Tottenham ace Harry Winks has hailed goalkeeper Hugo Lloris as ‘one of the best’ despite his latest blunder almost costing ten-man Spurs in their slim victory over Southampton on Saturday. The Frenchman sparked memories of his howler in the World Cup final against Croatia as he allowed Danny Ings to fire the Saints level at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. With Spurs leading from Tanguy Ndombele’s strike but down to ten men, Lloris attempted an unnecessary Cruyff turn on his goal-line. But he embarrassingly left the ball behind, presenting Ings with the simplest of tasks to tap the ball in and make it 1-1. It’s not the first time Lloris has been…

Kieran Tierney could make his Premier League debut when Arsenal face Manchester United at Old Trafford on Monday night. However, the Gunners are unlikely to be without fellow full-back Hector Bellerin for the clash. The two defenders made their long-awaited return from injury in their Carabao Cup triumph over Nottingham Forest. But Bellerin, 24, could miss Arsenal’s next game as he played in their Under-23 clash against Liverpool – the game finishing 2-2. Unai Emery has suggested Ainsley Maitland-Niles will start ahead of the Spaniard. Bellerin sustained a knee ligament injury in a 2-0 win over Chelsea in January. He came on on in the 77th minute for Tierney against…

Frank Lampard has confirmed that Jorginho is the club’s penalty taker after the midfielder scored from the spot in Chelsea’s 2-0 win over Brighton. There has been some confusion over who takes the penalties at the club with Lampard previously saying Ross Barkley was their man before he missed against Valencia. Pedro then stepped up and took the spot kick against Grimsby in the Carabao Cup, which he scored, despite Barkley being on the pitch. And both Barkley and Pedro were on the field when Mason Mount was brought down in the second half at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, but neither of them took that penalty. Jorginho stepped up and…

Andy Cole hopes Manchester United will not be putting too much pressure on Mason Greenwood. The 17-year-old forward has impressed for the Red Devils this season and has scored his first two senior goals in their wins over Astana in the Europa League and Rochadale in the Carabao Cup. Greenwood is getting more exposure than he would perhaps have expected as Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez left for Inter Milan and Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial have been struggling with injuries. Former United striker Cole, who won five Premier League titles and the Champions League with the club, thinks Greenwood may have been used too soon. “He’s got a chance,…

Jurgen Klopp heaped huge praise on Sheffield United following Liverpool’s narrow win at Bramall Lane. The Reds won 1-0, with Georginio Wijnaldum’s second-half strike the difference between the two sides. Wijnaldum’s winner came in rather fortunate fashion though – the Dutchman’s tame volley squirming under the usually very dependable Dean Henderson. Liverpool were guilty of not being very clinical, with Sadio Mane wasting two golden chances in the first-half, while Mo Salah should have scored shortly after Wijnaldum’s goal. However, the Premier League leaders got the result they were looking for and continue their perfect start – winning seven out of seven league games. This is only the second time…

The Brumbies are in danger of losing halfback Tomas Cubelli for 2017, with the Pumas starter injured in a 53-17 trial loss to the Waratahs. Cubelli is a player they could ill afford to lose, one of the few experienced heads in the Brumbies’ new-look backline and a lynchpin of their side in 2016. The 27-year-old came off in the 39th minute and will be sent for scans this week on a possible ACL injury and dislocated kneecap, a combination that puts him in doubt for the entire 2017 season. It took some time for the game to get off the ground, with both sides shaking off some preseason rust. Acting NSW…

Click:florist wholesale One Belgium international completed a move from Chelsea to the Santiago Bernabeu and rumours of another doing likewise in 2019 continue to rage Thibaut Courtois said he would relish the chance to play with former Chelsea team-mate and current Belgium colleague Eden Hazard at Real Madrid. Hazard has been persistently linked with a move to Madrid and, with his contract set to expire in June 2020 and Chelsea struggling for a top-four finish this season, he could be an attractive target for the LaLiga club at the end of this campaign. Courtois spent four years playing alongside Hazard at Stamford Bridge, winning the Premier League in 2015 and 2017,…

Set to begin his 21st year as the league’s chief executive, the 61-year-old is set for a longer stay at the helm Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber has signed a new contract which will keep him in the position until at least 2023, the league announced Thursday. The MLS Board of Governors approved the new five-year contract, though financial details of the deal were not disclosed. The 61-year-old Garber’s contract with the league had been set to expire at the end of 2018. Garber, who also sits on U.S. Soccer’s board of directors, has overseen MLS for 20 years, taking over the role in 1999 from Doug Logan as…

Bill Meakes is still fresh to Super Rugby but he has some extra insight into his opposite number on Friday night, a man he describes as the ‘rounded package’. Meakes is set to go head-to-head with former Force inside centre Kyle Godwin, with the pair overlapping after Meakes’ arrival in Perth last year. “I got to know Kyle a little bit in the back end when I got here,” he said. “He’s a great guy and a fantastic player as well. “He obviously had a great back end of the year last year, being involved in the Spring Tour and the Wallabies and I think he’s going to be another…

The sight of Israel Folau leaping for a mark  in June lit up Allianz Stadium, but whether he has the chance to replicate in a sky blue jersey remains to be seen. Folau’s aerial skills have long been a trademark of his, but it’s been few and far between since his switch for rugby. Bernard Foley pulled off a  cross-field kick to great effect for the Wallabies in Sydney, with a Folau making a spectacular finish against Scotland. Click Here: cheap INTERNATIONAL jersey While he stopped short of declaring they’d be employing the cross-field tactic more often, Folau said he and Foley would be working on adding to their skills…
