OSLO — The son of Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has weighed in on his father's spat with Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho after the Norwegian coach said he wouldn't feed his son if he simulated an injury.
The row erupted following Sunday's 3-1 win in the Premier League for United when Solskjaer senior criticised Spurs attacker Son Heung-min for exaggerating a blow to the face.
Desde que la primera división inglesa pasó a llamarse Premier League, en la temporada 1992-93, diez son los futbolistas con pasaporte mexicano que han vestido la camiseta de alguno de sus clubes. No todos, sin embargo, han tenido el placer de agitar la garganta de los aficionados en las tribunas al ritmo de un gol. Dicho privilegio, hasta ahora, solo recae en seis jugadores.
¿Quiénes son? ¿Dónde anotaron? ¿Cuántas veces lo hicieron? Aquí la lista, enfatizando que solo incluimos goles en Premier League y no otras competencias.
Raise your hand if you predicted that West Bromwich Albion would defeat Chelsea 5-2 at Stamford Bridge and then a week later overpower Southampton 3-0. Anybody? I would have been surprised just to hear that West Brom scored multiple goals in a match.
After recording just three wins and scoring only 20 goals in its first 29 EPL matches, West Brom has found the back of the net eight times over its last two matches, picking up two victories — each by three goals — in the process.
Barcelona have leapfrogged Spanish rivals Real Madrid to become the world's most valuable soccer club with a valuation of $4.76 billion, according to a list published by business magazine Forbes on Monday.
Real Madrid, who have topped the list five times in the past, edged Barcelona 2-1 in El Clásico on Saturday but find themselves second best off the pitch with a valuation of $4.75 billion.
With Manchester City reaffirming its Premier League dominance after a "down year" (if 81 points and a +67 GD can be considered a down year), it appears that Pep Guardiola is on his way to a fourth EPL crown. The big question is: How soon can Man City win the league?
LONDON - Late goals by Edinson Cavani and Mason Greenwood sealed Manchester United a 3-1 comeback win against Tottenham Hotspur, cementing their place in the Premier League top-four and leaving the London club's hopes of joining them looking slim on Sunday.
Cavani had a goal controversially ruled out in an otherwise dull first half shortly before Son Heung-min gave Tottenham a 40th-minute lead with their first shot on target.
SON!
¿Recuerdan al Jesse Lingard del Manchester United? Bueno, ese hombre no existe más. Ahora pueden llamarlo Lingardinho o Lingardowski.
Después de dos años de terror en Old Trafford, en los que registró apenas un gol y cero asistencias en Premier League, hoy el mediocampista renace en el West Ham. No más memes, no más chistes. Lingard suma ocho goles en nueve partidos por los Hammers, transformándose en una de las armas ofensivas más letales de la división. De hecho, si solo contáramos 2021 sería el actual campeón de goleo del torneo.
BURNLEY - Frenchman Allan Saint-Maximin came off the bench to turn the game around for lowly Newcastle United as they came from behind to earn a vital 2-1 Premier League win at Burnley on Sunday.
Burnley had led through an 18th-minute goal from Czech striker Matěj Vydra and were well on top before substitute Saint-Maximin changed the game inside seven minutes with an assist and a goal.
El bielsismo está de fiesta. El Leeds United de Marcelo Bielsa consiguió hoy un bombástico triunfo sobre el casi campeón de la Premier League, el Manchester City de Pep Guardiola. La victoria además fue a domicilio, jugando con 10 hombres y con un gol de último minuto. Por si fuera poco, también aseguró la permanencia de The Whites en la división.
Ni hablar de esta fantástica sonrisa post-partido.
Thomas Tuchel is finally giving Christian Pulisic some playing time and the American is responding. Pulisic scored twice in a rampaging 4-1 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday, his second straight Premier League appearance with at least one goal.
