Klopp Reacts to Manchester City’s Recent Setback: “Writing Them Off Would Be the Biggest Joke”

By Score More Staff Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has dismissed the idea of writing off Manchester City in the Premier League title race, calling it "the biggest joke in the history of football." Klopp's comments come in the aftermath of Manchester City's third defeat of the season, this time against Aston Villa, leaving them in fourth place in the league table. City's recent struggles have seen them go winless in their last four Premier League games, with their latest setback coming at the hands of Villa. Leon Bailey's second-half goal secured the victory for the home side and marked their 14th consecutive home win in the Premier League. Pep Guardiola, City's manager, acknowledged his team's challenges, stating after the game that they are "struggling a bit." However, Klopp, who has f...

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, with He...

Callum Wilson scored with a header from a Kieran Trippier cross, and Anthony Gordon added his name to the sco...

However, their escape from defeat was almost thwarted in the dying moments of added time when Jordan Pickford pulled off an exceptional double save to salvage a point for Everton. Saturday's draw brought several notable positives, particularly the Premier League debut of Beto, the Portuguese striker. He posed a consistent threat and provided the Everton attack with a genuine focal point, even though he didn't find the net. This display showcased the attacking quality that t...

However, only three of those were on target, indicating a low conversion rate in their plays. The highlight came at the 34th minute when a penalty was awarded to City due to Egan's handball in Grealish's crossing attempt. Haaland took the penalty, but h...

Edouard’s Brilliance Marks Crystal Palace’s Winning Start Against Sheffield United in Premier League Opener

By Score More In this season, for the first time since 2013-14, Crystal Palace finds itself without the presence of Wilfried Zaha, their talismanic forward who departed in the summer. Yet, Odsonne Edouard's performance has managed to offer a victorious commencement to their campaign at the expense of Sheffield United's comeback to the Premier League. Following a relatively quiet first half, Edouard capitalized on Jordan Ayew's delivery just after the break to find the net. The French striker, aged 25, skillfully converted Ayew's low cross from Palace's right wing into a close-range goal. Though debutant William Osula made an attempt for United, Crystal Palace had its chances to amplify the victory margin. Edouard missed an opportunity to score a second, directing a feeble header straigh...
