Manchester City Back On Track After Crystal Palace Win

October 19, 2019 4:22 pm

Manchester City brushed aside in-form Crystal Palace 2-0 on Saturday to narrow the gap to Premier League leaders Liverpool to five points.

The defending champions travelled to London with questions over their ability to sustain a title challenge after two defeats in four league games but produced some incisive football without applying their usual killer touch.

Pep Guardiola’s team were quickly into their stride against Roy Hodgson’s men, dominating possession and forcing Palace onto the back foot but they did not break the deadlock until shortly before half-time.

City was rewarded for their dominance in the 39th minute when Bernardo …

Bad Performance Might Cost Manchester United £400m Deal

Bad Performance Might Cost Manchester United £400m Deal

October 11, 2019 1:22 pm

It has become desperately pertinent for Manchester United to begin a search for new shirt sponsor as Chevrolet is highly unlikely to renew their deal while the club continues to struggle on the field of play.

The American car manufacturer signed a staggering £410million agreement in 2012, when Sir Alex Ferguson was at the helm and United were consistently challenging for top honors. The seven-year deal came into play in 2014. In the time United have displayed the Chevrolet brand on their shirts, they have failed to win the Premier League title and come nowhere near lifting the Champions League.…

Manchester United And Arsenal EPL Clash Ends In 1-1 Draw

October 2, 2019 3:56 pm

Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Arsenal on Monday in a Premier League game which was a poor imitation of some of the past clashes between the clubs.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s 58th minute goal, given after VAR review, cancelled out Scott McTominay’s well-struck opener on the stroke of halftime, but it was a game which highlighted the weaknesses of the two teams.

The result leaves United in 10th place with just nine points, their worst start after seven games for 30 years and they have won just one of their last six league games.

Manchester City; EPL Champions Thrash Feisty Everton 3-1

September 28, 2019 4:43 pm

Manchester City had her nerves calmed by Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling on Saturday as the Premier League champions overcame a searching test to beat feisty Everton 3-1 and keep leaders Liverpool in their sights.

Pep Guardiola’s team came into the match at Goodison Park knowing they could not afford to fall further behind Jurgen Klopp’s high-fliers, who earlier extended their perfect record to stretch their lead to eight points.

It appeared to be normal service for Manchester City when they took the lead midway through the first half through Gabriel Jesus but Everton hit back nine minutes later through …
