Premier League clubs have voted in favor of reintroducing the use of five substitutes per game from the start of the 2022-23 season, the organization said on Thursday.
The substitutions can be made on three occasions during a game, not including halftime, and clubs can name nine substitutes in total on their team sheet, the league said in a statement.
The Abdoulaye-Wade Stadium in Dakar, Senegal, was rocking all day long for the World Cup qualifying playoff between the Lions of Teranga and visiting Egypt on Tuesday. Dozens — maybe hundreds — of laser pointers, light shows before and after each period of play and a passionate, joyful audience cheering on the home side made for one of the best atmospheres of the entire World Cup qualifying campaign, anywhere in the world.
Tardó siete meses, pero al final llegó: Santi Muñoz convirtió su primer gol vistiendo el jersey del Newcastle Sub 23, en la victoria 4-3 sobre el West Bromwich Albion.
El delantero mexicano aterrizó en las Urracas con bastantes expectativas mediáticas, debido a la similitud de su nombre con la del ficticio Santi Muniz de la película "Goal!", quien en busca de la gloria mundial empieza su carrera europea, justamente, en el Newcastle.
Until recently, Roman Abramovich was living the high life. Owner of the world’s best soccer team (Chelsea won the Champions League in May and Club World Cup in February), the Russian oligarch boasted a personal net worth close to $8 billion. That’s all changed in the weeks since Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, with Abramovich’s assets frozen and Chelsea forcibly put up for sale. Now there are reports saying Abramovich was poisoned while representing Russia in peace talks.
Gabriel “Gaga” Slonina is one of the most exciting prospects in Major League Soccer. Less than a year removed from becoming the youngest starting goalkeeper in league history, the 17-year-old Chicago Fire youth product has already garnered interest from Europe’s elite. According to renowned football reporter Fabrizio Romano, a Gabriel Slonina to Chelsea move was in the works before the London club was hit by UK sanctions over Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Jesse Marsch has now recorded two dramatic victories in a row with Leeds United as the club looks to avoid relegation. Marsch’s side coming back from 2-0 down vs. Wolves has earned him a lot of love among Leeds United supporters. The British media is still warming up to Marsch and the Wisconsin native couldn’t help but poke some fun at the journalists who make fun of his accent.
It was one of the longest halves in Jesse Marsch’s career, both literally and figuratively. The new Leeds United coach had to replace three of his starters with first-half injuries and in the 11th minute of added time Wolverhampton scored a second goal that seemingly consigned the American to a third defeat in four matches since taking the job.
Thursday’s game between Everton and Newcastle had a unique disruption when a fan ran onto the field. Pitch invaders aren’t a strange occurrence, but you don’t see invaders tie themselves to the goal post around their neck too often. So, why did the fan tie himself to the goalpost?
Louis McKechnie used a cable to tie his neck around the goalpost and donned a bright orange shirt that read “Just Stop Oil.” It took several minutes and a crew of around 10 people to cut McKechnie loose and drag him away.
Raúl Jiménez tuvo un día de perros ante el Leeds United. El delantero mexicano falló un par de ocasiones de gol de manera clamorosa, recibió su segunda tarjeta roja de la temporada y tras su expulsión los Wolves colapsaron y desperdiciaron el 2-0 que tenían a su favor.
El primer traspié en la cuenta del Lobo fue su falta de finiquito. Si bien acumula seis tantos durante esta campaña, hay consenso de que el jugador no está fino y un intento de tijera a los 13' refleja un poco el nivel de puntería del goleador por estos días.
Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino love playing against Arsenal. In a back-and-forth match between the two teams on Wednesday, it was those two men who once again who scored as the Reds moved to within a point of league-leading Manchester City.
Jota scored with his final touch of the game and Firmino tallied eight minutes later as Liverpool won 2-0 at Emirates Stadium. Jota has seven goals in seven games against Arsenal with Liverpool; Roberto Firmino’s nine league goals against the Gunners are the most of any Reds player.
