Manchester City made a major Premier League title statement with a dominant 3-0 win over Liverpool, cutting Arsenal’s lead to four points. Despite Erling Haaland missing an early penalty, he opened the scoring with his 19th goal of the season before Nico González’s deflected strike doubled City’s lead in first-half stoppage time. Jérémy Doku then sealed the victory with a stunning curler after tormenting Liverpool’s defence all evening. Liverpool saw a potential equaliser from Virgil van Dijk ruled out for offside and struggled to cope with City’s pace and precision. The defeat — their fourth straight away loss — leaves…

Harry Kane’s stoppage-time header earned Bayern Munich a 2-2 draw at Union Berlin, preserving their unbeaten season but ending a 16-game winning streak. Union led twice through Danilho Doekhi, while Luis Díaz equalised with a curling strike before Kane’s late rescue. “It wasn’t our best game, but we stayed focused,” said the England captain. Bayern top the Bundesliga on 28 points, six clear after RB Leipzig lost 3-1 at Hoffenheim. Elsewhere, Dortmund conceded a 97th-minute equaliser in a 1-1 draw at Hamburg. In Serie A, Milan let slip a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at Parma, and Juventus were held…

Ruben Amorim accused his Manchester United side of becoming complacent after they let a dominant position slip in a 3-3 draw against Tottenham. United led for much of the match after Bryan Mbeumo’s first-half opener, but goals from Mathys Tel and Richarlison turned the game on its head before Matthijs de Ligt rescued a point with a 96th-minute header. While the dramatic equaliser extended United’s unbeaten run to five games, Amorim was unhappy with the team’s attitude. “We were comfortable in the game but I think we should do better, be more aggressive,” he said. “We felt too comfortable. Anything…

David Raya’s outstanding form continued as Arsenal equalled a 122-year club record for consecutive clean sheets during their 3-0 win over Slavia Prague. The Spanish goalkeeper has now gone nearly 13 hours without conceding, anchoring a run of eight straight shutouts across all competitions — the first time since 1903 the Gunners have achieved such a feat. Raya was barely troubled in Prague, with Slavia managing just one shot on target. Even so, he remained sharp — racing to the touchline to consult goalkeeping coach Iñaki Caña when a late penalty was awarded, only for VAR to overturn the decision.…

Chelsea’s hierarchy remain fully behind Enzo Maresca’s rotation and recruitment strategy despite the 2-2 draw with Qarabag in the Champions League on Wednesday night. The Italian made seven changes to his starting lineup for the trip to Baku, a decision that drew scrutiny after the result. However, club officials view his approach as a necessary long-term plan to protect player fitness across a congested season. With injuries to key players such as Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer, Levi Colwill and Benoît Badiashile, and several others — including Moisés Caicedo and Enzo Fernández — carrying knocks, Maresca opted to rotate heavily. His…

Tottenham Hotspur defender Destiny Udogie has been revealed as the Premier League footballer allegedly threatened at gunpoint by an agent in north London. The incident reportedly took place late on 6 September in Cockfosters, Barnet, while Udogie was out with a friend. Police were called after an agent allegedly brandished a firearm and made threats. The suspect, a 31-year-old man, was later arrested on suspicion of possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear, blackmail, and driving without a licence. He has since been released on bail. There is no suggestion the agent involved represents Udogie. The Tottenham defender, who…

Sir David Attenborough’s new BBC series Kingdom has captured an extraordinary scene of a lion saving a pregnant hyena from wild dogs in Zambia’s Luangwa Valley. Filmed over five years, the documentary follows four rival carnivore families — lions, hyenas, leopards, and wild dogs — revealing their fierce struggles for survival. “We could never have written a script like this — only nature could,” said executive producer Mike Gunton. The series, which also shows tender moments like newborn lion cubs and dramatic rescues, highlights human threats such as habitat loss and poaching. Scientific consultant Dr Matthew Becker said the footage…

Real Sociedad earned a thrilling 3-2 victory over Athletic Club in a rain-soaked Basque derby decided by Jon Gorrotxategi’s last-minute winner — the first stoppage-time goal to ever settle this historic rivalry. The Reale Arena erupted as Gorrotxategi, a homegrown academy player making his derby debut, smashed home from close range after an earlier mishit shot rebounded his way. “I hit it with my soul,” he said afterward, summing up a night of raw emotion and local pride. The derby had everything: passion, chaos, and goals that reflected its intensity. Ander Barrenetxea opened the scoring after returning to the field…

Erling Haaland continued his remarkable scoring run as Manchester City beat Bournemouth 3-1 to climb into second place in the Premier League. The Norwegian striker struck twice in the first half, taking his tally to 13 league goals this season and 98 in 107 Premier League appearances. His first came after racing behind Bournemouth’s high defensive line, and he doubled the lead just after the half-hour mark with another clinical finish. Bournemouth briefly equalised when Tyler Adams capitalised on a fumble from City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, but City quickly regained control. After the break, academy product Nico O’Reilly sealed the…

The growing use of GLP‑1 medications, including Semaglutide, Wegovy, and Ozempic, is beginning to show measurable public-health benefits. Experts suggest that these drugs are creating new opportunities to prevent chronic diseases associated with obesity and related health conditions. GLP‑1 drugs work by regulating appetite and blood sugar, helping patients achieve sustained weight loss. This effect has wide-reaching implications, as reducing obesity can lower the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic illnesses. Healthcare professionals report that patients using GLP‑1 medications, alongside healthy lifestyle changes, are experiencing significant health improvements. Reduced body weight and better blood sugar control…
