Liverpool Need Best Display Of Season To Beat PSG – Slot

CUD WontumiSports,
Liverpool boss Arne Slot says his side will need to produce their best performance of the season to see off Paris St-Germain and progress to the Champions League quarter-finals. The Reds were second-best for the majority of their last-16 first leg in Paris last week, but snatched a 1-0 victory thanks to Harvey Elliott’s late strike. It was a memorable result but Slot knows it needs to be backed up with a big performance at Anfield on Tuesday. “Yes. I do think so,” he said, when asked if Liverpool need to be better than they have been in any other game under…

Slot Said Ref Oliver To Blame If Liverpool Fail To Win Title

CUD WontumiSports
Liverpool manager Arne Slot told referee Michael Oliver he would blame him if the club failed to win this season’s Premier League. The Dutchman was shown a straight red card after he confronted Oliver and one of his assistant referees on the pitch following his side’s 2-2 Merseyside derby draw with Everton last month. Slot was given a two-match ban and fined £70,000 by an independent Football Association commission after accepting a charge of acting in an improper manner and using insulting and/or abusive words and/or behaviour towards both the match referee and an assistant referee. Oliver alleged Slot, while shaking the official’s…

Liverpool Cruise Past Man City To Strengthen Title Chances

CUD WontumiSports,
Liverpool tightened their vice-like grip on this season's Premier League title as they extended their lead to 11 points with a comfortable victory at Manchester City. The leaders had already seen their position strengthened when Arsenal lost at home to West Ham on Saturday before moving into what looks like an unassailable position with a superb display against the fallen reigning champions. City opened brightly but were caught cold by a clever Liverpool corner routine after 14 minutes, Mohamed Salah scoring his 30th goal of the season after Dominik Szoboszlai played Alex Mac Allister's delivery into his path. Salah repaid…

Arsenal Cut Gap On Liverpool With Win Over Spurs

CUD WontumiSports
Arsenal moved to within four points of Premier League leaders Liverpool with victory over Tottenham in the north London derby at Emirates Stadium. The Gunners, who have played a game more than Liverpool, were desperate to return to winning ways after losing at home to Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg and then going out to Manchester United on penalties in the FA Cup third round. Arsenal suffered another setback when, totally against the run of play, Son Heung-min’s shot was deflected off William Saliba past keeper David Raya after 25 minutes. The response came from a…

Substitute Jota Equalises As Liverpool Draw Thriller At Forest

CUD WontumiSports
Liverpool had to come from behind to maintain their six-point lead at the top of the Premier League table in an enthralling draw with surprise challengers Nottingham Forest. Forest, chasing a seventh successive league win for the first time since 1922, took the lead after only eight minutes when Chris Wood applied a clinical finish to Anthony Elanga’s pass. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side survived in relative comfort as they tried to complete the league double over Liverpool, until head coach Arne Slot’s substitutions had an instant impact after 66 minutes. Diogo Jota had only been on the pitch 22 seconds…

Arsenal, Liverpool And Manchester City Contact Agents Of Barcelona Star

wontumionlineSports, ,
Barcelona had considered selling Raphinha last summer to fund a move for Nico Williams, but keeping him has proven to be a wise decision. The Brazilian has been in excellent form, attracting interest from top European clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City for next summer. Despite the interest, it is unlikely that Raphinha will leave, as he has become a key player and leader at Barcelona, even being elected vice-captain. With 27 goal contributions in 24 appearances this season, he leads the team in this regard. Barcelona is still focused on strengthening the left-wing position but is expected to…

‘Best Game Of Season’ – Newcastle Give Liverpool Rivals Hope

wontumionlineSports,
Premier League leaders Liverpool drew 3-3 with Newcastle in an enthralling match at St James’ Park which was described as one of the best games of the season. The Reds twice trailed and then led thanks to a double from the ever-reliable Mohamed Salah, and looked set to extend their winning run in the league to five games. But Fabian Schar’s 90th-minute equaliser earned Newcastle a deserved point at the end of an exhausting encounter. “One of the best [games] I’ve seen this season,” said former Chelsea winger Pat Nevin on BBC Radio 5 Live at full-time. “We have seen…

Liverpool Beat Man City To Go Nine Points Clear At Top

wontumionlineSports,
Liverpool went 11 points clear of defending Premier League champions Manchester City following a 2-0 win over their title rivals thanks to goals from Cody Gakpo and Mo Salah. Arne Slot’s side came into the game after beating Real Madrid in midweek and knowing that a win would give them a huge advantage in the title race. The Reds started in lightning fashion, piling forward in numbers, and Virgil van Dijk was only denied by the woodwork. However, Liverpool were rewarded with a 12th-minute opener as Salah’s inviting ball was finished by Gakpo. Van Dijk was a towering presence at…

‘Now Give Mo His Dough’ – Liverpool Can’t Let Salah Leave Anfield

wontumionlineSports,
Liverpool’s fans are using Mohamed Salah’s trademark goal celebration to make public their demands that ‘The Egyptian King’ must not be allowed to leave Anfield. ‘He Fires A Bow.

Liverpool, struggling against determined opponents and a horrendous south-coast storm, were toiling at 2-1 down until Salah struck twice to give them the victory that puts them eight points clear at the top of the Premier League.…

Liverpool’s To Lose? Is Premier League Title Race Almost Over?

wontumionlineSports
Is the Premier League title race almost over? Liverpool’s win against Southampton on Sunday moved them eight points clear in top spot. Only once has a team had a bigger lead after 12 games and that was Manchester United. Clear by nine, they went on to win the title in the 1993-94 season. Two other teams have led by eight points at this stage – Manchester City in 2017-18 and Liverpool in 2019-20 – and both were also crowned champions. Liverpool’s haul of 31 points from the opening 12 matches has only been equalled or bettered 10 times in Premier League…
