Football: Tottenham Hotspur 0 - 1 Manchester City

Image
City moved back to the top four Erling Haaland’s early strike proved to be the difference as Manchester City edged past Spurs. Author - Macca The Norwegian turned in Jeremy Doku’s cross from close range after just 12 minutes, and while he thought he’d doubled his tally in stoppage time, his second-half effort was ruled out for handball by referee Jarred Gillett. That decision could have sparked controversy, with replays inconclusive on whether the ball actually struck Haaland’s arm during a challenge from Kevin Danso. With no clear evidence, VAR was unable to overturn the call. Last time out | City 0 - 2 Liverpool Find more Premier League news from European Super Football City should have been out of sight by half-time, with the lively Doku setting up Haaland for another decent chance before teeing up Savinho, who somehow blazed over from close range.

Author - Sophie T Leigh fans watch on A closer look at what happened Leigh faced a tough battle to maintain their perfect record, but they rose to the challenge. They got off the mark in this match with their first try of the season just eight minutes in. Brad Dwyer linked up with Lachlan Lam, who sent a looping pass over a static defence for Brand to collect and dive over.

Football: Manchester City 0 - 2 Liverpool

Image
An interesting Sunday afternoon at the Etihad Stadium Liverpool moved a step closer to the title whilst Manchester City's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League were dented. Author - Macca Manchester City started the match brightly, but they were caught off guard by a clever corner routine from Liverpool after just 14 minutes.

Just eight minutes before halftime, Salah returned the favor by providing a perfectly weighted pass for Szoboszlai, who calmly finished low past City goalkeeper Ederson.

A point closer to confirmation of League One survival for Latics Wigan Athletic secured a hard-earned point on the road with a battling goalless draw against high-flying Wycombe Wanderers at Adams Park. Author - Samson The Latics put in a disciplined defensive display, limiting the hosts to just two shots on target, with goalkeeper Sam Tickle and his backline standing firm. While clear-cut chances were few and far between for Wigan, they’ll be pleased to have taken a point against the league’s second-placed side. Shaun Maloney stuck with the same starting XI that earned a midweek draw at Crawley Town, while Luke Robinson returned to the matchday squad. Wycombe came out strong, and within two minutes, a free-kick from the left led to Caleb Taylor directing a header towards goal, only for Tickle to produce a superb close-range save. Moments later, Josh Scowen went close with a powerful volley from the left, clipping the top of the crossbar as Wigan had to weather early pressure from ...

Author - Amy W Just a week after their shock 1-0 golden-p oint defeat to Leigh Leopards , Matty Peet’s men delivered a performance reminiscent of their previous all-conquering campaign, brushing aside Hull FC at the MKM Stadium. Jai Field stole the show in the first half, crossing for two tries, while Abbas Miski and Patrick Mago also got in on the act as Wigan raced into a commanding 22-0 lead at the break. Hull briefly threatened a response after the restart when Lewis Martin went over in the corner, but Wigan quickly snuffed out any hope of a comeback. Jordan Rapana’s short goal-line dropout backfired, allowing Tom Forber to capitalise for a fifth Warriors try. Moments later, another electric break...

Salford fans can now start looking forward to the rest of the Super League season The Red Devils have been given the green light to field a full-strength side against Leeds Rhinos on Saturday after the sustainability cap imposed by the Rugby Football League was lifted. Author - Michael Haldsworth Confirmation that a takeover of the club being formally approved by RFL Commercial will come as a huge relief to everyone associated with the club. In addition to their long-term future now being guaranteed, it means there will be no repeat of head coach Paul Rowley's farcical team selection against St Helens that saw them thrashed 82-0 in their first Super League fixture.  This 15 try victory was the heaviest winning margin in the league's history.
