Bournemouth were denied a dramatic winner against Newcastle United as Dango Ouattara s stoppage-time goal was overturned following a VAR review in Sunday s 1-1 draw.

The Cherries would have been deserving victors at the Vitality Stadium having controlled their first Premier League home game of the season both before and after Marcus Tavernier s first-half opener.

But Anthony Gordon equalised with 14 minutes to play, setting the stage for a chaotic finale in which both sides came close to claiming all three points.

It looked as though substitute Ouattara would have the decisive say, only for his effort to be ruled out for striking his arm.

Former Bournemouth boss Eddie Howe is still yet to beat his old side in the Premier League but would have been relieve…

Market: Wolves win

Odds: 21/20 @

Looking to extend on their recent Premier League flurry on Saturday afternoon, Wolves will travel to Bramall Lane when they meet Sheffield United.

Starting with the hosts, while Sheffield United might have breezed their way to a Premier League return last season, the Blades find themselves in the midst of a public top-flight nightmare. Sat rock-bottom of the table and with a huge amount of pressure on Paul Heckingbottom’s shoulders, they have collected just a single point from any of their first 10 Premier League appearances. Breaking a string of unwanted records by the week and already tipped as a leading relegation contender, Sheffield United have only continued to show a string of issues on either side of October’s interna…

Jim Curtin has promised supporters they will see the Philadelphia Union of old in Saturday s showdown with Sporting Kansas City at Subaru Park.

The Union finished top of the Eastern Conference last season en route to losing the MLS Cup final to Los Angeles FC, but they have made a sluggish start to the 2023 campaign.

Philly have lost three of their opening five matches, including back-to-back defeats against a struggling CF Montreal side and Orlando City in their past two outings.

But with winless Sporting up next this weekend, Curtin is hoping to see a response from his players.

I think the group will have a good response against Kansas City, Curtin said ahead of Union s first home match against Sporting since the MLS is Back quarter-finals in 2020.

Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone said he would rather have a Europa League trophy than a Champions League final loss on his resume.

Simeone s Atletico host Portuguese visitors Sporting CP in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final on Thursday.

Atletico dropped down to the Europa League after failing to progress beyond the Champions League group stage this season.

Ipswich Town earned their first point of the Premier League season but were denied victory by Adama Traore s leveller in a 1-1 draw with Fulham at Portman Road.

The Tractor Boys’ search for a first top-flight victory since April 2002 started in stunning fashion as Liam Delap rifled the ball home after good work from Leif Davis.

However, Fulham would respond in the 32nd minute as Traore rounded off a free-flowing move to level the encounter.

Both sides traded blows in search of an important three points at this early stage of the season, with Chiedozie Ogbene and Raul Jimenez seeing their efforts repelled in a seesaw second half.

With neither team able to find a winner, Ipswich sit 16th in the early-season standings, while Fulham are just outside the top…

Erik ten Hag hopes the return of key players in the coming weeks can help Manchester United deliver consistency after Tuesday’s stunning come-from-behind 3-2 win over Aston Villa promised to kick-start a new era at Old Trafford.

All the familiar problems that had seen Ten Hag’s side go four games without a win or a goal were on show in a poor first half as Villa were too easily able to score twice in the space of six minutes through John McGinn’s unchallenged free-kick and an unmarked Leander Dendoncker.

But United rallied in the second half with Alejandro Garnacho scoring twice before Rasmus Hojlund’s long-awaited first Premier League goal delivered a victory which, for all their problems, lifted United up to sixth two days after news of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s fo…

We hear these reports all the time,  Mintzlaff said on Saturday. Someone makes something up, and everyone else copies it. Werner is happy here and wants to play the rest of the season.  

Those are the words of RB Leipzig chief executive Oliver Mintzlaff who has confirmed that forward Timo Werner is happy at the club in the midst of great speculation over the forward s future. The popular striker has been consistently linked with a move away from the Bundesliga, with many believing he ll make the jump over to Liverpool during the upcoming summer transfer window.

Werner s growing success over in Germany has caused many to believe that he could soon become one of the best goalscorers in world football but in order to do so, he may need to entertain the idea of heading …

Manchester City came from behind to win 3-1 at home to Leicester City in a vital victory for their slim Premier League title hopes.

Leicester took the lead at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday through Jamie Vardy s 17th Premier League goal of the season.

But champions City showed grit and determination despite Leicester s threat on the counter-attack and Riyad Mahrez equalised against his old club with a deflected drive.

Raheem Sterling won a penalty that Ilkay Gundogan converted and Gabriel Jesus struck after the break to move City within a point of their second-placed visitors, who remain 10 behind leaders Liverpool.

Kevin De Bruyne was outstanding against Arsenal last time out and his low 20-yard drive rattled the outside of the post with Kasper Schmeich…

Cardiff have appointed former Fenerbahce coach Erol Bulut as their new manager.

The 48-year-old takes over from Sabri Lamouchi, who left the Championship club after his short-term deal expired at the end of 2022-23 season, and will be presented to the media on Monday.

German-born Bulut, a former Turkey Under-21 international who played for the likes of Eintracht Frankfurt, Fenerbahce and Olympiacos, coached Fener between 2020 and 2021 before taking charge of Gaziantep, who he left in January.

Cardiff owner Vincent Tan said: “This summer allowed us to consider applicants for the manager’s position from across Europe and, having taken our time with the process, I’m extremely confident that we have chosen the best candidate to take us forward.

Clashes between teams managed by Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola have affected many a title race over the years, but pride might take precedence over Premier League points during Sunday s meeting between Tottenham and Manchester City.

Mourinho has lost more games in all competitions against teams coached by Guardiola than against any other manager, and he will be desperate to send City packing after Tottenham ended a torrid run of Premier League results with a 2-1 win over Norwich City.

But Spurs were far from convincing against the Canaries, Son Heung-min s 79th-minute winner sparing them the ignominy of a fifth consecutive winless league outing after a lacklustre performance at home to the division s bottom club.

City arrive at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in b…
