Exclusive by Alessandro Schiavone at Allianz Arena, Munich Dayot Upamecano has spoken to Capital Football after his Bayern Munich side shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw with Arsenal. Here is what he said. On the match against Arsenal: “We faced a great team. It’s never easy against Arsenal. We tried to press them high up the pitch, but we came up against a great side, and we will continue to push forward.” On Kane: “We all know that Harry Kane plays as a defender, a midfielder

Loftus Road was buzzing on Saturday as Rangers ran riot Richard Kone's star turn had QPR historians thumbing through their record books as the men from W12 came up with a statement win at Loftus Road. The striker scored a hat-trick inside the first 16 minutes to blow away high-riding Swansea City, while Jimmy Dunne added two more to make it a miserable visit for the Welshmen. It is thought to be the quickest hat-trick from the start of a match in EFL history. The goals were K

Sage addresses the issue in the post-match press conference : Picture by Julian Taylor His short tenure has been far from disastrous up to now, but there is little doubt that the heat is on for Pierre Sage after a troubling home defeat to fellow strugglers Newcastle United. Sunday afternoon's 2-0 defeat to the Magpies at Selhurst Park leaves the Eagles one point and one place above the relegation trapdoor and having to mix the demands of chasing Premier League points with kee

Battle of two early-season strugglers Premier League Crystal Palace (0) 0 Newcastle United (0) 2 Osula 47, Barnes 58 We waited patiently for something to happen. And when it did it was not good news for the Eagles. After a first half in which very little happened - Daichi Kamada and Jean-Philippe Mateta both off target with Palace's best chances - the Geordies upped the tempo to seize control. Jacob Murphy turned Jaydee Canvot to send in a beautiful cross that William Osula t

Today felt different from the off as Spurs' front-foot approach asked questions and pinned Chelsea back on their own turf in defiance of those many decades of despair for

ARSENAL eased their way past Everton 2-0 at a soaking wet Emirates Stadium to go level on points with Manchester City. Ezri Konsa scrambled his side ahead after only seven minutes before Gabriel’s header wrapped up victory midway through the second half. Mikel Arteta made a handful of changes from Wednesday’s 2-2 Champions League draw in Munich. There were starts for Ben White, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Mikel Merino, Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres. Bukayo Saka missed out through

The lunchtime game started well enough for the Addicks as they took a deserved early lead, but just as in their last home game against Bristol City, the promising, i

Reporter Alessandro Schiavone has spoken exclusively to England superstar Harry Kane after Arsenal's 2-2 with his Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena Harry, that pass for Alphonso Davies, only you could have seen and picked that! Inch-perfect! “Yeah, one of my best passes for sure. I think it was an important moment in the game being 1-0 down and getting the goal before half-time helped change the game focus. I said to 'Phonsi' before the game playing in that position ‘wheneve

And it’s not difficult to see why, as the 2022 World Cup winner netted a stunner with his left foot on the turn from London-born Ademola Lookman’s pass to earn Los Colchoneros a hard-

This was a match which quickly lost all semblance of being a real contest as Leicester bagged two goals in the opening 16 minutes bef

After a troubling start to the season - very much in keeping with those successive 17th place finishes - Spurs have finally won a game. It's taken them seven games to do it. James Maddison marked his first start in 18 months with the opener and Omar Marmoush grabbed h

The Seagulls blew the Eagles away at the Amex If there is one match Crystal Palace fans really don't want to see their team lose 5-0, it's against those pesky rivals Brighton. But that was the scenario for them just a few days after a Europa League defeat in Lyon (3-2) and just ahead of another tiring foreign trip to Turkey to face Besiktas on Thursday. The Eagles were overrun at the Amex, going 3-0 down inside 10 minutes through an own goal from Jaydee Canvot, a spectacular

Oh mist rolling in from.....Arsenal by the Trent today: Picture by @YTJourno Premier League Nottingham Forest (0) 0 Arsenal (0) 1 Madueke 80 The Gunners just about got over the line at the City Ground with the sort of win champions often have to be content with. Gritty and unremarkable, and perhaps also a little lucky at times, but they took the points. Arsenal struggled to make any impact in a soporific first half almost totally devoid of any serious goalmouth action at eith

They surrendered their proud unbeaten record and finished two players down after a second red

PEDRO Neto grabbed a second half brace to seal a 2-0 victory for Chelsea over Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. Neto put his side in front only 44 seconds after the break and wrapped up the three points on 90 minutes to seal back-to-back wins for Xabi Alonso’s side. A pre-match injury to Pep Chavarria ensured there was one change to the starting XI from last weekend’s 5-1hammering of Bournemouth with Jorrel Hato stepping up as replacement. Teenage midfielder Mahdi Nicoll

And 'Come On' they certainly did A few days on from their London Stadium draw, both QPR and West Ham cut loose in style to underline their respective promotion credentials on Wednesday night. QPR emphatically saw off Derby County at Loftus Road (4-1) to move up to fifth place in the table while the Hammers hit six for the second time this season - taking advantage of Lincoln City having two players sent off by the 23rd minute to run out 6-0 winners at Sincil Bank.

In this current climate of Premier League uncertainty, Arsenal at least know where they stand when it comes to Europe and they seem to revel in the comfort it brings. Here was another trouble-free night for them on their return to the competition on home soil. They were held up by their stubborn French opponents for an hour but ult

Jones left feeling 'disappointed ' Nathan Jones did not hold back in his disappointment with his experienced midfielder Conor Coventry for the penalty he gave away in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Bristol City. The spot kick that resulted from his foul on Dom Ballard allowed City back into a game the Addicks had begun so well and cost them vital momentum, having taken a deserved early lead. "I'm a bit disappointed really, because you know we've worked on a load in the last two wee

Quite how Palace managed to go in at the break 2-1 up was a mystery given a ponderous performance in which they gave the ball away time an

Tottenham Hotspur refused to throw in the towel as Dominic Solanke struck a dramatic stoppage-time leveller to earn 10-man Spurs a 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford.

He was a Red, but now he’s a true Blue. The former Liverpool-skipper stole the show in his first start for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. It took the 36-year old midfielder just under two minutes to find the back of the net with a well–placed strike from the edge of the box, kissing the inside of

Arsenal v Leeds United: pic by @JTaylorSport ARSENAL 2 LEEDS UNITED 1 Plain. Basic. Workmanlike. But still three points for Arsenal. The Premier League champions found a way, if not via their customary verve. It transpires that a lengthy international break can affect focus at serious club level after all. While there was nothing especially life-affirming about this, a feisty Leeds United were eventually undone, despite going in front early in the second half. By that point,
