Burnley were relegated from the Premier League after a 2-1 defeat against Tottenham on Saturday. Vincent Kompany’s side needed a victory in north London to have any chance of taking their survival bid to the last day of the season. Jacob Bruun Larsen’s 25th-minute opener gave the second-bottom Clarets a glimmer of hope. But Pedro Porro equalised seven minutes later and Micky van de Ven bagged Tottenham’s winner in the 82nd minute. Five points adrift of fourth-bottom Nottingham Forest with one game left, Burnley join already-relegated Sheffield United in returning to the Championship after last season’s promotion. Kompany consoled his heart-broken players on ...

Cole Palmer’s latest goal has seen him equal an impressive record in his debut season at Chelsea. Palmer broke the deadlock against West Ham in the 15th minute when he was quickest to a loose ball in the box to finish past Alphonse Areola at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. 4 Palmer broke the deadlock against West HamCredit: Getty It is his 21st goal in the Premier League, while the 21-year-old already has nine assists – meaning he has 30 goal contributions in the league in his debut season. Only one other player has matched such a feat – Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink after he signed for Chelsea in 2000, who scored 23 times and made seven assists. And Palmer could have pulled away from the Dutchman when he set Conor Gallagher up with a perfect ball across the box. However, the midfiel...

GENEVA (AP) — FIFA has been warned of legal action from players and national leagues if it does not backtrack on adding new and bigger competitions to the congested calendar of men’s international soccer.

Michael Olise‘s cannon of a shot in Crystal Palace’s 4-0 thrashing of Manchester United on Monday condemned the Red Devils to their 13th defeat of the season – the most they’ve ever suffered in a single Premier League campaign.

Former Arsenal star Granit Xhaka has issued a rallying cry to his former team-mates after their season was dealt a blow by crushing back-to-back defeats.  The Gunners have enjoyed an incredible season that has seen them play some superb football under Mikel Arteta, scoring 75 goals along the way to aid their title charge – but a 2-0 home defeat to Aston Villa handed the initiative to Man City.  Just days later, Arteta’s side were then dumped out of the Champions League after a 3-2 defeat on aggregate against Bayern Munich, leaving them at risk of missing out on winning silverware this season.  Xhaka left the Emirates last summer for Bayer Leverkusen and has instantly enjoyed success, lifting the Bundesliga title following a so-far unbeaten campaign under boss Xabi Alonso – while they are ...

No team in English professional football have played fewer games than Tottenham this season and with only a dozen Premier League outings in nearly four months, the going has been particularly tedious since the turn of the year. Now it all ends with a rush of six games in three weeks, starting with Sunday’s derby against Arsenal, and something of a reckoning to determine how Ange Postecoglou’s first year goes down in history. No trophies. Nothing new there. More flair, big tick from the faithful. But can they qualify for the Champions League? Will they fizzle into the Europa League? Or worse? And just how much satisfaction can they derive if they manage to sabotage Arsenal’s title bid? That certainly isn’t Postecoglou’s style. ‘I want to win and I understand the importance of winning again...

He has played 222 times for the Reds, which averages around 25 times a season. Gomez has not always been first choice and has been often used as a substitute. The report claims that Gomez is not actively pursuing an exit, but would be open to a new challenge. This could mean a full rebuild for Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes for incoming boss Arne Slot, who could be without ...

Jurgen Klopp has appealed to Liverpool fans not to dampen Anfield’s famous atmosphere with their planned protest on Thursday night. Supporters group Spion Kop 1906 and fellow organisations have called for a boycott in taking flags to the stadium for the game against Atalanta in opposition to ticket rises next season. Though price increases announced by the club are just two per cent, Merseyside is one of the least affluent parts of the country and adult season tickets will cost between £753 and £904. Ahead of Thursday night’s Europa League quarter-final first leg, Klopp admitted he was caught between sympathy for the fans and loyalty to his club. But the German stressed that, during the game, he wanted Anfield to keep its reputation as one of the most vocal and intimidating sporting arena...
