Wigan suffered a heartbreaking late defeat away at Wrexham Despite a spirited team performance, the Latics left the SToK Cae Ras empty-handed after a narrow 2-1 defeat to an in-form Wrexham side. Author - Amy W The away sidedominated the first half, creating numerous chances but failing to capitalise. Wrexham eventually took the lead on the hour mark when Ryan Barnett’s deflected shot found the back of the net.  Wigan levelled 11 minutes from time through substitutes Silko Thomas and Joe Hugill, with Thomas providing a pinpoint cross for Hugill to head home.

Salford moved up to 9th place in League Two First-half goals from Luke Garbutt and Tyrese Fornah secured Salford’s third consecutive League Two victory as they overcame Barrow. Author - Sophie T  With the game winding down, Kylian Kouassi sealed the result with a late strike 10 minutes from time. The match had started evenly, with little to separate the teams until Garbutt broke the deadlock in the 21st minute. His teasing free-kick curled into the box, seemingly begging for a touch, but it eluded everyone and nestled into the top corner. Salford doubled their advantage just after the half-hour mark. Matty Lund delivered a precise pass to the edge of the area, where Fornah’s somewhat scrappy strike took a deflection and found the bottom corner.

Klaidi Lolos gave Bolton the lead in the 26th minute, scoring his third goal of the season, and for much of the match, it looked like Barnsley’s barren run against their hosts would continue. However, the visitors showed resilience despite a poor recent record of just one win in their previous eight matches across all competitions. They came close to levelling when former Bolton player Luca Connell hit the post early in the second half, while Jon Russell squandered two chances – firing over with only Nathan...

It's been an awful Christmas so far for United and City Let's explore what has been going wrong Author -  Liam Chadwick Man City: Champions to nowhere There's an obvious argument now that City's players are too old and maybe the manager should have made more changes to the squad in the summer. However, it would’ve been a tremendous bit of bravery for Pep to sell a club legend in order to get playing time for some of the ex-City players now thriving elsewhere. Even the 'younger' ones are struggling. Erling Haaland scored 10 goals in the first five matches of the Premier League season, putting him on pace to break his own single-season goals record. However, he has only scored three times in the subsequent 13 games and has provided just one assist. Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah has taken the lead in goals scored this season. Under Pep Guardiola, City has consistently scored the most goals and generated the highest expected goals in the league. What transformed them i...

United appeared to have squandered their best opportunity to equalise when Fernandes, put through by Rasmus Højlund, chipped Ederson but missed the target with 17 minutes remaining. However, the match erupted in the final moments, leaving City’s fa...
