United Shatters City's Winning Run


Manchester United ended City's unbeaten run with an impressive 2-0 win at the Manchester Derby hosted at the Etihad.

Pep Guardiola's side were on a record run of 21 successive wins in all competitions heading into the Manchester derby. But the red devil's ruined City's 28-game unbeaten run in all competitions thanks to an early penalty from Bruno Fernandes nd Luke Shaw's second-half strike.

With just 34 seconds gone, Anthony Martial made a dangerous raid into the City penalty area and Gabriel Jesus responded with a needless, clumsy challenge that sent the French striker sprawling.

The referee rewarded United with a penalty which was successfuly converted by Bruno Fernandes giving Ole Gunner men an early lead. 

Manchester City tried every luck to equalise the goal but all their efforts were denied by both the United defenders and the keeper only to be caught off guard in the second half when United left-back Shaw broke from deep inside his own half, played a one-two with Marcus Rashford and fired a fine finish past Ederson from just inside the area.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team are now unbeaten in their last 22 away league games and moved above Leicester into second place, but are still 11 points behind City with 10 games left.

Despite this fast defeat since losing at Tottenham in November, City remain firm favourites to lift the title for the third time in four seasons.

Liverpool sink again!

Jurgen Klopps men seems to be drowning more and more.Liverpool have now lost six consecutive home league games and gone eight without a win at Anfield after a 1-0 loss to Fulham on Sunday.

The defending champions will not only be replaced my Manchester City as the new champions but may also miss on the champions league spot after dropping to seventh position.

The reds best chance of qualifying for next season's Champions League may now be in winning the European Cup for a seventh time.

In other league matches played over the weekend:Newcastle United drew nill nill with their host wesbromich albion, sherfiel United lost at home to Southampton with 2 goals to nothing while Aston villa drew with wolves in a goaless encounter.

Arsenal drew 1-1 with Burnley on Saturday.

Chelsea will host Everton tonight at 9pm on another league action. Thomas Tuchel looks forward to maintain his unbeaten run since taking from Frank Lampard.

Brazil Sent Packing As Croatia Proceeds To Semi Finals

Image
The World Cup of shocks continued on Friday as wily Croatia dumped favourites Brazil out on penalties. Brazil are gone, out of the World Cup that they always seemed so likely to win. They were favourites in this game and likely would have been in all of the ones to come. That didn't matter to Croatia as they fought harder than before to eliminate the 5 times winners. If this were David and Goliath, and make no mistake, Brazil are a Goliath, then a penalty shootout is seemingly Croatia's rock, the great equaliser. They pushed the mighty Selecao to penalties and took over from there, with Rodrygo's miss setting the tone for his side's collapse. And that's what it will feel like: a collapse. They seemingly had this settled thanks to Neymar , who had scored a career-defining goal in extra time. Bruno Petkovic equalised in the 116th minute and, from there, it all unraveled for Brazil, both the game and the World Cup. Croatia will play Argentina in the semi finals after t...
