Newcastle United end long wait for a trophy

Image
Liverpool 1 - 2 Newcastle United Newcastle United ended a seven-decade wait for a domestic trophy with a fully deserved Carabao Cup final victory over Liverpool at Wembley. Author - William G Stadium - Wembley Stadium Eddie Howeā€™s side delivered a performance of discipline and intensity, sparking wild celebrations among the Toon Army as goals from Dan Burn and Alexander Isak either side of half-time secured their historic win. Burn, fresh from his first England call-up, powered home a header from Kieran Trippierā€™s corner in first-half stoppage time, before Isak capitalised on Jacob Murphyā€™s knockdown to fire in a clinical finish seven minutes after the break. Liverpool, still reeling from their midweek Champions League exit to Paris Saint-Germain on penalties, pulled one back through substitute Federico Chiesa in added time, setting up a tense finale. But Newcastle held firm, surviving a nervy finish to lift their first domestic trophy since the 1955 FA Cup and their first major ho...

Premier League: Bournemouth boost their survival chances

Image
AFC Bournemouth 1 - 0  Liverpool Mohamed Salah's awful penalty miss helped Bournemouth climb out of the relegation zone after an excellent win that damaged Liverpool's chances of qualifying for next season's Champions League. PL reaction: Liverpool 7 - 0 Manchester United Back down to earth with a bump Jurgen Klopp's were brought back down to earth after last week's 7-0 thrashing of Manchester United as the Cherries did their survival chances a power of good. Liverpool were punished for poor defending when the unmarked Philip Billing struck after fine work by Dango Ouattara. Virgil van Dijk had a header cleared off the line at 0-0 and substitute Diogo Jota was denied by Neto's fine save. This was before Liverpool won a penalty when the Portugal forward's header was handled by Adam Smith. However, Salah blazed the penalty wide much to the delight of Bournemouth's fans. While the win ensured Bournemouth finished the day 17th, Liverpool missed the chanc...

UNREAL šŸ”„ pic.twitter.com/c9se5K1Ee1 ā€” B/R Football (@brfootball) January 29, 2023 Kaoru Mitoma scored in injury time as Brighton knocked holders Liverpool out of the cup with an impressive victory at the Amex.With the game heading to a draw the Japanese winger Mitoma produced a great piece of control before firing in from close range to stun the Reds. Jurgen Klopp's side, who were beaten 3-0 at the Seagulls two weeks ago, took the lead midway through the first half when Harvey Elliott slotted into the bottom corner from Mohamed Salah's pass following a quick break. Brighton then equalised when Tariq Lamptey's shot from distance deflected heavily off Lewis Dunk to fly into the back of the net. Late drama It looked like a replay would be needed to decide the tie before Mitoma stepped up to snatch another big result for Brighton. It is a ...

Premier League: West Ham hold Liverpool to a draw

Image
West Ham United 2 - 2 Liverpool  Liverpool's title hopes were dented again after Michail Antonio scored to rescue a point for West Ham at the London Stadium. Jarrod Bowen opened the scoring just before the break when he rose highest to meet Mohammed Kudus' cross. At this point, Liverpool were showing little evidence that their Merseyside derby loss in midweek had done much in the way of spurring them on. Klopp's side were much improved in the second half and Andy Robertson equalised when he scored from Luis Diaz's low pass into the penalty area. Liverpool were then rewarded again for their pressure when Cody Gakpo's effort from a corner deflected off Angelo Ogbonna, Tomas Soucek and Alphonse Areola before finding the back of the net. Antonio's fine header put the Hammers back on level terms two minutes before Liverpool brought on Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian couldn't win the game for Liverpool and appeared to have fallen out with the manager.  You can w...

Premier League: United battle to hold Liverpool

Image
 Liverpool 0 - 0 Manchester United Manchester United provided a much-needed boost to manager Erik ten Hag's morale by securing a hard-fought draw against Liverpool at Anfield.  This came at a crucial time when the team was grappling with a sense of crisis following a heavy home defeat to Bournemouth and a lacklustre Champions League exit at the hands of Bayern Munich . Despite facing adversity and an injury-hit squad, United managed to halt their recent decline, albeit with a less-than-stellar performance.  The match, marred by mediocrity, saw Diogo Dalot being sent off for dissent in stoppage time. Nevertheless, Ten Hag had reasons to smile, contrasting with the disappointment felt by Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp, whose team missed an opportunity to reclaim the top spot in the Premier League. United goalkeeper Andre Onana made a crucial save in the first half, denying Virgil van Dijk, while Rasmus Hojlund had a promising chance in the second half, only to be thwarted by ...

Premier League: United and Liverpool play out another chaotic classic

Image
 Manchester United 2 - 2 Liverpool "I genuinely feared that we'd be beaten heavily by Liverpool again. I was pleasantly surprised by the result, especially after the first 45 minutes." Those words were sent to us by Liam, a Manchester United Season Ticket holder . He was in the Stretford End as United drew with Liverpool for the second time in the Premier League this season.  How did the drama unfold? Liverpool missed the chance to climb to the top of the Premier League in another thrilling match at Old Trafford. Manager Jurgen Klopp and his players will be left wondering how they failed to avenge the FA Cup quarter-final loss last month. The Anfield side missed numerous chances and were dominating the hosts for long periods. The away side only had a Luis Diaz strike to show for almost total first-half superiority in which they had 15 shots to none from United. The United boss Erik Ten Hag would have been thankful for the visitors' wastefulness and saves from keeper...

Premier League: Liverpool and Chelsea play out entertaining draw

Image
 Chelsea 1 - 1 Liverpool Two of the teams who will be fighting to qualify for next season's Champions League played at an entertaining draw at Stamford Bridge. Both sides played out a fascinating showdown at Stamford Bridge. The match also displayed why they're fiercely vying for the signature of Moises Caicedo, the talented Brighton midfielder valued at well over Ā£100 million. Liverpool had previously secured a groundbreaking deal to acquire Caicedo, setting a new British record in the process. However, the player's personal inclination seemed to be that he wants a move to Chelsea.  Will the midfielder end up at Stamford Bridge? That's potentially a discussion for another day. This clash on the pitch underscored the attacking prowess of both teams, while also laying bare their defensive vulnerabilities that highlight why Caicedo has become such a coveted target. During the early stages, Liverpool took control, with Mohamed Salah rattling the crossbar. The Egyptian...

Premier League: Palace stun Liverpool again

Image
 Liverpool 0 - 1 Crystal Palace  Crystal Palace have done it against Liverpool again.  Older fans of the London club would have been taken back to the 1990 FA Cup semi-final. Younger fans would have been remembering that stunning comeback from 3-0 down in 2014 that wrecked their title chances. What is it about Palace and destroying Liverpool's trophy dreams? The reaction to the final whistle suggested that this was a hugely damaging week for Liverpool. JĆ¼rgen Klopp congratulated his opponent on a Crystal Palace victory that has reverberated at both ends of the table before puffing out his cheeks and shaking his head in despair.  At the end of the match, Andy Robertson looked like he was in a trance. The home fans filed out of Anfield in total silence. In a title race with the tightest margins, Liverpool have blinked first.  Arsenal, would of course, blink later on in the day. This ultimately makes it advantage for Manchester City. It's starting to look like ...

Amad secures deserved point for United at Anfield

Image
Liverpool 2 - 2 Manchester United  Manchester United showcased a newfound fighting spirit under manager Ruben Amorim, earning a hard-fought point against Premier League leaders Liverpool. Author - Olivia T Desperate to avoid a fourth consecutive league defeat for the first time since 1979, United stunned Anfield by taking the lead on 52 minutes. Lisandro Martinez smashed the ball past Alisson with a thunderous finish, silencing the home crowd. Liverpool responded swiftly, levelling seven minutes later through Cody Gakpoā€™s brilliantly executed angled strike. The game then appeared to turn against United when Mohamed Salah converted a penalty with 20 minutes remaining, equalling Thierry Henry's Premier League tally of 175 goals. The spot-kick was awarded after a VAR review deemed Matthijs de Ligt guilty of handball. After all that, United refused to surrender. Amad Diallo, fresh from his heroics against Manchester City, popped up with another crucial goal, calmly slotting in Ale...

Premier League reaction: Are Leeds going down?

Image
Leeds United 1 - 6 Liverpool Let's all explore all the best reaction as Leeds United were thrashed by Liverpool at Elland Road. It must be a concern for Leeds fans as, alongside Everton, they face a huge battle to stay in the Premier League. Check out this vlog from YouTuber LUFC Lewis. Warning, parts of the video may contain bad language.  LEEDS FANS DISGUSTED AS LIVERPOOL NET 6!šŸ¤¬ Leeds United 1-6 Liverpool | Premier League 2022/23 - YouTube "I can't see us winning another game."  Those were the words of Leeds Season Ticket holder Oliver. He went on to say: "The performance against Palace wasn't great obviously but the end result was a bit of a fluke. Despite being beaten this time by a better side in Liverpool, I am now a lot more concerned. I can't see us winning another game and believe we could very easily get relegated." "We have a lot going wrong at the worst possible time." Richard was also concerned about his side's futur...

Liverpool hold on for vital three points

Image
Liverpool 2 - 1 Wolves Mohamed Salah extended his red-hot scoring form as a nervy Liverpool saw off Wolves to stretch their lead at the top of the Premier League to seven points. Author - William G Stadium - Anfield   The Egyptian forward calmly converted from the penalty spot, making it five goals in four league matches, with manager Arne Slot watching from the sidelines. Slot was shown a red card following Liverpoolā€™s Merseyside derby draw with Everton , but the Dutchman has until Wednesday to respond to the FAā€™s charge. Determined to put Evertonā€™s dramatic 98th-minute equaliser behind them, Liverpool started brightly at Anfield and took the lead after 15 minutes, thanks to Luis DĆ­azā€™s persistence. The Colombian ended a 10-game goal drought by bundling the ball over the line after Salahā€™s pass was deflected in the box by Wolves defender Toti Gomes. Liverpool doubled their advantage 22 minutes later when referee Simon Hooper awarded a penalty after Wolves keeper JosĆ© SĆ” brought ...

Transfer Rumours: Salah on the move?

Image
Mo Salah has been linked with a move away from Liverpool Where could he go? The Egyptian forward is the one Liverpool superstar the club may be willing to sell this summer who could secure a huge fee. The red side of Merseyside are planning a major overhaul on the back of a poor campaign amid takeover speculation and upheaval behind the scenes. Where will the rebuild go next? Title winner Sadio Mane was sold last summer to make way for the club-record Darwin Nunez signing. It will need a similar star-player departure to enable Jurgen Klopp and the clubā€™s recruitment team to bring in the players to try and kickstart a new era. The big question for Liverpool fans (discussed further down the page) is who they would replace Salah with him. Salah's been a huge player for Liverpool In 2017, Salah signed for Liverpool for a then-club record transfer of Ā£36.9 million. In his first season, he set the record for most Premier League goals scored in a 38-game season and helped Liverpool to...

When Andy Johnson and Tim Cahill were the pride of Everton

Image
We're having a throwback to September 2006. This was a time when the mood at Goodison Park was very different. When the 'big clubs' visited Everton at that point, the Toffees usually expected to cause a shock. Author - Sarah W  Do you remember when Everton played Liverpool in 2006? Andy Johnson and Tim Cahill were outstanding for the Toffees. eurosuperfootball.blogspot.com/search/label... youtu.be/lMQtkPJd634?... [image or embed] ā€” European Super Football ( @superfootball.bsky.social ) 6 December 2024 at 14:18 This resounding 3-0 victory over Liverpool in the September 2006 Merseyside derby was their biggest derby triumph in 42 years. It was achieved with a clinical performance and solid defensive organisation. Let's have a closer look at what happened. Tim Cahill opened the scoring after 23 minutes, capitalising on a loose ball to slot home from close range. Just 12 minutes later, Andrew Johnson doubled Evertonā€™s lead. He pounced on a defensive error by Jamie C...

Premier League: Liverpool see off Chelsea

Image
Liverpool 2 - 1 Chelsea Arne Slot's outstanding start as Liverpool manager continued as his side saw off a clearly improved Chelsea at Anfield. Author - Katrine Jonnson  Chelsea are now winless in their last ten matches against Liverpool, including losses in the Carabao Cup final and FA Cup final in 2022, both decided by penalties, along with a defeat at Wembley in extra time last season. Slot is the first Liverpool boss to win 10 of his first 11 games, with this latest victory putting them a point clear of  Manchester City after their dramatic stoppage-time win at Wolves. A closer look at what happened Mohamed Salah gave Liverpool the lead after 29 minutes, converting a penalty following Levi Colwillā€™s foul on Curtis Jones.  Just before half-time, Liverpool were awarded a second penalty when Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez brought down Jones, but after initially being given by referee John Brooks, the decision was overturned by VAR. #LIVCHE ā€“ 45+2ā€™ VAR OVERTURN ...

Premier League: Villa edge closer to Champions League qualification

Image
 Aston Villa 3 - 3 Liverpool Aston Villa pulled off a thrilling late comeback against Liverpool at Villa Park to secure a crucial point in the battle for fourth place in the Premier League. Villa had the chance to seal a Champions League spot with a win, setting the stage for an electric atmosphere ahead of kickoff, highlighted by a special address to the fans from Hollywood icon and avid supporter Tom Hanks. However, Unai Emery's squad found themselves trailing 3-1 with just five minutes remaining, seemingly leaving the door ajar for Tottenham, but two goals from substitute Jhon Duran turned the tide, securing an improbable draw. The early festivities took a hit within minutes when goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez's unfortunate blunder saw him deflect Harvey Elliott's cross into his own net, leaving the Holte End in disbelief. Villa then rallied as Youri Tielemans slammed home an equaliser after 12 minutes, only for Liverpool to regain the lead through Cody Gakpo, exploit...

FA Cup: United and Liverpool play out a classic

Image
 Manchester United 4 - 3 Liverpool Manchester United secured their spot in the FA Cup semi-final after a dramatic 4-3 victory over Liverpool at Old Trafford. Before the game, everyone was talking about how strong Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool team was, but from the start, it was United who came out swinging with some serious attacking moves. Just 10 minutes in, Alejandro Garnacho took a shot that got deflected, Caoimhin Kelleher tried to save it, but it ended up right in the path of Scott McTominay. Old Trafford erupted.  Liverpool fought back hard , and just before halftime, they managed to sneak in a couple of goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah, putting them at half-time. The second half was tense, with both teams hunting for that next crucial goal. It wasn't until the home side made some attacking changes, thanks to Ten Hag's tactical moves, that the home side started to put some pressure. They finally found the equaliser. Antony, coming off the bench, save...

Ten-man Liverpool fight back against Fulham

Liverpool 2 - 2 Fulham Diogo Jota made a dramatic return from injury to rescue a late point for Premier League leaders Liverpool, who twice came from behind with 10 men to draw against Fulham at Anfield following Andy Robertson's red card. Author - William G from GMCR Football Fulham would have been frustrated with only a point in the end. There's plenty to be positive about though if you're a Fulham fan.

UEL: Liverpool shocked by Italian side

Image
 Liverpool 0 - 3 Atalanta A few weeks ago, Liverpool fans were dreaming of 4 trophies. This time next week, there's every chance that they will only be fighting to add the Premier League to their Carabao Cup.  The Anfield side faces a huge battle to stay in the Europa League after suffering a home defeat to Atalanta in the quarter-final first leg.  Let's explore what happened.  The former West Ham United forward Gianluca Scamacca scored in each half. Ex-Chelsea player Mario Pasalic added a late third goal to ensure the Italians start strong favourites to reach the semi-finals when the sides meet in the return leg in Bergamo.  After a fairly open first 30 minutes or so, Scamacca managed to break the deadlock in the 38th minute after Caoimhin Kelleher allowed his low drive to creep under him. On a deeply frustrating night for below-par Liverpool, Darwin Nunez missed two big chances to give Liverpool a foothold in the match. Harvey Elliott's curling attempt som...

PL: Leicester City get revenge on Liverpool

Image
Leicester City 1 - 0 Liverpool Ademola Lookman scored the only goal of the match as Leicester City beat Liverpool. This leaves the Reds six points off the top of the Premier League table. Liverpool's best chances came in the first half when Mohamed Salah had a penalty saved by Kasper Schmeichel and the Egyptian headed the rebound off the bar. Sadio Mane then wasted a couple of chances for Jurgen Klopp's side. The 2020 Premier League champions were made to pay by the hosts in the 59th minute. Lookman, with only his fourth touch after coming on, took Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's pass in his stride, beat Liverpool's Joel Matip and fired a shot past Alisson. This was Leicester's only shot on target. Leicester hung on despite the relentless late Liverpool pressure. This all came just six days after blowing a 3-1 lead to lose on penalties against the same opposition in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup. This result was all the more remarkable given the home side's ...

Transfer Rumours: Liverpool star heading to Madrid?

Image
Could another English player be moving to Real Madrid? Real Madrid are eager to lure Trent Alexander-Arnold away from Anfield this summer. It has been reported that Trent's England teammate Jude Bellingham might be playing a crucial role in this potential move, as their bond is thought to have deepened during Euro 2024. The midfielder joined Los Blancos last year from Borussia Dortmund and had an outstanding debut season, winning both La Liga and the Champions League, and quickly becoming a key player. It's uncertain whether Real Madrid will follow up their interest with a formal offer for Alexander-Arnold, who came through Liverpool's academy. At the same time, it's unclear if Liverpool would consider letting their versatile right-back go. This is a player that is idolised by the Kopp and other Liverpool fans.  Currently, there has been no discussion about Alexander-Arnold signing a new contract with his boyhood club. Some suggest that JĆ¼rgen Klopp's departure...
