Liverpool drew with United in wild gameQuansah gave ball away cheaply before Bruno Fernandes goalVan Dijk sorely disappointed WHAT HAPPENED?

Liverpool were forced to settle for a point against United despite a dominant display that saw them have 28 shots compared to the hosts' nine. Luis Diaz gave the Reds the lead early on before Bruno Fernandes capitalised on a Quansah giveaway in spectacular fashion to score from the centre circle. A superb Kobbie Mainoo strike then gave United a shock lead, before a late Mohamed Salah penalty rescued a point for the Reds. Van Dijk, though, was far from satisfied.

Liverpool are fighting tooth and nail for the Premier League title and the draw leaves them level on points with leaders Arsenal and second on goal difference. They are also one point ahead of third-placed Manchester City, and Van Dijk believes the Reds have dropped points.

WHAT VAN DIJK SAID

Van Dijk told BBC MOTD: "It feels like a loss, it is our fault again. We had so many chances and we should finish the game off. Unfortunately the individual mistake that happened with the equaliser and we had so much time to put it right, but we were in a rush. Still after being 2-1 down we created so much."

He added: "We should have been 2-0 up at least, but in football unfortunately if these things don't happen you give them the feeling they could come back and it happened."

Asked about whether Quansah will be affected by his error, he replied: "He shouldn't. Mistakes happen in football everyone who has a career in football makes mistakes you can only learn from it."

• Turner on bench against Fulham
• USMNT keeper booked for kicking ball away
• Forest pick up vital win

• WHAT HAPPENED?

  Turner was once again named on the bench by manager Nuno Espirito Santo as January signing Matz Sels took his place in the Forest goal. That didn't stop the USMNT star getting stuck into the action, though, as he intervened to stop Fulham restarting play quickly in the second half. Despite never actually coming onto the field of play, Turner was booked by the referee.

  THE EXPLANATION

  Despite not technically coming off the bench, Turner left his seat at the City Ground to kick a second ball back into play, thus stopping Fulham from restarting the game quickly. That deliberate act of gamesmanship is deemed a bookable offence and so the referee showed the yellow. Per reporter Dom Smith, the USMNT keeper responded to that decision with a shout of "f*ck off" in the official's direction.

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Fulham were chasing the game at the point after a scintillating first-half display from Forest. Goals from Callum Hudson-Odoi, Chris Wood and Morgan Gibbs-White put Espirito Santo's side into a dominant 3-0 lead, with a Tosin Adarabioyo effort shortly after the break not enough for the visitors. Turner's USMNT team-mate Gio Reyna even made a brief cameo for the home side as Forest saw out a vital win for their Premier League survival.

  WHAT NEXT FOR FOREST?

  That 3-1 win sees Forest climb three points away from the relegation zone and into 17th, just a point off Everton in 16th who got a respectable 1-1 draw away at Newcastle at the same time. Despite having an inferior goal difference Luton could move level on points with Forest if they win on Wednesday, although they face a tough test against title challengers Arsenal away from home.

Manchester City are believed to be keen on a mouthwatering transfer involving one of the brightest talents in all of world football, according to reports.

Man City news: Brighton victory, De Bruyne update, Phillips transfer news

On Saturday, City recorded a deserved 2-1 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion at the Etihad Stadium as goals from Julian Alvarez and Erling Haaland cancelled out a reply from the visitors courtesy of Ansu Fati. Speaking in the aftermath of their triumph, Citizens boss Pep Guardiola afforded special praise to Belgian winger Jeremy Doku for his role in securing all three points, stating:

"After the West Ham game he didn’t play one or two (games) because of doubts he has to play game, game, game and he is not used to it. He is an exceptional winger.

"Jeremy is so smart in defensive areas and after, he has the quality. He got to the byline and got us the first goal and there were many actions. It’s the start of many years for him in this house."

In other news, a Kevin De Bruyne update from Football Insider claims that the midfielder could be made to wait for a new deal at the Etihad Stadium as concerns continue to mount regarding his injury record. The Belgium international is expected to be out until the New Year with a hamstring issue and there is reportedly "no urgency" from the Premier League champions to sit down for talks over a contract renewal, despite the fact that his current deal expires in the summer of 2025.

Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano has issued a Kalvin Phillips update on the future of the midfielder, saying: "Understand both City and player side consider Kalvin Phillips’ January exit ‘very likely’ at this point. Kalvin will still fight to play as much as possible in the next two months but his plan is to be regular starter elsewhere in 2024."

Man City transfer update – Jamal Musiala

According to a Man City transfer update from Football Insider, it is believed that the Citizens are now exploring a deal for Bayern Munich midfielder Jamal Musiala, who also has interest in his services from Liverpool amid frustrations with his playing time under Thomas Tuchel.

One recruitment figure close to the situation has described the Germany international as a "potential world beater" to the outlet as his stock continues to rise at the Allianz Arena.

Champions League winner Musiala has managed to feature nine times in all competitions for Bayern Munich across all competitions this term, registering one goal and three assists in the process (Musiala statistics – Transfermarkt).

Maintaining an average WhoScored match rating of 7.06/10 for his exploits in the Bundesliga this campaign, Musiala is an extremely bright young player who could add another layer of elite quality to the Citizens' star-studded side.

England put their recent indignities behind them to steal a march in the first ODI at The Kia Oval

The Report by Andrew Miller13-Jun-20181:56

Social story: England take the series lead

England 218 for 7 (Morgan 69, Root 50) beat Australia 214 (Maxwell 62, Plunkett 3-42 Moeen 3-43) by three wickets
Live scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsThey were handing out sandpaper boundary placards on the way up from Vauxhall Tube Station, but in the end, nothing could smooth away the rough edges in Australia’s new-look batting line-up. Despite their rookie bowling attack mounting a spirited defence of a substandard target of 215, England overcame a double dose of jitters to seal a three-wicket victory in the first ODI at The Kia Oval.Most of the pre-series focus had, rightly, been on the absence of Australia’s finest two batsmen, David Warner and Steven Smith, and, as might have been expected, they struggled to mitigate for that void in class. After winning the toss on a bright afternoon in South London, Australia mustered 214 in 47 overs, the sort of slow-death innings that exposed their shortcomings more comprehensively than a full-on batting collapse could have done.Nevertheless, England aren’t without a few notable embarrassments in their (very) recent history, and only days after failing to close out a chase of 372 to hand Scotland a famous victory, they came improbably close to stumbling in pursuit of a target of barely half that height. The beanpole seamer Billy Stanlake was the catalyst for Australia’s defiance, bowling Jason Roy second-ball for a duck as England slipped to 38 for 3 at the top of their innings, before Andrew Tye and his illegible T20 variations came to the fore in the tense closing stages.In the end it was left to David Willey to haul England over the line with an improbably grindy knock of 35 from 41 balls, with Liam Plunkett unbowed for the second match running on 3. But even then, England still won with a handsome 36 deliveries to spare, which spoke to the gulf in batting quality more eloquently than the official margin of victory.That was largely a testament to the elder-statesman class of Joe Root and Eoin Morgan. Their fourth-wicket stand of 115 in 21 overs managed to combine defensive accumulation with calculated aggression in a manner that Australia’s own middle order had been unable to replicate. Without such knowhow to rescue their innings, England really would have been in the soup. But then again, that is the entire point of experience.Before the start of play, Tim Paine had seemed visibly excited at the prospect of ending all the talk of sledging and cheating, and getting back to the day job. But, by the innings break, the captain who had instigated a pre-match handshake with his opponents to mark the start of a new era for his team might have been wondering if he was really that keen to starting talking about actual cricket once again.The early exchanges of Australia’s innings amounted to a vivisection of the tourists’ anxieties in overseas conditions. Willey’s prodigious new-ball swing accounted for Travis Head via a flat-footed slash to slip from his second delivery, before Moeen Ali came whirling through the middle overs, putting his miserable winter behind him with single-spell figures of 10-1-43-3 that might have been lifted straight out of the 1997 Texaco Trophy.Four balls into Moeen’s spell, Aaron Finch gave himself room outside off to pick out short third man with an ambitious wipe. Two balls into his second over, Shaun Marsh stayed leg-side of a well-flighted tweaker, a la Ben Duckett in Bangladesh, and lost his off stump for 24. And when Paine himself, desperate to set a tempo, any tempo, offered catching practice to short third man with a muffed reverse sweep, Moeen’s figures were 3 for 11 in 4.1 overs.After that, it was a given that he’d bowl his spell straight through. Adil Rashid kept him company for a six-over burst of his own, in which time he scalped Marcus Stoinis for 22, before Glenn Maxwell rode to the rescue of his team’s dignity, if not the overall match situation. A restorative 84-run stand for the sixth wicket ended when Plunkett induced a top-edged a pull to deep square leg, and when Ashton Agar misread the length of a Rashid legbreak to be plumb lbw for 40, the tail were rounded up meekly.But there was nothing meek about the response of Stanlake in particular. In the absence of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, this was his chance to demonstrate the timeless virtues of hitting a good length at 90mph. Roy survived one ball before losing the top of his off stump to a beautiful nipbacker, and when the debutant Michael Neser made it two wicket-maidens in the space of four overs by pinning Alex Hales on leg stump, the game was officially afoot.Jonny Bairstow, with three ODI hundreds in as many innings, once again looked a different class in easing to 28 from 22 balls with six outstanding boundaries. But then he nailed a pull straight into the hands of the lone man at square leg to give Kane Richardson his breakthrough, and England faced a test of their ego at 38 for 3.But Root and Morgan swallowed their pride and ate up the overs with deft sweeps, well-placed drives and sharp judgement of the quick singles. By the 29th over, they were 153 for 3 and cruising; three overs later, they’d lost both of their set batsman plus the dangerous Jos Buttler as well, who may be in some of the best form of his life, but today read Tye’s knuckle ball as if it was a Jaipur railway timetable. He had already been dropped off Stanlake – a swirling chance to Paine behind the stumps, who spilled it as his elbows hit the ground – when he scuffed a drive to mid-off.Moeen, determined to carry on playing his way despite criticism of his dismissal at the Grange, looked to have the chase in hand when he holed out to deep midwicket to give Neser his second and ignite that debate all over again. But in the end, he’d already done enough with the ball to ensure that England’s wobbles would not be terminal.

O Palmeiras negocia com o PAOK, da Grécia, para tentar a contratação do treinador Abel Ferreira. A informação foi primeiramente noticiada pelo site ‘Goal’ e confirmada pelo NOSSO PALESTRA/LANCE! com fontes ligadas ao técnico português.

Abel tem mais dois anos de contrato com o time grego e possui uma multa rescisória na casa dos € 7 milhões (cerca de R$ 47 milhões, na cotação atual). O Verdão conversa somente com o PAOK para se acertar quanto à liberação do treinador, buscando reduzir o valor para algo dentro de sua realidade financeira.

O português enxerga o mercado brasileiro com bons olhos, mas se recusa a negociar diretamente com o Palmeiras antes de as tratativas entre os clubes serem concluídas. Abel respeita muito o PAOK, a quem se refere como ‘meu patrão’.

Ex-jogador, Abel Ferreira começou a carreira fora das quatro linhas em 2011, nas categorias de base do Sporting, onde permaneceu até 2014.

Em 2015, assumiu posto no Braga B, onde ficou até 2017, ano em que foi promovido ao time A e ganhou a primeira chance diante de um elenco na elite portuguesa.

Já em 2018, Ferreira levou o Braga a uma campanha histórica, alcançando o maior número de pontos (75), gols (101) e vitórias em uma temporada (33). O bom trabalho no comando do Braga fez com que o técnico se tornasse o terceiro treinador mais caro a ser negociado pelo futebol português, quando o PAOK pagou € 2,5 milhões (cerca de R$ 16,8, na cotação atual) para contratá-lo.

No comando dos gregos, o português recentemente eliminou o Benfica, de Jorge Jesus, da UEFA Champions League. Na Europa, Abel não é mais visto como aposta e já faz os grandes times do continente se atentarem ao seu trabalho.

Manchester United endured something of a rollercoaster of emotions on Sunday afternoon after slipping to a last-gasp defeat to Premier League rivals Arsenal, with goals from Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus in added time helping to secure a 3-1 victory for Mikel Arteta's side.

The outcome of that thrilling contest could, however, have been far different had Alejandro Garnacho's 88th-minute strike not been ruled out for what was an agonisingly tight offside call, with it looking at the time as if United had pulled off a remarkable smash and grab at the Emirates.

Alas, the goal was chalked off and a mad finale soon ensued, although Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag will likely still have been impressed by the composed nature of the teenager's finish, with the aim now likely to try and find a starting berth for the 19-year-old once the international break is at an end.

How did Garnacho perform against Arsenal?

While the former Atletico Madrid ace was introduced off the bench with just a matter of minutes left to play at the weekend amid United's search for a winner, it is testament to his impact as a "game-changer" – as described by Manchester Evening News journalist Samuel Luckhurst – that he was able to make his mark just moments later, albeit with the goal not ultimately standing.

As Luckhurst noted in his post-match player ratings piece for MEN, the 5 foot 11 forward 'took his chance superbly' as he calmly slotted the ball past a sprawling Aaron Ramsdale, with that attempt an indication that the youngster is hoping to build on his tally of ten goals and assists in what was a breakthrough campaign last time out.

The issue at present is, however, that a starting role in the side looks hard to come by for the Madrid native, with Marcus Rashford's preference for playing off the left flank ensuring that Garnacho may have to play second fiddle to the Englishman in that wide berth.

That being said, however, with United having ended the game with Garnacho, Rashford and summer signing Rasmus Hojlund as an attacking triumvirate, Ten Hag must surely be seeking a way to persist with that front line moving forward, hence why slotting the teen speedster on the right flank could be the perfect solution.

Can Garnacho play on the right wing?

Although the £43m-rated wizard has typically lined up on the left during his embryonic senior career to date, he has also been deployed on the opposite flank throughout his time in the youth set-up on occasion, scoring four goals and providing four assists in just eight outings in that position in total.

With Rashford – who scored 30 goals last term – arguably the main man in attack, it is no doubt fair for Garnacho to be the player who is forced to shift role in the attacking unit, with the aim of ousting the struggling Antony.

The latter man has been a firm favourite of Ten Hag after signing from Ajax on an £86m deal last summer, although that continued faith in the 23-year-old from the Dutchman appears to be rather underserved, with the mercurial winger scoring just eight goals in 48 games for the club to date.

The Brazil international has also failed to fire so far this term after failing to provide a solitary goal or assist in the top flight this season, with it difficult to see the wisdom in persisting with such an unreliable asset.

There may be concerns over seeing Garnacho feature in what would be something of a new role, although the case of Diogo Dalot can be a reason for positivity, with the Portugal international having shone after being utilised as an unorthodox left-back option at the weekend.

A right-back by trade, the 24-year-old has been tasked with filling the void of the stricken Luke Shaw in recent games and – his sliding attempt to try and deny Jesus at the death aside – the former Porto ace was largely rather impressive up against the lively Bukayo Saka, having "defended really well" – according to club legend Gary Neville.

With Ten Hag having seen the benefits of making that albeit enforced tactical tweak, perhaps the 53-year-old can do the same by utilising Garnacho on the right flank once play resumes later this month.

In a nutshellLast night’s billing for the contest between Peshawar and Quetta as the game of the tournament looks horribly premature now. In a T20 contest that had more ebbs and flows than most Test matches, Islamabad United edged out Lahore Qalandars, after dragging them, against all logic, into a Super Over – the first in the PSL’s history. Chasing 16 in the Super Over, Andre Russell smashed 10 off the last two balls off the hapless Mustafizur Rehman, the six to seal it cruelly going over Brendon McCullum’s head at long on to put his side on the brink of elimination.This was a match that highlighted how low Lahore Qalandars’ confidence had dipped after beginning this season with three losses. If ever a game was set up to be a stroll to kick things off, it was this for Lahore, requiring just 45 off 52 balls with eight wickets in hand. But there was a sense of unease to it, as Agha Salman, who scored what then seemed a match-winning 48 – holed out to fine leg. As McCullum hung on, playing an uncharacteristic knock that began as sensible but ended up with him having lost all rhythm, it increasingly began to look like he was the man that stood between Lahore and another implosion. After he was run out in the final over, it looked like Lahore had indeed blown it, before an unlikely six by debutant Salman Irshad took them to a Super Over. Victory, however, was still elusive.Islamabad began poorly, with Lahore’s decision to open the bowling with Fakhar Zaman proving inspired. He struck in the first over, and it wasn’t until Hussain Talat – batting far too low at number eight – came in that the innings picked up any momentum. He smashed an unbeaten 33 off 21 to ensure they crossed 120, with every run worth its weight in gold a couple of hours down the line.Where the match was wonSimply put, in the head. With the Qalandars needing 45 off 52 balls with eight wickets in hand, this game didn’t look like becoming the classic it ended up being. But from the moment Agha Salman was dismissed, jitters began to sweep through the Qalandars. Their lack of batting depth was a concern, exacerbated by everyone that came in after failing to so much as reach double figures. The run rate slowly began to creep up and the pressure on McCullum grew, with Lahore struggling to put the game to bed whenever opportunities arose. Before you knew it, Lahore were eight down with seven required off the final over. It should never have come to this.The men that won itHussain Talat gave Islamabad a total to defend, but from thereon, Mohammad Sami and Andre Russell took over. Sami was superb during his four-over spell, targeting the stumps at pace, not allowing McCullum to free his arms. It was particularly impressive since Sami’s is exactly the kind of bowling that McCullum thrives against. What was more, Sami found his lengths in the Super Over, where, even though he conceded 15, it was a score they could chase down. That was thanks to Russell, who, back from a year out, still remembered how to hold his nerve under pressure to clear long-on and nick the game off the final delivery.The decisionMcCullum may go down as the pioneering captain of the T20 generation, but did he balk at a big decision in the Super Over? Sunil Narine had conceded 10 runs in his four overs while Mustafizur, usually exceptional, had an off day, giving away 39 in his allotment. It appeared straightforward who to hand the ball to for the Super Over, but McCullum, perhaps – just perhaps – didn’t fancy a spinner up against Russell. He gave the ball to Mustafizur, who didn’t quite find his lengths, wasn’t brave enough to attempt the yorker, and bowled a wide off the fourth delivery. Maybe that’s overanalysing it, but Lahore, having lost all four of their games and on a six-run losing streak overall, should expect some of that from the media and their exigent fans.Where they standLahore are firmly at the bottom of the pile, with no wins or points from four games. Islamabad United have 4 points, joint with Peshawar and Quetta. Karachi and Multan occupy the top two slots after their game was washed out today with 7 and 5 points respectively.

We find ourselves two games into the new Premier League season and Everton already look set to teeter along the perilous tightrope of relegation.

The Toffees have only spent €12.5m (£10.6m) on Youseff Chermiti, whilst also bringing in the veteran Ashley Young on free transfer, and Arnaut Danjuma and Jack Harrison on loan.

However, Sean Dyche’s men find themselves at the bottom of the table and crying out for some offensive reinforcements to reverse their ill fortune.

As a result, Everton are linked to one of France’s most exciting and promising talents…

What’s the latest Everton transfer news?

According to Le Parisien, Everton are ‘still talking’ with Paris Saint-Germain striker Hugo Ekitike and his entourage about a possible summer transfer.

It is understood that the 21-year-old has known for two weeks that he has no future at the French juggernaut and needs to find a new club before the window shuts.

Read the latest Everton transfer news HERE…

But, AC Milan, Lyon, and West Ham are all interested in Ekitike, with the latter having positioned themselves ‘more concretely’ in the last few days.

The Irons sporting director Tim Steidten has reportedly held a ‘positive’ meeting with the forward and his agents.

Earlier in the window, Fabrizio Romano revealed that the Merseysiders were in talks over a loan deal with a mandatory buy-option in the region of €35m (£30m). But, as has been reiterated, there are many clubs keen on the youngster so Everton must accelerate their attempts to conclude this transfer.

Would Hugo Ekitike be a good signing for Everton?

Ekitike, who has been described as “special” by former manager Oscar Garcia, has demonstrated across two full seasons of relatively regular Ligue 1 football that he is a useful and dangerous asset.

In 52 appearances in this division, he has scored 13 times and crafted eight assists, playing as a nimble, hard-working, and effervescent focal point.

The most eye-catching part of his short career was the 2021/22 season with Reims, where Ekitike netted ten goals in 15 league starts.

But, this didn’t come as a surprise to some, with Reims reserve team coach Franck Chalencon lauding the talent:

“Very young, we saw a huge potential, something natural, with a feeling for scoring a goal.

“His main quality? His instinct for goal. It's very rare that Hugo plays a game without creating a chance himself at any occasion. In front of the goal, his ratio is excellent. But he's not only a striker, he can play on the wing, too. Very technical.”

Last summer, the Frenchman secured a loan move to PSG with a €35m (£30m) option to turn the deal into a permanent transfer.

In his first season at the Parc des Princes, he recorded eight goal contributions in 32 matches, and despite joining permanently, he looks set to be offloaded.

Ekitike’s signing would finally be a replacement for Richarlison, who in four years at Goodison Park, established himself as a firm fan-favourite thanks to his dogged work rate, endless running, and eye for goal.

Similarly to Ekitike, he doesn’t possess a mind-boggling goal-scoring record, with 53 goals in 152 appearances for the Toffees, but he was massively important in the effort to avoid relegation.

Former Everton and current Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti once claimed that Richarlison is a “modern and complete forward, not very sharp on his feet but coordinated and with great synchronization in the area.”

Therefore, Ekitike could be the long-awaited heir to Richarlison’s loveable, influential, and dynamic throne.

The Merseyside outfit are desperate for this dimension in attack and Ekitike could be the one to provide this for Dyche, though time is running out in the transfer window to finally land the true heir to Richarlison's throne at Goodison Park.

O técnico Tiago Nunes contou com reforços de alguns atletas das categorias sub-20 e sub-23 na atividade do dia. Dez jogadores das categorias de base do clube, todos com exames negativos de Covid-19, completaram o treino.

Assim, comandante corintiano promoveu um trabalho tático em campo reduzido e, na sequência, um treino coletivo. Vale lembrar que as informações são fornecidas pelo Timão, já que os jornalistas não podem acompanhar os treinamentos in loco devido ao protocolo definido para esta retomada.

Foi a primeira vez que atletas da base participaram dos treinamentos desde o retorno das atividades do futebol, em julho. Eles estão em preparação para a volta das competições. Até a parada por conta da pandemia, era comum ter os jovens do Terrão participando das atividades com o elenco principal.

Para domingo, há muitas dúvidas em relação ao time titular que Tiago Nunes vai definir para enfrentar o rival. Pelo menos quatro posições parecem não ter um dono, enquanto sete tem figurinhas carimbadas. Sendo assim, um provável Corinthians é: Cássio; Fagner, Gil, Danilo Avelar e Sidcley; Gabriel (Éderson) e Cantillo; Mateus Vital (Ramiro), Araos (Luan) e Léo Natel (Ramiro); Jô.

Na manhã deste sábado, no CT Joaquim Grava, o Timão realiza o último treino preparatório para o Majestoso. Atualmente o Timão ocupa a 12ª posição na tabela do campeonato com cinco pontos, já o Tricolor é o terceiro, com dez.
