heat for the sixth seed in the upcoming NBA playoffs, so this hole in their lineup comes at a critical moment. With five games remaining in each team’s regular season schedule, the Heat lead the Celtics by…
Today, Simon Phillips provides an exclusive update on our striker situation on his Substack, primarily focusing on our two top targets up front: the fantastic Victor Osimhen and the realistic Ivan Toney. However, it comes with a strong warning that Toney might still choose to go to Arsenal, so we’ll have to scroll down the list. Phillips provides updates on several other options that are being considered. We’ve been watching Youssouda Moukoko “for a long time,” but she doesn’t quite fit the profile we’re after. It’s obvious that we’re giving greater priority to number 9. That means Benjamin Sesko is…
