Managers shaking hands has been a hot topic in the Premier League this week after Chelsea’s Thomas Tuchel and Tottenham’s Antonio Conte got into a heated cat fight on Sunday. One week later, a potential Jesse Marsch Tuchel handshake is making headlines after a quote from the American manager.
Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen is dealing with one of the ugliest sides of the beautiful game: social media.
The Danish defender said he has received hundreds of death threats after Palace’s 1-1 draw with Liverpool on Monday. The Andersen death threats came after Liverpool’s star signing Darwin Nuñez was red carded for headbutting him.
Darwin Núñez has been sent off!
The first "big six" meeting of the Premier League season couldn't have been scripted any better Sunday afternoon with Chelsea and Tottenham playing to a riotous 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge in a match that featured two bangers, a 90+6' equalizer, a bench-clearing scuffle and red cards for both managers.
Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte squared off twice, including after full-time when Tuchel took Conte's hand in a vice-like grip and started pecking away at the Italian's hair transplant with the bill of his hat.
Lorenzo Insigne scored the go-ahead goal in the 79th minute and host Toronto FC ended the Portland Timbers' unbeaten run with a 3-1 win on Saturday.
Toronto (8-12-5, 29 points) improved to 3-0-1 in its past four games. Portland (7-7-12, 33 points) had been on a 4-0-6 run since its last defeat back on May 28, against Inter Miami.

Defenders have an old saying: "The ball can pass you or the opponent, but never both at the same time." It's a philosophy, a way of life. And Giorgio Chiellini is one of its highest priests.
Chelsea defeated Everton 1-0 in the Blues' Premier League opener, however a horrifying Ben Godfrey injury early in the first half dampened the mood in Goodison Park.
In the 18th minute of the game Godfrey had to be stretchered off the field, put on oxygen and taken to the hospital after a terrifying injury to his right ankle while trying to make a tackle on Kai Havertz.
Fans are furious at the linesman for not seeing that the ball had clearly gone out of play moments before the injury.
Jordan Pefok has made his presence known with his new club Union Berlin. After scoring a bicycle kick in a DFB-Pokal match a week ago he opened his Bundesliga scoring account on Saturday during Union Berlin’s 3-1 victory in the Berlin derby vs. Hertha.
Pefok opened the scoring in the 31st minute with a nicely placed header at the near post. Last season’s Swiss Super League golden boot winner shows no signs of slowing his lust for goals.
