At Elland Road, Liverpool’s victory over Leeds was tarnished by a devastating injury to Harvey Elliott Louise Taylor. Sun, September 12, 2021, 18:50 BST 560 Anyone looking for a proper description of the word “formidable” can watch a video of the day Mohamed Salah scored his 100th Premier League goal and Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool declared their title ambitions. Despite Fabinho’s midfield omnipotence, Trent Alexander-Arnold’s uplifting interpretation of the right-back job, and Sadio Mané’s attacking prowess, there was a palpable sense of vulnerability in the mild West Yorkshire air. Harvey Elliott, 18, went from a promising midfielder looking at home alongside…
T ottenham are a confident defender. Toby Alderweireld avoided ligament injury before undergoing a scan on his damaged knee. Spurs thought Alderweireld had suffered a catastrophic injury when he was carried off in the second half of Saturday’s 1-1 draw at West Brom, after colliding with teammate Jan Vertonghen. However, as Alderweireld prepared for the examination, the initial signs were that he had merely taken a heavy blow and would not be out for long. Alderweireld, 27, did not travel to Germany for Tuesday’s Champions League encounter against Bayer Leverkusen and is unlikely to play in the club’s next three…
Newcastle United humiliated Aston Villa 5-1 at St James’ Park on Saturday, but there was one critical moment in the game that will be remembered. On Saturday, the first twenty minutes or so were quite level between Newcastle and Aston Villa. Newcastle took the lead after six minutes, but Villa equalized five minutes later. Newcastle then took the lead again four minutes later. It was a goal-oriented competition from start to finish. Unfortunately for Villa, their captain Tyrone Mings went down and stayed down after being challenged by Alexander Isak. It wasn’t Isak’s fault; even in slowed-down replays, it was…

Nottingham Forest have had a busy summer once again signing 13 new players ahead of the 2023/24 Premier League campaign. Big-money signings of Anthony Elanga and Ibrahim Sangare certainly caught the eye, but it’s one of the cheaper arrivals that has already proven to be a shrewd addition. Ola Aina joined the Reds on a free transfer, with the 27-year-old already making an instant impact at the City Ground despite playing out of position at left-back. Aina has produced multiple impressive displays and it’s exciting to see where he could go as a Forest player, however, they must extend his current deal. Upon his arrival at…
Withstanding a stunning late comeback from his opponent, Luca Brecel defeated Mark Selby 18-15 in the championship match to win the 2023 World Snooker Championship and take home the sport’s top honor for the first time in his career. After Cliff Thorburn (1980), Ken Doherty (1997), and Neil Robertson (2010), Brecel becomes the fourth non-British champion in the modern era and the first player from continental Europe to win the championship. Brecel qualified for the Crucible Theatre as the youngest player ever in 2012 at the age of 17, but until this year’s event, he had lost all five of…
Paul Merson was “flabbergasted” when Newcastle United permitted Chris Wood to join Nottingham Forest on a temporary basis. A provisional commitment to a permanent transfer is part of the change.

Nottingham Forest will reportedly pay £15 million to keep him in the summer, according to Sky Sports. Should they meet the goals set by Newcastle, Wood will sign a deal with Cooper’s team that runs through June…
After Nick Powell’s early strike, Matty Cash drew The Reds equal in the first half, but Will Grigg’s penalty on the half-hour mark restored their lead. Lewis Grabban’s injury-time penalty was saved, but Soudani was on hand to convert the rebound and keep The Reds unblemished this season. Forest got off to a shaky start, with Tobias Figueiredo’s wayward back ball resulting in a corner for Wigan within the opening two minutes. Costel Pantilimon attempted to claim the cross but was unable to do so, allowing Powell to nod into an empty net and give the home side a perfect…

Nobody was betting on him beating Ronnie O’Sullivan even in the quarter-finals. Luca Brecel flourished as the underdog, and before he knew it, he was in the final. Mark…
