Spurs Star Son Heung-Min Becomes First Asian To Score 100 Premier League Goals

Son Heung-min dedicated his historic goal in Tottenham's 2-1 win against Brighton to his late grandfather after the South Korea star became the first Asian to score 100 times in the Premier League. Son reached his century in style with a superb curling finish to put Tottenham ahead in the first half in north London on Saturday. After Lewis Dunk's equaliser, Harry Kane's 79th-minute winner ensured Son's goal wouldn't go to waste as fifth-placed Tottenham stayed in the hunt to qualify for the Champions League via a top-four finish.

SA's Lyle Foster makes it to the English Premier League after Burnley promotion

Bafana Bafana centre forward Lyle Foster is poised to end South Africa’s long drought without a representative in the English Premier League after his Burnley team was promoted on Friday.

Aleksandar Mitrovic Handed Eight-Game Ban For Pushing Referee

Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic has been handed an eight-game ban after he barged a referee during his side's FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Manchester United last month. The Serbian international was shown a straight red card for pushing Chris Kavanagh after the official awarded a penalty and dismissed Fulham's Willian for deliberate handball on the line. Fulham manager Marco Silva was also shown a red card at the time and will serve a two-game ban.

Graham Potter Sacked As New-Look Chelsea Remain Ruthless

Chelsea's new owners have been quick to try and put their stamp on the club, but the Blues hot seat remains one of the most precarious in football as Graham Potter was sacked as manager on Sunday. Potter lasted just seven months in the job as the Englishman paid the price for slipping to 11th in the Premier League table. That was not the return the club's American ownership group was expecting after investing over £500 million ($616 million) in new players in their first season in charge, on top of the £2.5 billion they paid for the club.

Bukayo Saka's 'Rare' Talent Fuels Arsenal's Title Charge

Bukayo Saka will re-focus on Arsenal's Premier League title push on Saturday after enhancing his reputation as one of the world's top young players with a wonder goal in England colours. The forward has played a central role in the Gunners' bid to be crowned champions for the first time since 2004 while also starring for Gareth Southgate's national side. No longer merely a promising prodigy from Arsenal's youth academy, the 21-year-old scored a stunning goal in England's 2-0 win against Ukraine in a Euro 2024 qualifier at Wembley last Sunday.

Antonio Conte Leaves Tottenham 'By Mutual Agreement'

Antonio Conte has left Tottenham "by mutual agreement" after 16 months in charge, the Premier League club announced on Sunday. His departure comes after the Italian's extraordinary post-match rant following a 3-3 draw at Southampton on March 18, a game in which they blew a 3-1 lead. The 53-year-old, who took over in November 2021, will be replaced by his assistant Cristian Stellini until the end of the season. "We can announce that head coach Antonio Conte has left the club by mutual agreement," a club statement read.

Manchester United Owners Await Revised Offers For Premier League Giants

Manchester United's owners were Thursday awaiting fresh bids from a Qatari banker and British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe after the deadline passed for revised offers to buy the Premier League giants. Reports said bidders were initially told they had until 2100 GMT on Wednesday to submit new bids, but that has now been extended. It is unclear when the new cut-off will be. Sheikh Jassim Bin Hamad Al Thani, the chairman of Qatar Islamic Bank, and Ratcliffe, the founder of chemicals giant INEOS, are the only bidders who have gone public with their intentions.

Bakayo Saka Stars As Rampant Arsenal Move Eight Points Clear

Arsenal surged eight points clear at the top of the Premier League as Bukayo Saka's brace inspired a 4-1 rout of Crystal Palace on Sunday. Gabriel Martinelli opened the scoring in the first half at the Emirates Stadium to put the leaders on course for a sixth successive league victory. It was redemption for Martinelli, whose missed penalty condemned Arsenal to Europa League last 16 defeat in their shoot-out against Sporting Lisbon on Thursday. Mikel Arteta's side needed just 45 minutes against struggling Palace to erase the bitter taste of that loss. Saka followed Martinelli's goal by doubling Arsenal's lead before half-time.
