Gary Neville backed referee Craig Pawson’s call not to show Marc Guehi a straight red card in the second half of Liverpool’s clash with Manchester City at Anfield. Liverpool players and fans were convinced Guehi should have been sent off in the 68th minute after bringing down Mohamed Salah just outside the penalty area. The defender was only booked, despite appearing to tug Salah back as the forward drove through the right channel. Pawson immediately awarded a free-kick, with VAR confirming the foul took place — and ended — outside the box, ruling out any penalty claims. VAR then reviewed…
Dominik Szoboszlai is set to serve a suspension after seeing red in the dramatic closing moments of Liverpool’s loss to Manchester City on Sunday. The Hungarian midfielder had earlier put the Reds ahead with a superb free-kick, but late chaos followed as Liverpool pushed for an equaliser with Alisson Becker up the pitch. When Rayan Cherki’s long-range effort rolled into the net, Szoboszlai had sprinted back in a last-ditch attempt to stop it. In the build-up, Szoboszlai tugged Erling Haaland’s shirt as they chased back, with the City striker then grabbing him in return. After a VAR review, referee Craig…

Controversy at Anfield: Why Guéhi’s Foul on Salah Sparked Red Card Debate Liverpool’s clash with Manchester City was packed with intensity, quality, and drama — but one moment in particular has dominated post-match discussions: Marc Guéhi’s foul on Mohamed Salah that many believe should have resulted in a red card. The incident occurred during a dangerous Liverpool transition, with Salah accelerating into space and bearing down on goal. As the Egyptian forward pushed past the defensive line, Guéhi made contact from behind, pulling Salah back and halting the attack before it could fully develop. The Referee’s Decision The referee judged…
What happened after Manchester United’s win over Tottenham went far beyond the scoreline. It turned into a moment that highlighted leadership, humility, and togetherness inside the squad. After the match, Bruno Fernandes chose to give up his Man of the Match award, insisting it should go to a teammate who delivered a flawless performance. That player was Bryan Mbeumo. In a game where individual awards often steal the spotlight, Fernandes’ decision stood out. The United captain felt it wouldn’t be right to take personal praise when someone else had been the driving force behind the victory. Speaking after the game,…
What played out at the Emirates was more than just a football match. It felt like a scripted drama filled with emotion, meaning, and ruthless purpose. Manchester United didn’t just beat Arsenal on their own ground — they dominated them in a way that felt symbolic, almost ceremonial. And at the center of it all was a player driven by more than tactics or form. This was about memory, pride, and unfinished business. Bryan Mbeumo was the standout figure of the night, not only for his performance on the ball but for what he represented. Once developed under familiar faces…
The controversy all traces back to Bournemouth’s dramatic 3-2 win over Liverpool at the Vitality Stadium on January 24, 2026. It was a wild, back-and-forth game.

Dominik Szoboszlai then produced a stunning late free-kick in the 80th minute to make it 2-2, giving the Reds hope of rescuing a point during a difficult run of form. But deep into stoppage time, chaos struck. A long throw caused panic in the Liverpool box and substitute Amine Adli…

Conor Bradley Bradley has been ruled out for the remainder of the season after…

The Gunners have finished second in each of the last three campaigns, narrowly missing out on the title as Manchester City and Liverpool surged past them late on.
