Liverpool’s front three missed a slew of chances against Everton as Manchester City consolidate their lead atop the Premier League table.
Jurgen Klopp says he’s felt worse after draws as he reflects on Liverpool’s missed chances and dropped points at rivals Everton.
Jurgen Klopp gets into a lighthearted exchange with an Everton ball boy as he leaves the pitch following Liverpool’s draw at Everton.
LIVERPOOL — They were accentuating the positives at the end of the game, but it felt as though Jurgen Klopp and Jordan Henderson were clutching at straws as the Liverpool manager and captain attempted to find a silver lining from the 0-0 draw against Everton at Goodison Park. The result pushes Liverpool down to second, a point behind leaders Man City with nine games to go.
Henderson insisted that points from successive away games at Manchester United and Everton — both ended goalless — were…
LONDON — Against all the odds, it’s been a pretty positive week for Maurizio Sarri.
Ten days ago he looked on the brink, the sounds of Chelsea fans telling him just what they thought of “Sarriball” ringing in his ears. They were 10 points behind Tottenham and preparing for a thrashing in the Carabao Cup final against Manchester City, who famously beat them 6-0 on Feb. 10. Now they’re five points back from Spurs having beaten them on Wednesday and played pretty well despite losing on penalties…
Arsenal’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang saw his penalty stifled late by Hugo Lloris as the 185th North London derby ends in a 1-1 draw at Wembley.
Harry Kane and Hugo Lloris delve into the crazy finish to the North London derby, where Lloris denied Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the last moments.
LONDON — In recent years, the North London derby has come to be regarded as the Premier League’s most enthralling game: High on energy, high on goals, high on drama. By contrast, Tottenham and Arsenal’s 1-1 draw at Wembley on Saturday — at least until the closing minutes — was more reserved.
Neither side was capable of going full-throttle: Spurs did not press with any intensity and moved the ball slowly through midfield, while Arsenal dropped back and did not offer a consistent counter-attacking…
ESPN FC’s Steve Nicol compares Everton’s poor form at home with Liverpool’s high-powered offence and doesn’t see anything but a Liverpool win on Sunday.
Liverpool face Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday aiming to sustain their Premier League title bid by winning what has become Europe’s most one-sided big-city derby.
Since the start of this decade, no major club has endured such a lengthy wait for victory against their local rivals as Everton, who have not beaten Liverpool in any competition since goals from Tim Cahill and Mikel Arteta secured a 2-0 Premier League win at Goodison in October 2010, a game that was the first since Fenway Sports Group…
Chelsea 2-0 Tottenham: Blues rebound, Spurs stumble
Despite Maurizio Sarri benching Kepa Arrizabalaga after his Carabao Cup antics, Chelsea added to Tottenham’s woes with a comfortable 2-0 win at Stamford Bridge.
Craig Burley believes Maurizio Sarri is starting to figure out that Chelsea are more effective sitting back than taking the game to their opponents.
LONDON — While Stamford Bridge rose in acclaim at full-time, Willy Caballero found himself at the centre off a celebratory huddle. David Luiz, Pedro and Antonio Rudiger took some time to embrace their goalkeeper and so, too, did the members of Chelsea’s coaching staff who greeted him in turn at the mouth of the tunnel.
Caballero had not been called upon to save a single shot all evening against an insipid Tottenham; a resounding derby win outwardly owed little to the 37-year-old yet, at the…
Liverpool rediscovered their goalscoring form and remain top of the Premier League after their big win over Watford at Anfield.
Liverpool rediscovered their goalscoring form and remain top of the Premier League after their big win over Watford at Anfield.
LIVERPOOL. England — There was no hiding Jurgen Klopp’s emotions after Liverpool beat Watford 5-0 at Anfield to put the brakes on their recent title wobble. The German strode out toward The Kop, clenched his fist and celebrated as though the Premier League trophy had just been dressed in red ribbons.
There is plenty of work to be done before that happens. Liverpool remain a point clear of Manchester City at the top of the table after this win — City kept pace with a 1-0 home win against West Ham…
Romelu Lukaku’s double were his first goals for Manchester United in 10 games which paved the way for their 3-1 win over Crystal Palace.
Romelu Lukaku’s double were his first goals for Manchester United in 10 games which paved the way for their 3-1 win over Crystal Palace.
LONDON — After Manchester United defeated Crystal Palace 3-1 on Wednesday night at Selhurst Park, both managers agreed that United had been superior — and yet it was slightly difficult to pinpoint precisely what worked for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.
Up front, Romelu Lukaku scored two goals, but his all-round performance was inconsistent, full of poor touches when trying to link with teammates. There was little combination play in the final third, with Alexis Sanchez again peripheral and…
Manchester United used all of their substitutions in the first half due to injury but were still able to fend off a toothless Liverpool side.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp reflects on his side’s missed chance to defeat an injury-ravaged Manchester United at Old Trafford.
MANCHESTER, England — For the second time in a week, Liverpool drew a massive game 0-0 and they probably don’t know how to feel about it.
In theory they should probably be relatively pleased with stalemates against first Bayern Munich and now Manchester United. But it’s impossible to think of this point as anything other than an enormous missed opportunity against a United side who were forced into all three of their substitutions by the 43rd minute.
Is it possible for a team to win, lose…
