The Giallorossi got off to the perfect start after just seven minutes when Artem Dovbyk met Zeki Celik’s pinged cross to brilliantly head home into the far corner. However, that would be Roma’s only shot on target in the first half as Verona posed a real threat, particularly through Gift Orban. His first chance needed to be tipped wide by Mile Svilar, before striking a free-kick inches wide, with Orban the width of the crossbar away from equalising before half-time as Roma held firm. Verona continued their momentum into the second half as Suat Serdar and Giovane – the latter…

United scored two first-half goals to put the game beyond Liverpool by the halfway mark, as Taylor’s side again struggled for fluency and goal threat – of the eight efforts they registered, only one hit the target. Liverpool have problems at the opposite end, too, conceding at least two goals in each of their last five WSL home games (12 in total). They are one of two sides, along with West Ham, who remain pointless. Hinata Miyazawa scored a thumping opener in the fourth minute, lashing a volley beyond debutant goalkeeper Rafaela Borggrafe before Ella Toone fired home from Elisabeth…

Refs’ body PGMO have embarked upon what appears to be a charm offensive and are hosting roadshows with officials and fans of clubs across the Premier League. Last week, they visited Burnley and provided a simulation of how VAR operates on matchdays, along with replays of real-life examples. Fans were also invited to ask questions in a session aimed at increasing transparency and to increase confidence in the continuously under-fire system. Rio and Rooney A penny for the thoughts of BBC bosses after Wayne Rooney’s hard-hitting interview with Rio Ferdinand dropped last week. The former Manchester United striker penned a…
United’s 3-1 defeat at Brentford on Saturday was their third in six Premier League games amid a poor start to the season that includes a Carabao Cup humiliation at Grimsby Town. Amorim, who was appointed midway through United’s worst season in more than half a century, has now picked up just 34 points from his 33 league games in charge. However, it’s understood that United are still behind their 40-year-old head coach, and Ratcliffe is refusing to panic. It’s understood that the Ineos billionaire believes Amorim deserves time to work his players after United spent £236million on new signings in…

The Reds thought they had nicked a pointed with Federico Chiesa’s 87th-minute strike off the bench cancelling out Ismaila Sarr’s early opener for Crystal Palace. But with the last kick of the game, Eddie Nketiah snatched a 97th-minute winner for the Eagles to down the reigning champions after starting the campaign with five straight wins. Nketiah was left unmarked at the back post to volley in after Liverpool failed to clear a long throw in the dying moments. And manager Slot – who appeared to be referencing full-back Jeremie Frimpong – raged: “We can only blame ourselves. Defending the way…
Zinedine Zidane has been linked with the Manchester United job as Ruben Amorim continues to face pressure, but the Frenchman has two demands before taking the role Ex-France star Emmanuel Petit has previously suggested that Zinedine Zidane would require certain conditions to be fulfilled before he’d consider taking the reins at Manchester United. The Champions League-winning gaffer’s name has been thrown into the hat as a potential replacement for Ruben Amorim, as the pressure continues to mount. United were unable to secure consecutive victories, failing to capitalise on their recent win over Chelsea, with Brentford emerging as 3-1 victors on…
John Stones and Manchester City are set to open talks to see the England star extend his spell at the Etihad Stadium. As things stand, Stones, a cornerstone of Pep Guardiola’s trophy-laden stint in Manchester, is out of contract at the end of the season. But both he and Guardiola want to extend his stay at the club – at a time where Erling Haaland is being told he can become the Premier League’s all-time record scorer if he sticks around at the Etihad. Stones, 31, will begin negotiations with City bosses and is hopeful of agreeing a deal that…
