An 86th-minute header from Scott McTominay sealed a hugely impressive win for Manchester United at Villa Park on Sunday. Man Utd went ahead in the first half through the in-form Rasmus Hojlund, before a period of sustained pressure from Villa culminated in Douglas Luiz making it 1-1. Both teams missed decent chances to win the game before McTominay came off of the bench to thump home a stunning clincher. The win sees Man Utd climb to within just six points of the top four places after a run of three wins on the bounce in the Premier League. How the game unfolded Man Utd caused Villa's backline problems early on with both their pace on the break and their high-pressing. The latter almost resulted in an opening goal in the 11th minute when, after winning possession just outside of Villa's box, Bruno Fernandes cleverly slid the ball into the path of Hojlund. After controlling, however, Hojlund saw his effort from inside the area deflect wide of the post. The Danish striker would ...

Arsenal have added Dutch defender Jurrien Timber to their Champions League squad for the second half of the season as he nears a return from injury. Timber joined Arsenal from Ajax for around £38m during the summer but suffered a serious ACL injury during his Premier League debut and, after undergoing surgery, was left off the European squad list for the group stage. However, Timber is now back in the squad, with Mikel Arteta handing him the senior spot which was vacated by Lino Sousa's winter exit to Aston Villa. Just when Timber will be back available remains to be seen. Initial estimates of seven to nine months on the sidelines would mean a return in March at the very earliest, and his inclusion in the squad suggests that sort of time frame may prove to be accurate. Arsenal will take on Porto in the last 16 of the Champions League, but that tie will almost certainly come too soon for Timber. The first leg is scheduled for February 21, with the return fixture on March 12. Shoul...

Manchester City kept the pressure on Liverpool in the developing Premier League title race with a comfortable win over Burnley at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night. It was the first time that City legend Vincent Kompany, having seen his Clarets lose the reverse fixture back in August, had taken a team to his former stomping ground. But any chance of a shock result was squashed in the first half alone when Julian Alvarez, doing the Business in Erling Haaland’s absence from the start – although the Norwegian did make his eagerly awaited return from the bench, scored twice in quick succession inside the opening 22 minutes. Rodri put the icing on the cake almost immediately after half-time, with Ameen Al Dakhil pulling one back in stoppage to at least tarnish the champions’ clean sheet. How the game unfolded The hosts dominated proceedings from the first moments, although it was a slow start from them in terms of chance creation, taking time to feel their way around Burnley and sus ou...

Brentford have signed Sergio Reguilon on loan from Tottenham Hotspur for the remainder of the 2023/24 season. Reguilon had spent the first half of the campaign on loan at Manchester United after their need to bring in cover at left-back emerged late in the summer transfer window, losing both Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia to injury. Though the deal covered the entirety of the season, United opted to use a break clause in the deal earlier in January with Shaw and Malacia nearing returns to fitness. But with Reguilon not in Ange Postecoglou's plans at Spurs, he has departed on loan once again, joining London neighbours Brentford. Welcome to Brentford, Sergio Reguilón! ✍️🇪🇸 pic.twitter.com/9MKpV23e6Q — Brentford FC (@BrentfordFC) January 17, 2024 The Bees have made no secret of their desire to strengthen at left-back during the January transfer window after Rico Henry suffered an ACL injury back in September. In his absence, Thomas Frank has had to use several players - such as midfie...

FROM STAMFORD BRIDGE - Chelsea just about did enough to see off neighbours Fulham in a nervy west London derby on Saturday. A first-half penalty from Cole Palmer was all that separated the two sides on a day where neither really got going in attack. Mauricio Pochettino's men have climbed to eighth in the Premier League table above Manchester United and Newcastle United, who play later this weekend, while Marco Silva's charges remain 13th. How the game unfolded The first real sight of goal came on the 15-minute mark when Conor Gallagher fired over when surrounded by five Fulham bodies on the edge of the penalty area. Chelsea went closer soon after as Enzo Fernandez's pinpoint cross from the left flank was met by Armando Broja, but his header sailed wide of the near post. Fulham went nearly broke the deadlock when Antonee Robinson's low cross travelled all the way through the Chelsea six-yard box and found Harry Wilson, whose first-time strike was denied by the legs of ...

It's been a contrasting January transfer window for these two sides so far, with the only deal of note at Old Trafford being Jadon Sancho's return to Borussia Dortmund. As for Spurs, Timo Werner has arrived on loan from RB Leipzig, while Radu Dragusin has come in from Genoa to add some much-needed depth at the back. Both teams secured progression to the fourth round of the FA Cup last time out but this game is always a tough one to predict.
