MS Dhoni was criticised by fans on social media after Chennai Super Kings (CSK) squandered a golden DRS opportunity against Mumbai Indians (MI) in their IPL 2025 clash.

LEICESTER: Leicester City were relegated from the Premier League as Liverpool moved to within one win of the title on Sunday with a 1-0 victory at the King Power. Trent Alexander-Arnold came off the bench to score the only goal 14 minutes from time as the Reds moved to the brink of a record-equalling 20th English top-flight title.

The England international is reportedly close to joining Real Madrid when his contract expires at the end of the season. Unlike Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, who have signed new deals in recent weeks to prolong their stay at Anfield, Alexander-Arnold has just weeks to run on his current deal. “I’ve said all season, I’m not going to speak on my situation,” Alexander-Arnold told Sky Sports. “But these days like today are always special. “Scoring goals, playing, winning games, being close to winning titles as well as being in title races.
