IPSWICH, England: Ipswich Town returned to the Premier League at the first time of asking as a 3-0 victory over Queen’s Park Rangers on the final day of the regular Championship season on Saturday ensured they took the second automatic promotion slot. Needing a victory to make absolutely certain of finishing as runners-up to Coventry City, early goals by George Hirst and Jaden Philogene settled any nerves at Portman Road.
LONDON: Arsenal returned to the top of the Premier League as Eberechi Eze’s thunderbolt sealed a tense 1-0 win against Newcastle on Saturday. For the first time since October, Arsenal had started a league game out of pole position after Manchester City’s 1-0 win at Burnley on Wednesday sent them to the summit. But Eze lifted the Gunners back into first place with his sublime strike in the first half at the Emirates Stadium. Eze’s 10th goal this season opened up a three-point lead over second-placed City, who were booking their place in the FA Cup final with a 2-1 win against Southampton while Arsenal were in league action. It was an essential victory for Arsenal, whose 2-1 defeat at City last weekend was a huge blow to their title hopes. After losing just three of their first 49 matches in all competitions this season, Arsenal had been beaten in four of the previous six, suffering successive league defeats for the first time since 2023. Having blown substantial leads in the title race in 2023 and 2024, allowing City to pip them in the trophy, the north Londoners’ recent slump has left them in danger of squandering another golden opportunity to win their first English crown since 2004. City have a game in hand on Arsenal, keeping the destiny of the title in their hands. However, they don’t play their next league game until May 4 when they visit Everton, giving Arsenal the chance to move six points clear when they host Fulham next weekend. Before that, Arsenal visit Atletico Madrid in the Champions League semifinal first leg on Wednesday. City’s win against Burnley had ended Arsenal’s 209-day run as leaders due their superior goals scored tally. While Arsenal are back on top with a one-goal better goal difference than
LONDON: West Ham scored a late winner on Saturday to stay two points clear of Tottenham in the battle to avoid Premier League relegation on a day of breathless drama. Spurs looked set to escape the bottom three with just minutes remaining after they took the lead against Wolves and West Ham conceded an equalizer against Everton. But substitute Callum Wilson scored a winner in the 92nd minute at the London Stadium to restore West Ham’s two-point cushion, with just four games to go. Roberto De Zerbi’s Tottenham traveled to already-relegated Wolves without a Premier League win since December but were blunt in attack. But Joao Palhinha’s late goal secured a 1-0 win and traveling Spurs fans celebrated wildly when they learned that Everton had levelled in the 88th minute. At that stage Spurs were out of the bottom three. But West Ham were not finished, with Wilson adding a remarkable postscript. Wolves and Burnley are already down but the race to avoid the final relegation spot has effectively become a two-horse race between Tottenham and West Ham. Nottingham Forest hammered Sunderland 5-0 on Friday to pull well clear of the drop zone. In the early kick-off on Saturday, Fulham beat Aston Villa to keep their hopes of qualification for Europe alive. Ryan Sessegnon scored the only goal of the game shortly before half-time after Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins had gone close for Villa. Fulham are now 10th, level on 48 points with neighbors Chelsea and just two behind sixth-placed Brighton in the scrap for places in the Champions League, Europa League and UEFA Conference League.
LIVERPOOL: Liverpool moved ever closer to securing Champions League football next season with a 3-1 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday but will be hoping Mohamed Salah has not played his final game for the club. Salah limped off in the second half at Anfield holding his hamstring with less than a month of his glittering career with the Reds remaining. Two goals in five minutes just before half-time tightened the grip of Arne Slot’s men on a top-five finish. British transfer record signing Alexander Isak scored his first goal since returning from a leg break as he turned home on the rebound after Alexis MacAllister’s initial effort was blocked. Andy Robertson then marked one of his final appearances at Anfield with a fine finish at the end of a lethal Liverpool counter-attack after third-choice goalkeeper Freddie Woodman had denied Palace an equalizer. Salah went to ground just before the hour mark holding the back of his left leg and was given a standing ovation as he made way for Jeremie Frimpong. Daniel Munoz reduced the Eagles’ arrears despite Liverpool appeals for a foul on Woodman 19 minutes from time. But Florian Wirtz secured the three points deep into stoppage time with just his fifth Premier League goal since a £100 million move from Bayer Leverkusen. Victory moves Liverpool up to fourth and opens up an eight-point lead on sixth-placed Brighton with just four games of the season remaining.
HONG KONG: Former Tottenham star Edgar Davids on Tuesday told AFP that the fallen London giants will find it hard to avoid relegation and condemned “a lack of quality and a lack of management.” Tottenham are on their third manager of a disastrous season and sit in the Premier League relegation zone, two points adrift of safety with five matches left. Former Netherlands international midfielder Davids said the appointment of Italian coach Roberto De Zerbi three weeks ago was a good move, but fears for Spurs’ Premier League future. Asked by AFP how Tottenham had ended up in such a predicament, Davids said: “It’s very obvious, if you pay peanuts, you get … “It’s a lack of quality and a lack of management. Everything.” Davids, who played for Spurs in 2005-2006 after starring for Ajax, AC Milan, Juventus, Barcelona and Inter Milan, said Spurs should have strengthened an injury-hit squad in the winter transfer window. “I hope they stay up, I think it’s a very good thing they got in De Zerbi,” said the 53-year-old, speaking at the announcement of the “Hong Kong Football Festival” featuring Manchester City, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Juventus in August. “But it’s hard.
BARCELONA” Antoine Griezmann showed his vintage scoring form by netting two goals to help Atletico Madrid beat Levante 3-1 in the Spanish League on Saturday. Atletico’s all-time leading scorer came on in the 61st minute and needed only a few seconds to score the go-ahead goal. He added another with 10 minutes remaining to seal the victory. Those were goals No.
LONDON: Ruben Amorim said Manchester United are “in the beginning of becoming a very strong team” after extending their unbeaten run to five Premier League games with a dramatic 2-2 draw at Tottenham. The Red Devils looked set to go second in the table as they led through Bryan Mbeumo’s first-half header for nearly an hour. However, Spurs struck twice in seven minutes to turn the game on its head through Mathys Tel and Richarlison. Despite going down to 10 men as Benjamin Sesko limped off after Amorim had made his five allotted substitutions, the visitors still fought back to rescue a point through Matthijs de Ligt’s towering header in the 96th minute. Amorim praised his side’s resilience, but believes they should have gone on to win after bossing the first half. “During the game you feel that the three points were there,” said the Portuguese. “If you look to the game and if you feel the environment, we have so much to grow as a team because today was our day to win this game.” Amorim added: “If we have um a a little bit more bravery, we can kill this game.” A share of the points leaves United down in seventh and they could even drop out of the top half before the end of the weekend if other results go against them. But Amorim sees progress during his longest unbeaten streak since taking charge at Old Trafford just over a year ago. “I understand that this is just the tip of the iceberg.
