Premier League: Nottingham Forest 1-1 Brentford

By Score More The only Sunday Premier League match took place at The City Ground, where Nottingham Forest aimed to secure their second home win of the season after suffering defeat against Manchester City in their previous outing. Brentford, managed by Thomas Frank, sought to bounce back from a disappointing home defeat by Everton. The game began with a poignant tribute to Maddy Cusack, a Forest academy product who tragically passed away the previous week. Once the match started, Steve Cooper's Forest side attempted to take control early on. They earned an early free kick, which was taken by Callum Hudson-Odoi, but Brentford defended it well. Brentford struggled to establish themselves in the opening minutes and believed they had conceded a goal in the 8th mi...

Referees’ Body Apologizes to Liverpool for Wrongly Disallowed Goal in Spurs Defeat

By Score More The governing body of English football's referees, the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), has issued an apology to Liverpool following a controversial decision in their 2-1 defeat to Tottenham. The apology comes after a goal scored by Liverpool's Luis Diaz was disallowed due to an offside call, and the PGMOL has admitted a "significant human error" was made during the game. The incident occurred in the 34th minute of the match when Luis Diaz scored what appeared to be a legitimate goal. However, the assistant referee raised the offside flag, and a quick VAR check confirmed the decision to disallow the goal. This decision proved to be pivotal as Tottenham took the lead just two minutes later. The controversy arose as still images of the incident seemed t...

Premier League: Wolves 2-1 Manchester City

By Score More Molineux witnessed fire and fury as Manchester City's flawless record went up in smoke. In a tumultuous encounter, Matheus Nunes faced relentless jeering, Erling Haaland struggled to make an impact, and the reigning champions appeared surprisingly lackluster. Nunes inadvertently played into Wolves' hands, with the persistent and fierce jeering against the former Wolves midfielder Gary O'Neil adding to City's discomfort. The Brazilian midfielder was substituted at halftime, with Wolves already leading. It was a turbulent afternoon, marked by nine bookings and a post-match melee. This is precisely how you defeat a Pep Guardiola side, which looked noticeably weaker without Rodri. His absence in the upcoming match against Arsenal should be a significant concern for City. Wi...

Premier League: West Ham 2-0 Sheffield United

By Score More David Moyes notched his 666th victory as a Premier League manager, and the devilish temptation to torment Sheffield United, who were struggling in ineptitude, might have crossed his mind. In contrast to Newcastle's epic eight-goal spree the previous week, West Ham settled for a more modest two goals, both of which were gifts from the visitors. Jarrod Bowen found the net when none of the six defenders in the box bothered to mark him. Tomas Soucek capitalized on Gustavo Hamer's giveaway to add another goal. Paul Heckingbottom might be forgiven for wondering if his team will ever secure a Premier League win. It was yet another challenging outing for their fans, who made the arduous 350-mile round trip amid a train strike. Sheffield United remains winless this season, wit...

Premier League: Manchester United 0-1 Crystal Palace

By Score More Crystal Palace plunged Manchester United back into crisis with a spectacular volley from Joachim Andersen that separated the two teams. This defeat marked United's fifth loss in nine games this season, with four in seven in the Premier League—a start not seen since 1989. United's fans expressed their frustration with boos at the final whistle. While injuries and off-the-field issues have troubled Erik ten Hag's tenure, his team's performance has been disappointing given the substantial investment in new players. United has now suffered two home defeats, a stark contrast to last season's strong home record. United struggled to break down Palace's solid defense, and even impact players like Mason Mount and Marcus Rashford failed to make a significant impact. Rasmus Hojlu...
