"We knew we controlled the game. We had to be aware, with some transitions, we gave them a chance. We deserved the three points and did more to win the game. "We changed with the substitution of Kevin to be much more offensive. Most of these players played three games in seven days. It's an incredible effort from these guys and they deserve all the credit."
Ethan Nwaneri had a breakout season last term when the Arsenal forward deputised so impressively for the injured Bukayo Saka. He played mostly on the right wing and scored nine goals in 37 appearances in all competitions to mark himself out as one of England's most talented young players. Nwaneri, now 18, also became the second-youngest goalscorer in Champions League history when he netted against Girona last January at 17 years and 314 days old - only Jude Bellingham did so at a younger age.
He was handed a sentence of nine months in prison suspended for two years at a hearing at Nottingham Crown Court, as a judge told him he had suffered a spectacular fall from grace. Forensic analysis of Coote's computer showed a two-minute and 11-second-long video had been viewed that showed a 15-year-old boy in a school uniform undressing until he was completely naked, before performing sexual acts on himself, prosecutors said on Thursday.
Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella will only serve a one-match suspension following his red card in Wednesday's Premier League defeat to local rivals Fulham. The Spaniard, 27, received a straight red card for pulling back Fulham's Harry Wilson when he was running through on goal. An offence which leads to the denial of an obvious goal-scoring opportunity (DOGSO) is punished by a one-match ban.
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in the Marseille manager Roberto De Zerbi. The 46-year-old has done an impressive job at the French club, and he is on the radar of Manchester United as well. According to a report from TEAMtalk, Tottenham could look to bring him in as a replacement for Thomas Frank if the results do not improve quickly. They have been quite disappointing in recent months, and they will be desperate to turn things around.
Keegan was in charge of Newcastle between 1992 and 1997. They were dubbed The Entertainers' due to their cavalier approach to defending, and his belief that the team had a duty to put on a show for the paying public. Arguably his most famous moment came in 1996 when, as Liverpool scored in the last minute to beat his side 4-3 to all but end their fading Premier League title hopes, he slumped over some advertising hoardings.
Antoine Semenyo's farewell goal for Bournemouth, before his move to Manchester City, sets off a chain reaction over who succeeds him. Ethan Nwaneri, who has struggled for game time at Arsenal, is wanted by a few suitors. Bournemouth are very interested in a loan move for someone who was the next big thing not too long ago. And still can be, though the word is he still wishes to stay a Gunner and play his part in a title-winning team.
Southampton also announced the loan via their website. "I'm really happy to make this move to Southampton, it's a great club in a good league and I'm really looking forward to getting started. I want to help the team to get back in the Premier League. Although it's a tough goal, I think it's realistic. There are a lot of games to go," said Peretz.
"I think it's not deliberate tugging of the hair, certainly not violent, certainly not aggressive," he said. "This was done in an action in the game, on a ball coming up, and unless you have played the game, you might not understand. "I have been a centre-half and there is no way I am jumping to outjump a big centre-forward and think: 'By the way, I am going to outjump him and, at the same time, I am going to pull his hair'.
Apologies to all fans of you who follow us everywhere, who are always there and will continue to be. We are responsible, there's no doubt about that. I am the first. But we will keep facing up to it and trying to turn the situation around, for ourselves and for the club. Especially at times like this, keeping quiet, working harder and moving forward all together, is part of football. All together, it will be easier.
"It was weird, very up and down," he told Sky Sports. "I don't think we were by any means at our best, but then the way the game finishes, the feeling now, you don't really care about the performance - it's more the result. "I don't really remember it [his winning goal]. Swivel, hit and then hope. Celebrate. It's all a bit of a blur. It's just instinct, get whatever contact you can, and there are that many bodies, anything can happen."
Henry terrorised defences in the 00's, and ours was absolutely on that list. Arsenal's golden boy lined up perfectly with their golden era, and it was a sensational and devastating sight. He found the net against Liverpool a total of 8 times during his time at Arsenal, which puts him in the elite company of players who adored putting one on us.
Former Premier League referee David Coote is due to be sentenced after a child abuse video was found on his device. The ex-official was charged with making an indecent image of a child after the category A video, the most serious kind, was recovered by police in February last year following a Football Association (FA) investigation into him. The 43-year-old former referee, of Woodhill Road in Collingham, near Newark, Nottinghamshire, pleaded guilty to the offence at a hearing in October.
Match of the Day presenter Gabby Logan was forced to leave mid-broadcast on Wednesday evening, following the passing of her father, Terry Yorath. She was replaced on air by fellow host Mark Chapman, who happened to be in the building delivering his 5Live radio show. It was confirmed on Thursday morning that Yorath, Leeds United and Wales legend and father to Logan, has died aged 75 following a short illness.
I'm not pumping my own tyres up here. It's going to be real hard work in terms of what we're going to try and achieve. It's all about players, completely about the players in terms of what they do on the pitch. We can affect that by information. But when it boils down to it, for this group I just feel it's getting that first win. If we get our first win, I think we'll catch fire.
Liverpool are interested in signing Mason Greenwood from Marseille in 2026, according to . The report in the Spanish news outlet has claimed that Liverpool are planning to make a bid of €100 million for the former Manchester United forward. According to the report, Liverpool believe that 'Greenwood can offer imbalance, goals, and youth, three key factors for rebuilding the attack after Salah's departure', adding: 'Furthermore, his past experience in the Premier League plays in favour of the sporting project.'
Manchester City will not offer Exeter extra money from Saturday's third-round FA Cup tie. The financially troubled League One club this week revealed they had asked the Premier League club for a greater proportion of the gate receipts as a statement of solidarity. Exeter, whose supporters' trust is the club's majority shareholder, will take 8,000 fans to a sold-out Etihad Stadium to face the seven-time FA Cup winners.
