Chelsea defeat Bournemouth 3-1 to secure first win after 56 very long days

BOURNEMOUTH — Chelsea claimed their first win under interim manager Frank Lampard with a 3-1 victory at Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday to snap a nine-match winless run in all competitions.

Late goals from Benoit Badiashile and Joao Felix helped Chelsea move up to 11th with 42 points while Bournemouth slipped to 14th, three points behind the London side having played a game more.

Today Leeds fans learned that Weston McKennie can throw a ball over them mountains

There were a few bright spots for Major Leeds Soccer as they only lost 2-1 to Manchester City on Saturday and gave the league leaders a late scare. One of the rare positive moments from the game was the Weston McKennie long throw strategy.

If you support the United States men’s national team then you know all about McKennie’s throw-in abilities. For some reason Leeds have rarely asked the American to utilize his skills.

New Leeds manager Sam Allardyce was all over it and asked McKennie to huck a ball into City’s box in the 10th minute.

Napoli revive memories of Maradona with Serie A title win

Napoli clinched the Serie A title on Thursday with five games to spare as they ended a 33-year drought stretching back to when Diego Maradona led them to the Scudetto in 1990.

At the start of the season it would have been difficult to envisage Napoli becoming champions ahead of heavyweights such as Juventus and the two Milan clubs not to mention AS Roma.

An open letter to Chelsea fans: Are you guys OK?

Dearest Chelsea fandom,

I hope this letter finds you well, however I seriously doubt it. I trust that you witnessed yet another pathetic performance from your club on Tuesday as the once mighty Blues lost their sixth game in-a-row.

60,000 watch on in horror as Arsenal throw away place in Champions League final

When two teams are so evenly matched, the old cliché dictates that an individual piece of genius or a horrendous mistake will ultimately decide the outcome.

For Arsenal and Wolfsburg — with the score level at 4-4 on aggregate after nearly 190 minutes of action across the two legs — it was the unfortunate error that ultimately decided the tie.

El panenka de Volpi, Malagod y los clasificados a la liguilla – Lo que dejó la J17 del Clausura 2023

Con el cierre de la J17 del Clausura 2023, una nueva fase regular de la Liga MX es historia.

A nivel personal no queda otra que felicitar a Henry Martín, quien con 14 goles se convirtió en el campeón de goleo de la competencia, siendo el primer mexicano en conseguir el honor desde que Alan Pulido lo hiciera en el Apertura 2019.

¿Cómo quedó la tabla? Monterrey, América, Chivas y Toluca aseguraron el Top 4 y clasificaron de manera directa a los cuartos de final de la liguilla. 

Para el repechaje, en tanto, las parejas quedaron así:

Edson Álvarez se hizo el Machín ante PSV y acabó tirando uno de los peores penales del 2023

Considerando lo meramente futbolístico, Edson Álvarez tuvo una muy buena performance en la final de la Copa KNVB entre Ajax y PSV. Emocionalmente, Machín también logró cobrar revancha de una burla que Patrick van Aanholt le había hecho a su compañero Jorge Sánchez hace un par de semanas.

Sin embargo, ¿qué es lo que quedará en la memoria? El ridículo penal que falló en la tanda de los doce pasos y que eventualmente le dio el título del torneo a sus rivales.
