London, Aug 28 (Ians) Manchester City narrowly escaped defeat, overcoming Sheffield United 2-1 to clinch the top spot in the Premier League.
Erling Haaland put the reigning champions ahead in the 63rd minute with a robust header, making up for his earlier penalty miss against the post, reports Xinhua.
With Pep Guardiola recuperating from a back surgery in Barcelona, deputy Juanma Lillo took the helm in the City dugout. Still, the team’s strategy remained unchanged. By the time Haaland scored, City had launched 16 shots and earned 10 corners, while Sheffield United had none.
At 85 minutes, Sheffield United’s Jaydon Bogle leveled the score with a forceful shot from City’s right flank, making it 1-1.
However, in the 89th minute, Rodri secured City’s win with a decisive left-footed strike.
In other matches, Liverpool, despite being a man down after Virgil Van Dijk’s red card, clinched a thrilling 2-1 victory against Newcastle.

London, May 29 (Ians) The English top flight witnessed Leeds United and Leicester City relegated from the Premier League to the Championship, marking a dramatic conclusion to the season.
Everton, always seen as the most likely among the three to avoid relegation, secured their Premier League status courtesy of Abdoulaye Doucoure’s spectacular 57th-minute goal. The strike ensured a 1-0 home win over Bournemouth and helped Everton avert their first relegation in nearly 70 years, reports Xinhua.
Leicester City, the miracle Premier League champions of 2016, are now Championship-bound, despite a 2-1 home win against West Ham United. Had Everton failed to secure a victory, Leicester City would have been safe.
Harvey Barnes and Wout Faes put Leicester 2-0 up against a rival seemingly preoccupied with their upcoming Europa Conference League final against Fiorentina. Although Pablo Fornals managed to score for West Ham in the 79th minute, Leicester clung on for a win that ultimately proved in vain.

Brentford, Jan 2 (Ians) Darwin Nunez has blistering pace, tremendous industry and the ability to stretch any defence he faces, but there is scope for technical improvement in the Liverpool striker’s game ahead of facing Brentford.
The Uruguayan has scored five Premier League goals from nine starts in his debut Premier League season, at a rate of one every 156.8 minutes, reports premierleague.com.
As a standalone stat this is a decent return, but Nunez will know that his goal tally should have been considerably higher by the turn of the year. Liverpool have not had any difficulty creating quality opportunities for their summer signing.
Tirelessly working hard to evade his markers, Nunez gets on the end of more big chances per 90 minutes than anyone else who has scored at least five times. Even the division’s top scorer, Manchester City’s Erling Haaland (1.91), does not have as many clear-cut chances as Nunez.

London, Oct 24 (Ians) Arsenal’s lead at the top of the Premier League was reduced to two points when they were held to a 1-1 draw away to Southampton.
Arsenal got off to a confident start that was rewarded when Granit Xhaka put them ahead with a low finish on Sunday evening, but after suffering in the first half, Southampton recovered after the break.
Stuart Armstrong equalised after a flowing move after 65 minutes, and although Martin Odegaard thought he had scored a late winner for the visitors, the ball had previously gone out of play, reports Xinhua.
Newcastle United claimed a 2-1 win away to Tottenham to climb up to fourth in the table.
Callum Wilson opened the scoring in the 31st minute after a Var check confirmed he hadn’t fouled Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris. Miguel Almiron doubled the lead 10 minutes later after beating Lloris at his near post.

London, Aug 24 (Ians) Leicester City have rejected a third bid for defender Wesley Fofana from Chelsea, the club confirmed in a statement on Wednesday.
“The club has invested in him and in his time here he’s been absolutely brilliant, but you have to set a standard of behavior and if it’s not quite right and your focus isn’t right, that only hurts your teammate,” Leicester City coach Brendan Rodgers said.
Rodgers confirmed that the 21-year-old, who missed training last week, will now train with the club’s development squad after asking to be allowed to move.
Rodgers had previously left the defender out of the squad for the weekend defeat to Southampton, saying he was “not quite in the right frame of mind.”
Chelsea has now made four offers for the player, who joined Leicester from St Etienne in 2020.
Fofana impressed in his first campaign at the club,...
