Riyad Mahrez set Pep Guardiola’s side on their way with a brilliant free-kick over the wall, before Julian Alvarez made it 2-0 from the penalty spot after Kai Havertz’s handball.

While the Algerian winger was undoubtedly impressive against…

TalkSPORT pundit Tony Cascarino has now said that Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has been the best player at the club over the past 12 months. Speaking on TalkSPORT this morning, he was very complimentary about the Brazilian shot stopper. This was in stark contrast to his performance against Wolves yesterday, which left much to be desired. He was at fault for the visitors first goal, passing the ball directly to Goncalo Guedes who slotted into the empty net. Alisson would have hoped to have done better for Wolves second goal as well. The ball squirmed under his body after Hwang Hee-chan and Ibrahima Konate clashed in the box. Alisson’s distribution…

Jason McAteer says he ‘just can’t protect’ Alisson Becker after the Liverpool goalkeeper’s error during his side’s 2-2 draw against Wolves in the FA Cup third-round on Saturday. Whatever gift(s) Goncalo Guedes received at Christmas, well, he just got a pretty late one via the feet of Liverpool’s number one, who had a brain fade at Anfield. The Reds already have had their issues this season, no more so than in the middle of the mark and from a defensive aspect. Therefore, it doesn’t help when your keeper is passing the ball straight to an opponent, who had an open net to score the first…

As per CBS reporter, Ben Jacobs, Chelsea have their eye on the Ecuadorian international with a January deal in mind. Current Chelsea boss Graham Potter was the man who helped bring…

Man Utd and Erik ten Hag are set to enforce a new ‘Ronaldo rule’ which will limit first-team stars’ salaries to a maximum of £200,000-a-week in order control their annual wage bill Marcus Rashford’s Man Utd future is unclear (Image: Getty Images) Manchester United have implemented a ‘Ronaldo rule’ which could see Marcus Rashford leave the club. The Red Devils are reportedly set to introduce a new salary cap which will no longer see players receive over £200,000-per-week. The new cap marks a shift in mind-set for the United hierarchy, who are no longer happy to break their wage structure to bring in mega-stars.…

Man United are reportedly bringing in a cap for wages in what has been dubbed the ‘Ronaldo rule’. Gary Neville has labelled Manchester United’s reported plan to cap wages at the club to £200,000 per week as ‘strange’, as he pointed to Casemiro’s salary as a potential issue with the rule. Recent reports have hinted that United are planning to introduce a so-called ‘Ronaldo rule’ in a bid to stop any members of the squad becoming jealous of their teammates’ wages. The rule would see all salaries limited at £200k per week, regardless of seniority. But former United captain Neville is far from convinced with the…

Going to the dentist is a tiresome experience at best, and judging by this scene, it seems it is no different in the wild. These pictures show a giraffe waiting for a red-billed oxpecker to finish working as its dentist, in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania. However, despite the kind gesture from his bird-friend, the giraffe appears to be anything but grateful as it pulls a series of grumpy faces during the ‘check-up’. Thorough clean: The tiny bird pecks its way around the giraffe’s lower jaw, looking for ‘leftovers’ Open wide: A giraffe gets a thorough dental check-up by a…

Male lions are still considered “lords of the steppe” thanks to their superior strength compared to many other animals. However, the task of hunting in the herd will be carried out by the female lion, while the male usually plays the role of protecting the herd. Lions are the only big cats to live in groups, which gives them the ability to hunt with the highest success rate of any large ungulate – hence the nickname “king” Lord of the jungle”. https://youtu.be/hRragXEVTFw

Kalvin Phillips returned from the World Cup with England overweight and faced the full force of Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola’s disdain before returning to the fold Pep Guardiola has warned Kalvin Phillips that he must be in perfect condition year round. But after publicly digging the midfielder out last week for returning from his post-World Cup break overweight, the Manchester City boss is ready to throw him back into his starting line-up. That might be on Sunday in the FA Cup third round against Chelsea after his late cameo in the Premier League meeting between the two sides on Thursday. But certainly against Southampton in the Blues’ EFL Cup quarter-final on Wednesday as they try…

Manchester City are reportedly willing to base their midfield revamp around Jude Bellingham next summer – but will wait on the futures of Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva first before deciding how much to invest. Pep Guardiola is looking to overhaul things in the middle of the park with a few of his players not getting any younger, but City won’t break the bank until they know whether Gundogan and Silva are set to commit to the club, according to ESPN. Gundogan’s contract at the club ends this summer – while Silva’s deal runs until 2025, but the Portguese star has…

Liverpool were held to a 2-2 draw against Wolves in the FA Cup third round. Jurgen Klopp rued the lack of challenges Liverpool won as they scraped a draw against Wolves in the FA Cup third round. The Reds – who are holders of the competition – were held to a 2-2 stalemate against their Premier League rivals at Anfield, with the tie now heading for a replay at Molineux. It was another unconvincing performance from Liverpool and they needed two controversial moments to earn a draw. Mo Salah’s goal that put the Reds 2-1 ahead in the 52nd minute…

Liverpool have had a terrible start to their Premier League season by their standards, and Jurgen Klopp will be desperate for ways to improve the current form at Anfield which is hindering his team’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League next season. The Reds are sixth in the Premier League after a string of inconsistent performances and are now 16 points adrift of leaders Arsenal and seven points shy of the top four following their first 17 games. That must drastically improve if they are to have any hope of climbing back up and claiming a top four position at the end of the season. The January transfer window could…

YouTuber Mark Goldbridge has slammed the recent Manchester United links to Al Nassr forward Vincent Aboubakar. According to Saudi outlet Okaz (via the Daily Express), the Premier League side have submitted a loan bid for the Al Nassr forward.

Speaking on The United Stand,…

Rashford, who has been in scintillating form of late, has made seven goal contributions in United’s last five matches since the end of the World Cup with five goals and two assists. In their FA Cup clash against Everton in midweek, Rashford was on the scoresheet once again as he scored the third goal for the Red Devils. Rooney is United’s all-time top goalscorer. During his 13 years at the club, he scored 253 goals, overtaking Sir Bobby Charlton and…

Despite the fact that he is no longer a Liverpool player, one former Jurgen Klopp favourite could still net the Merseyside outfit a hefty profit should he seal another transfer Liverpool begin their FA Cup defence against Wolves this weekend, setting up a reunion with one of their former prospects.

The Red Devils defender clearly didn’t listen to Erik ten Hag’s advice following Manchester United’s impressive 3-1 victory over Everton in the FA Cup third round Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot defied the wishes of his manager Erik ten Hag by admitting the players are obsessed by the thought of winning a trophy this season. The Red Devils have not lifted silverware of any kind since the 2017 Europa League, which was secured under the reign of Jose Mourinho. For a club of United’s stature, a trophy drought that lasts more than half a decade is far too long but Ten Hag has urged his players to…

Canada’s largest tree, the Cheewhat Giant, grows protected in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve on southern Vancouver Island in the territory of the Ditidaht First Nation. This massive western redcedar measures 182 feet (55 m) tall and 20 feet (6 m) wide. It’s a true wonder to behold. The trail leading to the Cheewhat passes by some other redcedar trees of epic proportions as well. The surrounding old-growth forest is also among the richest and most vibrant I have ever visited. A must-see place for any big tree hunter.

Australian Boulder opals are found in unlikely places, such as cracks, crevices, and cavities. A Reddit user (u/adymma90) came across a piece of petrified wood in Queensland, Australia that was full of the beautiful gem – and we’re not surprised the photo went viral. The inside of the wood contained a beautiful structure of the iridescent turquoise opal. SOURCE:REDDIT – ADDYMMA90 The original post has been upvoted over 90,000 times, in part because very few people had ever seen anything like it. The opal inside this piece of petrified wood is basically the mineral concentration of it. Orals can form…

Typically solitary creatures, octopuses aren’t exactly neighborly when fellow cephalopods encroach on their personal space, even if it means turning just about anything in reach into a weapon. In a recently published study by a team of researchers in Australia, the US, and Canada, observations of wild octopuses casting shells and sand directly at other members of their species have raised questions over whether this unusual behavior is a deliberately antisocial act – or if passers by are accidentally in the line of fire. Scientists first observed octopuses flinging objects at each other in a scene of seemingly heated argy-bargy in 2015…
