Germany stormed into next year’s World Cup with a dominant 6-0 win over Slovakia, securing top spot in their group and sending their opponents into the playoffs. Four first-half goals — from Nick Woltemade, Serge Gnabry and a Leroy Sané double — put the result beyond doubt before Ridle Baku and 19-year-old debutant Assan Ouédraogo added late goals. The Netherlands also booked their place at the finals with a comfortable 4-0 victory over Lithuania, finishing three points ahead of Poland in Group G. Goals from Tijjani Reijnders, Cody Gakpo, Xavi Simons and Donyell Malen sealed the win. Poland kept their…
Denmark’s preparations for Tuesday’s decisive World Cup qualifier against Scotland have been disrupted by a sickness bug affecting players and staff. Head coach Brian Riemer confirmed that Joachim Andersen and Rasmus Højlund both missed the team’s surprising 1-1 draw with Belarus due to illness, along with a staff member. With Denmark needing only a draw at Hampden Park to qualify automatically, the timing is far from ideal. “Of course it’s a worry,” Riemer said, though he added that team doctors are working to prevent further spread and that the hope is to have “24 men fit for a fight” on…
Manchester City delivered a dominant performance at the Etihad, sweeping Manchester United aside 3–0 to strengthen their position at the top of the Women’s Super League. Goals from Rebecca Knaak, Bunny Shaw and Lauren Hemp sealed a statement win for Andrée Jeglertz’s in-form City side. United, meanwhile, suffered back-to-back league defeats for the first time since 2024, looking physically worn after their historic Champions League victory over PSG earlier in the week. Manager Marc Skinner admitted his team “gave City those goals” and emphasised the need for reinforcements in January. City were sharp from the start, their attacking movement repeatedly…
Celtic are advancing negotiations with Wilfried Nancy as they move closer to appointing the Columbus Crew manager as Brendan Rodgers’ successor. The Scottish champions informed the MLS club of their plans on Friday, with compensation not expected to be an issue. Nancy is reportedly keen on the move, and Celtic aim to have him in charge before next weekend’s clash with St Mirren, ending Martin O’Neill’s brief caretaker spell. Nancy, who guided Columbus Crew to seventh in the MLS Eastern Conference this season, fits Celtic’s desired profile of an emerging, progressive coach willing to work within the club’s transfer structure.…
Patrick Bamford has joined Sheffield United, just seven months after leading derogatory chants about current Blades manager Chris Wilder during Leeds United’s promotion celebrations. The 32-year-old striker, a free agent since leaving Leeds in August, has signed a short-term deal with the Championship club until January. Despite past tensions between the pair, Wilder has welcomed the move as United look to solve their goal-scoring woes. Bamford and Wilder’s feud dates back to 2018–19, when Wilder called him “a muppet” during a promotion battle. However, following the viral chant incident in April, Bamford and Leeds boss Daniel Farke both phoned Wilder…
Barcelona have identified Harry Kane as their top target to replace Robert Lewandowski next summer, viewing the 32-year-old England captain as the perfect long-term successor to the 37-year-old striker. Lewandowski’s contract expires in June, and Barcelona are reportedly willing to trigger a £57m release clause in Kane’s deal with Bayern Munich to bring him to Camp Nou. Since joining Bayern from Tottenham in 2023 for £100m, Kane has scored 108 goals in 113 games, helping the club reclaim the Bundesliga title and ending his personal trophy drought. Although Kane has expressed openness to staying at Bayern until his contract ends…
The Premier League has approved fixture changes for Arsenal and Crystal Palace ahead of their Carabao Cup quarter-final meeting on Tuesday, 23 December at the Emirates Stadium. Originally set to play on Sunday, 21 December, Arsenal’s trip to Everton and Palace’s match at Leeds will now take place at 8pm on Saturday, 20 December, to allow both sides more recovery time. Palace, who face KuPS in the Europa Conference League on 18 December, requested the change to avoid playing three times in five days. A Premier League spokesperson said: “Player welfare is a priority… this adjustment ensures adequate recovery time…
Manchester City produced a dominant display to beat Liverpool 3-0 and close the gap on leaders Arsenal to four points, ending Liverpool’s faint title hopes. After Erling Haaland missed a controversial early penalty, he made amends by heading in his 19th goal of the season. A deflected strike from Nico González made it 2-0 before halftime, and Jérémy Doku sealed the win with a brilliant curling effort after tormenting Liverpool’s defence all game. Liverpool had a Virgil van Dijk goal ruled out for offside, but City’s control and intensity left them with few complaints. The win marked Pep Guardiola’s 1,000th…
Harry Kane struck a stoppage-time equaliser as Bayern Munich drew 2-2 at Union Berlin, preserving their unbeaten start but ending a 16-game winning streak. Danilho Doekhi twice put Union ahead, including in the 83rd minute, before Kane’s 13th Bundesliga goal rescued a point. Bayern stay top on 28 points, six clear after RB Leipzig’s 3-1 loss at Hoffenheim. Elsewhere, Borussia Dortmund conceded a 97th-minute equaliser in a 1-1 draw at Hamburg. In Serie A, Milan surrendered a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 at Parma, missing the chance to overtake Napoli. Juventus were held 0-0 by Torino, while in La Liga,…
Ruben Amorim criticised his Manchester United side for becoming complacent after they surrendered control in a 3-3 draw at Tottenham, despite leading for much of the game. United looked set for victory after Bryan Mbeumo’s opener, only to collapse under second-half pressure as Mathys Tel and Richarlison turned the game around. A 96th-minute header from Matthijs de Ligt rescued a point, extending United’s unbeaten run to five matches — but Amorim was far from satisfied. “We have a lot of problems — we are just at the beginning,” Amorim said. “We were comfortable in the game, but we should do…
