Jurgen Klopp felt Sadio Mane's disallowed goal in the 1-1 draw at Arsenal should have stood but insisted his Liverpool players made more errors than the officials. Alexandre Lacazette's excellent 82nd-minute finish gave the Gunners a share of the spoils in a pulsating encounter after James Milner capitalised on a Bernd Leno error to open the scoring with an hour played. But the main talking point occurred early in the first half, when Mane prodded into an unguarded net after Roberto Firmino's effort came back off the post. Читать дальше...

Thomas Muller's wife ridiculed under-fire Bayern Munich coach Niko Kovac for benching the Germany international and only introducing him with 20 minutes left of the 1-1 draw against Freiburg. Bayern are four points behind Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund after Saturday's disappointing result, having conceded an 89th-minute equaliser. Serge Gnabry found the bottom-right corner 10 minutes from time and had seemingly wrapped things up for Bayern, only for Lucas Holer to level at the end. Muller's... Читать дальше...

Everton captain Seamus Coleman conceded he goes "a little bit mad" with his goal celebrations after he scored in the Toffees' 3-1 win over Brighton and Hove Albion. Coleman put in an impressive display in Saturday's contest at Goodison Park, and capped off his performance with a well-taken goal five minutes into the second half – his first for Everton since January 2017. The strike put Everton back in front after Lewis Dunk had cancelled out Richarlison's opener, with the Brazil forward making sure of the points late on. Читать дальше...

Rafael Benitez is convinced Newcastle United's 10-match winless run to start the season was harsh on the team after they finally got a first triumph over Watford on Saturday. Newcastle claimed just three points from their first 10 Premier League games and had been looking destined for a long and arduous campaign. But they put in a dogged display at St James' Park despite seeing three players go off injured – Ayoze Perez getting the winner having been jeered by supporters last time out. Benitez...

Santiago Solari will reserve excitement over Vinicius Junior despite accepting expectations will soar following his game-changing cameo in Real Madrid's win over Real Valladolid. Madrid were set for a dispiriting home draw before the teenager broke the deadlock with an 83rd-minute drive that took a heavy deflection off Kiko Olivas. The Valladolid defender was credited with an own goal but, having only stepped off the bench 10 minutes earlier, Vinicius won the plaudits for setting the eventual 2-0 victory in motion.

Karl-Heinz Rummenigge suggested Bayern Munich could take legal action after a report in Der Spiegel alleged he and the club attempted to lead some of Europe's biggest clubs into a breakaway 'Super League'.

Der Spiegel reported that Bayern and Rummenigge were major players in attempting to formulate the new competition... Читать дальше...

Sergio Ramos insisted any prospective Real Madrid coach would have the players' full support following Santiago Solari's winning start in LaLiga. Madrid fortuitously escaped with a 2-0 home victory over Real Valladolid courtesy of two goals in the final 10 minutes of a match they could well have lost.

Leicester City manager Claude Puel has praised his side's "dedication and concentration" after an emotional 1-0 win over Cardiff City in their first game since the death of owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

Kasper Schmeichel dedicated Leicester City's 1-0 Premier League win over Cardiff City on Saturday to the family of late owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.

Bayern Munich's four-game winning run was halted by Freiburg on Saturday, but an unwanted streak continued for goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. Lucas Holer's 89th-minute equaliser at the Allianz Arena earned Freiburg a 1-1 draw and means Neuer has now conceded eight goals from the last eight shots on target he has faced in the Bundesliga. The Germany international goalkeeper was not helped by centre-back duo Niklas Sule and Jerome Boateng, who switched off and allowed Holer to get between them and cancel out Serge Gnabry's opener.

United face the Serie A champions... Читать дальше...

Diego Simeone defended his decision to start winger Gelson Martins in a central role ahead of natural striker Nikola Kalinic in Atletico Madrid's unimpressive 1-1 draw at Leganes. With Diego Costa missing due to a muscular injury, Simeone sprung something of a surprise by opting to play Gelson – a pre-season arrival from Sporting CP – through the middle alongside Antoine Griezmann. That left Kalinic – who started against Sant Andreu in the Copa del Rey on Tuesday – on the bench and he was only... Читать дальше...

Jose Mourinho said Manchester United's continual slow starts are whitening his hair after Marcus Rashford scored a late winner at Bournemouth. Rashford netted in the 92nd minute at the Vitality Stadium to earn United's first away Premier League victory in three attempts, moving them within two points of the Champions League qualification places.

Ander Herrera was delighted with Manchester United's second-half performance in Saturday's 2-1 win at Bournemouth but conceded Jose Mourinho's men are making life difficult for themselves.

Barcelona legend Xavi believes that Neymar has more chance of reaching the levels of Lionel Messi than Paris Saint-Germain prodigy Kylian Mbappe. Mbappe is the leading scorer in Europe's top five leagues, with 11 goals from eight Ligue 1 appearances so far this term. The 19-year-old has enjoyed a stellar 2018, having excelled in his maiden season at PSG before going on to win the World Cup with France.

Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival at Juventus has undoubtedly boosted their chances of winning the Champions League, according to compatriot Luis Figo. Juve have not tasted success in Europe's elite club competition success since beating Ajax in the 1996 final on penalties, but have reached two of the last four finals.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp believes the Premier League title race is shaping up as the most exciting in years, but maintained his side must be consistent. A win on Saturday away to Arsenal would make for Liverpool's best-ever start to a domestic season after 11 rounds.

For that reason, Klopp believes Liverpool must not have a singular focus on the reigning champions. "We play City twice," he said. Читать дальше...
