After unbelievable success in the Scottish Premiership, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is heading back to the Premier League to take over Leicester City.

Tottenham stayed lurking in the Premier League title race with a 3-1 victory over Leicester City on Sunday, but it wasn’t that straightforward. Dávinson Sánchez gave Spurs the lead on 33 minutes, but they wouldn’t improve on that advantage until after the hour mark, and minutes before that, things should have been level.
A foray forward from the Foxes ultimately resulted in James Maddison being barged over by Jan Vertonghen, and Leicester used the resulting stoppage in play to bring on Jamie Vardy for Demarai Gray.
Yesterday, Manchester United traveled to Leicester in the hopes of bouncing back from a shock 2-2 draw against Burnley at Old Trafford. The good news for United is they left King Power Stadium with three points. The bad news: United is trying to shake off a lack of sharpness.
With the Super Bowl chalking up its lowest-scoring game in history, it’s only fitting that Sunday’s European football action was dominated by some equally adept defensive displays (apart from Manchester City’s dominant, 19-shot performance vs. Arsenal).
Welcome to 2019, where we hope every goal is commemorated as perfectly as the Jamie Vardy celebration after his goal against Everton on Tuesday.
Leicester City defeated Everton 1-0 in the first Premier League match of 2019. The lone strike came from Vardy in the 58th minute.
To say Leicester City has had a tough week would be a massive understatement. Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was one of five people to die in a helicopter crash after the Foxes’ 1-1 draw with West Ham on Saturday.
The club’s midweek Carabao Cup match against Southampton was postponed. But the players, coaches and fans had to return to business on Saturday with a trip to Cardiff, Wales, in the Premier League.
Despite thousands of signatures mustered in support, we won’t be seeing a Harry Maguire 50 pound note anytime soon.
I know, very sad.
Last month, with the Bank of England decided it would introduce a new design for the £50 note. Spearheaded by soccer writer Jonny Gabriel, a campaign quickly picked up steam to put a picture of Harry Maguire, shirtless, riding an inflatable unicorn, on the £50 note.
As reported by the Mirror and The Guardian, it’s now understood that Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was one of the passengers on board a helicopter that crashed outside King Power Stadium on Saturday following Leicester’s 1-1 draw with West Ham United.
Did you watch the goal above? He does that more often than most, doesn’t he? With his languid, cerebral, hyper technical, pass-first-shoot-later style, Mesut Ozil scores sublime goals that ooze sensibility and ease but register a 10/10 on the difficulty scale.
As a Newcastle fan, I can instantly remember the times he’s done as much to the Premier League’s current cellar dwellers. Last December, he looped an audacious effort into the roof of the net when the danger seemed to be cleared.
