James Maddison scored his second goal in as many games for Leicester as Claudio Ranieri’s old side earned a share of the points at Craven Cottage.
LONDON — “One game at a time” was one of Claudio Ranieri’s mantras during Leicester’s miracle Premier League title triumph in 2016, and if the early days of his Fulham tenure are anything to go by, it is likely to serve him again at Craven Cottage.
His first game, a knockabout 3-2 win over Southampton, brought him a first victory. He was more encouraged by his side’s display in last weekend’s 2-0 defeat at Chelsea, and there were further positives to be taken from game three, a 1-1 draw against…
The FC crew answer your tweets on where Divock Origi’s goal ranks among the luckiest of all time, Kane vs. Aubameyang and much more.
Steve Nicol raises concerns about Liverpool’s star-powered front three after substitute Divock Origi came on to score the winner against Everton.
Following a Premier League weekend that featured two derby matches for the ages, Tom Williams runs the rule over the weekend’s biggest storylines.
Moment of the weekend
Anfield. Merseyside derby. Ninety-five minutes on the clock and the score 0-0. Liverpool attacking the Kop end. Trent Alexander-Arnold hoists a hopeful ball into the Everton box and it’s headed clear. Virgil van Dijk horribly slices his attempt at a volley, sending the ball looping harmlessly towards Jordan Pickford’s goal.
But what’s…
Craig Burley breaks down Manchester City’s 3-1 win over Manchester United, which he says demonstrates the gap in quality between the two rivals.
Craig Burley reveals his biggest takeaways from week 12 in the Premier League, including Liverpool’s quest to keep up with leaders Man City.
After a weekend when the match officials unwittingly made themselves the centre of attention, Tom Williams picks over the Premier League’s major talking points.
Colour of the weekend
Blue beat red in the Manchester derby, but if there was a colour that summed up Manchester City’s 3-1 win over Manchester United, it was silver.
Two Silvas combined for City’s 12th-minute opener — Bernardo crossing for David to score from close range — before Sergio Aguero, sporting a new silver dye job, rifled…
England and Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford made it two goals in two consecutive games, providing England’s winner against Switzerland.
As Marcus Rashford keeps scoring for England, the FC crew discuss whether he should leave Man United in search of minutes in a central position.
England goalkeeper Jack Butland pledged to keep playing the ball out from the back despite some hairy moments during his side’s 1-0 friendly win over Switzerland in Leicester.
Butland, who was deputising for usual No. 1 Jordan Pickford, was culpable for two errors that almost proved costly early in the first half at the King Power Stadium.
The Stoke goalkeeper nearly swept the ball into his own net as he tried to pick out a teammate stationed close to the byline on the England left and then played…
England and Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford made it two goals in two consecutive games, providing England’s winner against Switzerland.
LEICESTER, England — Three quick thoughts from England’s 1-0 friendly win over Switzerland at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday.
1. Rashford shows worth to patchy England
Marcus Rashford went into the international break under a cloud, after being red-carded for rashly lowering his head into Phil Bardsley’s face during Manchester United’s 2-0 win at Burnley, but he emerges from it as one of the few players to have scored points — and the only one to have scored any goals — for England.

Goals from Schlupp and Zaha meant Roy Hodgson’s men kicked off the season with a win against Premier League returners Fulham.
LONDON — It was roughly 90 minutes before kickoff when the Fulham team bus alighted on Stevenage Road and Premier League footballers ambled into Craven Cottage for the first top-flight fixture in these parts for over four years.
Home fans were there in number to greet them, white replica shirts on their backs, broad new-season grins on their faces, the warm August sunshine gently beating down on their heads. The names and numbers melded pride in last’s season swashbuckling promotion charge — MITROVIC…
From the good (Juninho, Edwin van der Sar, Bryan Roy) to the very, very bad (Corrado Grabbi), the Premier League has seen it all when it comes to the transfer activities of promoted clubs.
On the eve of the 2018-19 campaign, here’s how the three latest additions to the division fared in the summer transfer window.
