Christian Eriksen made his first professional appearance on Saturday for Brentford eight months after collapsing from a cardiac arrest during the Euros. In the 52nd minute of Brentford’s game against Newcastle the entire crowd inside Brentford Community Stadium stood on its feet to welcome Eriksen back to the field.
A month ago, Manchester City's trip to Everton on Saturday looked like a game which would just be one more step on Pep Guardiola's side's inevitable march to the Premier League title.
But a series of results in recent weeks makes the game not only a vital one for City, whose lead over Liverpool has been cut to just three points, but also has left Everton in desperate need of points in their battle for top flight survival.
Con Héctor Herrera jugando los 90 minutos, Atlético de Madrid acabó con un amargo 1-1 ante Manchester United en Champions League.
Luego de un gran partido ante Osasuna, el fin de semana pasado, Diego Simeone volvió a darle un lugar como titular a HH. Y el mexicano no decepcionó. Fiero en el mediocampo y hasta con una incidental participación en el gol colchonero, el mediocampista tuvo un gran desempeño. Sin embargo, cuando el partido se iba y sin merecerlo mucho, el equipo inglés logró la igualdad.
Manchester United fans closely following this current campaign are well aware of young Anthony Elanga. The rest of Europe is now taking notice after the teenager salvaged a 1-1 draw against Atlético Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 on Wednesday.
United struggled for long portions of the match at the Wanda Metropolitano; Cristiano Ronaldo often had to drop deep into his own half just to get a touch of the ball. After an early goal from João Félix, it looked like a classic Diego Simeone victory over a British side.
Enter Anthony Elanga.
Portsmouth's seven-year stay in the Premier League in the 2000s was marked by frequent relegation run-ins and one glorious 07-08 season that included an eighth-place finish in the Premier League and a victory in the FA Cup final.
These days, Pompey toils in the top quadrant of League One, with promotion to the EFL Championship almost as elusive as a return to the top flight.
Christian Pulisic and Chelsea earned a 2-0 victory vs. Lille on Tuesday in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 clash. Pulisic put on a show for the London club with his best performance of the season by far.
The USMNT star was given the start in his favored left wing position and made the most of it. It could be my American bias, but I got tingles every time he was on the ball. Pulisic’s darting runs and movement on the ball continuously left Lille players on the ground in his wake.
El minutaje de Héctor Herrera en el Atlético de Madrid no ha sido muy alto esta temporada. HH apenas acumula 563 minutos a través de todas las competencias y su futuro como colchonero es una incógnita.

Harry Kane was at his magnificent, glorious best on Saturday as he scored a brace to hand Manchester City its first Premier League loss since Oct. 2021. There aren’t enough adjectives in the dictionary to describe how entertaining Tottenham’s victory at Etihad Stadium was.
In the span of three minutes Manchester City’s players went from thinking they had scored a game-tying penalty kick in the 92nd minute to picking the ball out of their own net after Kane did what he does best.
LIVERPOOL — Liverpool had to dig deep for a 3-1 victory against lowly Norwich City with goals by Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz securing the points after the visitors had threatened to pull off a massive shock at Anfield on Saturday.
