Premier League

This Sunday started out like every other game for the Foxes. An early goal at the 18-minute mark by Jamie Vardy put Leicester City out in front, 1-0. Business as usual it seemed for this club, but 10 minutes into the second half Vardy was dismissed due to his second booking. And, with a foul by Wes Morgan on Andy Carroll in the penalty area, West Ham tied the game at the 84-minute mark. Only two minutes later, West Ham struck again, taking a 2-1 advantage.  

Jurgen Klopp was brought to Liverpool because of his reputation and history of success. At his former club, Borussia Dortmund, he had taken a team that had known failure for a long, long time and turned them into a title winner and Champions League finalist. Outside of his ability to build a team and teach it his tactical philosophy, he was known for his power of charisma. He knows how to say the right thing in the right way in order to get a reaction from people. 

Buzzer beaters and clutch shots are just part of another day’s work in the world of basketball, and yet are quite a rare commodity in the world of soccer, which makes them extra special when they happen. 

And nobody has provided the world with that kind of special more times than Jurgen Klopp in the last few years. So here are the top three nail-biters Klopp and his squads have gifted the world in recent history. 

3. Norwich City 4 – 5 Liverpool

When you're a kid, you dream of scoring the big goal. The goal that wins the final. The goal that wins the league. The goal that grants you immortality. The goal that wins you promotion. You dream of an amazing goal, a goal that people will remember long after you're gone, a goal with skill, flair, magic. That is not how it went for Middlesbrough.

Forgotten in Brazil after a few seasons, Alexandre Pato is back in the spotlight and apparently, he’s going to do his best to stay this time.

At least, those are the hints given by reports buzzing around the media. According to TeamTalk, Antonio Conte is keen on keeping the prolific striker in the Blues’ uniform when he lands in Stamford Bridge.

The FA Cup may have lost its shine in recent years, but it is still capable of throwing up some interesting plotlines, and this year is no exception. With a victory against West Ham at Upton Park, Manchester United are now set to take on Everton at Wembley on April 23rd. Both Roberto Martinez and Louis Van Gaal are walking on thin ice in their respective positions, and the FA Cup could be their only chance at success this season. 

Leicester City's season has been one for the ages. If you were to ask just about anybody before the Premier League season began, not many would have been able to predict this type of run. The team itself came out of nowhere, but even more out of nowhere has been their leading goal scorer, Jamie Vardy.  

Norwich City forward Dieumerci Mbokani almost died in the Brussels terrorist attacks last month. He and his wife were waiting outside the Brussels airport for his cousin's girlfriend when the bombs went off. If the pair hadn't stopped to wait, they would both probably be dead.

Earlier this week internationally famous singing person Adele threw her support for the Premiership title behind Tottenham Hotspur.

That in and of itself is only sort of newsy, but The18 has learned that Adele's smash hit "Hello" was originally written about Spurs, and we've gotten hold of an exclusive (fake) copy of an early studio take, which we present to you here:

Adele: OK let's get started! Pip pip jiminy crumpets!
