Jose Mourinho said that substitute and match-winner Marcus Rashford gave Manchester United a "diversity" in their football during their 1-0 win against Hull City and predicted that the 18-year-old will play "a lot of matches for sure." Rashford scored in the second minute of added time at the end of the game, 20 minutes after coming off the bench, to seal victory. He had looked likely before then, causing problems to Hull with his pace. Speaking in his news conference after Saturday's win, Mourinho said: "When we brought the kid to the game, it gave us a diversity of football. We started playing a different way. Of course we had a bit of luck at the end. "He's very good. I knew that last season. Working with him every day, I think the same. "Tonight … [Read more...]
Marcus Rashford scores as Man United grab late win
Marcus Rashford was Manchester United’s hero, coming off the bench to score a late winner in the 1-0 win at Hull. The United teenager, a second-half replacement for Juan Mata, turned home Wayne Rooney’s slide-rule pass for the only goal of the game in the second minute of time added on to finally break Hull’s brave resistance and send the newly-promoted club to their first defeat of the season. It was a tough pill to swallow for Hull, who would have deserved a point for their sheer endeavour had they managed to hold on, but United’s patience was finally rewarded and it is they who join Chelsea at the top of the table. Such was Hull’s tenacity and discipline, especially on the edge of their penalty area, United found chances hard to come by in the first … [Read more...]
Draw with Tottenham a missed opportunity for Liverpool- Klopp
Jurgen Klopp could not hide his frustration as his Liverpool side left White Hart Lane with just a point after an impressive performance against Tottenham Hotspur. Liverpool had the better of the game against Spurs on Saturday afternoon but failed to take their chances in front of goal in order to clinch three points. The visitors took lead the lead courtesy of James Milner's converted penalty in the 43rd minute. However, Liverpool were unable withstand a heavy spell of pressure from Tottenham in the second half and Danny Rose equalised on 72 minutes. "I still feel a little bit disappointed, [even though] we took a point against Tottenham," Klopp said at his news conference after the game. "When we played like this then I think we could have won the … [Read more...]
Arsenal beat Watford to claim first win of the season
Arsenal recorded their first win of their Premier League season with a resounding 3-1 win against Watford at Vicarage Road. Having lost at home to Liverpool and drawn 0-0 at champions Leicester, Arsene Wenger saw his side dominate the first half at Vicarage Road, as an early Santi Cazorla penalty was added to by Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil. Watford, still looking for a win under Walter Mazzarri, looked better after the break as club-record signing Roberto Pereyra came off the bench to grab a consolation. The Gunners, who are likely to add defender Shkodran Mustafi and forward Lucas Perez to their ranks in the coming days, were ahead in the ninth minute after Nordin Amrabat crashed into the back of Sanchez and, after a delay, referee Kevin Friend … [Read more...]
Chelsea extend winning run with win over Burnley
First half goals from Eden Hazard and Willian eased Chelsea to a 3-0 win over Burnley at Stamford Bridge. Belgian playmaker Hazard grabbed his second goal in three matches as Chelsea pummelled the Clarets at Stamford Bridge. Burnley may have beaten Liverpool with 19 per cent possession of the ball last weekend, but Antonio Conte’s rampant side never looked remotely like falling for the counter-punch. In fact the only surprise was that they only scored three as Hazard and Diego Costa could probably have bagged a hat-trick apiece. As it was, they had to settle for Hazard’s fine ninth-minute opener, Willian’s first of the campaign shortly before half-time and a late strike from Victor Moses to make it three wins out of three. Hazard got the ball … [Read more...]
Danny Rose equaliser seals point for Spurs against Liverpool
Tottenham rescued a point from their Premier League clash with Liverpool when Danny Rose rewarded a second-half fightback by firing the equaliser in a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane. Jurgen Klopp's side controlled most of the match and deserved to take the lead when James Milner converted from the penalty spot, but Spurs eventually burst into life with half an hour remaining. A succession of thwarted chances preceded a beautifully taken goal from Rose, although it was some woeful defending that presented him with the chance to secure a second draw in three Premier League matches this season. A lively encounter in north London was then up for grabs, with Spurs looking the more likely winners after staging a series of late attacks. Liverpool striker Daniel … [Read more...]
Conte: Chelsea ‘will have a problem’ completing transfer business
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte fears he could be left frustrated in his bid to strengthen the Blues squad before the transfer window closes. Conte has brought in big-money signings in the shape of midfielder N'Golo Kante and forward Michy Batshuayi this summer but has yet to add the defensive reinforcements he desperately needs. The Blues have long been linked with Kalidou Koulibaly but have been unable to lure him away from Napoli, while AC Milan say they have knocked back a bid for Alessio Romagnoli. Conte admits his current squad is not deep enough and with Wednesday's transfer deadline looming the Italian knows time is running out. "I must be honest, I think we'll have a problem to reach our targets," he said. "I hope, through this transfer market, … [Read more...]
