'Want Me And My Kids To Die': Chelsea Manager Graham Potter Makes Shocking Revelation
Under-fire Chelsea manager Graham Potter has received emails threatening him and his family. Potter revealed on Friday he has been targeted by an anonymous account after Chelsea's dismal season hit a new low with a 1-0 home defeat against Southampton last weekend. Chelsea are languishing in 10th place and have won only two of their last 14 matches. Supporters called for Potter to be sacked throughout the Southampton debacle, with personal attacks towards him on social media also increasing.
Super-Sub Manor Solomon Scores Again As Fulham Rescue Wolverhampton Draw
Manor Solomon extended his hot streak as the Fulham forward came off the bench to rescue a 1-1 draw against Wolves in Friday's Premier League clash. Marco Silva's side trailed to Pablo Sarabia's first goal in five appearances for Wolves since his January move from Paris Saint Germain. But Israel international Solomon netted after half-time to stretch Fulham's unbeaten run in the league to four matches. Solomon made a quiet start after joining Fulham on loan from Shakhtar Donetsk last year, but the 23-year-old now has three goals in his last three appearances.
Pep Guardiola Defends Manchester City Hotshot Erling Haaland
Pep Guardiola insists Erling Haaland is not to blame for his lack of involvement in Manchester City's attack because the whole team should take responsibility when they fail to click. Haaland has scored a remarkable 32 goals so far in his first season with City, but the Norway striker still divides opinions as the Premier League champions lack their previous fluency with him in the side. The 22-year-old failed to net in disappointing draws against Nottingham Forest and Leipzig over the past week.
Southampton Appoint Ruben Selles As Manager Until End Of Season
Premier League strugglers Southampton on Friday named Ruben Selles as their manager until the end of the season. The appointment of the 39-year-old Spaniard follows the sacking earlier this month of Nathan Jones, who was in charge for just three months. Southampton are bottom of the English top flight, with five wins in their 23 league games so far this season. The club issued a brief statement saying: "Southampton Football Club can today confirm that Ruben Selles has been appointed as men's first team manager until the end of the 2022/23 season."
Premier League: Son Heung-min Makes His Point As Tottenham Hotspur Sink West Ham
Son Heung-min produced the perfect response after being dropped as the South Korea forward came off the bench to seal Tottenham's 2-0 win against West Ham on Sunday. Son has struggled badly this season and his poor form convinced Tottenham's absentee boss Antonio Conte to axe him for the Premier League clash. Prior to this weekend, the 30-year-old had scored in only four matches this season. But Son made his point to Conte as he came off the bench to net Tottenham's second goal after Emerson Royal put the hosts ahead in the second half.
Man City Back In Business After Statement Win At Arsenal
Written off at times during an unusually erratic season, resurgent Manchester City delivered a resounding statement as they moved to the top of the Premier League with a 3-1 victory at title rivals Arsenal on Wednesday. As City's players celebrated in front of their travelling fans in one corner of the Emirates Stadium at the final whistle, Pep Guardiola's face was wreathed in smiles, and perhaps tinged with a little relief. Just a few minutes earlier, Guardiola had been punching the air in delight as second half goals from Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland lifted City back to the top of the table.
