Tottenham Hotspur ran riot against an out-of-sorts Manchester United team on Sunday afternoon at Old Trafford, easing past Erik ten Hag’s men, but manager Ange Postecoglou was left fuming with teenager Lucas Bergvall for two incidents late on in the match. An exceptional run from Micky Van de Ven saw Brennan Johnson tap home for the travelling team inside the first five minutes before Bruno Fernandes was given his marching orders for a reckless tackle on James Maddison on the stroke of half-time. Spurs capitalised on their man advantage in the second period, with a smart finish from Dejan Kulusesvski…
Former West Ham boss David Moyes could be in line for a shock return to the Premier League but not with Everton as many expected. Julen Lopetegui has endured a difficult start to life as David Moyes’ successor at West Ham. It is a well trodden path following the same manager at Everton too with Sean Dyche the latest walking along it. After nearly five years of major progress, Moyes was always going to be a tough act to follow at West Ham. Just as it has been down the years at Everton. Not least because Moyes is a favourite…

All credit to Julen Lopetegui, he made big changes to his West Ham team at half-time, including the bold decision to bring off Mohammed Kudus.

Julen Lopetegui has confirmed Mohammed Kudus was withdrawn at half-time for tactical reasons as West Ham drew 1-1 with Brentford on Saturday (28 September). The 24-year-old winger was massively involved during the opening 45 minutes, threatening Mark Flekken’s goal and charging down the left flank, but he did not return to the pitch for the second half.

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a surprise move for the Italian manager Maurizio Sarri. The 65-year-old Italian manager is currently without a job after resigning from his position as the head coach of Lazio earlier this summer. According to a report from Fichajes, a mediocre start to the season has prompted the club to look at potential solutions and they are keeping tabs on the former Chelsea manager as an alternative to Ange Postecoglou. It would be extremely surprising if the London club decided to make a move for the 65-year-old in the near future. Postecoglou has done reasonably…
West Ham United drew 1-1 with Brentford this afternoon, but the result will not be enough to quiet Julen Lopetegui’s naysayers. Julen Lopetegui desperately needed a win today, but most importantly, he had to ensure that West Ham didn’t lose to Brentford in the vital Premier League clash. Lopetegui is really feeling the heat at the London Stadium right now, and it has actually been claimed that the Spaniard’s job is at risk. Whilst I don’t think he’s in danger of being sacked right now, he definitely cannot afford to oversee a run of three or four defeats in a…
Tottenham Hotspur have so many exciting young players on their books at the moment. Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall both arrived at the club this summer and they look to have big potential, while Spurs have a number of their own academy products who are on the right track at the moment.

The 17-year-old was brilliant in pre-season for Tottenham, while PSG have been linked with a move for the forward. Speaking to TalkSPORT, Gary Mabutt has been…

Bittersweet night for Spurs duo While Tottenham would have been delighted to emerge 3-0 winners against Qarabag despite playing almost the whole game with just ten men, a couple of players endured frustrating nights. One is Radu Dragusin, who was the man sent off after a lapse in concentration in the seventh minute and his subsequent foul. The other was Lucas Bergvall, who was sacrificed following Dragusin’s sending off as Postecoglou decided to move Ben Davies to…
